We all know we'll be scratching our heads wondering what exactly happened in MK6 until MK7 is released (which, in turn, will probably cause more head scratching and debate), but until then, I'd like to know your thoughts on the MK:D character endings. Which ones do you think are canon? Which ones, while perhaps not canon, still reveal vital information? Which endings did you hate? Which did you love? There are a lot of questions that need answering, and we can, at least, ponder their meaning as of now. Fatality.

You just beat me 2 it, to making this kind of post that is. I think that Mileena, Baraka, Sub-Zero and Kenshi endings are canon and in that order aswell. Let me explain: Mileena thought she killed Baraka not knowing it was just a servant( she cant smell aswell as the other Tarakatans can) So Baraka sliced her, leaving Sub for his troops, who beats them and gets empowered by Onaga's armor, but gets blind sided by Hotaru who in turn is killed by Kenshi.
I do believe Noob is Subs older brother yet I dont think his ending did happen. Seeing how the dying Tarakatan utters the words:"The Dragon King lives..." meaning Sub zero wearing the armor.
If Sub turns out to be The true King than it would make sense that only Scorpion is able to kill him, Reptile was just a vessel for te essence that is Onaga. And Li Mei could be feeling Sub-Zero's emerging powers he is getting throu his armor. As for Shujinko killing Onaga that might have happend while Ermac was Freeing the others from Onaga's control and 'reviving' Liu Kang who gets fused together with his body by Raiden, who inturn kills Shunjinko afterwards 4 his failure. Sindel pierces the heart of Onaga preventing from the soul forming again.

You're logic kinda made me think. When it said "The Dragon King lives..." I was thinking he mean't Onaga. Like he was saying it to Sub-Zero as a warning and such.
The best ending I think, was Noob Saibot. Him killing Sub-Zero didn't seem canon, but him being his Older Brother, in a tainted body did.

I've only beaten it with 12 different characters: Tanya, Sindel, Mileena, Sub-Zero, Kabal, Shujinko, Raiden, Li Mei, Darrius, Dairou, Ashrah, and Ermac.
I don't think Tanya's, Dairou's, Li Mei's, or Kabal's endings happened.
I think Ashrah did escape from the Netherrealm, Sub-Zero did die, Sindel did help feee Kitana, Ermac did help the good warriors, Shujinko did kill the dragon king, and Raiden did kill Shujinko. I'm not sure about: Jade's, Mileena's or Darrius's endings though.

You know, I never thought about it. I was always wondering why Sub-Zero is the Dragon Master with the Dragon Medallion yet seemed to have no ties at all to Onaga. Very profound, indeed. If nothing else, it'll get me thinking. I don't know what the hidden (if it is, indeed, hidden) relevance of Sub-Zero's ancient kori race's armor is, or even of that of the Dragon Medallion, but it certainly makes Subby's ending better. And it WOULD explain why Scorpion has suddenly become Sub-Zero's enemy again. A three-way battle between Noob/Scorpion/Sub-Zero. I like the idea.
I forgot to mention that I think Mileena, Baraka, Shunjinko, Sub-Zero, Kira, Ermac, Jade, (maybe) Liu Kang, and probably a few I'm forgetting, are canon. I think that Noob is Sub-Zero's brother, but that he didn't kill him. I think that Li Mei did betray (or would have betrayed) everyone due to the taint of the Dragon King's soul, but that she didn't hook-up, or hasn't yet hooked up, with the Dragon King. I have no idea what Nightwolf's doing. I think Hotaru's dead, either by Darius or Kenshi. Raiden going postal is open for debate. Kobra, I think, is dead (and, quite frankly, should stay so.) Kabal's probably out recruiting and dodging Mavado again. Reptile's probably either dead or dying. I think we'll see more of Havik, maybe even Shao Kahn (big 'maybe'.) Smoke's still going haywire, and Noob's doing his own thing. I think Ashrah didn't make it (because, let's face it, you can't kill Noob just yet. Or Ermac.) I think Scorpion might be out for Sub-Zero again (because Quan Chi's probably dead.) Bo Rai'Cho's probably alive, albeit fatter.
More than likely, NONE of the endings really took place, with the exception of a few, like MK:DA showed us. *Sigh* Thanks a bunch, Midway. Still, those are the ones I think happened. Fatality.

