Personally I hate the unmasked Sub-Zero look. Sub-Zero is my favorites character of all time (not just favorite MK or video game character, no favorite character in general). And the unmasked look is just terrible. As popular as MK3 was it was responsible for butchering my childhood hero.(plus no scorpion in original MK3, that was a mistake too.) It's my opinion that Sub-Zero was "Bad-Ass incarnate." I like the mysterious chinese assassin angle, the generic white renegade who left his clan not soo much. I never saw anything wrong with the pallette swapping when i was younger, Sub-Zero was awesome no need to change his character design at all, and since scorpion wasn't in the original MK3 the pallete swap complaint wouldn't have been very valid.
Anyway no need for unmasked Sub-Zero, hell why not take away kung lao's hat, baraka's teeth, or any other trait that make a character cool and recognisable away from them.
And i believe i remember reading that they added this to Sub-Zero's story just to justify his new MK3 look when people questioned the change in appearence from the MK2 ending.
Best explanation, no more words needed.
