re: Mortal Kombat 1: SPOILERS start on page 6

I'm also not a fan of that change. Don't understand why that would need to happen.

I really felt like they had an opportunity to explore things that were just backstory in the previous games, and they aren't. Instead we're seemingly not even getting Hanzo at all, at least not as Scorpion. Would have been great to see this game actually explore the rivalry between Bi Han and Hanzo, even if they reimagined how it went down and they ended up as friends instead of enslaved to Quan Chi.

Another thing I would have liked them to explore is the Outworld-Edenia tournament. Instead, King Jerrod is apparently already dead, Sindel is in charge, but they're calling it Outworld instead of Edenia. We're just going to skip all of that backstory completely? Would have been great to get Jerrod as a fighter and explore the Outworld-Edenia tournament.

ETA: The things they've announced about the story so far have somehow made me less excited for this game. Really didn't think that was possible.
