And so was Jesus!
The designs for some of the men are questionable this time around. I know Raiden is human in this timeline but he looks so generic, it's scary.
Johnny Cage's face is actually really uncanny and fucking ugly. I think it's one of the worst faces so far.
The men are worse than before, just like the girls. The ratio this time is between mediocre & fugly.
> Kenshi, Raiden, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, literally have the Chinaman Pedestrian NPC face. It's almost like NRS is trying to make an unspoken statement of sorts a certain group of people looking all the same. It's even worse for Liu Kang, forget being Ludi Lin handsome, he's supposed to be the MC of the game, FFS, give him a heroic visage at the very least.
> Smoke's glorious hair is changed with a faggy one, combined with an on-the-nose gas mask that conflicts with the outfit. Rain is beyond generic, he looks like a background grunt. Ermac is worse than generic, it's a downright downgrade compared to MKX alone, let alone MK11.
> Johnny Cage looks so bland & generic you can't believe this is supposed to be a Hollywood Super-Duper-Megastar. He looks someone's normal uncle & so average that he might as well be an NPC.
>Kano is essentially ruined. Where's the Aussie Gigachad cunt everyone loves?
Also, IDK if it's just me, but everyone looks slimmer for some reason compared to just MK11 alone. It's like NRS took the MK11 comparisons between the male characters all being huge & shirtless, while women were more plain to heart & in borderline burkhas, & just decided MK12 would have men & women be plain? Look at Johnny, dude was huge in MK11, & even more swole in MKX, now looks like a normal uncle in MK1. Not just him either, Liu Kang slimmed down considerably. Erron Black already looked a bit twinky in 11 compared to MKX, but here, everyone looks slimmer, that's on top of looking boring. How the fuck do you make Erron Black of all characters, boring of all things?
I'm not even talking about the girls, these are just guys. I'll go full MATI talking about the girls post MKX. I'll be shocked if that Bayonetta leak came true & they tried to censor her of all girls.
Holy shit, Netherrealm is so woke they made Tanya a negress. Keep it coming Netherrealm, I want to see how woke can you go.
It's not even a hot black girl either, I'm not expecting Ellie The Empress (I do wish for it tho), but is it too much to ask for a non-sheboon nigger-tranny in a Western game? I can't tell what's more racist, the "progressive" race-swapping instead of making new characters (they did it with Jacqui), or the race-swapping & purposely making it ugly ape.
It's not impossible as proven by Japan pulling it off flawlessly all the time in Tekken, Street Fighter, King of Fighters, & fuck ton of anime & manga.
