Hey guys is it just me that gets annoyed that NRS can't stick with the characters they killed off without bringing them back later in the series with weak excuses? I mean I'm not just looking for a reason to complain I love MK but this has always bothered me, it removes from the tension, build up and makes the whole storyline seem weak. Like when they killed Liu Kang and bought him back as a....Zombie*facepalm* or for example when they 'killed off' Goro, Sheeva, Johnny Cage and Khan but they were back in a few games with ridicilous explanations. Another thing which is pretty bad is the whole resurrection thing, i know Shang Tsung is a powerful sorcerer and all but if he can bring back Mileena (I think this is in MK2 - MK3) from the dead then doesn't that mean if any evil minion get's killed it's not really a big deal?
What I'm trying to say is either don't kill characters off to bring them back or kill them off for good. I'm all for killing characters off, I think MK doesn't have enough of this as it's a brutal universe yet nearly everyone manages to survive. I love Scorpion and Reptile, I've always picked them since MK1 but if their deaths are needed for a good storyline I'm all for it. Otherwise it just feels like nothings changing, no development is made and in the end it's hard to bring in good newer characters/storylines.
Unlike MK4 IMO the problem of MK: DA and Deception wasn't that all the introduced new characters were awful, it's just the newer characters couldn't compete with the classics who are arguably more loved, developed and known. Therefore the new characters weren't really given a chance because everyone compared them to the older characters and just picked their favorites.
Anyone agree? If not post your thoughts, I'm all up for a debate but no flaming please guys this is my first thread.
