Well, moving on from the troll, I think the whole Baraka and Mileena dying thing has its pros and cons (A lot of Cons for the die hard fans but thats reasonable). this whole new generation thing is also apart of a larger, greater storyline. Mortal Kombat X was a very good game, but also just the beginning of a larger storyline and I commend the creators for experimenting with new characters  that have new and interesting gameplay mechanics at the expense of excluding certain characters (Even though Noob could have been great in this game). Maybe Ferra/Torr won't be included in the next game? Maybe Kotal Kahn will be the main villain in the next, or possibly the neutral in Dark Raiden's feud with Revenant Liu Kang and becomes Outworld's hope? The story at this point

We must also realise that MK is an extremely old and enduring franchise that has new audiences to entertain, as younger gamers who don't know MK's original storyline play MK.

Of course, I was bummed that Baraka and Mileena died. I felt they represented a very important aspect of MK's brutality, not to mention the whole 'evil monster vibe' that Outworld represents. But i know we haven't seen the last of Mileena, I have a feeling that she'll return as a revenant and develop 'an evil sister relationship' with Kitana, and they become a force to reckon with under Liu Kang's control. As for Baraka, if he goes, I won't be so sad about it, but if he stays, I'll be happy to see him.
