Look, it's not only Outworld Civil war that doesn't match.
Ermac's departure from Mileena was a rape to canon.
But we have other assaults to canon dignity.
I mean, do you really think Kotal would give up having the Amulet? On MKX, he clearly shows that, if he had the chance to protect it, he would have done it.
In the comics he was somehow like "nah, I can't have it". And, knowing the kind of betrayal he could make to protect his empire, it would fit better if he accepted. But the game makes it look like there was never an option for him, so, this thing of Raiden asking "who wanna babysit Shinnok" is BS.
Cassie and Sonya: BS. Look at their relation in the game. Considering everything that happened in the comics, it should have ended that way, but the real point is: the whole plot (Cassie knowing everybody and getting through all this plot) should never have happened.
Hanzo and justice. Look, I would LOVE that this would be this outcome. Really. But that wasn't what MKX has chosen. How come Hanzo has become almost Batman and in the game he is, again, an irresponsible piece of s***? I know he discovered everything, but look at everything he went through in the comics and decided to be Batman, not Red Hood. Makes no sense with the game.
You know, after all those chapters, besides the term "Reiko Accords" in the game, you can easily just end MK9 and skip to MKX, using all info that the game itself gives you, and have a consistent story.
It makes much more sense doing this. All these adventures between the games, seriously, it started real good, but it went VERY far from the characters themselves. It's almost a new game.
And the more it progresses, more away from the source material it becomes.
