Yeah man, I totally agree!

I really wish they would bring back that "Mental Connection." I feel like thats a really important part about both characters, but I think the MK Team forgot about it or something. I hope this mental connection evolves into a more important part of the storyline.

It would totally make sense also. Kitana gets her memory erased and she serves Shao Khan just like Mileena. They would be AMAZING twin villains... hell even I think it would be cool if they were a sub boss. I would love for an EPIC fight ladder in arcade mode. You fight all the normal fighters then you have to go through all of Shang Tsungs servants..

1st fight - Reptile

2nd fight - Kitana / Mileena (you fight them as a tag team like noob smoke)

3rd fight - Shang Tsung

4th fight - Kintaro

5th fight - Shao Khan

I must admit it sounds interesting but R U SERIOUS?!! Kitana is the Princess of Edenia and Mileena is the evil bitch who envy's her. Mileena and Kitana are enemy's for life and thats how its gonna stay. Don't be fooled by Kitana's pretty face and by her royalty, if you piss her of she'll decapitate your ass!

But the point is that as the queen of Edenia, she is also one of the most boring, generic, undeveloped characters in MK history considering that shes been in almost every game. Hell your gif is also proving my point. She should have stayed the badass, ruthless femme fetal that she was in MK2 and Shaolin Monks. Now shes a pussy

Kitana was many thing in Shaolin Monks.

"Bad ass" was not one of them.

With the exception of MK2 she was more badass in that gif than ANYTHING else she has ever done in any MK game

I agree, I think a good battle and story with Mileena and Kitana is long overdue. However I think it should be a closure thing. I mean we all love the story of the evil twin and the Princess but it needs resolution. I think killing either of them would be a bad move Mileena has developed nicely into an interesting evil bitch. I feel always linking her to Kitana is now getting a little tired since she has displayed ambition for herself. I like the idea of Mileena becoming more Mileena and not a Mileena who's all about Kitana. Obviously they will always be linked but I do believe that it's time Mileena stopped trying to be Kitana because she'd be an even better villain in her own right. Since she is a clone of a Princess it stands to reason that Mileena herself has it within her to rule, Time to stop her being a minion and step her up another level. Deception made some nice steps in that direction and hopefully with their story resolved (or at least resolved as it can be) both character will develope nicely. Just think Mileena's own armies Vs Kitana's and other epic shiz like that. To me it seems that Mileena's character is hindered by being tied to a character that has had so little development.

First of all Kitana is the PRINCESS, and her mama Sindel is the QUEEN of Edenia. I dont find Kitana boring whatsoever, I think shes one of the most interesting characters in MK. However, I feel like we need more of Kitana in MK games, we dont get enough of her. Shes not involved as much and idk why because shes an amazing character. Hopefully Kitana plays a bigger role in the new MK. Im dieing to see her and Mileena go at it!.......and why do you keep calling her a Pussy? It makes you sound young...

I know that but im simply saying what COULD happen becuase its a retelling. Also its what I would like to happen. Now this is kinda off topic but I have a feeling that the story for this game is going to be COMPLETELY different from
previous games. I would rather see Brainwashed Kitana than Princess good Kitana

Also im calling her a pussy cause thats what she seems like to me in these games. Yes she is a princess but in a game thats all about brutality and violence shes been pretty tame in every game after MK2

I think an interesting place to take Kitana as a character would be an inner conflict of ruling. I mean her morals vs the need to protect Edenia I think it would be interesting to have her going a little darker and having to do things that she as a person doesn't like but has too do as a Princess to protect her people. Like her becoming so sick of the constant threats and for her to take an a far more aggressive way of thinking, she would of course still be good but she would have to accept that sometimes to be a good ruler you have to be a bad person.

Most likely were gonna get the naughty Kitana in the new MK. I hope we do BUT then I want to see her CHANGE to how she is currently. She looks stunning in this pic...

