I wanted to make a little sketch with Grandpa Raiden, impressed by the song Forevermore, Lord of the lost, but as always I got carried away.
I haven't decided on the color, I like both options.
Anyways I laughed my ass off here
“It’s yours, not mine.”
Idk who needs to hear this (I do), but if everyone had a happy life where nothing went wrong ever, there wouldn't be a story to tell.
Not to mention a big facet of MK1 that is repeated, IDK how many times, is that Liu Kang gave everyone the freedom to choose. He laid the foundation for existence and then stepped back. Shang Tsung and Quan Chi made the decisions that led to them being a conman and a coal miner. Liu Kang didn't put them there. They put themselves there.
That scene where they're blaming him for their problems? That is them, deliberately choosing to shirk responsibility for their own actions and shifting the blame onto him because it is easier to believe that a Time God, who isn't even a Time God anymore, was conspiring against them the whole time than to believe that they are faced with the same consequences as everyone else. They would rather scheme and plot to get to power than get there honorably - and they end up doing the latter anyway once the ruse is discovered.
That is not the writer saying, "Hey! Look at this plot hole! Isn't Liu Kang petty for punishing them for a past that doesn't exist anymore?" That is the writer saying, "This is the type of personality that these two have. One of no accountability. One who believes that their problems are everyone elses fault." Because again, if you were paying attention to the story, and not taking that one scene out of context, you would have put Liu Kang giving up his timekeeping powers long before they came along together with the fact that they ended up where they are on their own.
The entire point to the story is that we choose our own destinies. That's what Mortal Kombat has always been about.
You may not like this story. You may even have valid criticism of it. But this is what they were trying to convey the entire time you were thirsting over Bi-Han's arms or Johnny Cage's ass.
