@@Greg501- exactly,Mileena has only ever missed MKVsDC but Kitana had some of her moves,whats worse is she returned after dying in a previous game,Thankfully she has significantly lower chances of being in the next game
The saddest part about the controversy was the fact that normal Mileena fans couldn't comment a thing about the character without being trashed by her haters, thankfully those days are long gone.
Honestly my interest in Mileena really started with MK Deception. I enjoyed playing as her because of her move set and unbeknownst to me, she had a veil of mystery to her. I like to think many of us got really interested into Mileena from Mortal Kombat 2011 for……obvious reasons myself included. But still, I liked her designs and she was still fun to play as.
I myself am a Mileena fan, but the toxic fans don't speak for me either, I'm still to this day in 2022 disgusted by what these fans did, it's absolutely vile and I hope it never happens again.
Also a Mileena fan and I agree with you completely. It is a shame that a bunch of toxic adult babies made such a wonderful character into an icon for online toxicity. Now if you tell someone you like Mileena they automatically assume you are one of those toxic creeps. Or at least there's that specter of that possibility. At least there's Sindel, oh wait.
Let's be honest, people who make death threats on the internet, are the biggest cowards on earth, if they were face to the person, they would be silent
@@IcyLights33 that depends. There are people who insult others even to their face. So their behavior online is not really due to cowardice or anonymity, but because the really are that way.
Some people, if not, most toxic people, mind you, are more bark than bite, not really willing to get themselves into trouble, but, evidence is still there, wether it be online or in person. It shows that humanity is slowly de-evolving. As some say “touch grass” don’t just do that, but also swallow air too.
Imagine what would happen if they didn’t’ put scorpion or sub zero in the game I don’t think there would be death threats I think there would be death promises💀💀
@@stillslick7964 Yeah pls stop the lies so you can Villanize every Mileena fan I've gotten called racist slurs for beating Scorpion players on online mode
I had literally no idea about all this drama with Mileena. I just loved the idea of her. A royal was killed and usurped, the Queen and daughter behaved to stop anymore bloodshed. Kitana was a skilled warrior and royal but Shao wanted something of his blood born of Outworld. So his Court Mage whipped up Mileena. Who I think is a perfect contrast.
Same. Some iterations I like more than others but her mythos is interesting despite how messed up it is. Speaking of blood born, is it true Kahn was originally intended to be tarkatan.
@@e-roc6472 I’ve heard that. But I’m not sure if it’s true or just a rumor. I can’t remember when they made him inhuman but in 11 he looks like a tarkatan or one of those bipedal things they use as beasts of burden.
I’m also a mileena fan and I’m not toxic ….Ok but I just want mileena and kitana to work together and work out their differences…..imagine their power I also feel the female characters never get enough shine tbh
I’ve got death threats, r*pe threats, death wishes, got called slurs etc. from Ermac, Havik, Rain, Reptile fans for just mentioning Mileena or having her on my profile picture MANY TIMES while I didn’t even act toxic or joked about her. All fandoms in the MK Community are toxic to be honest.
Exactly so I'm not getting why people keep calling out us Mileena fans and grouping us all together as the worst and most toxic fandom it's just not right Imo
@@TreasBeauty Shao Kahn had the best damage (despite being unsafe). Skarlet was the main zoner (alongside robocop). Dvorah had some of the best normals (excellent range). Rain was a jack of all trades. Kitana had low damage but her specials covered all her weaknesses. Kung lao was the best punisher in the game. And rambo had pretty much the coolest animations in the game. What did mileena have? Beside pitifully ranged normals, recycled animations from injustice's cheetah, and laughable abilities?
@@themanwhosoldtheworld3284 not only that if you really think about all her strings are unsafe and un awarding if you land them. For example back 1,1,2 is a mid with no range and ends with an high and if you land it you get no combo extender after, like imagine tele-kicking after the string. Also her recovery is really slow compared to most characters.
