So... uh... What happened to the Kamidogu daggers? Why don't the comics ever mention Shinnok's amulet? Didn't the Shirai Ryu get massacred again? Where in the hell is Reiko? Is this game even the same canon as the comics? Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but seriously what happened here?

go back and read all the comments about your salt.

and yet you're still salty about Sektor on the table and still not understanding what bad writing is.

LMAO. It's like two completely different MKXs.
At this point I think the comic version of MKX is superior.

Also, I'm even more confused about the Jade thing now. Boon kept insisting "she's dead" like it was news. Yeah, dude, we played MK9, lots of people are dead. I assumed there would be some special explanation, like she'd double die in the the netherrealm, or she and Kitana would have some tender moment after getting revived in Kitana's chapter, only for Jade to die again and explain the mournful shit. But Kitana didn't even get a chapter. What is it that makes Jade more dead than everyone else who died? Also, why is Quan using Sindel in his entourage to fuck with Raiden? She wasn't even on their side! I kinda want to start a minor gripes thread, but I know people would take it too seriously.

Story isn't as bad as it was made out with the spoilers but the comic is indeed better than MKX story mode. Said it earlier, comic should've been the stoey mode man.

The comic book seems to largely be a side-story around the 15 year mark of the overall 25 year story of MKX. Reiko and Havik seem to be the main antagonists, not because they're involved in MKX, quite the opposite actually. As some had suspected, because they're entirely uninvolved in MKX. They used them as villains because they don't have plot entanglements in the main story, as it were.
That said, according the comic, the 6 Kamidogu are apparently the keys that unlock the amulet, and/or the amulets power. Though they don't seem at all related to the plot of the game. The comic more or less seems to be a way of addressing the question (and potential plot hole) of, "What became of the Kamidogu if MKD never happened?"
All THAT said, I thought they more or less implied in the comic that Shinnok couldn't be freed from the amulet without the Kamidogu. And as far as I'm aware, the Kamidogu don't factor into the game (though I admit, I've only seen the story up to Chapter 7, like many, because streams keep getting shut off in the middle, but I've heard zero mention of them).
So how the hell Shinnok gets released again, or if they're involved, I have no idea. But it's kind of a letdown that the comic book built so much cool story up, most of which turns out to be unrelated to the actual game, and more just a side-story taking place in the same world as the game.

Jade's "death" was just a way to make another one of Kitana's variations work out. She shouldn't be in the game because she doesn't do shit in the story. This was just a way to set up her role in the next game's story. She honestly doesn't need to be playable.

Nothing makes sense. I still don't see why they gave Kitana and Liu living versions as defaults when they're revenants for the entire game and might still be come MK11...

Not what I meant. I didn't say she should be playable, but she should have been a Revenant, even if one that you don't fight. Sindel and Stryker were there, after all. I'm just confused about the "she'd dead" remark. Obviously she's dead. But in a game where a third of the cast and most of the evil NPCs are "dead" that seems like a nonissue and a flimsy excuse. Or am I crazy?

Bad writing is only having Subby and Scorpion "bro up" over Sektor's parts. Again you'll of course take that as me being angry Sektor is not in which is not true.
Even if it was Cyrax or any other character on that table who didn't have any screen time and was just shown on a table like that it would have been shitty.
That's not the only way you can have Scorpion and Subby buddy up. Did you even read Scorpion's story from the original timeline where he tried to protect Kuai Liang after knowing that he is nothing like his brother?
That was good story telling, Scorpion tried to atone for his sins and protect this new Sub-zero and even after that in UMK3 when he joined Shao Kahn but later found out that Subby was on the good guys side and switched sides because he made a promise.
There are other ways to get Scorpion and Subby to "bro up" so for you to suggest that it was the only way or that it was even a good way is just ridiculous.
Don't get me wrong, I am, from a subjective stand point, sad that Sektor was just parts on a table but that's not my only point here and you know it. The story telling isn't that great in MKX and it wasn't that great in MK9.
Bad writing is just bad, I wish that the writer of the comics Shawn would take over the writing for MK. He made Reiko an awesome character, Reiko always had that potential but at the hands of John Vogal and that other writers on the team, he never reached it.
He even made Hsu Hao look good for the 3-4 pages he showed up in. You can't convince me or anybody with an actual functioning brain that the only way they could've had Scorpion and Subby team up is just by showing that little hologram from Sektor's memory.
They already do a lot of convenient shit in the story like having only Jax,Scorpion and Subby back to life while the others stay undead.
Why didn't Quan Chi take Kabal also with him? Why didn't he take Liu Kang or Kung Lao with him to face Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade? Because it was convenient for what the writers wanted, so they could have had Scorpion and Subby find out some other way.
Point is, your point of it being good story telling because that's the only way they could've had Scorpion and Subby "bro up" is just false.
I just showed you there are different ways, especially the story John Tobias had going for Scorpion.

