I think that Smoke should be like Cryax in MK:7 and find out a way to become human/cyborg because he was malfunctioning during the fight between Noob and Ashrah. I think in the Noob-smoke ending, Smoke should have betrayed his master and team up with Sub-Zero and then Noob run away. The only reason why they will not kill off Sub-Zero because alot of fans enjoy Sub-Zero. That must be a reason why they don't want Noob to come back as the Original Subby. Still, Noob should create his own clan and become ruler of Outworld.
