FATALITY! DID MORTAL KOMBAT 1 RUIN THE CHARACTERS WITH THE GENDER SWAP?

Did Mortal Kombat 1 Change TOO MUCH?
In this video, we dive into one of the most talked-about controversies among fans: the gender swaps in Mortal Kombat 1 and how they affect the essence of the franchise’s classic characters!

We talk about Sektor and Cyrax, who received reinvented versions in Liu Kang’s new era, but ended up splitting the community. Did these new interpretations manage to keep the charisma and brutality of the original cyborgs?

We also analyze Madame Bo, a possible female version of Bo’ Rai Cho, and the mystery behind Raiden’s supposed sister, who may actually be a new take on Fujin. We also discuss Janet Cage — the female variant of Johnny Cage — and how she fits into the Mortal Kombat multiverse without erasing the original character.

And to wrap things up with an icy finish, we dive into Frost, who could be the natural path toward a future female Sub-Zero — something that makes perfect sense in Liu Kang’s rewritten timeline.
