Ridley Prime wrote: Johnny was always loved in general. Perhaps him getting his due now may have been a result of all the backlash of how much he got killed off in the original timeline and such, which was pretty garbage.

And agree to disagree on Liu being the best hero sentiments. Personally, I think where he is now is a testament to how washed up he became as a main protagonist, and they realized this so they took a different turn with him. Annoying as the dark brooding attitude can be at times, I like him more now compared to when he was that gary stu who canonly beat every baddie game after game.

edit: Oh, the false advertising (for lack of better word) with Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Kitana being humanized again rubbed me the wrong way too. Still kinda does, actually. I love how the aged Liu Kang looks too, so a shame that that's not canon. don't get me wrong. I Find the older versions of them are amazing. I mean just imagine them in human form older like they appear. but in their netherrealm armor lmao. A guy can dream. I'm fine with the look either way but netherrealm should've at least give some kind of story as to why they appear older humans.
