Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks/YMMV

The game derailed many details of the established canon, some important, some less so. Of course, whether or not that matters at all, is a matter of varying mileage.


 * Broken Base: The story in a nutshell.
 * Character Rerailment: Towards Jax (retroactively from Special Forces and Deadly Alliance), the game seem to be closer in line with Jax's original characterization. Justified in that it's supposed to be a retelling of MK2.
 * Dork Age: Kung Lao's portrayal in Shaolin Monks. He's jealous of Liu Kang, when in the past he had only cared for the protection of Earthrealm. It became canon as of Armageddon, with his ending, and sticks in Mortal Kombat 9, although there he at least has the primary motive of avenging his ancestor's death at the hands of Goro.
 * Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: Mileena.
