Is This Projection? - Tumblr Posts

I’ve been thinking of Kung Lao, not just MK1 but generally as a whole, and how he’s always pushed aside—number two. In some ways nothing is ever really his. Liu Kang, his best friend, becomes a god and goes onto to make a different timeline and stay there, and before that he got to be Earthrealm’s champion(in mk11 Liu Kang seemed like everything anyone EVER talked about with him). And of course it’s beyond that too: his name isn’t even his(“descendant of the great Kung Lao”), and his destiny and goals seemed to be based a lot on something predetermined for him, it’s a bit tragic.

goddddd kung lao if only you weren’t constantly compared to people
your own family for God’s sake
first your great ancestor then your best friend
you wouldn’t need that faux persona
it’s soooo upsetting how despite all the bragging it’s obvious he doesn’t see himself as skilled as he should be compared to the rest
is this projection?
