I think that's just it really. A good statement on why compassion is a good thing, or even having Raiden confront himself; that taking in shinocks power had made him so different, that he counted as two wildly different entities, or a paradox short on time. By simply removing him I didn't really feel his story resolved properly, though perhaps that was the point. That titan was simply capable of rewriting people from history even *before* she had her full power.

No Raiden version will ever top richards old Raiden from the previous five games. Easily one of the best if not the best written character in the franchise. A wise god who wants to protect and does what he can to help and be good but is conflicted with tragic things happening and ends up being hated and misjudged, resulting in losing himself to the darkness. This whole story turned into shit the moment they decided to waste dark Raiden in mk11. If they had made him a major threat and follow the set up from mk9 and x, it would have been insane. Sadly they wasted him and the build up was a waste of time. After that, the story turned into shit. This is where the downfall of a great story starts. I watched the whole mk1 story and I will now buy mortal kombat games for the gameplay, not for the story. This multiverse shit is just bad. A full game dedicated to Dark Raiden turning into a menace to the realms would have been much better than this timeline/ multiverse bullshit.

People don’t know, that dark raiden also is the raiden from the mk9 beginning who says: „You must win!“ So he’s weaker than Shao Kahn with blades ability’s, dark raiden got bodied by that op Shao Kahn. That op form of Shao Kahn should get more screentime and not be killed by kitana

that dark raiden is weaker than this one. and the shao Kahn who absorbed blazes power is not the shao Kahn Kitana killed. when the timeline reset shao kan never got to absorb blazes power

Dark Raiden definitely should’ve been a main villain if not THE main villain in MK11. Like half the arcade ladder endings in MKX set up that being the case.

No Raiden version will ever top richards old Raiden from the previous five games. Easily one of the best if not the best written character in the franchise. A wise god who wants to protect and does what he can to help and be good but is conflicted with tragic things happening and ends up being hated and misjudged, resulting in losing himself to the darkness. This whole story turned into shit the moment they decided to waste dark Raiden in mk11. If they had made him a major threat and follow the set up from mk9 and x, it would have been insane. Sadly they wasted him and the build up was a waste of time. After that, the story turned into shit. This is where the downfall of a great story starts. I watched the whole mk1 story and I will now buy mortal kombat games for the gameplay, not for the story. This multiverse shit is just bad. A full game dedicated to Dark Raiden turning into a menace to the realms would have been much better than this timeline/ multiverse bullshit.

the biggest letdown for me with mk11 was the fact they lead up to this raiden at the end of mkX, started us off on dark raiden, the entire first chunk of the game had dark raiden, then they just removed him for normal raiden, gave us a tiny tease of dark raiden before once again just saying "nah" and that was it

The one thing I don’t like about MK11 is that they made Dark Raiden look like he was gonna be main villain or just a regular villain serving the real evil and yet it went nowhere on top of that he wasn’t even a villain he was just much grumpier and had red lightning that’s it for the most part he was just regular Raiden

Dark Raiden was absolutely amazing for the brief period of time he got and I think NRS did waste him and they could've used him better in the story. All that hype for nothing. However, from a writing perspective, it does make sense as to why they got rid of him so quickly. He was OP espcially with Shinnok's amulet. He would've obliterated anyone and got to Kronika quickly. Normal Raiden is still a threat too but Kronika made sure to separate him and good Liu Kang for as long as possible. I still think they should have done it in a better way though and kept him for a bit longer. I really would've liked to see Dark Raiden kick Shao Kahn's ass and half the roster. Maybe even a 1v1 between both Raidens and Kronika erasing him whilst good Raiden is still left. Idk.

Anyone else hoping that dark Raiden would play more of a role in the mk11 story than he did? Like he played more of a part in the older games than he did now.
