Line 20:
*** Perhaps Quan Chi managed to find a way to get a peek at Raiden's visions and took advantage of it.
*** Either that or {{spoiler|Shinnok ''himself'' pulled a Raiden as well and gave his past self a heads up (Shinnok survived the events of Armageddon alongside Shao Kahn, Taven, and Liu Kang's spirit, as the Shinnok seen in ''Armageddon'' was [[Actually a Doombot|a clone]]). It could explain why things went so wrong; two parties with innate knowledge of the future combating each other would be more likely to screw up the timestream.}}
**** This theory has a lot of validity, as {{spoiler|the ending'd [[The Stinger|stinger]] implies Quan Chi and Shinnok had been manipulating the game's events from the beginning, which they never did to this extent in the original games. Raiden was also his [[Well
* Why is Noob Saibot so willing to work with Quan Chi? In this timeline, unlike the original, Scorpion hesitates against killing Sub-Zero until Quan Chi projects a false "reminder" image of his family/clan's destruction. Sub-Zero sees the image as well and protests his innocence before being slain. Given how he saw this accusation first-hand, why would he be willing to openly support the person who got him killed?
** It's been implied before that Bi-Han as Sub-Zero and Bi-Han as Noob Saibot are distinct. In his ''Deception'' ending, it's mentioned that he would've been proud of his brother, but his descent to hell stripped away his compassion. In his ''Armageddon'' ending, after killing Blaze, Noob is confronted by Bi-Han, who wanted to "regain control of his divided soul". Noob Saibot is Sub-Zero minus any redeeming qualities; which he'd presumably would've regarded as weaknesses. So he probably wouldn't hold a grudge. Also, as ''Deception'' and his ending in this game show, Noob may be serving under Quan Chi, but he's got ulterior motives.
