It was a not-exactly-slow-motion way of showing aerial kombat. Just like how SPider-Man can stay beating opponents in the air continuously for long periods of time in Spider-Man 2.

And I do think it's canon. At least until I get some real counter-canon material that says it's not. I swear, if I find out that Kenshi really didn't die by Quan Chi stabbing him and Shang Tsung smashing his chest cavity in, I am gonna pluck out every one of Boon's eyebrow hairs one by one!


Impossible. Boon's eyebrows are made of the same material used in army-grade bulletproof vests. Some say it's indestructible. But honestly, they wouldn't allow you to play as a character if he or she died before the fights even started. I mean, just look at how many characters were knocked off of the pyramid and hit with Kahn's hammer. Even Kahn himself was carried away by Onaga, yet he's still playable.

Because those characters have spots in the story before the battle happens. Even though that's the "intro", it's also very close to the ending of the game. How would we fight Sheeva in Konquest mode if her getting killed in the intro meant that she was unplayable? And I take it that only one of the endings will be canon anyways, so those "What if" endings for those seemingly dead characters can be disregarded.

In Konquest, Sheeva along with Li Mei, Havik, and Kintaro, was just an illusion made by Shinnok to test Taven's fighting abilities...just saying whistling On another note, if the intro is canon, why does Blaze appear in front of everyone, instead of fighting Taven like in konquest? Armageddon *sigh* tired

First off, I don't believe Havik, Li Mei, Sheeva, and Kintaro being apparitions was true. I think he was specifically mentioning the demons that come out of the purple portals that you fight on the way up. Sheeva was stabbed by Shao Kahn in the back during the end of MK3's events and Kintaro was supposedly zapped to hell by Raiden in an unreleased Motaro bio. It would make sense if Shinnok revived them to work for him. The same exact role happened with Mileena in MK:Gold. Havik starts sh!t all of the time anyways. Li Mei? Well Shinnok DID release Onaga and Li Mei is becoming more loyal to him. So maybe she's working for Shinnok to help Onaga make sure he doesn't do any backstabbing.

Now Blaze facing everyone or whatever you said: I believe that the pyramid rose, he shouted at Taven on the cliff, and what we didn't see from the lack of detail in Konquest mode's animation was him still having power from the air circling around him. Taven even said in his ending that he had to fight his way to the very top, probably jumping off of the edge first in a Netherrealm cliff konquest-esqu type of way. As soon as the intro we see is over, Taven probably just started to climb to the top. I just hate to think that they put a non-canon intro video into a canon part of the video game saga.

The chances aren't the best possible for Li Mei, being clearly killed in the MKA intro, but I like the character so why not if her return is explained wisely.

I repeat, a simple impalement doesn't mean she is dead.

Yeah, I think people are forgetting that you could impale your opponent in MKDA and they wouldn't die right on the spot.

Well...that's true. But I don't see gameplay and the story the same way. Jax can shoot people with a machine gun in MK:DA, MK:A, and MK/DC as well, but I am not going to believe even GL or Flash in MK/DC or a lot of other MK characters could survive that for real. It just looks cool and provides damage that satisfies the players.
