Probably the movies. I like them but still probably would have made them rated R and give the characters more development.

Also, the first seemed to take itself too seriously while the second one just had some stuff that was just plain silly and negligible ..IE Raiden and Shao Kahn being brothers, Lui Kang unleashes his animality, mentioning that Stryker and Kabal were kidnapped (their existence in the movie was not even justified except that they were great warriors so I just felt it was pointless to mention them), Jade and Rain being killed off in a Power Rangery way. I like the colors and most the fx tho in annihilation and the music so that I prolly wouldn't have changed.

I would change the game in alot of ways.

One way is to remove some of the unwanted characters from the game like mavado,darrius,mokap,drahmin or other characters due to opinion.


Another thing i would like to do is make the story alot more simple and clarify the characters alot more. Scorpion's story doesn't even make any sense anymore with all of the things they seem to write. Look at Lui Kang. He has a simple,good story but others are different.

Something else i have thought about is change the amount of villans in the story. What are there like 10 main villans in the story anymore. Shang Tsung,Dragon King,Quan Chi,Shinnok,Moloch,Shao Kahn,Motaro,Goro????Reptile. Too many main bad guys and i think Shao Kahn and SHang have the most important story out of them all.

thats it.

I set up this thread and I'm still not sure. Boon has twisted,turned, and screwed up the story so much, there's plenty of things to change...
Now I know. I would change the story between the older Sub-Zero and Scorpion. Maybe we could twist it a little bit in a future game...

Sub-Zero is sent to the Temple of Elements to retrieve the map. When he gets to the map room, Scorpion is already there. They decide to battle for the map. They fight a hard, fierce battle, but Sub-Zero defeated Scorpion in the end. Scorpion begs Sub-Zero to spare his life and Sub-Zero does. But Sub-Zero doesn't know that Quan Chi was watching him fight Scorpion. Quan Chi appears before Sub-Zero and orders him to kill Scorpion. Sub-Zero refuses and Quan Chi uses his magic to possess Sub-Zero. Quan Chi, using Sub-Zero's body, kills Scorpion in cold blood. Quan Chi lets go of his hold on Sub-Zero and disappears. Sub-Zero has no idea what happened and leaves back to the Lin Kuei. Then everything that happened throughout MKMS-Z takes place. Then Mortal Kombat 1's events happen, except Scorpion doesn't kill him. Now there is no little brother in Mk 2 and all the MK2 events happen. Sub-Zero leaves the Lin Kuei in MK3 and all the events happen like normal. Same things with MK4, MKDA, and MKD.

This would be good because if there was no little brother plot, Sub-Zero's story wouldn't have been cheapened. This would be a long-running success story that took 5 games to gop through. I think it would've worked.

I would change the fact that noob an smoke joined forces that just annoyed me because i like both characters, just not together

Terminating the favorism of the ninjas.

Too many good guys, very few relative villains.

Reiko, Tanya, Liu Kang, Sindel ... eradicate them.

ELIMINATE THE SPECIAL FORCES IN THE GAMES! Replace them with martial artists or anything different in the MK universe.

That is all

Eliminate Kobra and Mokap. Also, the movies could have been better than the crap we see today in a sequel titled, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation Oh yeah, I would change the storyline of MK:SM and kill off any information about MK:SF.

Finish off Drahmin and Mavado! I don't like 'em

if anything, make a mortal kombat game where you create your own character and play as he or she in konquest mode, that would be my number one thing.

I'd change the Konquest mode and Shaolin Monks storylines in the new games. They have retconed the story that I grew up with. The story is really hard to follow now because everything is contradicted now. The only thing I know for certain about Mortal Kombat is that Liu Kang won in the first game and Shao Kahn was once the emperor of Outworld. Everything else was basically not touched on.

I would have kept mortal kombat in a struggle as the following:

Shao Khan VS Earth.

Biography: After a stalemate in the MK3 tournament, Shao Khan and earth do battle in MK4!! Something like that...

to take away the goofyness! make it more sinister like mk 3/trilogy.

that Raiden could stay alive and keep fighting. i mean Raiden is supposed to be immortal.

Are you trying to imply that MK3-MKT didn't have any goofyness in it?

The only thing I would definitely change would be how Jade was treated in MK:SM.

One thing only....*sigh*

Keep the story straight! You have a beginning you keep that as your beginning. In the first game all there was a 'simple' tournament with some unique and some not so unique fighters. Then the weirdness starts. Ok the weirdness of MK2 and MK3 wasn't so bad...they stuck to the same story and it's understandable why the story had to change so much from MK to MK2 (No one thought MK would be such a big hit!). Then MK4 came around...storywise not too far from main story except for the return of Johnny without any good reason why. (Out of the kindness of Raiden's heart is not a good reason) Then comes MK:DA and the whole story we all knew goes almost completely out the window and where in MK:D it continues it's journey down the windswept road.

Keeping the story going by changing the characters some is good, but please keep the story's past in mind when continuing it.

The Deadly Alliance to actually be stopped by the heroes. Sure Onaga would still be alive but the good characters would not have to be manipulated by Onaga and have to stop him. They would replace more useless characters in the MK story like Havik, Kobra, and Kira. Raiden could still be dark and the characters that die really do die instead of coming even though there would be no Scorpion or Noob Saibot from this.

there would be some things i would change

- more earthrealm characters to make it seem more feasable: mk seemed like a mix of texas chainsaw and cronicles of narnia since MK1

- Raiden should be a boss or SU since he is a god and it seem stupid for someone like kobra to pound him into ground

- most death traps should be escapable, but if you can't escape you should lose both rounds at once

He's not a god anymore.

"I have relinquished my status as Elder God..."

He is still the God of Thunder...but he does lose most of his power when he leaves Earthrealm

I would change the lack of effort they put into alot of the recent fatalities.
