I'm hoping there is some twist down the road that the Shinnok from MKX isn't actually him but his clone plan being initiated again. And the real Shinnok is still just biding his time and manipulating things behind the scenes due to him having knowledge of the previous timeline as it was hinted at in one of his mirror mach dialogues.

And the reason he sent this clone at all was to both imitate the previous events and also corrupt Raiden.


If not. I mean, how hard could it be for a god to regenerate a body in hell?

I remember that dialog. The only thing wrong with that plan is that it seems a little too close to Shao Kahn's clone story. But aside from that, I would love for Shinnok to be plulling the strings. It would make more sense logically. As old as he is I expect him to be a master mind at everything. In most series where characters are extremely old it rarely works out that way.sad


Heh, make it so that he created a surrogate body for himself to engage in the war with Raiden. Not quite a clone but still not truly Shinnok. Would make sense seeing how the clone plan bit him in the ass the last time he did it.

And if they went this route they could also explain why this time Quan Chi was actually a devout servant of Shinnok instead of playing him.

This time Shinnok knew Quan Chi's intentions confronted him and threatened him and put him in a position where Shinnok was fully in control this time.

That's a really good theory that easily fills the plothole/retcon of Quan Chi stealing the amulet. I don't know if that's what they're going with or if they simply said fuck it and retconed/ignored it like they did with some other things in this new timeline. I'd like to hope they put some real thought into it.

Ugh, it's like Loki all over again where I can't tell if he lost on purpose for some bigger event in the future that will happen in a later game/movie because I'm not happy with the way they lost and refuse to believe that they're that weak and stupid.

I definitely undeniably undoubtedly want Shinnok back in a future game. Alway's loved him since mk4. I would love to See him and Shang Tsung fight for the amulet sometime. We know what quan did in mkd opener would love to see Shang and Shin set it off!