Mileena isn't just spicy because of how she dresses. She's the only woman in MK that looks like she wants to be sexy rather than just being made that way. And the way she acts not only makes sense story wise considering her abandonment from her sister Kitanna, her sorta father Shao Khan and creator Shang Tsung, but makes us feel like we could at least hang out with her and make her feel better. Her whole appeal is that she wants love and attention. And we want to give her that love and attention, even if she's purely fictional.
There's an horror movie about something like this. I don't remember the name, but the girl were a clear nod to Mileena. The man found a blonde weird and cannibal girl and adopt her. Then, they two started a incestuous relationships, led by her instincts, wich also lead her again to the cannibalism. Someone may help with the movie name?
Not all Mileena fans are bad, but damn were the good ones fogged by that toxic cloud left by the others. Trolling is one thing against Lord Boon the master of trolls, but death threats...? You need to make people feel a fear you're probably feeling at home? get help.
I think people who make death threats should get a long time behind bars... that way they think twice before doing this... they are lucky they add mileena to the game. I mean like if they add her which they did great. if no then just wait lol
Ok all of y'all saying the same dam thing "there are some mileena fans that are good" if that's so true then what's the point of spamming the same thing, exactly like the toxic mileena fans?
As a Mileena fan I apologize on the behalf of all Mileena stans I love this character so much,it sucks that the fandom is cray-cray and ruins her reputation in the roster.
Ur a fan, ur not a part of the “Stan-dom”, u don’t really need to apologise tbh. But unfortunately, there is more stans than fans out there for mileena and most of the edenian female fanbases in general
@@nabilahmed579 yeah,completely understood what you meant.I just want Milly to not be hated like that because of those fans P.S where are you from? Curious because of the Arab-esque name 😊
@@xxgamergirlxx7917 I’m from Bangladesh, from the Shylet-side of it (yh, people get judged from which side of Bangladesh they came from especially from Dhaka lol)
I think you should really reconsider that statement. The community doesn't need more of that type of behavior. And it doesn't need to be coming from someone like you.
I am a huge Mileena fan & NOT one of the toxic ones that went to the extremes of harassment to the NRS team. If I remember correctly, if not Ed Boon himself then someone on the team had mentioned that Mileena was ALWAYS on board to be in MK11. They just kept her out longer to develop her story a bit more. It became almost like a running joke to the team as they already knew that she was coming. For Ed to troll the toxic fans the way he did made me believe that she would be in the game eventually. I always found it interesting how he trolled the Mileena community & NOT the others. THAT in itself was telling. I’m glad that she made it & I enjoyed her a lot in the game.
Is Mileena my favourite Mk character? Yes absolutely. Was leaving her out of Mk 11 a bad decision? I think so yeah. Does that mean anyone deserves death threats? Fuck no.

1:27 I remember being so obsessed with the image on the right that I tried looking everywhere to find it online and use it as my wallpaper. I never succeeded.
I'm a Mileena fan as well and I agree with You. There's no need to be toxic if you like a characters. Actually I think it was a good decision to keep Mileena out of one MK installment because let's face it. At this point MK roaster is the most predictible thing on earth. I miss the days of 3D era where they made wild decisions about the roaster keeping a lot fo fan favourite out.
1:24 I thought that image was a fan made edit, I didn't realize that was official sort of, Damn, if only NetherRealm had the balls to do something like that
As she should. Death threats are insane since I didn’t know of this drama either at the time. I was just on the MK11 hype train. But task successfully failed by the fandom?😂
Great video, just one thing you forgot to mention that the haters were at times just as or more toxic than the stans, like that one time a guy posted a pic about naming his daughter Mileena and a hater responded by wishing death upon the child simply because her name is Mileena.
I just lost my dog and the fact that people would compare that pain to the disappointment of their favorite character not being added to a game is fucking disgusting to me.
