I wasn't referring to the Erron-Jax-Sonya trio. They definitely aren't in the Happen For The Most Part tier.

All right, yeah, I wasn't quite sure which endings you meant. I definitely think the stuff about Erron's background in his ending is more than likely canon, though, especially with the one intro he has with Kotal.
 
Here are tiers of the endings I knew about:

Okay, let's tier the available Ladder Mode endings by how they will be used after MKX:

Happen For The Most Part
-Raiden (see Story Mode's ending)
-Kotal Kahn (Gives him something to do for MK11)
-Scorpion (Tied in with Raiden and Kotal's endings)
-Kenshi (Ties up the Red Dragon's loose end)
-Kitana (Looks at Kitana's character)
-Kano (Introduces Kano's son)
-Ermac (Shang Tsung is back!)
-Mileena (Gives NRS an out from D'vorah making her head into a bug feast)
-Reptile

Iffy
-Kuai Lang (not sure if NRS would go with Draconinjas)
-Ferra/Torr (Depends on how long after MKX MK11 happens)
-Quan Chi (Gives Quan something to do in MK11, if Boon and Co. won't let him sit out MK11)

Didn't Happen Beyond Backstory
-Erron Black (He shoots Cassie and Co. dead)
-D'vorah (Turns Shinnok into a manmomma, takes down the realms)

Kinda hard their still being removed, some are on YouTube on and off. Some are hard to find cause I guess you could say they hidden under different names and thumbnails.

Yeah, I might have changed my mind about certain chars. It's been four years lol.

MK9 made me love Kabal and MKX did the same for me with Cage.

The flow of time has indeed changed :laugh:

But yeah, I too have changed my mind about Johnny, he's pretty cool in this game. I'm even starting to like Kano as well...kinda.
 
It reveals that over a century ago, Shang Tsung rewarded Erron for a hit by using his magic to lengthen his lifespan. Erron shoots the Next Gen Special Forces dead after Kotal ordered a hit on them.

I feel like that's part way true.
The first part, at least, since in one of his intros with Kotal he says 'I'm older than I look'
Would make sense.
 
I'm confused about Jax's inclusion in the story-mode in general.

His and Sonya's ending, as non-canon as they might be, hint at the former's demise. From all of the story-mode, the most redundant chapter I particularly found, was Jax's (let's face it, Kenshi could have easily pulled off that chapter had NRS decided to put him in the storymode - but noo he had to get 'injured'/'blasted away' to let others shine, as usual -_-). Sub-zero's came close too, but the link-in with Scorpion at least added his worth to the story in general.

Why give him that much air-time if you might not want him to continue on anyways? I'm okay with him being on the roster in general, but I think NRS' approach for MKX did a great disservice to the newer characters in terms of their introductions, apart from the kids. The plot of the storymode, I personally thought, was overtly simplified (The comics are doing far better imo). Cheesy, but that's alright, it's MK and it was toned down a bit. I don't even mind Cassie beating the big bad, in the end..

But I was disappointed with the roster that got chapters in the storymode. There should have been at least three more chapters (Kenshi, Erron Black and Ferra/Tor OR Ermac) to develop the bad guys' side of the story as well. Overall, I'd give it a 6.5/10 - I'm sorry, I just see lots of wasted opportunities this time around, as compared to MK9.

Though I must add, D'vorah and Kotal Kahn were pulled off beautifully. Some say Kotal's stance as 'just another bad-guy' is overused and simplistic, but I think given his position, it was the most apt response. Realpolitik, as exhibited by an outworlder. Well done, indeed.

And D'vorah, of course, is as Machiavellian as they come. These, and the kids were perhaps the highlights of the storymode for me.

Smoke's MK9 ending turned up to be true (confirmed by Smoke himself at the beggining of MKX) so I think that any information of the past (events before said ending) revealed on endings is safe to be considered true.
 
Does Jax die in Story mode? He stayed behind in the netherrealm to intercept D'vorah, but she arrives in Earthrealm. Then Shinnok says that the force in the Netherrealm will be neutralized.Then we don't hear anything from Jax after that.

I realized this.
I think we're just supposed to assume that he makes it out.
If he died, I think it'd be implied more heavily.
