Sonia looked like a fitness instructer in MK1, so a redesign was in order. Too bad they fucked that up. WTF is with the "thong sticking out of pants" look? Save that shit for strippers , not special op commandoes on covert missions. Did they get horny 13 year old boys to do the character designs?

Have you already seen the designs for the females in MK this generation?!
It's probably all horny teenagers.
Man, if anything that's them being conservative....yeah, that bikini style bottom for Mileena in Deception sure didn't allow all that pesky clothing to get in the way. LOL

Why does Sonya look like a man? Sheesh.
Kano looks good.

Eh, MK1 had really cheap looking garbs anyway. The ones in MK the movie were pretty sweet renditions, shame about Annilation, even the costumes looked cheap.

The first one was more the along the lines of being indifferent, but was considered more ruthless and the younger brother was clearly more merciful and good.
He was a ruthless assassin and killed Scorpion(who was asking for mercy). So as a murderer I guess he'd be evil by human standards. But when he accidently helped Shinnok get his amulet back he did go into the Neatherrealm and stop him from taking over the world. When talking to Raiden he asked if he was evil and if his soul was tainted. Raiden said yes, but he had the potential to do good and change. He never got the chance though, since he would die in the shaolin tournament and become Noob Saibot.
The brother is an assassin, but is more merciful. When Kahn invaded he was a chosen warrior for Earth and has been part of team Raiden since.
Had the older brother survived he probably would have helped the good guys. In MK the lines between good and evil are kind of blurred since it's a battle for the entire world. Like with Jarek, who is a criminal but helped Sonya & Jax when the world was at stake. Unlike Kano, who is so evil he betrayed his own planet.

Sub-zero 1 diffinately sounds like a villain type.
Indeed. The story is the only good thing about MKM. Most of what we know about Sub 1 is from MKM. He went from being just a straight villain to kind of an anti-hero in that. MKM does a really good job of setting up MK4 and Shinnok as the new villain.
Special Forces on the other hand is just plain awful.

Concept art for Kintaro. Good to know he's in since the MK team doesn't seem to like him much and he hasn't made a real appearance since II. Hopefully they'll go deeper into his story. Despite being a boss he's one of the least developed characters in the entire series. He has almost no backstory, no ties to anyone else and no real relevance. You could remove him from MK II and the story wouldn't change a bit. He serves no other purpose than to be a token henchmen for Kahn. It'd also be nice to find out what happened to him in II. His fate is one of the bigger mysteries since he just disapeared after II.
I always liked him. He seemed a lot stronger than Goro and the tiger strips were cool. I liked how the crowd would cheer whenever he knocked you down. He just seemed more interesting than Goro, who I've never been a big fan of. Yet Goro keeps returning and Kintaro is just gone. I like Motaro too. Too bad he's dead.

There's been two mentions of Kintaro since II. In Thresholds ultimate guide to MK CD-Rom it says Raiden vaporized him in the second tournament. Makes sense, but the source is questionable at best. Then in Deception's Konquest there's an Outworld soldier chilling out in Edenia that says Kintaro is leading the latest invasion there, which would mean he survived MK II. Konquest mode isn't a good source either though. So basically there's two dubious sources that contradict each other.
IMO he probably just got fired or demoted after losing in II. Usually if someone is just not mentioned it means they're not dead, just hanging out somewhere doing nothing until they're ready to put them back in a game. Since Kahn lost faith in the shokans and promoted the centuars in MK3 Kintaro would be out of a job.
Sadly we really don't know who won MK II. You'd think that would be a pretty important story detail but they've always been really vague about it. MK3 just says Liu Kang has foiled Kahn's plans in the past and escaped from Outworld but it never specifically says he won. Many theorize that nobody won MK II, that Kahn simply called it off near the end and chased the good guys off. I don't really buy that though, because some time had to pass between II and 3 and Liu & Kung Lao were shocked when Kahn invaded Earth. You'd think if Kahn had just ran everyone off they'd be expecting him to return.
If anyone won it'd be Liu. I'd like to think thats what happened, but that's just because the whole "the tourney never ended" thing sounds lame to me.

I am honestly loving every single minute of this constant talk regarding the MK backstory. Its making me interested in the series again.
And I sorta like the expression on Sonya's face. Not how it looks but the expression.

Anyanka,
If someone was to win the second tournament I figured it would've been Liu as well. But I totally agree, the tourney never ended excuse sounds horrible.
Even having no proof to confirm it, I just feel that Kintaro died during or as a result of things happening during the tournament. But if there really is no confirmation I guess they can bring him back with whatever backstory they want. That said, my memory of Deception's Konquest is funny at best, so I don't remember him being mentioned. :/
