But she's not perfectly beautiful. She has teeth where teeth shouldn't be.
Look at D'Vorah, she's insectoid, but she's still not ugly. She actually has a pretty attractive face.
Look at Goro, he's a monster, but he still has the lantern jaw and the high cheekbones we associate with male good looks. He's "ugly," but he's not repulsive.
It's a fine line between making a character look bad in a good way, and bad in a bad way. I respect that you think they might have gone too far. I personally prefer this design. If a new MK film gets made and Mileena has her old face, it would be impossible to take her seriously/get a good actress for the role. This is a good middle ground.
Yah, I get all your points and the movie thing makes sense. It's just that... I don't know, when I think of games, especially one like MK, I don't quite understand why certain beauty standards should be followed. Like when people rage because Kitana doesn't look like a Disney princess or something. In all honesty I thought MK9's Mileena was horrible - but that's exactly what I believe I would think if she was real. She's a disaster made by human hands, and that's what you get when you play God. The idea of that thing going after you to kill you with sais is exactly what appeals to me in terms of character, what I was expecting. Now I look at Mileena and I think "oh hell, I would get her to bed all the same".
