I am a new poster here so not sure if anyone has brought this up. We have all seen Raiden's new look with the red eyes. If you notice in the intro when he is hit by Quan Chi (around the first couple of seconds into the intro) as soon as Quan Chi makes contact Raidens eyes flash red. I dont believe that Raiden is evil in the game, maybe it is Raiden in a weakened state or just really really angry... really

Well if this is true, then it pretty much confirms that Raiden hasn't got red eyes because he is evil. Maybe the red appears because with each blow he lost his control over Thunger. He did participate in Mortal Kombat against the Deadly Alliance and the Elder Gods' wisdom, so maybe whenever he got hit he lost his powers for a brief second.

Anyway, I saw the video and I get what you mean. They don't really go bright red, but they do seem a different colour (like a faded white). It will be ineresting to see how this works out. BTW, doesn't it look like the eyes changed colour well before Shang Tsung hit Raiden?

Thanks for that, Bezou. That would explain why it just sort of appears to cove the eyes, and not really the eye colour changes. Good work.

Even though it's blood, I still think Raiden is a good guy still. Why waste that if he's evil?

I don't think red eyes mean he's evil. I personally would be disappointed if it turned out he turned evil and he got red eyes as a consequence.
