MKX Video Analyzing/Speculating

glammetal said:
Raiden saw the original timeline. Now it has been changed. It doesn't exist anymore. It would be just like if you time traveled backwards and then tried to return to your original time. You can't because the fact that you went back has altered it into something different. The original timeline doesn't exist anymore only the current one because that's the one you return to. The original timeline is gone. Only the memory remains.

The original timeline has to exist still. Otherwise any memory of it would fade away from Raiden's mind. I see MK9 more as him creating a NEW timeline. But I don't think the original timeline will ever disappear. Even if the events of that timeline do come to a halt, it still remains as a scar in time. In my opinion at least.

The story of the first 3 should have been completely off limits!

That's the beauty of art, it can be interpreted entirely differently by people; to which I completely disagree. You want your original MK1-3 story to be preserved? Go back and play your SNES copies of the games and don't worry about the rest of the series. Problem solved.

Retconning the first 3 is blasphemous, and so is tolerating it.

Bi Han killed Scorpion originally. Sonya is not stronger than Raiden. Kuai Liang beat Bi Han as Cyber Sub Zero vs Noob Saibot. That doesn't determine who is stronger as human Sub Zero.

Lol. Yes, they are.

Ridiculous as they may seem to you, they are now canon. Sub-Zero beat Noob Saibot 1 on 1.

It's like I argue Shujinko is no better than a chameleon character and people argue that he is one of the best in the series. My argument is the only reason he is that important is because of how they set konquest up. That still doesn't make him any less important though (as much as it hurts for me to say that).

So, whether it was a product of the story or not Kuai Liang beat Scorpion (which Bi-Han did not do), and he also beat Bi-Han.

Just admit it. He's just as good as his brother.

Again you forget Bi han killed scorpion in both timelines. He's not as good he was just a place holder. Most people just see Sub zero not the person behind the mask. So in that Bi was the first and there for the most well Known.
 
Bi Han only killed Scorpion when Scorpion was still a basic b**** human. It wasn't until Scorpion was resurrected that it became a fair fight.

Yet Scorpion came right back and killed Bi-Han in both timelines, therefore creating the same situation we've had since MKII in both timelines.

Who's to say that the visions don't stop in this game though? Scar in time or memory, it's the same thing.

I can't follow your sports references and cheeseburger slang.

I don't understand why it doesn't though. I mean if it were like Sub-Zero fighting Hanzo (no powers) I would understand. However, both Sub-Zero and Bi-Han had respective powers both of which they have learned how to wield effectively. So why does their fight not determine who is stronger? Both have powers so both are on equal ground.

Some of the fights may be ridiculous if that's your excuse. However, fighting Scorpion and Noob Saibot were Kuai's main storyline parts respectively. Meaning NRS intentionally put those fights there. He was intended to beat Scorpion and Noob. Don't be mad.

If the visions or memories of what he had already seen were going to stop it would have happened the second his amulet was shown undamaged.
 
If I remember correctly wasn't the Kuai Liang and Scorpion fight interrupted? The Lin Kuei cyborgs took SZ before he finished Scorpion? It honestly doesn't matter because my main point is that only a Bi Han as Sub Zero vs Kuai Liang as Sub Zero fight proves who is the stronger Sub Zero. No Dragon Medallion, no cyborg enhancements, and no un-dead powers.

We will never get this fight so the only thing I have to go on is what happened in MK9 and MKMSZ since it apparently still canon. Bi Han was the original and he accomplished a lot more than Kuai Liang. In the current timeline Kuai Liang comes up well short of Bi Han. Nothing in the previous timeline can be implied either. Kuai Liang is dead as of now and Bi Han is MIA. Nothing else is true until we are told otherwise.

Bi-Han is still Bi-Han. Kuai Liang is still Kuai Liang. Kuai Liang still beat Bi-Han, therefore Kuai Liang is better than Bi-Han.

There's nothing wrong with being a purist, but shooting down differing opinions and calling us tolerating the changes "blasphemous" simply because they're different from your own isn't being a "purist," it's being an ass.
 
There's nothing wrong in liking the original story, but everyone should sorta deal with the fact that the writers decide to change things up with it whether they liked it or not. It happened, and we cannot physically turn back time to prevent Netherrealm Studios to not make Mortal Kombat 2011.

I legitimately hate people who are not purists. Those people are posers.
