When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yes sir, the check is in the mail."

Most characters need to expand, but there's only a few whom I care to actually see expand.

Sindel - She is so distinct, yet she has such a standard story. I think they need to give her a more individual, unique conflict to deal with. Being mere queen and mother is so boring.

Also, like Li Mei was evil for a moment and now she carries bits of that evil nature within her. How come Sindel doesn't carry any evil residue from when she was Kahn's wicked bride? Shouldn't there be some similar inner struggle that she has to deal with? I mean, her appearance which is dark and gothic completely contradicts her personality which is spiritual and emotional. It would totally fit in having her carry evil inside since her appearance already looks like she would.

Jade - She needs the same thing. A more unique, personal goal. There's no goal more boring than "stop the bad guys." Yes, that's what all the heroes ultimate want for the most part, but HOW it's done and approached can make a world of difference. Her rivalry thing with Tanya could have really been something special and individualistic for her, but it was done in such a lame linear way. What a waste.

She's cool, but has a boring story. There needs to be lots and lots of evolution for this one cuz she's going nowhere as of now. We already know that she's like the #1 patriot of Edenia. There should be a story that shows what extent she would go to to protect Edenia. You know how Raiden went extreme with protecting Earth in MKD? Well Jade should do something like that, and maybe what she does is something controversial like kill someone special and so she "gets in trouble," leading to another story arc, etc. I just wanna see how patriotic she really is, hoping she is to an insane degree where she'd commit crazy or immoral things or something shocking like that. Lets put her pride to the test.

Sonya - Ugh, her story has always been "stop the bad guys" in a straightforward way which is just boring. Like Jade, the two above, she needs something more individualistic cuz her story is as generic as it can get. How about she leaves the Special Forces for a change? I am so bored with that already. She's obviously the female icon of MK, so why can't they give her something bigger and better to do than hunt down thugs?


Idea for Sonya (damn this thread is sparking all sorts of ideas in Jack Burton's brain): Take her down the path Sub-Zero took in MK3, the whole renegade concept. Have something happen that would put her out of favor with the Special Forces, or have a situation where she feels they are becoming corrupted in some way...a situation where she'd be on the run from them...I think that would be interesting.

NOTE to the powers that be: If this falls under the spamming rule, I apologize. I did my best to make some coherent point with each post. I promise I'll hold off on posting here for awhile...

Sonya already got a Lin Kuei ally (Cyrax) and a foe (Sektor), now she should copy Sub-Zero's story? Stop mixing chocolate with crap. The bitch must stay as far as possible from him.


Calm down, calm down...it was just an idea.
