Except that it's not.
If she was evil she would never have had a crisis of conscience in the first place. Kronika's plan is against her Lawful Good beliefs, but she's been duped into believing Kronika's plan will eventually help the realms by not having Raiden fucking up history. She loves life, which is why she is hesitant to hurt the Briggs (and why she spares them afterwards). She isn't 100% sold on Kronika's insane plan (which is why she doesn't fight Liu at full strength). Like a dutiful daughter, she looks up to her mother and (reluctantly) places her faith in her creator. She considers Shinnok a necessary evil in order for life to have a reason to prosper.
Every character who isn't a Saturday morning cartoon villain is capable of having a crisis of conscience, it's just a matter of finding the right button to push. So if your definition of evil is "completely irredeemable Spawn of Satan who laughs gleefully as s/he peels the flesh off of innocents' bones" then yes, I agree, Cetrion is not evil. She has simply done a loooooooooot of evil things. Interesting distinction, mostly semantic on an MK forum.
I said what I said. They’re trash period.
I'd take out Kabal and Geras and add Skarlet.
Scarlet is a crack fiend for blood magik and it allegedly causes madness.
Very kinky girl lol
You seem to have amassed quite a backlog. Care to tell me some of those looooooooooooooooot of evil things? Taking stuff out of your butt excluded.
The lycanthrope dream is dead. Now I'm wondering how they'll make his moveset aesthetically interesting. Tons of characters have glowy weapons and Sub is using axes.
yeah i think cetrion is evil too, but it's like a self righteous, holier-than-thou type evil, which i think makes her interesting. Reminds me of the Law faction from the shin megami games. Her arcade ending points in that direction too. It's an interesting dynamic, sort of the opposite of what Sindel used to be (someone that looks evil, but was good all along).
Well, Kronika said to Raiden that they've had that conversation already hundreds or thousands of times, right? So she's wiped out time and started from scratch, hundreds or thousands of times? And Cetrion has been on board with her plan this entire time?
That's up for debate. Personally, I consider the wiping of time and starting from scratch = a clean slate. You can't condemn an action which was erased from history, imo. But that cannot be proven or disproven. And if we accept that Raiden and Liu Kang fighting each other over and over is due to Kronika pulling the strings, then we can assume the same goes for Cetrion. We have no way of knowing how much her mind is influenced by Kronika's power.
