I went round my friends house and he showed me the opening movie where the good guys are fighting the bad in some dusty canyon. Kung Lao was having a scrap with Baraka and he got stabbed, Jax was fighting Quan Chi and he broke his leg but was alright.

I dont know I know some are supposed to be elder gods and all but I just dont get it.

Well Raiden and Shinnok are elder gods so obviously they can have a bit of immortality. Maybe when they enter that realm they get the ability to overcome those horrid things.

quote The 2nd Doctor

Yeah but isnt Earthrealm supposed to be the same as our world so it wouldnt make any difference.

So is Edenia thats in Earthrealm, jezz this is very confusing aint it.

Mainly I think its because its a game. But if you want a thought out answere, its probably from some spell they all know.

i agree but if gods are killed they come back but if the sacrifice themselves they stay dead yes this means raiden [sacrificed himself in mk deception]

right to explain broken legs dont really do much just hurt and make it unable to use and being stabbed he may of missed a vital area hence he was fine

i wonder if thiere will be a new mortal kombat and midway invents a charater who brings them back:D i would like that.

yeh also in the endings it some times ses they get killed and it still shows u them doin there victory celebration:confused:

or when they get stage fatalitied one round and are fine the next, one answer comes to mind, they cannot die!

simple, they have amazing regeneration and damage reduction. To anyone who plays DnD:

Fast Healing 100 and DR 100/-. DR=damage reduction. And it's easy for them to return to life. Contingent true resurrection.
