1- Well its getting old and repetitive, its became a cliché already within the MK franchise;

2-If one characters dies, that is not bad, now the way he or she returns, now that may be BAD! I don't want to see Nightwolf as a werewolf, or Kitana as part of Ermac being (her father controls the right limbs and she the left ones no?) and Kung Lao what?! A Mummy?!

3- If one character dies and then returns it kind of takes credibility to the meaning of “death”. A character that dies should stay dead that’s why “death” doesn’t work in fighting games. The only death part in fighting games should not be canon like all the fatalities performed, stage fatalities, hara kiris, animalities, brutalities, defeats when the health bar reach its end, etc.

So the best thing to do is just not killing the character, put it in hiatus, make it go missing or replace it by a successor with similar traits, it doesn ́t matter. But killing a character in a fighting game should not be an option, especially since it ́s a kind of game with strong backgrounds and everything canon related is heavily considered!

I thought the main goal of this new Mortal Kombat game was to undo the whole mess MK DA-A came to be, yet they are once again following the same path. I admit the gameplay, the graphics, the music, the stages, the costumes, the characters, the details everything look great unlike MK DA-A but the story mode just seems the imperfect piece (that we always hope not to be in a hyped game) to shattered the whole perfection expected apart.

This was so simple, they just had to return to the past, make surprising twists, make certain changes like changing characters from their original places, times, purposes, playing with the considered old canon like pawns and let the story unfold. But no they had to kill characters removing pawns of the game.

Now I fear the only native, the only Princess and the only warrior with a fatal hat in the game will be lost forever. Sure they can return but at what price?! I don’t want to see them turned into Zombies or dark versions of their former selves (reference to Liu Kang and Raiden). I don’t want them turned evil we already got that several times and looked how DA, D and A came to be.

They added so much crap to the storyline that they reached the top in Armageddon and didn’t know how to move on. So they decided that would be a smart move to return to the past and eradicate this whole mess and starting anew and fresh. Just to repeat again the same crap?! What the hell?! They should respect their characters, specially the iconic ones and preserve them! So far I think all the major characters have died at least once! They should die in characters ending only since it’s a “what if” scenario. But in the story mode?! Outrageous!

What is worse is that Raiden was the one who had all the characters fates in his hands, and disgraced the whole plot even further damaging his credibility as the Thunder God, during this time (MK1-3) he was so wised and respected and they made him look like a fool. Perhaps he was not ready for this surprise messages from the future but still he should be able to do better than the original timeline and not even worse! Sure characters dying is not new to the MK franchise but I don’t recall characters dying in the gold era of MK1-3 games (Johnny Cage dies but then it’s reveal he died in the movie that covers MK1, doesn’t count). This just increased from DA onward.

If Raiden from the future wasn’t able to send the whole message “he the one who must win is Shao Kahn” then it would be better for him to send the message to his mates Delia and Argus preventing them from creating Blaze. What kind of co-workers don’t discuss they work/objectives?! It would be better if Delia and Argus would act like normal Gods and watch the events unfold and do nothing about it. Like Raiden they tried to act and have done worse.

Ermac's dominant soul being King Jerrod, especially interesting during his time as Shao Kahn's enforcer, also how Ermac is going to act towards Sindel and Kitana when freed.
Beginning to wonder if the sequel will eventually have Kitana's soul in Ermac too by King Jerrod's pull, but that's getting ahead.
Also found interesting is the reasoning of Smoke's power, revealed national origins and Sektor being the Grandmaster's son amongst a few.

Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)Character deaths are good. It takes away bland characters and allows those related to them to grow. For example

Nightwolf - Never contributed anything to the MK canon. He was there as a minority, nothing more. He was a spiritualist, yes, but they really never got into that.

Kung Lao - He was constantly Liu Kang's shadow. He was never going anywhere. Even when they had the chance to turn him into something great during MKDA, but they let the chance pass them by.

Kitana - Kitana is THE best death choice they could've made. her story was constantly going nowhere. The same thing every time of defending Edenia and flirting with Liu. Her death also frees up possibilities for Jade and Mileena, who have also been attached to Kitana. With Kitana gone, Jade can move out of her second banana position and into a leadership role, and allows MIleena to get into deeper stories other than the impostor thing she's had going since MKG

Just the same, they're trying to avoid coming back to the whole "too many characters, time for MKA" scenario, by booting off some of the weaker ones early on. Say 2/3 of the MK1-3 roster moves on to the MK4 story, then only 2/3 of those, then about 1/4 of the MKDA-MKD characters stick around, you have a severely minimized roster, with only the important characters remaining, leading to ebtter stories and less MKA

These are just some ideas I have floating around, but I feel like they're valid points nonetheless.

The whole story leads up to this big reveal/twist that Shao Kahn was supposed to win so the Elder Gods could interfere so Raiden lets him win, the Elder Gods interfere... and it doesn't do shit! It makes the whole thing completely pointless.