Don't get me wrong, I am, from a subjective stand point, sad that Sektor was just parts on a table but that's not my only point here and you know it. The story telling isn't that great in MKX and it wasn't that great in MK9.
Bad writing is just bad, I wish that the writer of the comics Shawn would take over the writing for MK. He made Reiko an awesome character, Reiko always had that potential but at the hands of John Vogal and that other writers on the team, he never reached it.
He even made Hsu Hao look good for the 3-4 pages he showed up in. You can't convince me or anybody with an actual functioning brain that the only way they could've had Scorpion and Subby team up is just by showing that little hologram from Sektor's memory.
They already do a lot of convenient shit in the story like having only Jax,Scorpion and Subby back to life while the others story undead.
Why didn't Quan Chi take Kabal also with him? Why didn't he take Liu Kang or Kung Lao with him to face Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade? Because it was convenient for what the writers wanted, so they could have had Scorpion and Subby find out some other way.
Point is, your point of it being good story telling because that's the only way they could've had Scorpion and Subby "bro up" is just false.
I just showed you there are different ways, especially the story John Tobias had going for Scorpion.
Okay, okay, you guys are arguing in circles. Agree to disagree. The rest of the thread has moved on. Sub and Scorps squashing the beef was one of the better moments either characters have had in years, IN MY OPINION. Both characters got to be more human in that scene than they have in MK history, IN MY OPINION. So Sektor had to get shoved aside for it to happen? He's just plain less important than they are. The point is, it sure as hell isn't OBJECTIVELY bad writing to discretely kill off a side character that isn't relevant to the plot at hand. Just be disappointed and get on with your life. That, or make a thread about it so we can stop bogging this one down with the same post in slightly different words over and over again.

Not what I meant. I didn't say she should be playable, but she should have been a Revenant, even if one that you don't fight. Sindel and Stryker were there, after all. I'm just confused about the "she'd dead" remark. Obviously she's dead. But in a game where a third of the cast and most of the evil NPCs are "dead" that seems like a nonissue and a flimsy excuse. Or am I crazy?

Jade's "death" was just a way to make another one of Kitana's variations work out. She shouldn't be in the game because she doesn't do shit in the story. This was just a way to set up her role in the next game's story. She honestly doesn't need to be playable.

Also, I'm even more confused about the Jade thing now. Boon kept insisting "she's dead" like it was news. Yeah, dude, we played MK9, lots of people are dead. I assumed there would be some special explanation, like she'd double die in the the netherrealm, or she and Kitana would have some tender moment after getting revived in Kitana's chapter, only for Jade to die again and explain the mournful shit. But Kitana didn't even get a chapter. What is it that makes Jade more dead than everyone else who died? Also, why is Quan using Sindel in his entourage to fuck with Raiden? She wasn't even on their side! I kinda want to start a minor gripes thread, but I know people would take it too seriously.

LMAO. It's like two completely different MKXs.
At this point I think the comic version of MKX is superior.

So... uh... What happened to the Kamidogu daggers? Why don't the comics ever mention Shinnok's amulet? Didn't the Shirai Ryu get massacred again? Where in the hell is Reiko? Is this game even the same canon as the comics? Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but seriously what happened here?
