Intaglio 2.0

Kitana's ending in MKvsDC? And others, but mostly Kitana's ending.

( SPOILERS. Don't click or don't whine. Those are your choices. )

While I'm still on the soapbox. What MKvsDC does make me want to see?

The next MK film, computer generated.

I'm serious. It's high time we got something more out of the technology than The Ant Bully.

Sometime while I was hibernating, Sonya randomly became a General.

(Ed really likes to do this. A lot. Witness the million Outworld generals and their total inability to get anything done. Which is a remark that must touch a nerve; Baraka is apoplectic. XD)

Meanwhile in canon, no sign that Jax, who originally outranked her by a fair bit, was ever promoted even once.

Nice, Ed. Real nice. Way to not even Google stuff. Because that would've taken four whole minutes if you paused to read the text that goes with the pretty charts.

Saddest part is, this seems to have happened about two games ago (I can't locate the precise point in canon, but it's around the time the whole deeply boring Kenshi thing takes place) and it was so quietly done that one of her more vocal supporters on the board appears not to know it has taken place.

I mean. I'm not the world's hugest Sonya fan, but if I was, I'd think her rank would matter to me; it outlines the expectations of her job, what she knows/is capable of, and the kind of shit she has to put up with, and also, definitively, why she does not have the time to go anywhere with Johnny Cage, let alone to the Bahamas to hop the broom.

I mean.

WHAT?

Wow, okay, by comparison, the idea that Leena's MKD ending might be canon isn't looking so bad.
