Some evil characters may have to align with good for a common goal. Some good characters may have their own version of what's good but their intentions might be wrong. That final sentence you posted... That's interesting to me, because for the most part, I feel like any "evil" character in any sort of media is performing said evil actions for a purpose. So it isn't like it'd be a new thing happening if MK11 did it, right? I mean, very few villains do evil shit JUST to be evil. They almost always have a motive that benefits either themselves or characters they care about or both. So in their mind, they're always doing "good". I believe a better way to say it would be that villainous characters are simply immoral, based on the standards we have in place as humans. Being immoral isn't necessarily an evil trait, is it? Because although there is a somewhat standard basis of what is moral and immoral, there are several real world things that blur the lines for some people, but not others. If someone murdered my sister right in front of me, I'd try as best I could to murder them. Many people find that to be immoral, but to me, it is completely moral AND justified. Just a thought...