I became a Mileena stan when MK Deception dropped. Her fatalities were amazing, her moveset was true to her character and creative, the design was probably her best
The one who became my favorite in Deception was Ermac. And MK9/10 did him so dirty, completely destroying all his previous character progression and making him just a puppet to Shao Kahn
As much as I love Mileena and is one of my Favorites and sees the Potential of being a Dark Neutral Person with a Complicated Sisterly Relationship with Kitana like Gamora and Nebula and Weiss and Winter,but instead they treated Her like Bait and Turned the Fanbase Toxic and Ed and NRS are the Ones to Blame because accidentally or not they did it on Purpose and it's no Coincidence that she won every Award instead of other Characters in the Roster that deserve it the most,this is one of the Biggest Mistakes and Worst Things both Ed and NRS have ever done.
I hate unlockable characters in fighting games so much, it's so stupid, no character should be locked, they should be free to play without trying to earn it
This whole situation was a fever dream to me, as a mileena fan i was obviously repulsed by some of the stans who acted the way they did but i was also suprised at how many people also loved mileena.
@@apophis7712 I love Mortal Kombat. Been playing it since the original game. But I honestly think social media hasn't been the best thing for it. From people making death threats about Mileena not being in the game to people stalking other people's posts because they (god forbid) liked Sindel's turn in Mortal Kombat 11 it's been a constant shit show. The endless arging over game mechanics, the toxic behavior in Kombat League over playstyles. Being subjected to racist and homophobic slurs over the mic. Like try that shit back in the arcade days and you would have gotten your ass beat in the middle of the arcade. It's pretty bad. And as a community we need to start acknowledging it and condemning it.
When the mk battle of the realms movie trailer dropped, I kept seeing “where’s mileena” and didn’t know she was in a list of characters to appear in botr. And to see the creators mistake li mei for mileena had me dying 🤣 since it meant mileena wasn’t in the in the movie
Mileena rocks, definitely the best character but they really let her down on MK11 and the latest film. Anyone seriously issuing death threats needs to rethink thier life choices but I understand the irritation
The irritation? ITS A NON-REAL CHARACTER and you say mileena the best character like its a fact, when she gets tossed to the side these days. Just like reptile
Personally, I don't think that mileena was intended to be added to mk11. Reason being that with the story. Remember, mileena did 'die' in the previous game, so her being there would be too much of a gap to fill. Especially with a story 3-4 hours long already. So that's my first reason. Secondly when Ed made that slip up, remember that rain was already a dlc in a previous installment. So him saying mileena and rain in the same sentence would maybe him hinting at adding fan favourite dlc's not just mileena and rain, which wouldn't be a problem and that's coming from a smoke and ermac fan. Third and final point, as you've stated mileena dresses too 'spicy' and following the controversy of mk9's female dressing too erotically they prolly wanted to minimize that as much as possible. But sadly, Ed Boon heard the fans cry and decided to add her. But there's room for debate. [Edit] I didn't even think of commercial sales of the company. Thank you for pointing that out.
i would like to add that kitana already had the sais as a piece of gear which potentially means that that mileena was never intended to be in the game as her iconic sais were given to kitana
@@archduke0000 dam, I didn’t even think of it like that. That is a really good point. They withhold the character from being playable to cash out as dlc due to popular demand.
I have been a Mileena fan since she debuted in MK2. But the sheer level of toxicity from the fan base is astounding. I regret sometimes saying that I am a Mileena main because people automatically lump me in with those lugheads who would troll the devs. It's despicable.
The toxic community disheartened me because there are some genuine fans who like the character and don't do any insane things like trolling or being toxic
@@stillslick7964 girl be quiet cuz you make no sense. Being a toxic fan is not good, so idk why you’re taking pride into it.. You’re just childish asf bro, like get a grip. You do understand that you, along w EVERY other toxic fan has probably ruined a chance for Mileena to appear in MK12?! Like calm down, it’s never that deep to send threats and be a toxic fan.
@@Bri-rl9jz ok so get this straiight and dont get it twisted after what happenedwith being late in mk11 bitches wont pull that stunt again caz that shit backfired and it not taking pride if bitches and niggas wanna act funny we can act hilarious i was toxic to the hater not the devs caz ion know nor follow any devs else besides ed so us messing up a chance for her they must be crazy after all theat shit theybeen throught with the fans
I'm a huge Meelina fan, I was upset when she wasn't in the game. But I never new any of this toxicity was going on. I'm so glad that I was never in this. I don't define these other Meelina fans, definitely dont support what they did.
