IF that happened then maaaaaaybe 6 or 7 of the characters from the 3D era could have somwhat of a chance of being in.
Been thinking to myself if Liu Kang's trailer was 1/2 of the story trailer, and that perhaps another one with Shang Tsung winning could be the other half shown at the PS showcase tomorrow.
I mean, if peace is Liu Kang's timeline, then maybe chaos could be Shang Tsung's timeline.
Would be at least interesting if characters like Havik, Reiko, Daegon and others were on Shang's side planning a massive assault on Fire God Liu Kang.

"Oh, that's right. Dominic is in charge of writing this shit. Nevermind."
Atta boy. Don't repeat the same mistake, I did with Kronika. I also thought, we will be getting a twist villain, with Kronika turning out to be actually trying to save the universe and Raiden going mad from being corrupted with power and his past failures weighing on him, leading him to extreme actions/decisions.
Story is very likely to be some another world ending nonsense. NRS still doesn't get it, that it wasn't just time travel that wrote them into a corner. It is also the insane stakes they keep putting out.
MK9 - Whole Earthrealm is in danger!
MKX - Whole Universe is in danger!
MK11 - What's bigger, than the universe? Eeeeer... TIMELINE. Right. Ok.
MK12:
"Eeeeeer... what's bigger, than a timeline?.... Dave? Jerry? Anyone? Come on guys, you expect me to figure this out? I am just a story writer!"
Janitor comes in, angrily looks at overfilled trash cans:
"Puta Mudre, can't you gringos replace trash bags once in a while? I even put TWO trash cans for you, idiotas"
Dominic slowly, almost in dramatic way, turns his pale face towards the janitor:
"What did you just say?"
"I SAID Pendejo, that I even gave you TWO trash c.."
"THAT'S RIGHT!" Dominic leaps on his feet, lifting his arms in glorious triumph, as few still living neurons in his brain make a desperate connection.
"TIMELINES! Plural! Oh Dominic you magnificent beast, what would I do, if I wasn't me? I am a genius!"
Dominic jumps back into his seat and feverishly starts writing everything down, while astonished with his divine self: The ink spreads across the pages, his hand becomes into an unstoppable force, that gives birth to new worlds, drama, intrigue, betrayal and sacrifice! Worlds colliding, as great battles take place. One page after another falls to Dominic's hand, as he create a masterpiece, that will change EVERYTHING!
"Just you wait Hollywood! That Oscar will be mine!"
Janitor's anger cools down and is replaced with pity, as he looks at a grown man kissing his own reflection and shouting gibberish, while scribbling stick man on a board with a cheap marker. The man silently picks up the bags and walks away, realizing that what he holds in his hands, has more value, than whatever remains in that room.
