Do us and MK a favor and GET A DAMN LIFE, wash your hands of Mortal Kombat if you don't like it and quit bagging on MKX and just leave.
You have 9 F***ING GAMES that you can play if you wanna play as that vapid w***e Kitana or that f****t Smoke. Stay the f**k out of my Mortal Kombat.
NRS has proven that they can make new stars, we don't need THE ICONS anymore.
People like you who cannot accept change need to disappear fro the fandom, MK has to evolve to survive. Even if that means alienating pieces of sh** like you, then all the merrier.

MK is way too old and established to be doing that. Think about it, what if somewhere in the next 2-3 years a movie gets made, all the characters Boon & Co. just got rid of play an integral part in the movie's story, said movie is a smash and brings in more new fans while stoking the fires of nostalgia in others, then said fans buy the new game that just released only to find that those characters from the movie aren't there anymore.
How would WB and NRS handle the inevitable backlash? Tell them all to go f___ themselves, accept change or go to hell, like you all want them too?
May I remind you all that the Soul Caliber series is on it's death bed because of the exact things NRS is planning for MK right now? Most casual fans will not accept Cassie Cage over Sonya, they'll just see a cheap imitation, that's what happened with SC5.
It's happened with Street Fighter, It's happened with DOA, and it's happened with Tekken. What makes you all think that MK is immune?
Most of the people who bought MK9 were people who either, like me, came of age during the arcade era and played MK1-4 as soon as they released, read the comics, watched the cartoon, saw the movies, and became attached to the characters. (And they were well developed characters) or grew up hearing about the old MK games from their big brother and got their hands on the 3d era crap only to be let down by the Hsu Haos and Nitaras of the series.
And I have a gut feeling that MKX will be packed full of Hsu Haos and Nitaras. Ferra/Torr is an obvious Master Blaster rip-off and seems wildly out of place (like "What game am I in?" out of place) ,D'vorah seems more like a low-rent Dc comics character than an MK character, and Cassie Cage should change her name to Sonya Lite. The only new guy so far who doesn't seem out of place or generic right now is Kotal Kahn.

Excuse me sir, allow me to suggest you consult to a psychologist regarding your anger issues.

That's the most stupid comparison ever. How can you compare human beings and dating to MK?
So I am supposed to hate a certain type of food just by its appearance before I even taste it?? I can't even@your way of thinking.
There are plenty of characters that I am not a great fan of, although I love their storylines and fighting styles which helped me warm up to them. Also I love how Jade looks but I still don't like her as a character. You point? Please refrain from calling other people's comments stupid while posting stuff like that...you know what they say about people in glass houses.
It makes perfect sense that we can't judge a character when we know almost nothing about them. If you are that narrow minded to be all like "I hate how they look boohoo this game sucks" then do yourself a favor and just don't buy the freaggin game! I am not the one complaining about everything, I just have a different opinion so deal with it.

When it comes to movies, food or even dating. Your usually turned off by not what you try but what you see. So you just date anyone then is what your saying?

They already made a reboot of the first 3 games with the original cast, I'd say it was about time for some change. There are gonna be returning characters, it's not like 90% of the roster will be newbies. I was a bit disappointed myself when I realized many MK4-MKD characters won't return but I'm willing to give it a chance before I start bitching about how awful it is.

Because most people won't play as someone who looks fucking stupid to them is my point. I honestly can care less about most characters background or story. I only care about what they can do and how they look. If you look bland I won't even bother looking at you or selecting you.

That says a lot about you then if you're that shallow. Most fans of the MK series fall in love with the characters because of their rich backgrounds and stories, not how cool their picture looks on the character select screen. If that's your standard then MK is definitely not for you. Lots of carbon copy fighting games out there with sequels that barely differ from each other, so sticking to those would make the most sense for you it sounds like. Good luck.

Then I am sorry to say but you are the minority in this forum. Most people here care about the story and want the characters to have depth, originality and interesting storylines. If you only care about appearance go play DoA.

How would WB and NRS handle the inevitable backlash? Tell them all to go f___ themselves, accept change or go to hell, like you all want them too?
May I remind you all that the Soul Caliber series is on it's death bed because of the exact things NRS is planning for MK right now? Most casual fans will not accept Cassie Cage over Sonya, they'll just see a cheap imitation, that's what happened with SC5.
It's happened with Street Fighter, It's happened with DOA, and it's happened with Tekken. What makes you all think that MK is immune?

Street Fighter.
Having characters from Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike in Ultra/Super Street Fighter IV is proof enough that people accepted the new change in the SFIII series.
The thing about the game itself is that it consist of new characters that actually resembles past characters. So while the nostalgia is slightly there to the Vets, it also kept people open-minded of the new characters.
Which apparently lead to a good thing since characters like:
Dudley
Ibuki
Mokato
Elena
Yun
Yang
Hugo
where DEMANDED to be in the Street Fighter IV game from the fans. The idea of characters wasn't amazingly a cash grab from Capcom, people WANTED these characters in the game. Which mean people liked the change.
Tekken.
Their character alienation is nothing near the likes of MK9.
I've played Tekken 6 and it seems like the only character missing is Eddie Gordo in which we have Christie, while everyone else worth a damn seems to be there. And at the same time, the new characters were also welcomed with open arms.
As for Tekken Tag Tournament 2, I don't need to play that game to know that everyone in the Tekken history is in that game.
As for the movie. I wouldn't bother too much of a movie with guaranteed inaccurate character background history and/or story line just for the sake of making a buck. If people become a fan of the series because of a movie, then LOL at them, for reals. They need to pay attention to the source and only go from there.
