Perhaps that's all what Shaolin Monks is: An exploration on what could have happened but didn't. Midway probably wanted to do something different, so therefore Shaolin Monks is released- a new game that looks at the "what if" possibilities. The mythology of Mortal Kombat has been around LONGER before Shaolin Monks. The scar issue has been one of those things: In the game, Kung Lao gave him the scar. The other posters however only discussed how Shaolin Monks didn't have the elements that Mortal Kombat fans were told and "believed" in. You have raised some good point in concern of the game. When people contribute their thoughts and opinions on the matter, they do not come to be criticised or mocked or being told that they "do not know what they are talking about". What's even more distressing is your arrogance in the line " I shaprly disagree with the person who has posted below me, who clearly has no idea what he is talking about". If you are a Mortal Kombat fan, why don't you look into it's mythology also rather than the storyline raised in Shaolin Monks? Quite apparently, your arguments, while good, only support the game, and not the actual mythology of Mortal Kombat.
"I'm not here to tell people what's popular- I just come out here to tell the truth"- "Rowdy" Roddy PiperĬlearly the poster below has spoken about the actual Shaolin Monks game than the actual mythology of Mortal Kombat. I think it should be changed - DragonMaster 02:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)Ī Little Respect.Or Is That Too Much To Ask? It's a in-game tribute to the lady who did the voices for most of the female characters. " or even downright silly and idiotic "Free Princess Melewski" " for one, Scorpion wouldn't attack Kung Lao and Liu Kang because he's not evil, he's neutral. anyone who thinks it is, doesn't know anything about the MK story. I think for the sake of neutrality and to be more accurate we need to say that the game may or may not be canon to the storyline.- Subzero961 Certain pieces of video game storyline gets retconned all the time and the storyline just retcons the comic book but still holds up to the rest of the series. The simple fact is that fans are assuming that the game - Iamstillhiro1112 23:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)is non canon, which may be true, but there was no official statement from midway that said the game is non canon. I think the article needs to be changed to say that the game may or may not be canon to the storyline. I do believe that it is one of the videos that was made before MKSM was released.- Dark Rain There's also many reviews saying something like "explore the rumors" or something like that. I don't know how can I source it but I heard Ed Boon say that on one of the videos either at IGN or Gamespot. The Haunted Angel 18:35, 15 August 2006 (UTC) If you can source that statement, that a re-worded version should probably mentioned in the article. Ed Boon himself said it in his interview before the game was released. The storyline may not have intended to be canon because they've taken all of the old rumors (like Ermac MK1 appearance, Goro being a secret character in MK2) and put them into the storyline of Shaolin Monks. 28 External links modified (February 2018)Ĭan a section on the voice-over actors be included? - In Defense of the Artist 22:48, 16 January 2007 (UTC) Something to note about the storyline.14 'How can I change the language in this game ?
