Rain Jokes On Twitter

Well, that opens up an interesting question.

To Rain fans:

If Rain isn't playable in MKX at all, would you rather he was:

1. In the storymode, got some presence, some dialogue, some scenes of him kicking people's asses, and then died
or
2. Not in the storymode whatsoever, not even a mention

"Gets to kick ass and then survives but is unplayable" is not an option. Sorry. :)

You have a point of course, but "Gets to kick ass and then survives but is unplayable" should be an option. I'm not going to speak on behalf of Rain fans, but it would certainly feel better than him being completely AWOL during the entire story, and it would be just as bad to have be awesome and then get killed. But that's just my two cents.

I'll go with #1. I just want him to have some role within the lore, you know?
 
I'm extremely excited for Rain to be in this game, with a new design, inspired by my favorite outfit of his, and will clearly play some role in the overall story. Yes, I would LOVE for him to be a playable fighter, but seeing as I thought he was burnt to a crisp in the comic and would likely have no role in the game, I'm happy.

This gives Rain a chance to gain some fans and have a role in a future game.

Sonya Bland was misguided and rude. She (He) represents Rain fans like she represents her entire species -- not well.

*he. Sonya Bland is a guy.
 
When a character has fans as obnoxious as Rain's, it's perfectly fine to dislike him because of it :proud:

Anyway, I'm sort of wondering (foolishly, as it's probably what Boon wants) if a lot of the characters that are getting picked on by Ed on twitter are going to appear in the game in some form? (Tremor is one that comes to mind). I would love if the game is full of NPC that are involved in the story, rather than completely ignoring them and giving them a story later in the series to make up for it (Cyrax being trapped, etc.)
 
Bland was annoying but he had some really good points

Well, yes and no. To me that person seemed like an upset attention whore. You don't like something? Fine. It's your right and feel free to express it. But beeching about the same thing in every single post and calling people names? Something's probably wrong with you.

I too would welcome a bit more variety in the roster, but at the same time I think NRS know what they are doing and the characters we are getting are there for a reason. Of course I'd like 3D era characters to be playable, but if I'd knew they had zero contribution to the story and were in just for the sake of it... I'd pass.
 
The more we talk about him, the more attention we give him.
I'd rather we didn't give him the satisfaction and actually got back on topic.

With that logic, that would mean I'd have to hate Jacqui then. I don't though.

He clearly doesn't mean you HAVE to hate them because of that reason.

He's saying that reason is an ok reason. Which I agree. If the nature inside of you feels that way no point in trying to force yourself into respecting something you don't.

One of the reasons I liked Bat-girl being in was all the Bat-Girl hate. It's just the inverse of this mentality.

The Joker gave Batgirl what she rightfully deserved.

I actually think Rain is a decent character. Water user, lightning, ninja, it all works.
I just don't want to be associated with his fans.

I'll go with option one. I don't think being a fan of a character requires that you cover your eyes and ears and go 'LALALALA' if it turns out they eventually die in the story. Besides, in my own head at least, Rain is a self-serving, opportunistic narcissist. He's meant to be disliked, at least for his personality. So although he's a water-bending demi-god and the only playable male Edenian, ultimately he's just a cruel, misguided fool who will eventually get his just deserts. So in the end he's a tragic character, having wasted his noble (even divine) heritage on his pointless pursuit of power.
