I like how they wrote everyone to not be purely evil except the usual suspects. Even Baraka, who used to be a guy driven only by violent revenge and hunger, now is entirely devoted to helping his people live a better life, and is smart enough to figure out how to use connections with another minority group to get his people the attention they need. It's amazing how just a few shifts with the world order made everything much less grimdark and more hopeful, like having Milena actually become Empress like it was originally meant to be, giving Raiden the opportunity to learn humility and self control, and even having Smoke no longer be another villain, but a friend to Scorpion now. Really great work on the world building for this.

[@twilit8162]

Even then, some of the villains are written with some positive attributes- take for instance Shao, who went from “conquering barbarian who’s people serve him” to “deluded general thinking he’s genuinely serving his people.” Still evil, but there’s now some attributes that could set up for interesting personal conflict later

How about instead of having him reunite Harumi, marrying her, and starting the Shirai Ryu, he reunites with Harumi, finds out she's already married to Hanzo Hisashi, and they have already started the Shirai Ryu, albiet as a small and inexperienced ninja clan. With Scorpions and Smokes' help, they provide more efficient training and disciplines to the Shirai Ryu, which gradually allowed them to gain more recruit and grow large enough to rival to the Lin Kuei. By doing this, it gives Hanzo the happiness he deserves while also making Kuai Liang fit the role as Scorpion.
