Which was one of the best parts of the game (if not the best), I might add. 🙂

Well, yeah, but it wasn't really hard to be the "best" part of that game.

Heh. Maybe, but even so.. It's been made a much bigger deal out of than it should've been for Liu to not be in one game. Just one game. 😐 His fans have just been spoiled rotten I guess.
I actually found his death to be a rather nice change (or turning point) for the series, even though him coming back as a zombie kinda ruined it.

One of the worst moments for me. I mean, sure he was the reason that MK was being repeatative with it's plot of roles but they could have had Liu Kang go another direction in his role instead of just killing him and turning him into a ****ing zombie. facepalm

Yeah.

They should have just let him stay dead, imo.

well even though he's back the games arnt about him anymore.

Thank god.

The next twenty games should just focus on Sub-Zero and Scorpion...

Wait...are you saying Mortal Kombat Games so far have not been about Sub Zero and Scorpion only?

Actually, Liu Kang was seen as the main character but trust me, the series hardly revolves around him but more around those new characters like Shujinko, Taven, and Daegon. As for the more earlier games, no one is sure who was the main character.

Which is why I like the series. It focuses more on the story and plot rather than a couple characters only. Every character in MK had to have made an impact to the story somehow. Mostly the sub plots, but the Sub plot makes an affect to the main plot.

... like Sonya and Meat?

Yes, and then let Shujinko, Taven, or someone become his successor 😄 (and I mean like for good, not just temporarily).

I mean, come on. The dude needed to somehow die eventually. I kinda got tired of him being the ultimate good guy and what not after MK4 (or was it after MK3? I forget 😛). At least Liu died a true hero in Deadly Alliance.. but then they had to dishonor him by bringing him back as some undead guy, milking him of all his worth.

'tis part of why Liu has pretty much lost his appeal to me 😬, and Raiden too kinda, with the way he was brought back after MK: DA.. though at least he wasn't a dark/corrupted thunder god in MK vs DC, but I digress.

Point is, no single MK character should be a main focus/one of the main focuses in every single game. It was probably only a matter of time until Midway would run out of ideas and decide to kill off Liu somehow (even though it was only temporarily in this case, but if they do that to him again by some chance, he should just stay dead).

There was one like that for Sub-zero (on the N64/PSX), but we all know how good that turned out to be.

The greatest moment in MK history.

Kung Lao should be the new hero and should have took Kangs place when he died.

I agree whole-heartedly with this post.

Ah. Guess I overlooked it somehow..

It was kinda obvious that Liu was the main character in the earlier games, given that he was in all of them, and given that it was he who canonically beat Goro, Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn, and even Shinnok.
Then there's all that screen-time he was given in both the MK movies and what not..

But as for the rest of what you said, I guess I agree to an extent.

Preferably the original Kung Lao (whom Liu was a descendant of), not the current one. He never did anything really.
Yeah. I know the original died, but they could just bring him back somehow, seeing as how bringing back characters from the dead is what MK does best 😐, whether it makes sense or not.

On a side note, whatever happened to Fujin taking Raiden's place?