I like her costume design in MKSM, but my god, Kitana's lines and voice acting in that game are the absolute worst performance in the history of Mortal Kombat. There is absolutely nothing badass or good example-worthy about that.
Anyway, Kitana's one of my favorite characters, but I also think she's been seriously given the shaft for about a decade and that's why, even though she's probably tied with Sonya for "most well known/popular female in MK", she doesn't seem to be too popular on the boards all of a sudden. This whole idea that she's been portrayed like a weakling Disney princess is half justified. But only half.
Her story started out so strong, she's like the most interesting character in the whole cast in MK2. Raised from a child to think Shao Kahn's her dad (note there was never any spell or brainwashing, she was a baby when he conquered Edenia so she simply wouldn't remember Jerrod), but she's NOT treated like a princess, he turns her into a weapon. She should be dark and dangerous. But she finds out the truth about her parents and starts secretly plotting against him, helping Liu Kang win MK2. And Mileena catches her, so what does Kitana do? Fucking kills her. It's the one confirmed major death in the whole game, and who did it? Kitana. Badass.
As a kid, I was so pissed Mileena came back in MK3. It was the first time a character came back from the dead in MK (without being undead like Scorpion of course) and even then I knew it was a cheap move. I've gotten used to Mileena never going away as I've grown up, but it still doesn't sit right with me.
Anyway, MK3 was pretty good for Kitana too. To escape punishment for killing Mileena, she goes on the run during the invasion. She then proceeds to become a fucking leader and convert more of Kahn's army to her side. Jade, Sindel, and possibly Rain (we know for certain he at least leaves Kahn's army. He's still selfishly out for himself though.)
Aaaand then the moment Edenia is freed and she becomes a princess, that's when the problems start. MK4? She's a hostage, a damsel in distress for Liu to rescue. Kind of nice that he fails and she gets herself set free...or rather, Mileena lets her go so they can fight it out. Lame that this time, Kitana spares Mileena and just locks her up though.
(Interesting note: when MK4 first came out, I always thought Shinnok's invasion of Edenia would, or should, have resulted in them killing Sindel to take the throne. Why did they let her live? Strategically, it makes no sense to put the ruler of a kingdom in jail instead of assassinating them when you're stealing the throne. I wonder if Kitana would be better or worse off as a character if she were queen instead of princess. It would make her a little more important and get rid of some dead weight (the series doesn't need a queen AND a princess, Sindel is redundant)...but on the other hand, then I guess she'd spend all her time sitting on a throne and being unimportant to every plot like Sindel is.)
Anyway, Deadly Alliance did I think an admirable job of making Kitana an important and interesting character again. In MKDA, Kitana was not a soft and gentle princess figure, Kitana went to war like a general.
Picking up from Kung Lao's MK4 ending, it establishes that Kitana has allied herself with Goro and is LEADING AN ARMY of Edenians and Shokan into Outworld for no reason other than to kill Shao Kahn once and for all. Kahn was not invading Edenia. Kahn wasn't doing anything to anyone at the time. He was lying low, still resting from losing MK3. Think about that. KITANA STARTED THAT WAR. That's awesome to see a hero character be proactive, go on the offense, be the attacker for once.
Then her character starts this weird downward spiral path. First her army loses a major battle with Kahn's when Goro (seemingly) dies, then she finds out Liu's dead. At the time, these were interesting developments, but by Armageddon, we'll see that the depressing downer shit in Kitana's life has piled up so badly, she looks weak and emo. We'll come back to that later.
So Kitana trains with Kung Lao and Bo' Rai Cho, goes to fight the Deadly Alliance...and gets killed. And immediately resurrected as a mind controlled slave. Now, I love Deception's storyline. It's one of my favorite games plot-wise. But that was just retarded, killing and rezzing five characters in a single stroke. They couldn't have had them just knocked out?
Anyway, Deception made the second game where Kitana was just a damsel in distress for someone else to save. BIG mistake. And when they did make her playable in the PSP version, her ending is about Blaze telling her Armageddon is coming and her being so depressed by all the bad shit that keeps happening to her that she like drops to her knees and cries.
Where the fuck were they going with this plot? It's like they're building up to having her slit her fucking wrists like her mother did long ago. How can you write a story about a character being depressed all the time? No wonder people have gotten the impression Kitana turned into a pussy.
And man, Armageddon...the whole thing is about a war taking place in Edenia, and Kitana and Sindel don't even appear in Konquest mode? What the fuck? And her ending doesn't even have anything to do with her character's personality, it was just some generic "lol we can't think of anything but she's a stereotypical girl so she forms an all-girl squad to fight badguys" bullshit.
And then in MK vs DCU, where all the characters are supposed to be their MK2 or 3 selves, so she should be the badass assassin-turned-rebel again, all she does is act princessly caring about her people and whatnot, go crazy from "THE RAAAAGE", get mind controlled by Quan Chi for like ten seconds...and that's it. She doesn't even have her own chapter in the story.
So yeah. Kitana fans have had a really rough decade, it feels like the team has lost focus of what her personality is supposed to be...but the MK2 and 3 version, the one who we SHOULD be seeing in this game, is one of the best characters in the series and EASILY superior to fucking Mileena, who's just a dumb henchwoman who does the same shit every game and should have stayed dead.

