Thoughts on MK1 girlies:

Sindel - she's such a mom. I don't even mean it in a disparaging way. Moreso that watching her interact with Mileena was like watching my own mom and big sister fight. She is stressed™. I mean, her husband(and apparently love of her life, since she seems torn to shreds over him) was murdered,with seemingly no rhyme or reason as to why. Then Mileena goes and catches Tarkat. Now she's got people in her own court trying to threaten not just her rule,but her daughter's rule as well. Sis is going through It™. But outside of that, I enjoyed her.

Mileena - my insufferable girl rep. I just know she used to terrorize both of her parents growing up. Borderlines on bratty as hell at times(rather that than the weird childlike behaviour they had her going for in prior games). Also this game proves how love-starved Mileena was in prior timelines, because look at how she blossomed in a healthy home environment with people that love her. Don't love how she treated Li Mei, but like.......she thinks that Li Mei's getting away with murder,literally. I would be spicy too if the person that appears to be responsible for my father's death is just waltzing the streets with seemingly no consequences.

Kitana - best girl™. Literal sweetheart. Low-key spoiled as hell, but sweet despite it. And she's very clearly a daddy's girl(her little reunion with Ermac/Jerrod was very cute). Would have been really nice if she actually had something to do.

Nitara - This is one case where I think she was better in her OG game. That's one thing MK:DA did pretty well. Give Nitara something to do, I beg. Also, OG Nitara would have never agreed to work with Quan Chi. She would have sat down, plotted and planned and gotten shit done on her own. Let her be a self-serving bitch in peace.

Ashrah - surprisingly quite fun. I really enjoy her and she seems to be having a good time,which we love to see.

Tanya - give this woman something to do, part 3. Her and Mileena were cute. Wish we got more than just meaningful looks™, but we ball.

Li Mei - deserves so much more. Where is this woman's apology? Half of the female cast,plus the Umgadi needs to apologize for how they treated her. I mean the groveling kind of apology, not just a quick sorry either. That's Kitana and Mileena's pseudo-auntie that y'all did like that.

Yeah I mostly agree with this.

While I hate how Sindel treated Li Mei (and let's be honest, Mileena and Kitana were just following her example), I did love seeing her yank on Shao's leash. I think everything she did to help Mileena is actually fine and her story overall was fine... except for the ending. Lame. Also the love story between her and Jerrod is kinda boring. I don't know why the game is investing in romances involving dead NPCs instead of ones that have chemistry and history.

Li Mei and Ashrah are long time favorites, so I'm thrilled to see them shining. But Ashrah has some messed up perspectives that I want them to explore more (killing your own kind to purify yourself? Sis???). I get a heavy self loathing vibe that I want them to lean into. Li Mei deserves several thousand apologies, girl literally did nothing wrong and if she had heel turned I would've supported her. She's literally best girl, my beloved wife. Ashrah and Syzoth are random but kinda cute, I won't lie. AshRep and Mileenya > Jerrod/Sindel and Kuai/Harumi

I sorta disagree with you about Kitana. In real life, I would probably like Kitana fine but as a character in a story, she doesn't do it for me. She's just kinda boring, in my opinion. The scene of her stroking Mileena's face was so sweet though, one of my fave moments. I do like her new dynamic with Mileena.

Mileena's story needs more detail. I have no idea why people were supposedly supporting Kitana over her??? I get that Mileena had a lot going on between the Tarkat and the forbidden romance with Tanya, but they said that and then like. never followed up with details about why people didn't support Mileena pre-Tarkat. She confirmed has the support of the Empress, the Constabulary and Umgadi, and there's nothing to indicate that she didn't have Shao or Rain's support prior to Shang Tsung showing up (and they wouldn't have supported Kitana anyway)... so like??? Who was against her???

100% agree about Tanya. Also Liu Kang bragging that 'his Tanya' was much improved was really weird.

Nitara definitely has potential, they just did nothing with her. She brings up a great point that just bc her people need blood to survive does not mean they deserve to be exterminated. She's just kinda there bc Quan Chi needed lackeys.

I can't wait for Sareena to show up, her interactions with Ashrah, Nitara and everyone from Earthrealm are gonna be so good.

I read somewhere DLC is going to be nineteen characters in total released over a few years. who do you wanna see?

