I love that Johnny and Sonya got married and had a kid, it confirmed my long held belief that they loved each other, which isn't really confirmed anywhere else other than the movie canon, and they are there entirely own universe. I'm glad they love each other in the game universe. And I liked how Cassie had both the skills of her mother and father, and she has a killer-unique moveset. The rest of the kiddies... I just don't like the whole passing of the torch thing. I've spent twenty-plus years with Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Sonya, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, etc, so I'm really invested in all of them, so to introduce characters that will supposedly replace them at some point is disconcerting. If it was like Star Trek: The Next Generation, a whole new group of unique characters as opposed to the offspring of the original characters (a trope I'm not fond of across the board,) I might feel different about those guys. They feel uninspired and I can't really care if they live or die, not that I didn't give them a chance. I don't HATE them by any means, they just evoke no emotion in me to want to invest in them is all. Well, they can't abandon all the original characters (MK1-MKT) forever, except maybe Motaro for obvious reasons.
