that " u can expect any icon from 80's and 90's to show up " makes Rambo more close to reality than john weak...
I get that Boon is passionate about bringing to MK all those characters whom many MK characters are references of - Predator, Terminator, Robocop …
My question is … when does it get way too much? I mean, we have four guests right now. And if there are 8-10 more characters coming, this may mean 3-5 more guests … bringing it to a total of 7-9 guest characters. That's just whack.
And like many folks have said, the best names are already in the game. Heck, we even have some WTF? names in terms of relevance, like Leatherface.
Since Boon made it clear that guests of MK11 is all about 80s-90s icons (that can fit with the MK theme), Myers is out (thank God).
So what 80s-90s icons are we talking about that can fit the MK theme?
Ellen Ripley? Other than having a machine gun, I don't see her being a combatant unless they put her hybrid clone persona from Resurrection (who had super strength).
Pinhead? He's a horror icon and that doesn't seem to be the theme in MK11 (Terminator started as horror but he's clearly an action movie icon from T2 and after)
Shredder from the Turtles show? Yes, please.
Rambo? It fits, especially if they want to pull an Arnold vs Stallone theme.
Lady Death? Totally irrelevant today, but that didn't stop them with Robocop, and she was a female badass back then.
Deathstroke? Wouldn't mind, but I'd hardly call him an 80s-90s icon.
John Wick? Not an 80s-90s icon, as far as I know.
Skeletor? My wet dream, but I don't see Mattel approving this. However, there is a Netflix limited series which will be a sequel to the 80s cartoon and a movie supposedly coming out in 2021, so … who knows?
Venom/Wolverine/Deadpool from marvel comics? That would be insane. Definitely 90s icons, are extra edgy, violent and have kickass one-liners. If only WB and Marvel (Disney) could somehow make this work … it would be I-N-S-AAAA-N-E.