@@wesleyvalk9129 what does spelling a name wrong gotta do with being a "huge fan" one spelling don't mean anything. Get your caps right before coming at me
Mileena fans are just like Anna fans from tekken. This is what you get by removing the spiciest character from the game. They have the biggest fan base.
Even though I’m about a year or more late, as a Mileena fan myself, I find it very pathetic how they acted. It’s almost, slightly embarrassing knowing that there are people who throw temper tantrums over the dumbest things
All of the female ninja characters always dressed spicy. I came to love them because of their abilities. Kitana, Jade, and Mileena's badassary drew me to them. Especially given that I first saw them in Shaolin monks...great introduction to the trio from a character standpoint
At this point I'd rather leave her out of the game rather than have her in yet being so rushed... like its so bad her mkx version is way better... i also dont associate with the toxic mileena fans, i just love mileenas misunderstood nature and that she deserves better, especially since being in mk11 kinda rules her out for mk12 which is even worse imo.. i wish they didnt listen to the toxic fans..
im one of the toxic fans and i can say that i wish we wouldnt got her if i knew she was gonna be trash i went from mkx where mileena was top3 to her being bottom5
It doesn’t rule her out per say only cause the cannon ending to MK11 was Liu meeting The Great Kung Lao so we might see her again but in a new way or old way with different visuals
@@paulmestrejr5904 hopefully cause i cant bear to not see her in the roster... really hope her and kitana still remain since they are staple characters in the mk universe imo
That pre-intro intro was one of the funniest. The words, "I wish I was joking" delivered in such a neutral way, with an instant cut to a title montage is always good editing.
The only one not announced in MK11’s base roster that I was disappointed wasn’t available at launch (and never added in dlc) was Kenshi. He may the most fun I had with the game in 9(dlc) and X. I was glad to see Noob and Kabal though.
I'm a Kitana fan, but even I know if you have Kitana, you have to have Mileena. It's like having Scorpion without Sub Zero. Like these games have those iconic characters with rivalries, so it's weird to see when NRS drops the ball. Mileena wasn't in MK5, Kitana wasn't in MK6 (just the PSP version), and Mileena was skipped in MK8. And then the last 2 live action movies have Sonya fighting Mileena for whatever reason.
Kitana can work just fine without mileena Same thing with Sub Zero without scorpion The old timeline proved this was possible however it does not work the other way around ...
I honestly believe they shouldn't have added Mileena. Not because I dislike the character, but because toxic behavior from a fandom should not go rewarded like this. It sets a dangerous precedent moving forward that all fans have to do to get their favorite character in the game is THREATEN TO FUCKING KILL the developers.
I remember Marvel getting death threats after killing off Spiderman in _Amazing-Spiderman_ #700. If something gets popular, odds are there will be some toxic people in the fandom.
This also happened to Rain fans a little. I remember an Ed Tweet where Rain and Mileena fans were both mentioned, but Rain fans were never at this level of insanity.
I fully admit that I'm a Mileena fan, but I do think what they did to her in MK11 was questionable... I mean, having her be DLC, and then not have her wear those revealing clothing that she's known for, and having in my opinion one of the worst voice changes I've seen/heard in a long time. However, I am not one of those toxic fans who resort to death threats if they don't get their way. For me at least, whenever I want a specific character appear in a video game, I often give hints, or beg for them to appear. For example, when Super Smash Bros Ultimate revealed that there was gonna be DLC characters, two characters I begged for the most part to be part of the DLC were Dante from Devil May Cry, and Shantae from the series of the same name. And then, when the Round 10 Mii costumes were revealed, of which both Dante and Shantae were revealed as being Mii costumes, I was very upset. But not to the point where I would send death threats to the people of Nintendo. And I did ended up buying the costumes anyway. So yeah, I am one of those fans who love to see my hopes and wishes to happen, but not to the point of doing something terrible that like a death threat.
For me it's Mileena (both versions), Sindel (midway), then Sheeva (both)... Twindel is Deception Lei Mei tier which is aight. Mk9 Skarlet and Ashara are honorable mentions for being cool.
