Interesting points about Cage's ending, the reverents and Sub-Zeros age. My answer for Sub-Zeros age is that being a Cryomancer, he ages slower, and him looking older in DA was an out of universe art choice.

As for retired characters, I still believe that change is needed for a franchise to survive, because if you keep fan favorites, you run the risk of being stuck in status quo and you're work can never evolve. I had a thread once that asked the question if there was an MK game with NONE of the Pre-X characters with the exception of Scorpion and Sub-Zero, would you still play and at least try enjoying it?
