Just thinking aloud. What is the general comunities thoughts on previous mortal kombat endings in arcade mode?

I for one can't stand them. All of them go off in different tangents, making us wait until the next game to work out which ones are cannon. I want to feel rewarded with a characters fate ends up, not wait another two years to see if it really happened that way. Most of the stories aren't even very interesting and just contridict another characters ending. I don't care if Sub-Zero gets attacked by a Tarkattan hoard and kills them. I don't want to see two characters have the same endings with just a different outcome (usually who wins the fight)

For the next game, I'm hoping they will break tradition and make all of the endings cannon. Even if you play though the entire arcade and find out that your favourite chracter gets killed off - focus on telling one 'overall' story, instead of multiple "what if" endings, and pick which ones suit best for the next game.

Another thing is I am hoping they will bring back the animated endings from Mortal Kombat 4. Reading/listening to text is a rather unrearding experience. Mortal kombat cinamatics are awesome, and it will be good to get something rather than just a opening and story mode. Armageddon konquest had cinamatics all expect the ending - how a story concludes is the most rewarding part of a story and I hope Mortal kombat can break from tradition!

I don't think animated endings will happen though because it will be a lot of work for the Mk team - 26 characters, plus DLC ones they will have to make. But I'm hoping for cannon endings. I am rather hopeful with the endings of MKvDC. Although they stuck to formula, none of the endings contrected each other. Although it was a non-cannnon game, it is possable that all the endings could occur with each other.

Anyway, post your thoughts.
