The idea of ​​a human Raiden was interesting only at the beginning of MK1's story mode. But going forward, it's just backwards. He speaks very clearly, has no personality, and he should be the 'new protagonist', but he doesn't stand out in the main story mode or in the DLC.

My thoughts is both versions of Raiden.

God is better.

Human is good, but it feels like Liu Kang with a hat, literally, his attitude turned the same goody two shoes as Liu Kang.

I don't dislike the good and humble archetype, but it certainly felt like lazy writing.
