And agree to disagree on Liu being the best hero sentiments. Personally, I think where he is now is a testament to how washed up he became as a main protagonist, and they realized this so they took a different turn with him. Annoying as the dark brooding attitude can be at times, I like him more now compared to when he was that gary stu who canonly beat every baddie game after game.

edit: Oh, the false advertising (for lack of better word) with Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Kitana being humanized again rubbed me the wrong way too. Still kinda does, actually. I love how the aged Liu Kang looks too, so a shame that that's not canon. I agree with the evil Liu Kang thought. I knew they were going to make him evil. I was just hoping they kept him alive to do so but I still like it.

And yes, humanizing the Shaolin twins and their love interest was very underhanded. I just don't see the reasoning behind it other than seeing what they would look like if they had lived.
