NRS is treating fans poorly these days anyway. Even the writer of Sindel’s retcon blatantly lied to a fan’s face. Saying they would explain why Sindel was completely rewritten, but they never gave an explanation. In the Kombat Kast they said that Sindel is a villain because she looks like one. Like.... that still pisses me off lowkey, especially since Sindel was supposed to be evil because of brainwashing and not because she was a villain from the start.
I think besides graphics MK11 is lacking. The story was good but also confusing, because in my opinion they didn’t follow up with Evil Empress Kitana and Evil Raiden, but started a time travel story out of nowhere that ends even more confusing.
I do agree with Sindel's retcon. That was extremely WTF?! on the writing department. It was worse than Jax's "WOKE" ending. Not only that, her dialogue is all over the place (can't tell if she's pure evil with sass or pissed off that Liu Kang will never EVER let her near the grandkids LOL!) Hell, her treatment with Kitana (and Jerrod) is worse, just because she viewed them "to not show any backbone or loyalty to Shao Kahn, the one who forced her to married him when he conquered Edenia?!" Her own family?! So damn selfish because the writers wanted her to think she gotten "good d***" from Shao Kahn I presumed.
I do agree the MK Storyline is confusing and a bit inconsistent at 11 (such as the sudden pairing of Jade and Kotal) but I enjoyed it better than 9 and 10. They definitely gave Liu justice for the BS after MK4. Despite how Shao Kahn was handled, Kitana getting the upper hand and killing him also brought closure to her arc because after all of the lies and BS he did to her (not her real father, but actual step-father, killing her real father, forcing her mother to commit suicide before the BS reasons from 9, conquered her realm, Mileena's existence via cloning with Tarkartan blood not actual real sister/sibling...). The only stuff I was pissed off was D'Vorah was everywhere in killing spree mode (she already killed off Mileena in 10 but then she killed off present time-restored Hanzo/Scorpion!)
