Jax claims everyone is happy That's cause armageddon is a garbage game to begin with. But so what if other endings have problems. We are specifically talking about why this one sucks. Other endings have their reasons too. Him just saying everyone is happy is just a basic "and they all lived happily ever after". Just cause it doesnt say it specifically happens doesnt mean anything cause they dont say it doesnt. Which is also makes it just a basic shitty virtue signaling ending. But like you said, MK is know for having shitty arcade endings. This one doesnt get a pass and is shitty in it's own way. I just find crappy virtue signaling fluff stuff annoying. Which is why I dont like this one. --- MICHALECOLE is the greatest poster of all time I have literally watched him bang my mom before <cite>yutterh posted [p:949522294] in Remember w...

Which Well that's dumb. By that logic Sub-Zero's ending is the worst and disturbing because he goes on a grotesque serial raping spree across Canada and Brazil I mean it never said it didn't happen. Jax flat out said he kept tinkering until everyone was happy.

KStateKing17 01/15/21 6:03:25 AM #103:	yutterh posted... Most endings dont cause a large population of people disentrigsting or not existing in their endings. So many people I know would just simply not exist. Compared to others just being a in universe thing. I thought it was a cool thing to hint at kung jin being gay and having a gay character on the roster, still kind of pissed he wasn't added in, but then just have blatant virtue signaling for the sake of virtue signaling is kind of dumb. Seems to be a lot of genocide, resurrections, genetic transformations and non canon marriages in mk endings. --- The 17th King of the State of K <cite>KStateKing17 posted [p:949522410] in Remember w...

Collat 01/15/21 6:11:30 AM #105:	Makes sending sense that someone who had been given time travel ability abilities would go back and stop slavery, but the way they worked it into into the ending did seem a bit silly for something so serious.

Outworld's armies destroy the Earth as we know it. Jax and the members of a surviving African nation save the world going forward and bring about peace and tranquility.
