The same reason that a GOW character was in it along with horror movie characters Except Kratos and those characters made sense because they're in media what shares a similar level of brutality what MK has, SOM/SOW doesn't, and even then they don't own the character Celebrimbor (who's the reason Talion still even breathes) so getting the rights to use the character again, a bit hard given how Tolkien's not exactly lenient with rights. Agreed. LOTR is not exactly famous for its over the top blood and gore. LOTR isn't, but SOM and SOW are. Except it's really not over the top, anyone who's played the games would know that. The most "over the top" is dismemberment (and the potential return scars, but even then they're rather tame) and that was only in SOW, in SOM you could only decapitate Uruks and it's not like it's just gushing pools of blood. It's not MK levels of violence with you being able to gut Uruks and watch them trying to put them back in. Gore is gore. What does it matter if it's over the top or not? Anything gory should at least have a chance of having a guest spot in an MK game. Yeah, no. GTA Vice City you could shoot off limbs, does that give Tommy the chance to be in the game?
