-I decided to make Hornbuckle as a complement to Liu Kang because, although it is an official character, hasn't made appearance in MK fighting games, moreover, I don't want to everyone start to ask me for obscure characters like, Ruby, Nimbus Terrafoux, Karbag, Zenkaro, etc, etc, etc. so I decided to leave it as a little added.

...but that is going to have to wait and see if the first pack is even successful enough to warrant more DLC down the road.

They should not of liu kang in this game or kung lao feels like they are just fillers even kitana

-I would agree if not for the point that most arcade endings are traditionally considered non-canon. This might be a rare example of one being canon.

Time for my take after I seen it all in it's entire glory last night.

-Speaking of Outworld... Uh, just because Mileena is dead (via the creepiest make out scene in the history of ever) doesn't mean the revolution is dead. Tanya and Rain are still out there and they could lead a reborn revolution.
-Liu Kang and Kitana are together... yes, it wasn't meant to be like this, but this will work as king and queen of the Netherrealm. Speaking of which... where are the others? Even more so, where was Jade? Wasn't she killed in 9 as well? Why wasn't she corrupted as well?
-9 had a huge body count, and mostly on the side of the good guys. Here, the body count is much lower and the bad guys get the brunt of it as the only deaths were Baraka, Mileena, Quan Chi (BTW, he must be really weak if all it took to sever his bond to the corrupted forms was a straight kick to the nads) and Shinnok. 4 deaths in 12 chapters. Not bad...

the story is already out before WB remove it prior console release:

He has no variation name on his Lifebar, unlike all the fighters that appear in the story, which means he's probably NPC only
