At the rate this is going, the series might not last very long, as the the games will go off of the story.

A lot of groups and clans are about to be terminated, but the Forces of Light and Darkness should remain forever, regardless of who's apart of it. This "war" has torn both groups apart. I just don'tsee how this could've happened.

Fujin is trying to resolve things
Taven is just doing his thing
Stryker is just doubtful
Bo Rai' Cho is just an old master
Everyone else was tainted at least once

There are some ruthless and cunning people, true; but hell, dynamic characters keep the plot going! The intro also put neutral characters on the evil side, which I can see fitting because these people are out for their own motives. I think the addition of the neutral characters tweaked the traditional MK dichotomy of good vs. bad that old school fans are used to. The characters are a bit less static than the old MKs and perhaps that is why some people seem tainted now.


I get you, though I'm not sure if Scorpion was ever evil.

I just want all this war bullshit to stop. It's been going on sicne MKDA, and I'm sick of it! I want old fashioned, ass-kicking, head-ripping MK stories. Everything is all lopsided, now.


Head-ripping stories? Wtf?

At first, the whole "race to the top of the pyramid" thing was pretty random, confusing, out of place, and just plain stupid. However, since we now know that Shinnok is using everyone to destroy each other while he takes the power for himself, that makes things more interesting and logical.

Pre-retcon Scorpion is a neutral character who is essentially a good, but conflicted person.

Post-retcon Scorpion, who I most certainly despise, is an evil character who goes around, looking for trouble, only to get his sorry ass handed to him, time and time again. He represents everything wrong with Scorpion, but a lot of people can't/don't see this.

As for the intro, yes, it's canon, but not everything that happens in it is canon such as certain characters getting killed (e.g. Li Mei, Kenshi) or the neutral characters actually siding with the evil characters.

who's to say it isn't canon since the intro is technically the ending, and there is no real ending since they are scrapping this story in mk 8

But Shinnok isn't the face of the story; Taven is, yet his position seems very vague. The only thing, that seems to make any sense is the origin of the Red Dragon.

Well, yeah, Taven is the central protagonist of the story, but Shinnok is the main villain. What do you mean when you say that Taven's position seems very vague?
I heard that Hotaru is a zealot of the Dragon King. And in the MKA intro movie, you know that scene where the good MK kharacters and the evil MK kharacters were running up to each other?
Well, I had noticed that Hotaru was on the evil characters' side and he killed his girlfriend!!!!(Li Mei)

So... there's a good good chance that Hotaru must be evil!
By the way, I was kidding about Li Mei being his girlfriend... maybe wink

What the heck are you talking about? There's no romance in MK except for the hinted Liu and Kitana, and Sonya and Cage... that's it.

As far as you, stop bumping old threads. Take a look at the dates more often. This was active back in 2007, this is 2009... Threads are only active until three months pass, otherwise, it's old and no one wants to respond to it anymore.

Meh.
Nevermind.
Look, I was just telling how I feel. And I was just kidding about the whole Li Mei + Hotaru thing. And I'm not trying to bump old threads, so be respectful or keep your mouth shut, do you understand me?

Umm, I'm not being rude to you, I'm trying to make it to where you don't get skulled or anything by a Mod since you've basically bumped three threads since you got here.

No duh you don't mean to bump threads, but seriously, take it into consideration on seeing when the date was from the last poster.

And don't tell me to keep my mouth shut, I'll ramble incoherently whenever I please. Do YOU understand me?

Oh, for Cripe's sakes, just what is it do I have to do to get some goddamned respect around here?! You know what? Screw this. You won't be seeing me here anymore. Bossing me around... *Grumbles*

Wow, am I bossing you? I don't think so... but, in your case you think I am, which obviously as I said, I am not. I was only trying to help, but if you're going to continue thinking that I am not helping, well then that is your loss. I am sorry, I truly am, but if you want to earn some respect, quit believing everyone is out to get you. Which in my case, I am not.
