I don't know...charred attire...red eyes...LOL...maybe it's just me but I think we finally have an evil Raiden on our hands. It's pretty badass.

If he is evil, then that is just kick ass.

had ne one notice the flies flyin around raiden in the vids?

I agree that Raiden is probably not evil. Still, the bio's mean nothing until we can prove they're applicable to the events following MKDA.

I would think the bio's could be considered cannon, being media released by midway. Why wouldn't they be?

I haven't been able to see, but I have seen as Baraka cut a piece of Raiden's cape!!!

Oh, they're accurate, but most likely prior to the events of MKD.

what you mean finally I do not think he is evil in this one but in MK he was a bad mo fo

So Raiden is evil now hmm. I tried to watch the video's but my computer is to slow maybe cause i have aol hmmm but that would be a big ass blow but if its true then im looking foward to seeing whats gonna happen 3 more months!!

I noticed the flies as well. The same way they flew around Drahmin.

Perhaps he is a corpse. I mean, if he lost his godly essence when he tried to destroy the DK, then maybe his body will decompose like a normal human. Course, then why would he still be alive? Another resurrection I guess.

really interesting, but evil or not, I just hope that Raiden will be a better fighter then he was in MKDA.

JiuJistu is a style that involve throws and luxation, something that Raiden didn't have in MKDA. But if you ask me, he look pretty bad ass, even if he look really similar to the way he was looking in MKDA.

With the way Raiden looks and all, I wouldn't be so sure to say he is not evil. Raiden could easily be evil, he does have the red eyes along with the whole evil looking suit.

Plus if those flies are his, then that means's Raiden is having some problems.

I AGREE! Raiden is not evil at all. In his bio(that we all know by know and what happens), I think the way Raiden is more black/darker is was the cause of the ethernal blast he created.

I think he's probably resurrected as well.
Perhaps as a last ditch effort to stay alive before he lost his god-of-thunder status, he did something to preserve hisself.

Something like Ganon did in Ocarina of time....

....resurrected and pissed.

He doesnt look evil to me... he looks zombie... whatever that implies

Something must of happend to Raiden i really want to know what exactly did happen to him. i really wanted him to return to MK and he did but whats up with this burnt shadowy look with red eyes and what looks to be a burnt cape you can see in the movie it has rips in it and everything...

I believe he is evil. The most incriminating evidence would be the symbol on his hat in the screen capture thread. Its just like the one on Li Mei's helmet and the Dragon King's undead soldiers helmets from MK:DA.

i heard in scorpians bio it said that scorpian escaped the soulnado and came accross the fabled elder gods so maybe raiden & scorpians bio are linked some how

I don't care if you THINK he's evil! He's NOT! His bio CLEARLY says so! And as someone else already pointed out, that bio IS canon, as it was released by Midway, so if you're gonna say, "What if they change his bio at the last minute?", then why don't you just WAIT UNTIL OCTOBER 4 to see whether or not they have, instead of, what I've been seeing as of late, seeing only what you WANT to see instead of what you're SUPPOSED to see! I don't care if there's a pentagram, a skull, or an inverted cross on his cape! HE'S STILL GOOD! In fact, I'd like to see him with an Inverted Cross on his cape and still be Good, because of the way he's been treated by the Elder Gods. I think THEY'RE the evil ones here, and their actions (or rather, lack of action) in MK3/UMK3/MKT and MKDA prove it.
