Li Mei in MK1 actually looks very close to her MKX version. Tanya on the other hand, had a drastic change in her design. Pretty much unrecognizable from her previous incarnations. I can understand why people would be unhappy with it but I personally don't have much of an issue with it, as long as her personality stays true to her character.

I don't and never understand why Tanya's appearance matters to people's fighting meta.
@ Won't lie, after seeing so much harsh backlash over it, I feel bad for the facemodel. People were even trying to track her down to bully her so she steps out of the role. Pretty messed up individuals.
@Sara-it9se That’s true. People can relate LiMei but not Tanya . She just seems off , feels like coming from a different era , that’s why the harsh backlash on the character. And as per the trailer, Tanya still aids Mileena which means the character still behaves true to itself. So it’s a good thing. it’s really worse to know that people tracking down the face model and bullying her. If there’s anything wrong then ask NRS Casting team rather than reaching out to the face model. I think when people watch more and more, I think it will sink in and moreover watching the story will give more insight on the character
@@MikeLabsYT i'm all fine with everyone in Mortal Kombat, no matter what they look, their appearances just help enhance on varieties of race and the brutality graphic since they're all real life model based. Now people are fighting for Ermac should be like in MK11's krypt (indeed, he was that better) as they were sending death threat to Ed Boon to force the creator to listen.
I personally liked Li Mei as defender of her village and the people’s hero. Really humanized Outworlders and showed that there were decent and good folk on the other side just trying to get by too. But it’s nice just to see her evolve back into a playable character again.
I see MK has jumped on the all Africans being interchangeable band wagon. I know Tonya is Edenian and not Egyptian, but she was clearly based on that culture. Both in ethnic appearance, and style.
U realize that ancient Egyptians were ethically diverse right? So Tanya being black is not a stretch at all. Sounds like ur trying to make an excuse to force out ur suspicious views on things like that..
I think I’ll like Mortal Kombat 1 Li Mei a lot more. I don’t Favor Li Mei, but I’m glad she’s part of the franchise. I just thought she becomes more awesome and interesting in Mortal Kombat 1, due to her gameplay, new backstory, and her interactions with characters. I know the game hasn’t come out yet, but the trailers got me intrigued more often.
honestly would’ve been cool to have her as a sort of outworld counterpart to Liu Kang, had the potential from her debut in Deadly Alliance; -martial artist from a humble village. -virtuous, with a strong sense of justice. -personal conflict against Shang Tsung. -trains under Bo’Rai Cho in Deception.
Finally, Li Mei gets to be awesome and interesting. Darius is back, and he’s...Darius. Glad he’s a Kameo Fighter. I always thought of Tanya being a traitorous henchwoman, but I’m surprised to see her in a new and different role. This new MK game is becoming more intriguing.
@GEO G So so true bro !! Finally LiMei gets a part and she looks awesome and the Kombos looks great as well. Darius does Jax job as well in the Kameo 😅😅.. Day by day it’s becoming more and more intriguing
Its not that Tanya is ugly or anything. She def is still pretty. But what pisses a lot of people is that she's so far off from her old counterpart which was not the case for literally everyine else lmao
I must be the minority that actually likes Tanya’s new look, personally I find her very charismatic and intimidating. She moves from the role of a treacherous henchwoman to an honorable leader/defender of the royal family is a huge leap in character development, and the fact that she’s one of the most experienced and eldest members of Umgadi justifies her appearance
I like it too, especially the personality change. I hated the mustache twirling henchwoman role, but as the leader of Milena's guard who is fiercely loyal to her she's ten times better
@@tempest206they’re complaining because they hate it when black people potray and kind of new or reoccurring character in anything because they see it as this “attack on whiteness”
@@subzerofromny735 Go wash your eyes wokie: Tanya has always been of a tan color, if not outright black. People were mostly upset with the fact she lost her mysterious "prophet" monochrome pupils.
@@anton.chigrinetc.96 see you just proved my point. Every time a black person portrays any character y’all say “oh this is woke I don’t like it! Why do they have to add woke stuff?! Why is she Tanya?! Why is everything so woke?!”
I don't really mind, but the thing is I really miss Tanya's MKX facemodel. I mean the Facemodel of Tanya in MK1 is beautiful, but hey! As long as the actress stays true to Tanya's attitude or personality.
`Li Mei's color should be more pastel purple since what she's rocking right now, a lot of people confuses her with Mileena, even though it's more violet. Plus, it's usually associated with Sindel's color.
it’s crazy that Tara strong played her in mkx i thought she returned in mk1 but it’s Kelly hu who played sindel frost and dvorah in mkx but dvorah in mk11 too I’m interested 😮
Oh my god when will it get through to you dumbasses that Tanya was never Egyptian? And how convenient is it for you to live your whole childhood and grow up with predominantly white casts and then say “yep that’s it im done. If they make anymore remakes I want them to be exactly how they were with no minorities and keep it that way”
You mean devolution it’s like the monkey to man picture but in reverse. Same goes for raiden clearly white just wore Chinese stuff and probably grew up in the area somehow and became a god in Chinese area. Cyrax was black but raised elsewhere but we gotta act like if ur from this area there is no way U can be any other color. Also tired of the females having their heads shaved covering up everything but the men have big bulges and butts. I bet the umgadi will be anti men or have a lot of dialogue saying stuff about men and how liu kang is a man
@@yomilala8929 they say they did it because it’s not practical but Johnny cage is in a buisness suit. He knows he is fighting but stays in it the whole time. Jax doesn’t wear a shirt. Why are they not in bullet proof vest? Cause character design they would not look unique and it wouldn’t be fun. But the women all look similar and have cloth literally over everything and shaved unrealistic hairstyles. Tanya looks like she just got some kemo done

The universe is rebooted. So, technically, they don't have to stick to the older looks if they do not wish to.
Using your logic they shouldn't stick to the old characters either but here we are, with Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Mileena, Kitana, Reptile, Raiden etc
