The story was actually well done and it's a hell of a lot better than MKX. People who freaked out about Scorpion's death need to remember that Hanzo died, so Scorpion is still going to be around. I felt bad for Jax because he hot rock bottom after his wife died, and he's doing whatever it takes to make sure Jacqui doesn't wind up like him.
Shao Khan showed once again why he should always be the main boss. His mere presence makes any scene feel big time, and his love for Mileena was actually kind of
. Shao & Kotal are pretty much evenly matched, and it really came down to who got the last hit. I commend NRS for recapturing young Johnny's complete a$$hole persona, when the 2 Johnny's were together you could see how much he grew.
I was actually glad that Kronika killed the elder gods, because they have been completely useless during these tragic events. Liu becoming a demi God didn't surprise me since he's the main character.
Current Sonya is definitely alive since Kronika rebuilt the Netherrealm temple. Rhonda actually wasn't that bad as Sonya. When young Johnny yelled that he'd tap that when it came to Sonya I lost it. I expect Liu to rebuild the timeline to the original MK1 timeline. I suspected it but now I know that Kung Lao has always been a jealous little bytch when it came to Liu Kang, the revenant Lao flat out said that it should've been him instead of Liu.
After seeing how things unfolded I actually don't have a problem with the current roster. I do hope that we get a kombat pack 2 that adds the forgotten favs. MK11 did a lot right to reverse everything MKX did wrong.
