So, did they really screw Onaga? C'mon, don't make this mystery.

How is Onaga screwed at all?
Cyrax is from Botswana
Lin Kuei is based in China
Its heavily implied that Cyrax isn't dead
"Death before Dishonor" happens in all media cultures.
Maybe the Red Dragon is a cult that awaits for the return of Onaga (like a Mesiah thing), to be honest I think it's cool to put a new story behind them, the RD sucks ass right now, and I don't care about Onaga, so if they unite 2 boring things and craete a new and more interesting thing then and I'm all for it.
It's honestly your best bet as an Onaga fan. Because as of now, the events of the story aren't lining up in his favor. Reptile isn't a wandering monster anymore, and it looks like the "Devolution" has been retconned from his story. So Nitara can't exactly trick him along with Cyrax (who is MIA at the moment) into going into the Dragon's lair.
I don't think they changed his origins, because that in and of itself would also change Shao Kahn's origins and would just be a mess. I just think they're tying the Red Dragon to him. Like the Red Dragon discovered who he was, and then worshiped him. I don't think any of this implies that they created him or that he exists because of them.
I mean, the kamidogu being daggers in this timeline doesn't make sense either, nor does Shinnok's amulet being the genuine article or Mileena not being born until during MK2. It was a soft reboot technically, but they've hard rebooted a lot of stuff.
