Beyond devasted that they nerfed Scar’s design. The bodysuit and zipper were so iconic, gave personality even

You telling me he now just steps into pants like a regular person? Nah no way

UGH I know I need to quit harping on Bi-Han's characterization in MK1. Because there is some stuff that's very, very good. It's frustrating as hell, but very realistic human behavior. People are inconsistent and fickle and project shit and act out at the worst moments. In that respect he's quite well written.

He's also not wrong to feel disgruntled about how the Lin Kuei take a backseat to Liu Kang's "champions". I've been to that place professionally, where I was never considered good enough for the top position at work, yet was constantly expected to train the people who were. It's a lingering disrespect that breaks a person down.

Again, some organic and realistic development and explanation for Bi-Han's choices down the line.

But... there is also some really contrived storytelling when it comes to him. At least as much of his behavior is on the nose, and leading. Several of his intro lines show him to be discriminatory toward Baraka and Syzoth. And it just feels like the whole point of that is to drive home that he's a bad guy.

Same with the reveal about his father's death. Like? Was that really peak confession time, my man? Telling Kuai Liang he was a fool was plenty, it was in context. But being like, "PS: I let Pops die" is so forced. I mean, I know it's important info but it was just served so tactlessly.

If you have to sell it that hard, maybe there's something wrong with the arc you have in mind for a particular character.

Or maybe I'm just salty that one of the sexiest men in the whole game is about to be turned into a Monster Energy can cosplay. (No offense if you're excited about Noob, personally, I'm not) I'd be all in for a hot revenant, though, like MKX gave us with Kuai Liang before he was restored.

FUCKING

ERNESTO!

ER-FUCKING-NESTO FOULWORTH

LIKE BRO

FELLOW HONEST FITS A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER CAUSE HE'S PAINTING HIMSELF AS A "HONEST FELLOW"

BUT WITH FOULWORTH, IT'S JUST OUT THERE LOUD AND PROUD!

I'm not calling him that. Fellow is staying Fellow, jesus christ.

But, I will say, Gino for Gidel is actually cute and I don't struggle to say it.

Well Rollo, I'm very glad your name didn't change from JPN to ENG.

Fellow, I am so fucking sorry my guy.

Ernesto is one of his fake names, prove me wrong.

[raccoon-coded]

Why are so many of the Rocket plushies so scuffed looking? Absolutely cursed 😂 They did him so dirty.

The last one isn't bad but it does look like a Lilo and Stitch side character. (He's such a lil gremlin. You can tell he's an absolute menace to society.)

That MK9 inspired Smoke skin is an atrocity. They had an opportunity to make it look awesome but they gave him weird helmet hair. There are several characters with long hair and great hair physics, why did they have to do him so dirty?

Might as well have given him a mullet and made the embarrassment complete. Man, do like they shafting Tomas. 😭
