...X and 11 weren't reboots of any kind. They were sequels. What?

X was a soft reboot where they do a big time skip and focus on a new cast in the same setting, like how the Star Wars sequel trilogy was a soft reboot.

I'll admit that my reasoning for 11 is nebulous, but the entire plot builds up to Liu Kang rebooting the universe. I guess it's more accurate to say that MK11 ends up rebooting everything, rather than the game itself being a reboot. I still think recalling old characters like Liu Kang and Kitana to continue those storylines, instead of working with their current revenant forms, is kind of like rebooting those characters - but ehh.

Though there is the assertion that Kronika reset the timeline multiple times offscreen, which would mean there's like eight different timelines between MKX and 11. But that's pedantic and stupid so I'm not going to talk about it.
