And let's be honest, in the original games, due to game limitations and story limitations with the exception of fatalities, most characters were bland. You just don't want to admit it because of nostalgia. The characters have evolved a lot.

And I have found from first hand experience myself that people jump on bandwagon's and mindlessly follow whatever someone says just so they can fit it and look cool. I'm glad you're helping me out by saying you like Hsu Hao and Drahmin, but not every character was bland. Scorpion was this kickass ninja demon, Sonya... well, she was pretty bad, I never liked her. Jax had robot arms, Nitara was a vampire, Reptile was a lizard ninja thing... Everyone had their own quirks aside from the reskins like Jarek and Kira. Not everyone was just a cardboard cutout, and I'm not saying this just out of nostalgia. I've never seen a guy with robot arms in any other fighting game, and I've never seen anything close to Reptile in any other fighting game either. Not trying to be rude, but I'm just trying to point out that your point doesn't apply to everyone.

I don't think Armageddon will happen again because Armageddon was just a clusterfuck. All these characters inexplicably brought back from the dead and all these dumbass plot points to 'revive' these characters really seemed half-assed at the time, and I'd rather not have another one of those. Besides, most everyone that isn't important is dead as established by the comics. Cyrax, Kintaro, Havik, they're all memorable villains but now they're dead. So there wouldn't be much of a good vs. evil fight if there's only ten people fighting for evil and thirty fighting for good.

Onaga is a good point since he hasn't been touched yet, but the One Being is pretty far off grounds since he's basically... well, he's the One Being. No one is powerful enough to destroy him yet, because Blaze hasn't been introduced yet and he might not even stick around too long with the way the series looks.

This is just my opinion.
