Okay, bear with me here. Remember in Mortal Kombat 1 (or was it MKII? Anyway...) it was stated that in order to invade another realm, one must win 10 straight Mortal Kombat tournaments? Well, it seems to me that after MKII, that idea went right out the window when Shao Kahn pulled the whole Sindel being reborn on earth plot during MK3, but at least Outworld had already won 9 of the tournaments before Liu Kang finally won and Shao Kahn lost patience. And then there was Shinnok in MK4. He didn't even have to win one tournament in order to have his crack at domination of the earth realm. Here's my point. After the whole storyline with the Dragon King and whatever is planned for MK 7 has run its course, I would like to see a return to the "must win 10 straight Mortal Kombat Tournaments" formula. The whole series could start over again from scratch say maybe a couple hundred or even a thousand years later after the events of MKDA, MKD and (I guess) MK7. Let's say that another realm wants to challenge the forces of earth to Mortal Kombat to decide the fate of earth realm (or maybe it could be earth realm trying to dominate another realm this time?) and that would be the first game of the new storyline. Then, the next game would take place hundreds or thousands of years later(I forget how often the Mortal Kombat tournaments are supposed to take place, although I know I've read it somewhere). It could keep going on and on like that for the next generation of MK games. And since the storylines would take place so many years apart from each other, you would always have new characters and fresh storylines, but you could still have returning favorites like Scorpion or Raiden since they're immortal. Anyways, I was just bored and thought I'd throw that idea out there. Let me know what you think!
