liu kang role?

Now know that it is confirmed Liu Kang is going to be in the game, what will his role be. Well i have somewhat of an idea. So let me know what you think of it.

Quick summary:

I think Liu Kang with be in alignment with Quan Chi for some time of the story but will somehow be revitalized. But will go out on his own to fight the evil clashing with heroes and villains alike. Eventually LK may be forced to team up with his old allies and but may once again be mortally wounded and within that "forgives" Raiden before he passes on.

NRS has a mess on their hands.

Liu Kang didn't die anywhere near Quan Chi in MK9, but Quan Chi still got his soul? So basically Quan Chi can just get anybody's soul?

So let's say your situation happens, Liu Kang dies peacefully after making peace with Raiden. Why shouldn't I be sitting there thinking "Well, Quan Chi's going to have another Revenant in his army in MK11. So MKX didn't actually matter"?

They gotta figure this Revenant/resurrection shit out and lay down some ground rules. People make fun of the X-Men and Avengers because death there is a revolving door, but at least they usually have the decency to stay dead for a dozen issues or whatever.

Well, the agreement between Raiden and Quan Chi was that with Netherrealm's help, Quan Chi will own the souls of all Earthrealm warriors who die in the conflict. Not "died". So when Liu Kang died, his soul went to Quan Chi.

Quan Chi said no to Raiden's deal.
 
All the people Sindel killed were nowhere near Quan Chi when they died so why does it matter with Liu Kang?

Yeah, so we're back to "NRS has a mess on their hands."

Hopefully MKX will have an explanation for why Quan Chi was capable of working all that resurrection magic in MK9 that won't be possible again in MK11. Maybe he was actually using Shinnok's amulet to do it?

It's one thing to say that death has no meaning because people keep coming up with creative ways to come back from the dead, it's quite another when one character is literally known for bringing anyone he wants back any time he wants it.
 
You're correct Liu Kang didn't die near Quan Chi but if you remember Shao Kahn made the deal, offering the fallen Earth Warriors to the Netherrealm for their Allegiance.

Well as far as you sitting their thinking, "well here we go again"" I would hope and think the writers wouldn't do the same thing twice in a row especially if it "failed" Gotta have alil faith i guess

But in comparison to Xmen/Avengers, MK only has 50-60 characters tops that they've ever elaborated on. whereas Xmen/Avengers has too many to count. So when they die or on hiatus theres usually another character there to pick up the slack so to speak

I agree with you that there needs to be some laws instead instant revolving doors, but im hoping thats what this New Generation does for the veteran...let them get some rest!

Maybe it would be best to just forget the MK9 story and just look at the MKX story and henceforth from now on.

It's not just MK9, though. Quan Chi turned Sub-Zero into Noob Saibot and he turned Scorpion into a Wraith in both continuities, these aren't MK9-exclusive events. It's an issue with Quan Chi's extremely vaguely defined abilities. There will be plenty of opportunity to flesh that out in MKX though, so hopefully NRS will take it.

Oh yeah. You're right. My bad. That being said, they were offered to Quan Chi from Shao Kahn. Not sure how he got the rights to their souls, though. Meh. It's all screwy. lol

The natural path of corrupted souls (all of them had corrupted souls) is the Netherrealm.

Shao Kahn konsumes all souls with his soulnados.

So, he kept all of Eathrrealm's souls from the invasion, but he let the souls of the warriors go into its natural path.

On other words, Shao Kahn stole everything from Netherrealm by killing people and konsuming them. But for Quan Chi's "loyal" service, he let the souls only of the champions to Shinnok as it should be.

Maybe I'm forgetting something very obvious... why were their souls corrupted? Like Liu Kang for instance?

Kombat. I'm not even sure if any soul makes into "Heaven", since the Elder Gods inhabit the void.

Liu Kang almost killed Shao Kahn, that's corruption.
 
That makes no sense. In the original timeline, Johnny Cage was killed after MK2 by Motaro, and his soul went to the Heavens. Raiden brought him back to fight Shinnok in MK4.

Well we cant really go by that anymore because in the original timeline the chosen warriors souls were protected right?

And that was avoided in the new timeline because Raiden superman-dove through Motaro :laugh:
 
What if all of the revenants' souls were tainted somewhere along their lives?

For example; Liu Kang trying to kill Raiden = Tainted.

Kitana doing all her evil deeds for Shao Kahn before finding out the truth = Tainted.

Kung Lao being deceitful and trying to one up Liu Kang = Tainted.

Which is why they all went to the Netherrealm for Quan Chi to revive.

That's exactly my point.
[MENTION=18014]theincubuslord[/MENTION] you can't go to the Netherrealm having a "good" soul. Not even if Quan Chi wanted.

Remember that Shujinko got tainted with evil only by training on the Lin Kuei.
 
Oh, Kitana would be sent to the Netherrealm either way, with all she's done in her lifetime, all the people she killed. There will always be a certain darkness in her heart, no matter if she switched sides and freed her realm. I don't think she would be able to redeem herself no matter what.
