My bigger issue with the story was things like:
1) Goro being dead not being properly explained -
I'm just supposed to accept the plot-hole that Goro is dead because
"everyone on Shang Tsung's Island miraculously died at the same time that he did," despite Goro being alive at the end of the MKX comics (seeking the help of Daegon) and being playable in MKX?
Ok, sure, let's go with that.
2) Cetrion being more useless in the MK11 story than Jacqui in MKX -
Sorry, but if you hate on Jacqui's story involvement in MKX but have no issue with Cetrion in MK11, you're a hypocrite, because Cetrion was utterly useless trash in the whole scope of MK11's story.
3) The
biggest issue that I had with MK11's story though, was, as Metallica would say "....and nothing else matters" -
