I think most MK fan's enjoy the fact that Mileena is a psychotic evil bitch. It really sets her apart from most female warriors in fighting games. It’s somewhat doubtfull that Mileena will ever get any salvation. I think her hatred is rooted to deeply within her for Mileena to ever recover from her childhood. Not only that but I don’t think the fans of the series would accept Mileena as a “goodâ€? character. Personally with a good reason I think it would be fun to see Mileena switch from evil to good. I’d like her to maintain hated for Kitana tho…can’t have a complete turn to the light side heh.

P.S. I enjoy reading these threads. It’s nice to see an analysis of a characters personality as well as the direction there storyline has taken throughout the series. Keep it up…

I also think it'd be cool to see Mileena turn good. I don't mean a sudden 180 out of nowhere, but something gradual over a few games. Although I could see some fans not liking Mileena change, I think if it was done right it would be cool.
And I agree, even if Mileena were to turn sort of good, I don't think she'd ever let go of her hatred for Kitana.

Mileena's personality and hatred are what make her who she is. i think if she was to turn good it would ruin her entire character, itd make her just another Kitana with sai's. Try and picture a non evil Mileena, i cant. And plus you cant have a good guy with a face like that, just dosent happen. Edit: I also really enjoy these threads, keep up the good work.

Amazing like always.

It disappoints me to see so little recognition to your threads man. Its obvious you put a lot of effort into this, and they always end up being very deep and well analyzed.

I hope the mods come and check this thread soon along with the others.

Don't worry. as soon as I have the time to go other these, they shall receive the rewards they deserve.

Thats great to know T. BTw, please check your Pms. If you dont have any new ones from me, then the site is definitely messed up.

No pms from you, Q.

Thanks for the Pm XiahouDun84.

Something I've been thinking about.

The purpose of Mileena's creation was to be more loyal to Shao Kahn than Kitana. Maybe, it isn't so much wants/doesn't want to turn against Kahn...maybe she can't. Mileena was created to be loyal...sort of like she was programmed like a robot. Maybe she just can't turn against Shao Kahn?
As we see in Deception, Mileena is apparently trying to gain her own power. Assuming her ending happens, Mileena has finally accepted she is a clone and she was meant to take Kitana's place and is trying to take control of Kitana's armies. Only after Shao Kahn is dead does this happen.

Now Shao Kahn is apparantly coming back. What's Mileena going to do?

Mileena must never turn good.

Her whole story of complete hate, deception, clone, and resentful psychotic madness is what makes her the best of the 2 sisters, and the best of the 3 female ninjas IMO.

Mileena is IMO one of the most original characters with huge potential in the story. The teeth, the evil shadows of her life, the frustration, her psychotic attitude holds some secret fascination that, IMO, makes her much better and interesting the her sister, the princess.

I think the whole hatred-evil-bitch-mileena gets kinda bored..I want mileena and kitana to have one last fight(and that kitana kills mileena off ones and for all)

Everything in excess is boring.

A character with too much power and no weakness would be boring.
A character with no power and many weaknesses would be boring.

But Mileena plays her evil-hatred-frustration role very well in Mk2 and MKD. While her whole endless rivalry with Kitana has gotten boring, she did not focus on this in Deception. Her story in that game was very well developed, and her role as the “fake princess” added many points to her wicked character.

She is psycho, 100% crazy, PSYCHO! That’s just the best there is about Mileena. Kitana has defeated her in the past, but I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if she falls at the “mercy” of Mileena in a near future. I think she has demonstrated how much power she holds in deception. She seems more evil and stronger.

Besides, if Jade could defeat Kitana, Mileena definitely has the advantage (even if Kitana was evil at that time). I would personally like Mileena to win, because it would finally add a new twist, and it would transform/end the boring rivalry into a new scenario, where the evil finally beats the good.

Kitana could loose and die, but to please fans, she could just “die”, like everyone does now days.

XiahouDun84, this is for you, but anyone can answer.

In Mileena's MKT ending she helps Earth's warriors by feeding Shao Kahn misinformation about their where abouts and plans. It's stated that she can read, or sense, kitana's thoughts after her resurction.

It's never be said that this is true, then again not much was ever said about what hapened between MK3 and 4.

thoughts?

That is mentioned in her MKT ending but she doesn't do it to help the Earth fighters. She does it under orders from Shinnok to prepare for his invasion.

Damn, I had forgotten all about her ability to read the Princess thoughts. They should really go deeper with that special ability she has. Its very cool she can do that, adds another big plus.

I hope they add more of that in Mk7 if both are still among the living.

I guess my real question was whether or not you believe it was cannon or not. And from reading your post, I believe your answer is yes.

I realize that she did it for Shinnok and not Earth's fighters, but there have been others that I have talked to who have dismissed this info as "no-cannon". I like to think that it did happen.

Yes,her MKT ending was canon because in MKG,she was fighting along the side of Shinnok so her ending was canon. I'd like to see Mileena and Kitana team up together against one big bad. That would be cool. I actually did a MK7 bio for a Mileena and Kitana tag team. I can't remember where it is though....
