My problems with this show.

The thing is with this show, as many others and foilms based on novels and games, The story of tne movie or series is way out from the original source. At least the story of the series was still good and fun to follow, despite the changes.

1. There's also nothing to suggest he wasn't, either.
2. When Rain makes an appearance in games makes no difference. Like Kitana and all Edenians they have insane life spans. Rain was an Edenian who ended up serving Kahn after Kahn took over Edenia. Since the show is set after this event, it makes absolutely perfect sense for Rain to be there.
3. Elder Gods are not all knowing. The story was supposed to continue in Season 2 with the Elder Gods undoing what had happened.
4. I agree. Scorpion was fully re-written here.
5. She was an Edenian with a long lifespan. This show takes place after Kahn took over Edenia. When a character appears in the games is irrelevant.
6. See #2 and #5.
7. It's not the same Reptile. There was an episode in Conquest which revealed that the name 'Reptile' is simply used by whichever one is 'in charge'. It's a generic reference not specific to only one individual. Alternatively, they could just have long lifespans like Edenians and this was all before he became a bodyguard.
8. When he appears in games is irrelevant. Quan Chi, like Shang Tsung, keeps himself alive and young through magic. Perfectly reasonable for him to be there. Nothing prevents this all happening before he served Shinnok or he could be working for Shinnok and we simply don't see Shinnok because there's reason for us to.

When a character appears in the games doesn't make a difference when dealing with a story. In the MK world these characters would not just magically pop into existence at that time. They have history and backstory which this show uses.

Also try to remember: this show is just an adaptation. It's NOT canon. It uses MK characters and story for the purposes of entertainment not providing an actual look into MK's history. Scorpion and Sub-Zero shouldn't be there, because MK games set them much later - as in, they would not be alive yet. We see Smoke when he wouldn't exist for much later. Scorpion's real name, occupation, and creation as a supernatural fighter were all entirely different. And so on. And so forth. Just how it goes.

Censorship is shít. To bypass: press the vowel keys while holding down ctrl+alt.

This series is not a part of MK canon.
