I completely agree with you. I think it would be considerably more interesting if Reiko was indeed fighting for and with Mileena. Firstly because, well, if anybody in MK desperately needs some friends and partners, it's Mileena; and secondly, because it makes for more engaging villains, like you said.
It's so predictable and one-dimensional to have wholly self-serving villains who just can't wait to screw over or kill anyone standing beside them. This isn't Highlander; in order to be powerful and successful, villain or not, characters generally need or should pragmatically seek help. The best type of villains stand for something, an ideal that just happens to not be a very popular or moral one, and they will fight for that ideal by seeking like-minded individuals in order to complete their goals and overcome opposition. That's where true, frightening villainy is born: the spreading of an immoral ideal like a virus, destroying/cleansing the norm as it grows. That's a lot more daunting and intriguing than "BAHA I'M SO BAD, I CAN'T WAIT TO STAB SOMEONE TODAY!"
I hope we're all proven wrong and Reiko indeed takes a liking to Mileena
Unfortunately, it's been stated by the dev team (I think when they're explaining the intro of Kotal Vs D'Vorah) that she has a hand in his downfall; that she betrays him at some point. As usual, Sonya was right from the start lol
If she was Mr. Blade, she'd be perceptive and heroic, but because she's Miss Blade, she's an angry bitch

Wouldn't it be nice to have villains who didn't betray each other like mad? Like the Brady Bunch, but villainous?
Just me? ..

Dammit, it looks like villains not betraying each other in the MKverse will remain a pipe dream. Oh well, at least the creators aren't making Kotal a one-dimensional villain.

Wow, this chapter sounds great!
Johnny Cage is Raiden's "Champion"? Fucking awesome. Here's hoping he becomes the Goku of the MK universe. Funny, goofy, sometimes idiotic but incredibly badass and powerful. I would love if the Seido thing came true and he was the one to defeat Shinnok.
Erron Black FTW.
Kano v Sub-Zero sounds cool.
I love how they explain why Kano gets a new eye, that just makes happy. Hopefully we'll find out why he got a heart implant.
Mavado is holding a death flag right now.
Reptile is Minister of Spies, don't know if that's cool or just silly.