The fact that people seriously were saying and posting the equivalent of "Give us Mileena, or we riot." is quite a bit funny to me. The gaming community has always been rather much when they're unhappy about things.
Mileena is one of my favorites and I didn't accept that toxic behavior from these, in fact I had some doubts that she will not make it to the game at least not on the main roster.
Angry Mileena fans arguing with NRS devs for her not being in MK11 roster after her two apperances in a row were so funny from the perspective of Smoke fan.
Well, it’s not like we see other fans of other characters do wild shit on the daily, compared to the edenians. Although, thank god there are actual edenian fans that are acc civil and don’t go fucking ballistic like the stans
@@nabilahmed579 agreed i understand that a lot of people will hate edenians/edenian players because they can be played in a cheesy way or because of how edenian players will act on twitter. yes i play them too but like not all of them act like crackheads on twitter or something 😂
You're exactly right. It was a business decision. Expect it to happen every time from here on out. I would put money on next time it's Scorpion or Subzero.
I’m a hardcore Mileena fan since Deception but not fking crazy for her giving death threats to developers if she’s not added. Those people need to go outside
Mileena fans... oh, I can't stand them. I'd imagine Ed is tired of them, too. He literally threw Mileena into MK11 just to shut them up, and you can't tell me he did it for other reasons. It's literally just to get them off his back and stop them flooding literally every Twitter post he makes with their factually toxic influence. Their dreadful attitude has kinda ruined Mileena for me as well and think she shouldn't deserve to return if her fans are just gonna bombard Ed with death threats over not including their ugly queen.
Mileena is essentially the female Scorpion, and she was created as such. Mileena showing her "ugly" teeth is pretty much the exact same concept of Scorpion taking off his mask revealing a Skull. It's supposed to be shock value. I believe Ed even said she was basically the Scorpion to Kitana's Sub-Zero in an interview in MK Deception. And character arc is fairly interesting and even relatable. Created for the purpose of replacing Kinata, she goes through an identity crisis of sorts. She constantly calls Kinata her "sister" and is surprised when Kinata kills her in several ending even canon endings (Mk4) even though Mileena apparently exist to kill Kinata. This could hint that Mileena is conflicted about killing Kinata. I think a lot of people resonate with what people expect them to do versus what they want to do and Mileena encapsulate that perfectly. She's just a fairly interesting and compelling character and represents the mk brand very well in her concept in brutality and shocking contrasting teeth with her pretty body. To the point I believe she is the second or third most popular character in the game. She's pretty much the concept of a Siren put into Mortal Kombat and just works. So it's really no surprise to me there was so much backlash when they decided not to add her in the beginning. They wouldn't put Sub-Zero in without Scorpion and that sounds so ridiculous people don't even entertain that as a possibility. Especially when Netherealm just brings characters back on a whim with magic nonsense anyway. I truly don't know what they were expecting not including one of the most popular characters in the games history and acting like it was just some impartial decision. I'm not behind the death threats however fan demand for Mileena was too high to not include her. And as much as I want to believe she was planned "from the start" I don't think she was. Kitana having Mileena's Sai's should be proof that they didn't have time to add her before the game launched and this was the best they could do with that time. Sure it takes months to make a character, but she wasn't planned from the beginning.
Yes not every Mileena Stan is toxic though not to mention I've seen WAY worse from Rain, Reptile, Smoke and Ermac Stan's why are Mileena Stan's the only ones being bashed?
I love mileena so much. She is my favorite character of all time. However I am disgusted with the stans. I don't like to call those people fans who threatened and harassed the devs, ed boon and everyone in NRS. And I don't like trolling but I'm glad he trolled the stans... they do not speak for us sane mileena fans. Thank you for another awesome video.
A fandom centred around a character being incredibly toxic and displaying behaviour you'd expect from a child yet it's done by people close to my age? Just another average day on the internet... unfortunately.
