Ok, Shujinko didn't cut it, Liu Kang is dead. Taven however is alive, has a PERSONALITY, and he still has a purpose. Although my answer is obvious, Do you all think he should return as the hero?

I'd rather he didn't honestly.

While I do think he had a likable personality and decent backstory, I have no interest whatsoever in seeing him continue as a major character. I don't want him as the "main hero." I don't want him as the central Edenian protagonist. I've no interest in his future prospects. I also wasn't big on playing as him either.

I've no use for Taven.

Turn on your light and they'll see you. Make a sound and they'll hear you. If you think it's scary being lost...

Just wait till you're found

Taven should return, but not as the hero. Maybe as a supporting character.

I found Taven rather boring, so no. Nice approach for the Roman/ Greek look but Taven came out to be bad. Daegon is better, but I wouldn't want him to be in MK8 either.

taven, to me, was horribly boring. nothing about him really stands out for any reason. I consider him to be nothing more than a bi-product of a bad story idea(which would be armageddon's story as a whole).

just my opinion.

No.

Shujinko had more personality anyway. I like that we got to grow up with him in MKD. Taven and Daegon were the ones that were more "forced" on us in my opinion.

I'd rather play with Pai Mei than Ben Affleck in MK anyway.

If he does return, he should Just be A Normal Character. Hes already had his own game.

No, I hated the whole "Some woman saw that warriors participating in Mortal Kombat would become too powerful so the God of Edenia decided that Mortal Kombat would become a test for two demi god brothers" storyline of Armageddon.

I mean I really hated it. Taven was an argumentative, nigh on un-likeable arsehole and Daegon was just so dang evil for no real reason.

So, your parents sealed you away and used you and put you in direct competition with your brother, so you went berserk, killed your parents and formed the Red Dragon. BOO HOO DAEGON. Oh Noes!

i don't like taven much,so it's pretty indifferent to me.
however i hope he should not return at all,neither as main hero or support character
I kinda liked the guy. Maybe he shouldn't be the main hero, but at least give him something useful to do in the story.

Well I think ben Affleck was a good choice and he could pretty well be a decent sideliner. Afterall, someone has to manage stuff right now, and usually protagonists are not fitting into that role, unless it is a bussiness movie.

Should Taven return?

NOT even as a background character element.

Why do people hate him so much? I think he's badarse TBH. Sure he ain't no MAIN character in the respects to better characters. But he certainly isn't a JOKE character neither. His brother and Him on a mission. At one time allies, then turned foes due to pre-mature birth. Imo, thats a decent story. If at all Canon.

I have been the biggest TAVEN fan since the start. People told me, you havn't played as him, how will you know if you like him. I believe in what i know, and i wasn't the least bit disappointed. He look's like me, and his weapon has my REAL name. I love his character. Taven should last at least be in another game, if shujinko was in MKA. Granted again, MKA was a ender. At least Shujinko was in 2 Games to his credit.

P.S. Taven is a damn fine Dresser. grin

I do feel the same way. Shujinko is a lot of things but at least has some charisma and willingness to be a decent good guy.


Taven is just an asshole wannabe hero.

shujinko had alot of stuff going for him. they could make a good char out of him yet.

taven.......die....sry man.

if taven were to come back, id think it would have been years since mka and he is older unable to fight, more of a plot driver like guru or jami from dbz

Sektor & Cyrax shouldn't return either. Cyborgs are to 90's. Plus there's only one true Predator. And much better looking might i add. wink

No to Taven. He was essential to the plot and therefor was required to play with him, if I had a choice I doubt I would have played as him voluntarily.
