I feel like them being permanently Netherrealm characters is fine as long as there's enough balance to ensure that the "good guy" characters are just as good story-wise. Personally, I think MKX did the complete opposite and failed to do that. The villain side was strong enough for the narrative but the heroes, aside from perhaps Raiden, Sub-Zero and Takeda, were written pretty terribly.

Although, I really don't think Liu Kang and Kitana can hold their own as antagonists if that's what they're planning. I'm pretty sure it's not gonna happen but if so, that's pretty lame.
