"if the designs of Hsu Hao and Drahmin were bad, then why were they even used?" are you actually being serious right now? did you expect them to know the designs would be taken horribly?

"The plots and character motivations of the first games were excuse plots. No real story, just excuses." LOL how would you know? you never even played them. they were all simple, good stories. they had character. again, something you just can't seem to understand. slapping a name and half-assed motivation to an ugly guy isn't a character.

"Discarding a character is not a mark of good stortytelling, it's a mark of being lazy." yeah this is pretty much a dead-on indicator you don't know what you're talking about. when a character is universally hated, you DON'T fucking force them in. it's too late by that point. why the hell do you think George Lucas gave Jar-Jar almost no screentime in the last two Star Wars prequel movies?

"The sooner NRS learns this the better. But for now they seem more interested in pleasing nostalgic fans when they refuse to realize the fandom is going to change." are you trying to be a armchair game developer now? what do you know about what's in NRS' best interest? and if anything, they're fucking phasing out any shred of nostalgia. do you even know what MKX is, what the focus of it was? they LITERALLY SAID they're taking focus on brand new characters and will continue to do so. the likelihood of adding more non-story-relevant 3D era chars was low enough, but now it's pretty much non-existent.

"I never played any of the arcade games nor did I play any 3D games. I ws introduced to MK via MK vs DC. As a result I never hated any MK character." so you don't know what you're talking about?

"Eventually new people will come into NRS without any distaste for a character." yeah, no. this is probably the most ignorant thing in your post. name one position at NRS that you honestly think would change anything, because I can tell you right now that Ed Boon is going nowhere, and Ed Boon sure as hell won't let any of the shit you want fly. again, the characters are objectively bad and, AGAIN, they're factually hated by the majority, including NRS.

in conclusion, you'll probably think I'm attacking you but meh, whatever. this argument was over the second it started, you just don't know enough and whatever points you try to make are always based on ignorance and assumption. there's nothing more to argue, so it's probably best to cut it short. like I said, not much else to say when you want to refute facts.

You know, you're an incredibly rude and ignorant child trapped in an adult's body who cannot see from any perspective outside their own. I'm as much an MK fan as anyone else. Hell I consider myself a very pure fan as their is so far no character who ticked me off. You cannot judge someone by how they approach the franchise. I've read about every character, played 9 and X, read the comics, seen gameplay fotage of the other games. You may have experience kid, but it's biased and immature. The majority may hate them, but the majority is not always right(Hell from my own experience they are rarely right as they tend to be bandwagon jumpers). And since you refuse to at least ponder on my words and choose to instead respond with rude insults, then you are what is called ignorant. I came to this post to express an alternative viewpoint for two MK characters, and you responded with rudness and immaturity.
