In the Mortal Kombat Universe, one of the things fans gravitate toward most is the evolution of the storytelling. Now, thanks to games such as the MK1 reboot, it's the lore is much richer and more expansive. The world doesn't just focus on Shang Tsung's tournament or Shao Kahn using Outworld to invade Earthrealm. Other dimensions, such as the Netherrealm, are given more time, which helps to offer new directions for movies such as the Mortal Kombat Legends series.
