I have to disagree. A lot.

Frost's story isn't about corrupting the Lin Kuei, it's about she herself becoming corrupted. However, in the original timeline, this was consistently presented as something she could come back from. Sub-Zero in that timeline never gave up on her, even forgiving her for her original betrayal. She was never an outright villain then. She likely would've recieved her due redemption if the old timeline wasn't cut short.

That's in high contrast to MK11 where they've stripped away any complexity in her situation and even the compassion Sub-Zero maintained towards her in favor of merely turning her into a simple villain. Her arrogance is supposed to be a part of her charater, a flaw that with time and help, can be overcome. It should not be her entire character, like it is in MK11.