I mean, you gotta admit, it is admirable to scare a company so much to the point they are forced to add the character they kept demanding for lol. Then again NRS has grown very weak and submissive nowadays so it's not that big a surprise. mileena has always been my favorite character but god damn there are some people that take her way too far, which is why I seperate myself from them for a reason
How is it admirable? Or is it because it's being used for your favorite character? Would it not be admirable if the did that with a character you hate?
@@blyat8832 People need to really start understanding they did not bring Mileena back because of the threats or the whining. It was for one reason: sales. They needed to make their money off their last dlc for the game, so they added what they knew would make them the most. Otherwise, she would not have come back
I'm a more casual fan, but was really excited when they announced Rain and Mileena. When i started trying to learn mileena on MK11, i had such a hard time with her, and i thought it was just me. Now i know how difficult she is to make viable. I'm positive they did it to mess with the annoying Mileena fans
Bro mileena is one of my favorite characters in MK but that's what she is ...a game character. And to think people hand out death threats just over a fictional character
I feel like I'm in the same boat as you. I like her and I wanted her in, but was fine that she wasn't. The only thing that got a little under my skin was the 'She can't be in, she's died in X!' comments. Always replied with one word, 'Baraka,' and never got a reply lmao 🤣
For me it was so sad to see. Yes I’m a fan of Mileena. I enjoy playing as her but these other “fans” are just disgusting. Like harassment and death threats over a video game character? 🤦🏻♂️
I like Mileena, kid me loved anyone rocking Sais in a fight and she was fun to play. After seeing some of the behavior from the toxic bunch I liked her a little less afterwards. Especially when Boon was making tweets that had nothing to do with Mortal Kombat and those people (and other fanbases) thought tweeting their demands was somehow appropriate. I remained indifferent on if she was dlc or not - it wouldn’t ruin the game for me. Plenty of characters sit out a game or two, just makes me psyched for their return if I had any feelings invested in them. Her particular fan base I’ve met plenty of people who wasn’t foaming at the mouth and demanding she made her way into this game, or any of the previous games. I think all characters were planned from the start, Mileena included. The only one I’m curious or confused about was the whole: was or wasn’t Ash Williams happening as a guest. Obviously he ended up a didn’t happen. Death threats are definitely never the answer.
I mean... if my favourite character were ignominiously killed off by the developers' new Mary Sue and then brought back as paid DLC _and_ the worst character in the game, I'd be pretty mad. I'd feel incredibly ripped off. Sending death threats is just pathetic though.
Man i just liked her cause of her overpowered kicks in Deception. I just wished she was playable in MK11, wasnt sad when i learned the roster cause Skarlet and Frost were playable but not Milleena and just got happy when they added her later on. I didnt know shitshows like this was going on lmao
i think the reason why people like her (me too but as a fan not a stan) is because of the whole dark version of a character trope. like how people like shadow the hedgehog or goku black. make a more darker version of a character with good design and many people will flock towards them basically
I don't think Ed slipped up when he mentioned Rain and Mileena in that interview, I think he mentioned them because he knew that the MK fanbase wouldn't take it literally,I viewed that interview as Ed deconfirming Rain and Mileena as he's usually more cryptic and secretive which means that if he were to outright tell the truth no one would believe him (Sort of like reverse psychology,him telling the truth in that interview is the same as lying)
Honestly, I love Mileena as a character. Her design, her mannerism, her lore, her potential, and her moveset. Her and Johnny Cage are my favorite fighters in MK. But God, everytime I look through anything posted by either MK or Netherrealm, there's always so many people begging or threatening shit just for an ounce of Mileena in MK11. Glad those days are over now.
Oh jesus, I remember all that drama a couple years ago. Anyone else remember some dude who would spam ALL of Ed Boon’s tweets by constantly demanding classic arenas from the earlier MK games? 🤦🏻♂️
i wanted smoke and triborg. you could imagine how furious i was to see those sweet redesigns for sektor and cyrax go to waste. i wasnt a big mileena fan but i knew the hold she had on the fans
I felt the same way about the Ermac redesign. The suit looks so sweet on him and what did they do? Kelled him off in the krypt. But I do feel sorry for reptile fans. Not even a redesign, just to be killed for currency.
