Guess we'll just have to see which direction they take his character. If they give him dimension, I'll be the first to hop on the Jarekwagon.
I almost lost my lunch.
Disgusting.
But what I want to know is if this Shang Tsung guy's so great, how come he's got such a crummy looking boat?
You think we'll even see Jarek again? Will they retcon his origins just like Kano? HMMM
Kano wanted his friend back.
He wanted him and Kabal to rule the Black Dragon.
He even gave Kabal his old Hookswords.
AND, he offered to kill a Lin Kuei, in a tick, NO CHARGE!
I used to strongly dislike Jarek, but now I kind of like him. His primary appeal to me is that he's a tool. I'll try my best to explain it.
Jarek is clearly such a jackass, so undeserving of beating characters better than him, that it's actually amusing to see him win. Take his MKA ending, for instance, and all the fatalities he blatantly steals. Like I said, a tool. Almost no imagination whatsoever.
That's how I feel he should be portrayed in the future. As a largely idiotic low life, who at times can show some intelligence.
Now that I think about it, Kano's alternate is pretty similar to Jarek's costume in MK4.
A throwback maybe?
I personally think it would be hilarious if Kano had a secret Jarek skin.
Ok, bear with me, but why does everyone hate this guy?
