I don't know, my dude, I think Frost was always meant to ultimately be a villain. Even after she tried to take the Dragon Medallion from Kuai Liang in the original timeline, they were never on good terms again and she joined the Forces of Darkness in Armageddon just to get at Sub. Maybe they could have her reform in the future, whatever the future of the series may hold, but I personally don't see it happening. I'd have to disagree. You're forgetting that despite everything that happened, Sub-Zero never gave up on her in the original timeline. He forgave her for stealing the Dragon Medallion and sought to find a cure for her dementia before Taven broke her out. I think the fact that he continued to care heavily indicated that there would've been a redemption in her future. Unfortunately, the original timeline ended before that could happen. Frost was arrogant sure, but she was never intrinsically a villain. MK11 chose to take the lazy route and just turn her evil. It removed any of the complexity that was present before in favor of her just being an edgelord monster who murdered her own mother at the age of twelve.

There are other routes that could've been taken, and I don't think either version of her story is perfect. But that doesn't mean that the character lacks potential.
