I know, this is a sad reality, I just wished the story of the game should also have the story of the comics together, then we would not avoid characters from MK4 (Reiko, Fujin, Jarek) and even Deception (Havik, Shujinko) while also adding the brand new characters and the DA characters (Bo' Rai Cho, Li Mei, Frost, Mavado, Hsu Hao).

I read somewhere it was going to be 40. I may very well be wrong though. It just pains me that a lot of characters are getting killed off. Well, Hsu Hao's death was no big deal because nobody likes him anyways, but still.... Mavado's dead, Moloch's dead, Mileena's dead, Baraka's dead, Quan Chi's dead (even though Quan Chi had it coming anyways), we don't know what happened to Cyrax and Jade, Sektor's dead, Reiko's dead, and Bo' Rai Co's fate is left ambiguous after being tortured by Shinnok and the revenants. It's even noticeable that they are killing off most characters from the 3D Era, which makes me angry. So many characters with so great potential, wasted by them stupidly deciding to kill them all. From the ones listed, only Mileena, Sektor and Baraka are from the 2D Era.

And the worse is that most aren't coming back, because this universe pretty much wants to kill everyone who isn't the same old and boring characters (aside fron Raiden, Sub-Zero and Scorpion (and maybe Kenshi) from the 2D Era, alongside new and uninspired new characters who aren't really better then the 3D Characters on the level of blandness (since "fan critics" like to tell those characters were bland). Yeah. And I'm surprised that characters like Sheeva have not been killed off yet. Reason I mention Sheeva is because she's not as popular as Goro and Kintaro. After MK3, she didn't return until Armageddon. Sadly, in MK9, not much was done to improve her storywise. She was just another butt monkey along with Baraka, Reptile, and Sektor, to name some.

The only character who needed a revamp and was given properly on MK9 was Stryker. People also says Nightwolf had a revamp but I never hated him so he was just better for me in a small way.
