I'm not drunk, and I still read it as Quan chi.
My god these girls are serving face for SURE, simply gorgeous. Also kinda crazy that they share a face model cause NRS managed to make them quite distinct.
Which is weird, considering Shang Tsung looks almost exactly like Bi-han and I think that's not intentional.
yep, Mileena on this picture is quite amazing gorgeous .... such a beauty , that is a hideous sin the fact she gets tarkat disease , in order to follow the lore, and having the monstrous features .....
No. People jumped to that conclusion when Noah was confirmed to be Kenshi despite Kitana's face model looking nothing like Gemma. I think Gemma may have done motion capture work for Kitana & Mileena's fighting animations, but don't quote me on that.
It’s funny that a Japanese company makes most of their characters in SF look American or white, and an American company makes most of their characters in MK look Asian.
A lot of them always have been.
I guess the true question would be why a character named Kitana was white? Funny that this question was never asked but somehow now that they're properly portrayed it gets so important lol when you consider Mileena's position as her relative (former clone actually), she also inherits that characteristic, and Sindel being her mother also inherits that for obvious reasons since Jerrod is not the most asian name you'll find out there. Applies to all other asian named characters that were, for some "unknown" reason, portrayed as white before, not a big brain thing at all.
Well, to be fair, Kitana isn't a real name so she's definitely not "Asian-named". Also, they're not Asian OR white, they're Edenian so it really doesn't matter what race their face model is. Additionally, up until MK11 and including the movies, they either cast her as a Latina or modeled her like one and they definitely had the technology to do otherwise (you could argue MK9 and MKX Kitana since those face models don't even look human).
I really do not like people insinuating people are racist for questioning why characters have changed races, so...
As I said about Mileena, she was a clone and now is a relative of Kitana, and that's why she inherits all of that, so I guess now you're pretending not to read what I wrote and the tone in which the question was asked in the first place? I'm not implying they are being actively racist, I'm just saying it's funny that a question like that never pops up in general when it's actually a weird situation, but when the characters start matching their (intended?) non-white origin, it starts popping up.
I think the fact they're Edenians in the first place is always an ok assessment, but what that means in my head is: what humans would perceive as race in Earthrealm would not translate to Edenia, but that wouldn't mean they're still being portrayed by characteristics inherited from the humans in Earthrealm. Not sure about the Kitana name not being closely related to an asian descent, so I'll refrain from commenting on this so I don't look like a fool lol
This is not really accurate. If it was, they were testing the waters in MK2, UMK3, MKT, MKDA, MKU, MKA, MK vs DCU, MK9, MK10 which is not really the case. The fact is MK11 was where the change happened.
You were not aggressive at all (you would never be!
) - it is more me quoting the latest comment.
Oh, alright then, I just felt like I was giving too much attitude through my choice of words while I read my comments again, even in the one replying to you I was still switching moods, so I apologize lolYou were not aggressive at all (you would never be!
I understand what you were saying - it was not really directed at you. It was directed at those who insinuate that people who question why characters have changed their ethnicity are against diversity and / or are racist. I do not believe this is necessarily the case.
