No but seriously, a big part of why I don't like him is the fact that his story is lame as shit.
The only time that premise ever worked IMO was God of War, and that's mostly because of other factors in the story making it not unbearable.
Scorpion only has one thing and they refuse to give him much more. They'll throw him a little bone but he seems to never get any big pieces of the action. I'm a firm believer that MK characters all have potential out the ass and just need a moment to shine. Hopefully he gets his this time around.
Sub-Zero though, based off of his intro dialogue is going to be all up in the mix this time around, and the way he talks to Raiden and the others not only denotes how much of an ice cold badass he is, but also shows that he's on the new Outworld Hierarchy's raider as well as the Earthrealm warriors'.
I'm hoping they treat him like "the guy", that trope of the legend that everyone knowns and possibly looks up to, and even fears to a degree. Like Superman appearing in front of a lesser known heroes to help them. It's like "Oh shit, it's him", instead of just another guy fighting for Earthrealm.
This sub is obviously neutral, though probably helping Earthrealm because he kind of lives there, so it would be an awesome twist if he's making a grab for power as well, trying to not only stop Kotal(assuming he is a big bad in some form) but overthrow him and rule Outworld himself.
I think a race for power in general would be fucking awesome story-wise, as there are so many possible characters to go for it. Quan, Daegon, Kano, Goro(with Kintaro, Sheeva and probably the rest of the Shokan), Shang Tsung, Havik, Hotaru, Mileena(who would be the rightful queen seeing as how she's the only one in Shao's family left alive), hell even Scorpion.
That'd be a badass reason to start a Mortal Kombat tournament across the realms, to decide who will rule Outworld.
...Man that post took a turn.
I think the reaction was in character, but the way he conveyed it wasn't.
Bi-Han doesn't afraid of anything, so that worried look on his face kind of upset me.
That whole situation was pretty dumb if you ask me. I forgive a lot of Raiden's blunders because he couldn't really help it given the context and what he had, but the one he really did fuck up was taking scorpion to the side and telling him not to kill Bi-Han instead of just taking them both to the side and have them talk it out, canonically they can't even fuck with Raiden power wise so they would have to actually squash their beef for the time being.
I think that's less of a character fault and more of a choice by the writers because they wanted Noob to still happen.
