Hey guys, just saw the sneak peek of the launch trailer on mk's main youtube channel (you can watch it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YR5QrWBzb8)
anyway, there you can see on 0:21 (please let it run very slow to see that) Dark Raiden and towards the end you either see Liu Kang in a new Dragon form or you actually see Onaga, not sure about that yet. Anyway, I think, Liu Kang will capture Dark Raiden and take his place as protector of earthrealm. So to the dragon thing, there are lots of possibilities:
1. Host body could be Reiko since he wanted to become the Blood God.
2. Liu Kang in a new dragon form
3. Actually Onaga released, known as "the one being"
However it plays out, like it or not, in my opinion this will happen:
Liu Kang won't kill Dark Raiden, reason why is well he doesnt want to relive the netherealm war.
Reiko (given he is the host) will loose any meaning in the story since he will be used by onaga.
This opens up a cameo possibility of Shujinko and maybe either Fujin taking Raidens place or Liu Kang ( I would say 99% Liu Kang)
Well, people will die (it's mortal kombat) but this time around no one will get resurrected I think (otherwise it would become too much like dragonball).
So here is my question to you guys: Will Raiden snap out of it or will he be held captured in the elder gods chambers.
PS: I still don't think that Shao Khan is dead, since quan chi doesn't have his soul and the elder gods took him with them and in my opinion, hold him captured in one of those leaked pictures, where you can see 3 seals with different colors (blue,red,green). And who knows, maybe Ermac is lying by saying that he has the emperors soul. Just think about this stuff and let me know what you guys think.
Peace out, Jin
