not sure if this is a hot take but. imo. Fire God Liu Kang kinda sucks and it's the worst direction NRS could've taken his character in tbh
#i would elaborate but im at work waiting for a playblast to render so all ill say is#it contradicts what he had going on since mk9 and I know his character was never very consistent#and you could argue he was even a lil bland#but even then there was Something but then they kinda killed it in Aftermath and man.#and now i feel like his mk1 self is the Embodiment of the 'he's just a good guy and nothing more' criticism#Bc it truly does feel like he left behind everything and everyone who made him a deeper n more interesting person#idk i just think that Liu. if he'd been well written. would've never accepted that offer of divinity#and seeing him as the fire god and even harnessing the hourglass' power leaves a sour taste in my mouth#and i don't see a good character i see someone who had so much potential#but ultimately became completely defined by the 'Good Guy Protagonist' trope rather than embracing the nuance he used to have#ooooh yeah he became a benevolent almighty god!!!!! a perfect ending for him!!!!! NO HE'S JUST A CARDBOARD CUTOUT NOW AAAA#Chat in The Hat#Liu Kang#hope i don't get crucified for this but man. I really really hate fire god liu kang
