The whole black dragon and red dragon war plotline was just some of MK worst writing. Then again pretty I’d say that Earthrealm is the weakest narrative space in the whole series. Shirai Ryu, Lin Kuei, The “Special Forces” (peak 90’s “military is cool”), all of Earthrealm is just kinda lame to me.
Never got into the lore of MK. A childhood friend of mine did, he knew all of it and obsessed over the games. RIP man, he died of an overdose back in 2017.
RIP to the homie. Sorry to hear that. Overdose deaths are a real bummer.
I beat this game and saw every ending, if I recall correctly, Sonya’s ending was the same but instead the phone call finishes with Jax. So basically, I remember a lot of asset re-use, ha, economical but comically bad. Has been MK games feel since that Trilogy game. Nonetheless I consider myself an MK fan, the 90s movie is still a favorite of mine.
So yeah, been a while, I’ll have to watch all of the endings online tmrw to check my recall.
Jareks scream is burned into my brain from how many times i saw this ending.