I just want to say, I honestly think 11 tried to get fan favourites in there. More so than we think. And I hope the DLC is based off of fan popularity, rather than general critic reviews. Because in the end, it’s DLC and it will make up for the glaring issues of 11. Onto the list. So excluding the six that have already been announced, that leaves us with a potential 13? My maths is bad and it’s early. But yeah 13 characters, I’ll do ten since I know at least 3 will be none-kombat related characters. Without further ado and in no particular order;

1. Hotaru- It should come as no surprise, I think I’ve mentioned him a lot before. I love his design, concept and I honestly think he deserves to be DLC. I honestly thought we’d have seen him in 11, since Kronika is all about restoring order, and Hotaru is all about that. But, missed opportunities. It’s like the writers of the last season of GOT were in charge of 11. But yeah, it would be cool to see more of Orderrealm and Chaosrealm. 2. Ermac- I don’t care if there is an ex-machina, I don’t care if they sloppily do it. They could have Erron accidentally smash the bottle, releasing Ermac and re-gifting them back to us. Ermac has been a staple main of mine for a while. They were one of the first characters I learnt to play effectively as. I love the whole concept, design and play-style of them. 3. Smoke- Smoke and Sub were ride or die, and they’ve taken that away, and it still makes me salty as fuck. I just want Smoke’s reaction to coming back, seeing Sub and Scorp having a tea-party, and him being slightly insulted. It’s fine, he’ll throw is own tea-party, with books and the good tea! I do love Smoke though, he’s actually a sweetie and I want to write for him more to be fair. But yeah, I loved playing as Smoke and I think it’s time he returns. Once more, I don’t give a shit about the ex-machina bullshit to bring him back. Just bring him back. Okay? And make him have some salty dialogue with Hanzo. 4. Sareena- I love Sareena. Don’t know if you guys knew? And it gets to me a little that we’ve had gear named after her (Honestly think she’s dead at this point since tower endings aren’t canon) and she appeared to be cucked by a knock-off Kabal in his tower ending. I always feel she’s been this added character, and I really hope that if she was a DLC character, it would allow her to develop and become her own entitity. Rather than she’s the one we all ship with Bi-Han, and the one that just rocked the fuck up in Kabal’s ending, which confused us all. She deserves to be her own character and I miss her. 5. Nitara- I just want to see the banter between her, Skarlet and Erron. Erron is just sat there sweating nervously. All his ex’s just rocking up. I prefer Nitara to Skarlet. Her design was always aesthetically cooler and she’s a goff. So bonus points there. I wasn’t great as playing as her (If I remember rightly) but still, strong character that deserves more. Just like Sareena. She has things named after her and Erron mentions hers. But that’s about it. 6. Fujin- Another character that has been done dirty. What is their problem with him!? Fujin is a cinnamon bun and deserve screen/play time ! Not just to be referenced now and again. I did hear a rumour that he is meant to be in the next DLC pack. So fingers crossed. I loved playing as him, and I just want some banter between him and the rest of the White Lotus gang. He’d have been so proud of Lao and Kang. 7. Rain- He’s arrogant, smug and a pain in the arse. And he technially is in game, I think it’s him fighting on a bridge within the Krypt. But I liked Rain, he was that character that was up his own arse, but you kinda liked to play as him. Because of that. I think he should be DLC, just for the banter. If he doesn’t get a skin called ‘Purple Rain’ we riot as well. 8. Sheeva- Another character I read was hinted at being in the second DLC pack. I honestly hope she is. Sheeva was always great to play as, and I am living for her design in 11. She is a fucking queen and deserves a place on the roster. I always preferred playing her over Goro, She’s a classic and deserves a spot on the roster In my opinion. Remember, all this is just my opinion. 9. Reptile- Still Salty he’s not actually in the game. Because to me, he’s a core character, and one that I loved to play as. But we cannot have everything in life. And I am happy to have taken a loss on Reptile to get Kabal back! But yeah, if there really is going to be nineteen characters, I want Reptile in there. 10. Mileena- This was a tossup between Kenshi and Mileena. And Mileena won. I know she’s dead, but Kronika literally turned back time. So where was she? I want her as DLC because I feel like she should have killed D’vorah in game. Not going to lie. I won’t get into spoilers for the main story here. Just in case. They missed out on having her, and it’s really irritated me to no end. So yeah, we want Mileena. She’s a classic and it would mean we have a lot of orignal and core characters in there.
