A lot of people view the new charectors in MKD is "filler" as well as the Order and Chaos realms. Isnt it possible that they arent fillers, but just new things that seam filler because they arent as developed as the other guys?

I really hated the ideas of Order and Chaos realms. I would have loved it if:

Dairou is a mercenary who has a mysterious benefactor (havik)...

Darrius is a member of the Red Dragon who's aspiring to take over both the Red Dragon and Black Dragon clans...

Havik is an insane high Priest of Shinnok...

Hotaru was a Ronin from an unknown realm who sought to de-thrown Shao Kahn...

Kobra was named "Kabra" (makes me want to say "kadabra"), And was a Red Dragon traitor instead of a wannabe Karate Kid...

That's just me though.

Too many of MKD's newcomers were, imo, just fillers. It's not just that they were underdeveloped, but a couple of them were completely unnecessary, adding nothing worthwhile to the story or the game. I would actually like to see the Orderrealm/Chaosrealm developed further, and being more involved with the main storyline, I like both Hotaru and Darrius, and think that, done correctly, could add more to the series. Darrius himself may have been a rush job (they said he was the last character made), but I like the idea behind him, a revolutionary, and think more can be done with it.

But was there really any need for Kobra and Dairou? What real purpose do these two losers serve? Where can they go from here, Kobra seems to only be there as an easy guy to kill off (like Hsu Hao in MKDA), and there is nothing to suggest Dairou achives anything worthwhile, so will probably die or drift away. But to be fair, it's not only new MKD characters who are fillers, Nightwolf and Tanya are guilty of this as well, both having proven to be pointless comebacks

Some were filler, others were new, from what I can tell.

Kobra was a filler character for the reborn Black Dragon storyline. He existed to be killed by Kira. I didn't like Dairou very much, but I wouldn't call him filler, I just think poor choices were made in his design. I personally quite like the Order and Chaos realm concepts, personally, although I think they should slowly build up until the currently open storylines are more closed up.