I don't see why people feel the need to harpoon a character just because they prefer another. It seems even odder to me regarding characters like Mileena and Kitana, they are linked so much to eachother and are the reason for eachothers success as characters. Kitana without Mileena is just another Princess the whole evil twin thing makes Kitana a more interesting character. I prefer Mileena but I like Kitana and think both are important characters for the series. But without each other they both lose a part of who they are.

I don't think so, you know... It's Mileena the one who needs Kitana to be someone. Kitana never seemed to really care a lot about Mileena or need her in her personality; she is a "full" character who exists beyond their rivarly, Mileena nor so much.
Btw I agree, there is no reason to be nasty to a character because you like another character: personally, I am only nasty when I think a character honestly, actually fucking sucks

You have a point however I feel that in recent games Mileena has began to lean toward being her own character. Yes her stories are still all about Kitana but for example in Deception Mileena was posing as Kitana but planned to reveal who she really was. I like both of the characters and I think one last boom between them will allow them both to move forward, I think it's time to allow Mileena a little more moving space regarding her stories. I think it's time Mileena accepts what she is and starts to have more of a presence beyond Kitana.

Uh, Mileena never planned to reveal herself. In fact she tried to kill Baraka because HE was planning on revealing her.

But yeah, MK needs to keep Kitana being badass like her MK2 and 3 appearances. I think her love story with Liu Kang was the catalyst of her downward spiral as a character. The writers need to remember that she was a badass assassin before she was a princess. It makes no sense for her to all of a sudden become "holier than thou."

Agreed. I think Mileena alone is an amazing character. Ever since MKD, she has gained so much popularity. I mean its so hard not to like Mileena. From the outside she looks like this hot sexy mama. But as we all know, shes an evil, ugly bitch and thats why we all love her. Kitana on the other hand is the beautiful good girl. The princess of Edenia who fell in love with the champion of Mortal Kombat, Lui Kang. The one who was raised by no other than Shao Kahn himself. Kitana is one of my favorite characters and will continue to be but I defenetly want Mileena to stay. MK is stronger having both of them......this whole thing is making me more and more excited to see them go at it in the MK!

Well it's one of them where Mileena planned to reveal who she was when she had corrupted the armies enough to follow her under her true identity. I think perhaps they could play more on Mileena being Shao Khan's real "daughter" of course we know she isn't but she has served him well ( apart from occasionally planning to overthrow him etc..) there are many possibilities with her, Kitana already has lots of story without Mileena but Mileena has less but that's not say there isn't plenty that could be done with her. I really hope that these two characters get the stories they deserve.

There is no such ending in Deception. Her plan was to pretend to be Kitana forever.

Sorry it was Armageddon I knew I'd read it somewhere lol

"Outworld was MINE! Posing as the Edenian wench Kitana, I gained command of her army and with it took control of Shao Kahn's fortress - all in the name of "peace." I had planned to continue my charade until the Edenian forces could be corrupted enough to follow me as Mileena, the true conqueror of Outworld."

Ah, I forgot that line. Fair enough.

Though that's a completely retarded plan. It's not like Mileena knows magic, hell she's not even very clever or good at speeches and manipulation, how's she think she could ever "corrupt" an entire army, especially one from Edenia, the land of fairy tales and rainbows, into turning evil?

Haha Maybe but I think considering she is a clone of Kitana it's possible for her to be capable of more than just running around causes little problems. I'm just trying to think of ways for her to develop...Anyway the point of that is that Mileena game by game is starting to become a Mileena who's her own and not a Mileena who 100% wants to be Kitana. Which I think needs to develop further I think her trying to be Kitana has run it's course perhaps she can come to terms with not being able to best Kitana and strike in other ways as Mileena.

Well I wouldn't hold your breath for growth and evolution in a game set in the past. Raiden may be changing history, but I guarantee he doesn't give a damn about Mileena. The most she'll get is this time, she'll probably survive Kitana turning traitor.

Yeah I know that, sorry I got a little off topic rambling on about other shiz. But still looking forward to a possible retelling of the Kitana/Mileena saga.
