#kronika may be cetrion's mom but she is my mommy

Here some random thoughts at 2. AM about this new Mortal Kombat.

I only saw 10 minutes of this new storymode and I can only feel extremely excited, I’m one of those who really lost faith that Ed Boon would deign to give us and his team of writers something good, but heeeey! At least it’s not Harada and his same story cliché around the Mishimas (oops, my bad, I strayed)

I’ll be honest, Geras’s trailer didn’t thrill me but that fraction of a second of interaction between him and the new "Time Keeper" is all I had to say about his role.

Liu Kang is the least fit to be in charge of something so important, heck, did you see the stupidity of his choices? First he chooses Kitana to be by his side for eternity, how can someone like that have objectivity? Geras, you are wise though a traitor.

Kronika may not have been one of the biggest villains or that today we could compare her with I don't know, Onaga? (I'm sorry, villains are so rare and lousy in...being that, villains.) But she played her cards, and never allowed herself to be guided by her desires for a "good" utopia, she just wanted balance and for Raiden to stop bothering ( and me too, Raiden is such an annoying character)

She was manipulative and never thought of others other than just tools to get what she wanted, then we have Liu Kang who tries to make everyone happy and have a good life but again, people are never really happy or conformist.

( Yes, I hate Liu Kang and Raiden, in case it's still not clear. )

I think that giving all the power to a character like Liu Kang is the worst possible idea, due to his chaotic personality and added to the fact that he has no idea what it is to assume the responsibilities of a God / Elder God, he will only think about his interests and what he thinks is the best for some and not for all, his vision is not critical or neutral, he judges and makes events happen according to what he wants.

He did not give the characters an option to choose what they wanted, I am not saying that Shang Tsung does not deserve his new life, but Sindel? Come on, she deserves to suffer and know what humility is, she has hurt so many people.

Speaking of the storymode aspects, I like what I see, I think there are more scenes, more information and less fighting, I really hope for something well written, that can solve the doubts of the fans and fill plot gaps.

there is a wish/hope list.

Kronika's return really sparked some interest in me again for the game, I hope the power of the script and “the good guys must win” doesn't ruin the character again.

I don't want to see Raiden again, enough of him being the only God to do something, or the only one to take responsibility.

I really hope/want Cetrion to return, there isn't as much waste as introducing an Elder God and putting him to such a stupid use as being someone else's lap dog. He is such an interesting character, so beautiful, I genuinely believe that she never wanted to follow Kronika's and if she played alongside her it's because she is her daughter, (so as not to disappoint her.)

I hope Liu Kang gives her a good life (so far we only know that titans are not affected by hourglass but Elder Gods?) I want her to be happy, her mother selfishly sacrificed her TWICE.
