Scorpion seems about as shortsighted in both. Also, Outworld's sky IS purple in a lot of areas. The hell were they talking about?

Another one is that Takeda never was at the Sky Temple and the temple is located between realms.

In the comics Takeda travels with Scorpion per foot to the Sky Temple.

the comics aren't canon, at all. no relative to the MKX game whatsoever.

Yeah what is up with that? Outworld used to be very purple and I liked that because it added a bit of surrealism and the since of otherworldiness to outworld. Now Outworld is just the middle east or something lol.

I'm fine with the area of Outworld we see being sort of middle eastish because Outworld is a bunch of realms merged together so I think one part could look like it does in Mkx and another part with the purple sky and living forests.

I do wish we had one outworld stage with the purple sky though.

I thought it was confirmed they were.

It was. Errors are just errors. Most multi-media franchises have problems with keeping continuity.

Oh. My mistake then

According to Ed Boon, they are canon.

As for the sky being purple thing, it is in some places, like the Wasteland for example. I'm sure that's just ignorance on Kung Jin's part (Even if he is well knowledgeable when it comes to Outworld)

No biggie.

There was no indication Erron didn't remember them, either. He wanted to know what their business was in Outworld, not who they were.

I don't see how slightly different characterization is a continuity error. You're going to get that with different writers. This goes for Kotal, Sonya, and Scorpion, and it's pretty arguable how different they actually are--the comics' characterization is definitely based off of the game's from where I'm standing.

Maybe they just didn't officially divorce until 5 years before the game?

How are Goro, Havik, Reiko, and Frost not being mentioned continuity errors of any kind? What reason would there have been for mentioning them, or for telling how Frost ended up in the Lin Kuei? Do you really think Scorpion would have been interested in hearing Frost's entire life story? The comic will tell us that, and characters not just standing around and talking about where every other character is isn't an error in any way.

It's been 10 years since Rain got fried, and he's a demi-god. I think it's within the realm of possibility that he healed nicely.

Resident fan they dis mention reiko. When they said the reiko accords. But you are right Havik wasn't mentioned. Probably because he isn't important to shinnoks story

The comics ARE canon, BUT the games story was made first

Its the comics writers fault not NRS, but i'm sure the comic writers didnt know every dialogue of the game.

Regarding not mentioning Reiko or Havik, you gotta remember, some people won't be reading the comics. If they just happened to drop their names like something important happened, and that's it, that would only confuse the people who didn't read the comics, not to mention it would've added unnecessary dialogue, which costs money, right?
Heck even them mentioning the "Reiko Accords" in the game, I mean, I read the comics, so I know that Reiko plays a part in Mileena's backstory, but if I hadn't, I'd be pretty confused about why his name is brought up at all.

The comics may be cannon, but they're still their own entity. I was actually pleasantly surprised that the plot of the game had nothing to do with the central plot of the comic. I think it was a very smart move, because that way, the comic isn't just some tertiary counterpart to the game, that's there to supplement the plot or serve as a promotional gimmick for the game itself. Whatever is going on with Mileena and Reiko in the comics, and the whole Havik and the Kamidogu Blood Kode business is a completely different story arc, and something to look forward to in the comics themselves. Hopefully, it will allow the MKX comics to become an ongoing thing even through the next MK game.

How in God's name has no one mentioned the fact that Kotal Kahn and all Osh-tekk are blue/green in the comics, But in the game Kotal is flesh colored in the past and only turns blue in some unexplained manner after becoming emperor.

Furthermore Kotal's guards are themselves referred to as Osh-tekk in the mobile game, and are also flesh colored, but since all Osh-tekk are supposed to be dead, that also makes little to no sense.

I feel like they probably weren't supposed to be blue in the first place, and Kotal was supposed to have turned blue after using the dagger to invoke the blood god power... But they likely screwed up in the translation, so instead it's just a big ball of errors.

Also, Goro's ending implies he's alive and well with all his arms after Shinnok's fall. I realize endings aren't always solid canon, but I feel like his presence in the game alone at least half heartedly implies he's around in present day (ish) so while it isn't a plot hole per say... it is one of the more glaring things lacking explanation.

Simple - Comic has nothing to do with the game. It's a standalone story using MKX characters, but it has no tie-in to the game at all. The only consistencies are the character set-ups (Scorpion/Takeda/Kenshi). The actual events of the comic are irrelevant. I realized that by the time I was at Chapter 3, and now have no interest in reading the comic any longer.

Kotal Kahn's concept art says that the blue skin is actually body paint. You can see this in game if you look at him during a close up, his skin is covered in a very paint-like texture. I prefer him blue, though.

I'm not sure on that second issue though.

This.

The errors really bugged me. Was it that hard for Vogel and Kittelston to compare notes?

Seems as though it is hard for Vogel to compare notes period. What with all the retconning he continues to do like oh say with the Tarkata! God damn it Vogel....

They are, but at this point... they don't seem to be...

I think they're retconning the purple sky thing as a way for them to be acknowledged as a more mature game. I aksp think they're trying to engrain it in our minds that it never existed.

Like KJ said, "Dont believe everything you read on the internet."

I think it went away as soon as Kahn was out of the picture.