Good topic, I was going to chage my screen caps topic to a discussion since you can only spoil the game by clicking the links. The topic is here: Endings Screen Caps To the creator of this topic, if you wanna merge our topics together to keep one on top to leave room for other ones I got no problem with tthat. It's a simple cut and paste to bring over the links because my topic may contain too many spoilers for people.
Well anyways I thought it was retarded how they killed Sub Zero in anyone's ending when Boon said himself in one of those trading card videos "Sub Zero and Scorpion will be in every MK game as long as I'm around." or something to that nature. So unless they plan on bringing sub zero III or resurecting him, or even just leaving Noob in the game and saying "hey he's sub zero."
Also they killed Hotaru in too many endings. Hotaru was badass I thought, much more deserving of life then Kria. Oh well I guess thats why I'm not writing the MK story.

I agree. There was some Sub-Zero and Hotaru hating going on. Oh well. I don't think most of their death scenes occurred anyhow. Fatality.

I pointed this out a few days ago, but with Sub-Zero's ending, it said that Subby was heading to meet up with "Raiden and the others." Now, there are only two meetings with Raiden and the others I can think of: the one before Deadly Alliance, just before the heroes headed into Outworld, and the one were the Earth heroes raided Shang Tsung's palace.
Kenshi's bio mentions that he met with Sub-Zero, and Subby mentioned that he was attacked by a Tarkatan horde, and that he fought with Hotaru. It seems to me that Subby's ending, fighting the Tarkatan hordes, was actually the incident mentioned in Kenshi's bio. Unless someone can think of another meeting with "Raiden and the others," and think it likely that Subby was attacked by a Tarkatan horde twice.
I think the mention of "long live the Dragon King," was just the Tarkatan warrior referencing the fact that Onaga just rose.

I think Raiden, Shujinko, Ermac, and Liu kang's endings are all canon.
Even though Sindel's ending probably isn't canon, I think what it says is true, that Onaga actually has two ways of ressurecting himself and that it's not the real one.

MIght i add that in Sindel's ending it says that the armor is missing of the corpse inside the sarcophagus(sp?), which i believe is the armor Subby is wearing. I believe that some tadbits of some endings happend and some didnt happen at all.

Subby wearing Dragon King's Armor? Onaga wearing Dragon King's Armor, look Onaga in the intro (without his armor) and in the game (with his armor). Sub-Zero wearing a lost treasure of his kori heritage.

My opinions on the Endings...
Ashrah: I don't think this ending will happen, since I think the MK Team wouldn't kill noob anytime soon.
Baraka: Could have happend, it connects with Sub-Zero and Mileena, sends out troups to attack Sub-Zero and also sends out another tarkatan to go to Mileena
Bo Rai Cho: Could have happend, he was given some of the army by Mileena who was acting like kitana, and he gets his part of the army+Li Mei to attack Baraka.
Dairou: Cannon, may have happend, may have not...who knows...?
Darrius: ( same as above )
Ermac: I think it did happen, It would suck if they were still under the control of the DK, this could give us a hint of them being Super Unlockables or some of them coming back in MK7
Havik: I dont this this has happend, cause if Havik has the power of the DK's heart wouldn't Havik be an all powerfull person who can cause chaos himself?
Jade: Possible has happend, but i can't prove much on this since I doesn't connect with anyone elses ending.
Kenshi: could have happend, it follows a straight line of Mileena's, Baraka's,Sub-zero's endings, wich makes this possible that this might of happend. This ending is like a sequel to the other ones listed above.
Kobra: This ending most likely did not happen, they wouldn't kill all the good people, then there wouldn't be much of a storyline to follow for mk.
This is all the endings im talking about for now, I will put my opinions on the other endings later. Im to lazy to do it all at once. smile and im proud of being lazy. lol

well I havnt seen all the endings but from sub zeros Im guessing him and kenshi were on their way back from burying frost and sub still thought raiden was with the others so he mentioned them like that. he had no idea what had happened since he was with kenshi. anyways so he was going on with the origional plan from DA and he was attacked. Then he found out that onaga was alive by the tarkaten sayin "long live the dragon king". so sub zeros been messin around lately he needs to get his butt into the real action and take out some leaders!
oh ya and my opinion is that the armor is still his kori armor. there isnt really a reason why it could be onagas if he found it at the freezing caves in outworld (guessing)

Onaga is powerful because he has the 6 Kamidogus... without the Kamidogus, Onaga lost some part of his power... Havik only obtains the hability of resurrecting people, like Shao Kahn... and someone more (see other endings) wink
