I remember babalities being a COMPLETE secret til the day MK9 was released. I was floored when someone finally performed a babality on me day one. I know there's a darker tone this time around, but there's always been room for some silliness. Friendships would be the ideal way to lighten the tone, or maybe friendships with a dark twist in the tale.

D'vorah's bugs create a jar of honey, which turns out to be poisonous...
Kitana offers a birthday cake which withers into a rotting plate of maggots
Sub Zero offers a Sub Zero doll which when held turns them into ice... etc

I think it's the one -ality I'm hoping they've kept hidden.

Boon confirmed on twitter that Friendships weren't coming back, although I personally would love them to.

I think it might be going in order from mk 1 to mk 2 and so on. There could be a chance they might be in the next game if not animality should be in
