Yeah, she would have been a worthwhile addition if they kept her redeeming qualities, but as a total villain, Noob and Sektor make her kinda redundant. Removing that glimmer of hope you mentioned really takes away a lot of what made Frost actually interesting, to me at least.

As for her powers, being a cryomancer is kinda tied to the character. The best you could do is simply have her and Sub-Zero apply their abilities in different ways, similar to Superman and Supergirl in Injustice 2.

Speaking of all these dynamics, does Sub-Zero feel kind of out of character to anyone else? I really dislike the way he just abandons all hope for Bi-Han and Frost. This is the same man who in the original timeline, wouldn't give up on his former friends no matter what, ESPECIALLY these two. Even in MKX, his dialogue towards Hanzo highly suggested that he saw Frost as merely misguided, not someone who needed to be banished from the Lin Kuei, and several of his intro dialogues in that game showed that he still cared to locate his brother.

Sub-Zero in MK11 just feels a lot less compassionate, and that kinda sucks for me.
