Man.. I'd be perfectly fine if Drahmin's club switched sides if it meant I could play with him again in a next generation MK game. Pssh I wouldn't be bothered one bit. Bring on the awkward club switching. Seriously. He's my favorite character to come out of the 3D era. That's me though :lol:
Predator's wristblades constantly switched arms when they are known to only have one wristblade and one computer gauntlet. Didn't bother me at all because Predator was otherwise flawless. I doubt most people even noticed that. They even combined the Predator 1 shoulder canon with the Predator 2 rotating mechanical arm so that it would switch shoulders. Totally fine with me, NRS.
Freddy having two gloves was a little weird until I understood why. Obviously, it wasn't what it said in his biography.. that he constructed a second one for the tournament. That's cool enough for me to accept it. I still mained Freddy for a while.
Moving forward I could easily see Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Liu Kang, Kitana, Kung Lao and maybe Mileena coming back, as those 7 are the ones that people voiced the most about having back.
Killing off Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao in MK9 ensured that they don't age in MKX.
Sub-Zero didn't seem to age much, just grow a beard, and Cryomancers age slower than most.
Kitana is 10,000 years old, so she'll never age, either.
Raiden is a god.
Hanzo didn't age much either after he was turned back human, just grew a bear like Kuai.
Mileena is dead, so she'll probably end up in the NetherRealm, on team Liu-tana, along with Kung Lao.
Jax, Kano, Reptile, Ermac, Johnny, Sonya? Questionable, at best, imo.
Sure some of them are an improvement over their MK9 counterparts, but the fanbase just isn't as big on them as with the rest of the MK1 - MK3 roster, and the ones with kids don't have to be playable in the next game, so that they can carry the torch.
Kenshi is Boon's 2nd favorite, so I have no doubt that he'll be back for the next game.
As for the new characters, sadly people don't care for Ferra / Torr, and I could see NRS taking them out for MK11.
The same goes for Jacqui, sadly.
I figured Kuai Liang either aged a bit or maybe we're just getting a better look at who he is under the hood and mask. But as you said, dudes a Cryomancer.
Scorpion could of had a beard all along before his death by Bi Han but we'd never know because we were only use to seeing his demon skull face. But then, he's a spectre.. or is he considered human now? Not sure. Either way he has hell fire powers still. That can easily have an effect on his aging when we're talking fiction. As long as there's a good explanation, I'm satisfied. Loop holes, fiction or not, bother me in games/moves/comics.
(As a side note, it really bothers me that he's not the "Scorpion" anymore. Its cool that they awknowledge who he was as a human alot lately but he's always Scorpion to me. They shouldn't strip him of that
completely.)
With Mileena, she could return as a tortured soul within the Netherrealm.
When they do bring her back, I wouldn't mind seeing that clone thing (her MKX ending) come in to play just to switch things up. The revenant club would get tiring after a while but definitely not out of the question, for sure.
That's what bothers me about the Family Kombat roster fiasco. What if people decide they want Jax back, over Jacqui? (<-example only->) If NRS feel the need to keep Jacqui, and people bark for Jax back, we'll end up with both. No one wants a game full of mostly family members killing each other. All the villians will be sitting back laughing at these idiots :laugh:
But seriously, I want Kenshi back, as he hopefully will be, but then his son will most likely be tacted on too because of his popularity amongst the new kids. If we keep getting stuck with that, its going to be a mess of family members on the roster and maybe only a handful of characters that are not related to someone on the roster. I don't know about anyone else but I don't want it to come to that or have that effect the roster. Messy.
