I was thinking the opposite. Its the older players of the series who hate on Scorpion. Not the young players.
I started with MK1. Scorpion was never my #1, but he was one of my favorites. I think the character is absolute trash now.
Ed boon has been jerking scorpion off expecting everyone to guzzle that shit up. Its the older fans who get pissed off at all the nonsense, and blatant favoritism. He has become MK's little whore.
I was thinking he would be more of an interesting character after seeing hanzo back. Nope! still a complete douche bag.
