TANYA & MILEENA in MORTAL KOMBAT 1
Bonus Day of Kombatmas: Timelines
Mileena meeting Meat who I Headcannon as a failed prototype of her
Titan/Fire God Liu Kang is a thematically fitting next step in his character arc and design wise he looks the best he ever has, but at the same time I can’t spend more than 5 minutes thinking of Titan Liu Kang without getting overwhelmingly depressed.
“So witches are a thing here. Who knew?” Raiden tried to say, getting a very dirty look from Kenshi.
“We're in a world where demons, gods, and magic exist, and no one thought witches existed?” the Japanese asked, the tone of someone who was so done with everyone's shit.
Kung Lao admitted, “If you put it that way…”
“The fact is that witches are a rarity. Haven't seen one in over a hundred years,” Smoke explained to the others. “Who knew my brother and Cage would meet one on a mission?”
“Actually, who thought it was a good idea to send your brother with Cage?” Raiden asked, probably saying the first smart thing of the day.
“To be honest, Cage wasn't supposed to go. The mission was mine. Just…today wasn't a good day to spend too much time with Bi-Han, if you know what I mean.”
READ MORE SEVEN AGAIN
Long-haired Smoke 💨 .
Wanted to do a quick practice with traditional ink and he's been living in my head rent free.
I saw your Smoke post and wanted to add to it. I was one of those 'Comments under every Ed Boon MK11 Tweet begging for Smoke to come back' kind of fangirl so it's not like I just kind of liked Smoke and am complaining now. I was always a ride or die for Smoke's character and he was my main in MK9. However I am not a fan of MK12 Smoke. He's cute and he's not the worse redone character, but they've made him such a door mat personality wise. At some point I even started questioning why he was even Kuai Liang's friend or loyal to Liu Kang in this timeline. Kuai Liang just sat by and let Bi Han disrespect Smoke right in front of and said nothing meanwhile Smoke was a ride or die when Kuai Liang needed him and it made me so mad. Not to even mention the intro where Liu Kang lowkey admits to causing Tomas's family to die. I honestly expected Tomas to betray them and at this point I kind of want him too, for no other reason then at least it will show he has a spine. Tomas has more of a reason to betray Kuai Liang and Liu Kang then Bi Han does and if he ever does I won't even be mad about it. The writers just expect us to except their friendship cause they were friends in the last timeline without bothering to build on the friendship in the new timeline. I'm sorry for dropping an essay in your inbox but this gets me so heated.
Wow
THIS IS SO TRUE!
I couldn't agree more!
He got some great previous versions, previous timelines that actually built respect on his name, but in mk1 2023 he was reduced to Kuai's sidekick.
In MK9 I could without any doubt understand that he was there for his own reasons and for his own protection (since Bi-Han belonged to his crew and the Grandmaster had gone nuts). Even on Legends they did a better work...
On the story mode I could kinda see the man I grew up with... But his endind and most of his dialogues was very disappointing. He was truly wasted.
All they gave to us about his absolute loyalty to Liu Kang and Kuai Liang was the excuse of "father said so", "father would want that", "to honor father" and so on.
Kuai Liang didn't care at all about him until he needed his help. I also don't see where Kuai saying to him that "Bi-Han owed u respect" or "we are brothers" after loses Bi-Han, shows otherwise.
His personality and goals now are basically "be a good boy" thing and that's it. What is cute, but beneath him.
I wish your premonitions could be brought to life, but they made him such a needy sappy character that I wouldn't be surprised if they even let him die for some petty reason...
I don't like the projections/assumptions of him being pitiful or even a helpless person, but I can understand some of them (recently, I realized where they're coming from...)
He deserved much better!
What he got in mk1 was almost disrespectful.
