So to complete things and bring things full circle, we're gonna get Frank Dux from Bloodsport soon, right?

And get John McClane in there to make it an even half-dozen of action men.

I kind of wonder what on earth they were going for with the preorder skins for the DLC. Feel like they'd be better off just doing more Klassic skins or something.

Jax: It's over Johnny....It's Over!
Rambo: Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war! You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I Did What I Had to Do to win, but somebody wouldn't let us win! And I come back to the world, and I see all those maggots at the portal, protesting me, spitting; calling me shokan killer and all kinds of vile crap! Who are they to protest me, huh?! Who are they, unless they've been me, and been there, and know what the hell they're yelling about!
Jax: It was a bad time for everyone, Rambo. It's all in the past now!
Ramvo: FOR YOU! For me, civilian life is nothing! In the field we had a code of honor: you watch my back, I watch yours. Back here there's nothing!
Jax: You're the last of an elite group. Don't end it like this.
Rambo: Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank. I could do juggle into an EX Special Attack. I was in charge of million-dollar equipment. Back here I can't even hold a job PARKING CARS!

So Rambo's ending is for sure going to drop a Demolition Man reference, right?

Kinda sad I missed the deal on MK 11 aftermath. I want to get back to playing but not $40 worth of interested.

Maybe the MKX Mouth is a mutation of her biology after being alive for a few decades, and this Mileena is either from the Past or a new clone.

I don't know if they have any sort of extra expansions for the story to explain Mileena and Rain's inclusion, but I think we're supposed to assume this is past Mileena. Rain is fine as (I think?) he survived MKX, but hopefully there's something given for Mileena.
And of course, Rambo will be here just because. I don't mind them not giving anything for guests as they're not really tied to anything, but a guy with a gun who isn't a cyborg nor a weird "wasn't in the previous game but literally is in this one" cowboy being involved in all this could do with a backstory. Hell, even Stryker in MK9 was recruited by Raiden, for some reason.

Yeah, I'd assume this is just past Mileena, though I do think it's a pretty big wasted opportunity not following up on that Mileena hive mind ending from MKX. That could be really cool if done right... though granted they'd probably just make her more disposable mooks there to pad out pointless gun fight scenes.

Followed closely by Sindel's "I was always bad!" bullshit and Noob Saibot having Dr. Claw's voice. Actually, I think it's better to ask who MK 11 did well for, honestly.

I do think 11 is the first time Jax has been anything remotely resembling interesting. Also Shang Tsung in Aftermath is pretty amazing.

Kotal Khan and his fall into jobbing is remarkable as well.

Kotal Khan and his fall into jobbing is remarkable as well. Honestly Kotal Kahn was already kind of a useless idiot in X with his, "I recognize D'Vorah's been manipulating me into fighting you buuuuut I want to be on Shinnok's good side so I'm going to keep doing that," plan, but yeah, in 11 he just plummets in terms of how much respect he's treated with. In particular him being beheaded offscreen in Aftermath is genuinely hilarious. Honestly I feel like every character loses about 50 IQ points whenever D'Vorah's around. I like her in isolation but she has that same problem Quan Chi had for a long time to where she just has to come out on top in every situation and always be working some bigger plan with no one ever really getting a meaningful leg up on her.
