How to get Scorpion back to his former glory....
Hey Ed Boon, John Vogel, Shaun Himmerick, everyone at Midway who says he's the "coolest" character and their fave. You don't act like it. So let's go down a list of things you can do to put Scorpion back to the cool and interesting Scorpion.

1. Make the vow canon, retconning this ruined Scorpion's story.
2. Stop having him get his ass kicked everytime he gets into a fight.
3. What you did to him in Shaolin Monks, should be made non-canon and just damn forgotten about...
4. Stop simplifing his story and add more depth
5. Show Scorpion killing the older Sub-Zero!

That last one isn't necessary, but IMO that should've been in the SM intro movie instead of just Scorpion getting his ass kicked by Sub-Zero.

But seriously, everyone at Midway claims Scorpion is their favorite, but yet when you look more closely it doesn't seem to be so. Anyone want to add to the list?

One thing I'd like is them to (re)establish is that Scorpion cannot die whenever he wants, wake up in the Netherealm, brush himself off, and get moving again like nothing happened.
Even if he is undead, that's just retarded.

Remember back in MK1 they said after Scorpion died, he was given a new body, implying that his old body was destroyed, and he needed to be given a new one before he could leave the Netherealm. Most likely by Shinnok or Quan Chi.
So if Scorpion were to "die" again, his current body would be destroyed and he would therefore need to be given a new one again. Or else he'd just be a damned soul with no way of leaving the Netherealm.

That way there are consequences for Scorpion dying and he can't just die whenever he damn well pleases and not be affected.
True Scorpion is an undead spectre...that does not mean he should be turned into Wile E. Coyote.

I thought the vow was canon but that later he turned on it because he was working for a different side than Sub. No?

It's a complicated story, the vow did appear to be canon, but in MK4 he's after Sub-Zero again leaving you to wonder what happened.

This means that either:

A. Scorpion did not vow to protect Sub-Zero
B. Quan Chi told Scorpion that the younger Sub-Zero had a part in murdering Scorpion's family and clan, causing him to break his vow.

I'm going with obtion b personally.
