Ok. No. And, I'll tell you why.


1.) Scorpion is never going to be a living mortal again. Why? Fans wouldn't want it. We like the idea of an undead ninja on a quest of revenge, and later redemption. It's a classic theme, that has been defined by the character himself. Scorpion is the embodiment of the morbid and dark thoughts in the recesses of people's fears. That's what makes him so popular. If he were to all of a sudden turn mortal and be just another regular human....he wouldn't be Scorpion anymore. Hence, he'd lose popularity and fanbase.....and there goes a key factor of MK as a whole.

2.) I don't see Scorpion directly helping Sub-Zero. There's always been tension between the two, despite the accounts of Scorpion trying to protect the younger Sub-Zero as pennence for killing his elder brother. (ie. Noob) If anything, Scorpion would be the neutral party, doing his own thing. He's always been the loner, and even if he was to have good intenetions...he'd do them his own way. The same goes for Subbie. Sub-Zero would most likely have a very hard and awquard time trying to stay side-by-side with Scorp. The two might have the same goal in mind, but there would still be friction due to both of their pasts.

3.) Raiden isn't nescessarily bad in MK:D. He's just fed up with people like Shujinko messing things up in the long run, and making his job more difficult and causing more harm than good. Hence, he threw out his more orthidox ways of handling things, and opted for a more brutal approach to things. He's still gaurdian of EarthRealm, but he's just more decisive about handling things, and takes a darker approach to them. Despite his attitude being more harsh, his intentions are still the same - Protect EarthRealm....at ALL costs. (even if it means sacrificing idiots like Shujinko) I hardly think Raiden would just up and switch teams for the hell of it, and I don't think at all that he'd be able to get the likes of the Tarkartans, the Dragon King's Army (which were actually destroyed when the DK bit the dust again, to my knowledge), and this Chaotic Army you speak of. It's just incredibly off the wall, and doesn't make for any type of believable storyline.


So, it all seems a bit illogical. Nice try, though.

I don't like this idea at all.

Raiden isn't evil. Scorpion will most likely remain a spectre and him being human again just won't happen imo. Sindra cleared it all up as far as I can see.

I liked the idea

I agree wholeheartedly with Sindra and tgrant, although I at least think Scorpion could try and beomce mortal, so long as he failed.

It seems a bit extreme for Raiden to do, imprisoning the Elder Gods? If anything I think the Elder Gods would send someone to deal with Raiden for acting hasrhly to the mortals now that he is no longer patient and proper.

what i'm saying is scorpion doesnt return to his former self and his alligenace with sub is out of desperation like in mkd with raiden and the deadly alliance.

But again, it goes back to the fact that Raiden isn't really all that evil. What reasons would he have to team up with the Outworld armies, use the Kamidogou, and march against EarthRealm and the Elder Gods? You have to have some kind of believable idea for it to work.

Not to mention the fact that I don't know how many people are going to be ok with the idea of Raiden turning completely evil. In MK:D, he merely turned more "badass" of sorts. Your suggesting he become fully evil, and work against all the heros. In my opinion, people like Raiden being the protector of EarthRealm, and they wouldn't want him to deviate from that and switch sides.....unless there was a *very* good explination for it; not just "He's pissed....so he switched sides." Raiden being evil is like the current incarnation of Sub-Zero being evil. Unless there's a good reason behind it, it's not plausable.

I'm just giving you some insight. If you really like your own idea, than you have to adjust it so it will make sense and tie in with the attitude of the said characters involved, and the game as a whole, if you want people to support you.
