I have a problem with how the comic presented the timeline, regarding the kids' ages that I think needs to be addressed. The comic synopsis states it's supposed to take place 15 years after the events of MK9 right? Also Johnny and Sonya are presumed to be married one year after MK9 right? So if 15 years passed, Cassie would be 15 years old, but the problem is that she and Jacqui look a little older around 17 or 18 in the comics. Also, allowing a pair of 15-year old girls into an illegal death battle tournament? One has to be stupid to let that fly, but they looked older than that so they passed easily. However that would push back Johnny and Sonya's marriage back a few years back into the MK9 timeline which is NOT possible, considering they never HAD a relationship in the MK9 timeline (or they never bothered to present it).
Also I'm sure that both girls in the MKX story mode look like they're in their early 20's. I really don't get this "teenager adventure" rumor crap surrounding the new characters. They seem to be old enough not to rely on their parents for any help.
What are your takes on it?
You can't judge characters ages in comics or video games by their appearances. They're not real people, and don't have realistic appearances.
Like many teenage comic characters, Jacqui and Cassie have 'adult' bodies (large breasts etc) because that's how female comic characters are drawn. And you said it yourself, it's an ILLEGAL death match. You really think they'd have any qualms about involving fifteen year olds? THAT"S when their morals step in?
In the game they're around 25 according to the timeline.
It all fits perfectly fine. Sonya just got pregnant shortly after MK9.
(Side note, does anyone want to see pregnant Sonya? Iunno why, but that'd be fun to see. Especially with Johnny Cage banter)