Video idea: Most underrated character Stryker Not only did this guy manage to beat reptile, but also mileena, kintaro, and even ermac. He took on cyber lin que assassin's without going down at all either. He was a tough cop and had a pretty good storyline even in mk9.

We should’ve got another 3D era character not a character people can play in most games
Also a Mileena fan and I agree with you completely. It is a shame that a bunch of toxic adult babies made such a wonderful character into an icon for online toxicity. Now if you tell someone you like Mileena they automatically assume you are one of those toxic creeps. Or at least there's that specter of that possibility. At least there's Sindel, oh wait.
Keep on hoping
Let's be honest, people who make death threats on the internet, are the biggest cowards on earth, if they were face to the person, they would be silent
Big facts 💯
@@IcyLights33 that depends. There are people who insult others even to their face. So their behavior online is not really due to cowardice or anonymity, but because the really are that way.
@@bloody4558 Those types are the first who would scream "Assault! Officer heljp!" if you smack them across their snot.
Some people, if not, most toxic people, mind you, are more bark than bite, not really willing to get themselves into trouble, but, evidence is still there, wether it be online or in person. It shows that humanity is slowly de-evolving. As some say “touch grass” don’t just do that, but also swallow air too.
@Lucifer In Hell
You gotta let that shit go
Imagine what would happen if they didn’t’ put scorpion or sub zero in the game I don’t think there would be death threats I think there would be death promises💀💀
nah not really they would be mad asf but cant touch mileena fans
That happened with MK3. Scorpion was missing whenever the first version came out of arcades apparently. Imagine if Twitter was around then😭😭😭

I had literally no idea about all this drama with Mileena. I just loved the idea of her. A royal was killed and usurped, the Queen and daughter behaved to stop anymore bloodshed. Kitana was a skilled warrior and royal but Shao wanted something of his blood born of Outworld.
So his Court Mage whipped up Mileena. Who I think is a perfect contrast.
Same. Some iterations I like more than others but her mythos is interesting despite how messed up it is.
Speaking of blood born, is it true Kahn was originally intended to be tarkatan.
@@e-roc6472 I’ve heard that. But I’m not sure if it’s true or just a rumor. I can’t remember when they made him inhuman but in 11 he looks like a tarkatan or one of those bipedal things they use as beasts of burden.
The shokkan have subspecies. Maybe Kahn was the chad equivalent to tarkatans bfore the retcons lol
1st time I noticed his 'face' was shaolin monks
@@e-roc6472 Maybe Shao is like the Draco category for the Shokans eg the top breed.
I’m also a mileena fan and I’m not toxic ….Ok but I just want mileena and kitana to work together and work out their differences…..imagine their power I also feel the female characters never get enough shine tbh
Right- they would eat so bad
Kitana and Mileena team up would definitely be awesome, and it would show that Mileena finally has acceptance from Kitana as a sister.🔥
Basically take that subplot from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 with Gamora and Nebula but with Kitana and Mileena.
@The Wolf King lol.
mileena didnt even wanna fight kitana in the first place 😭
I’ve got death threats, r*pe threats, death wishes, got called slurs etc. from Ermac, Havik, Rain, Reptile fans for just mentioning Mileena or having her on my profile picture MANY TIMES while I didn’t even act toxic or joked about her. All fandoms in the MK Community are toxic to be honest.
yea there'll always be some bad apples in a group
Exactly so I'm not getting why people keep calling out us Mileena fans and grouping us all together as the worst and most toxic fandom it's just not right Imo
Sounds more like your trying to excuse your own behavior
@@kennedy8926 you’re just trying to make the victim look like the guilty just because you don’t like Mileena fans and it shows.
@@xmanilx And you're not even acknowledging your own creed just going out and being all defensive. Says more about you than them
Her being the worst character in the game felt so poetic to me. You can have her, but she will not feel the same as before.
One of the worst
@@TreasBeauty
Shao Kahn had the best damage (despite being unsafe).
Skarlet was the main zoner (alongside robocop).
Dvorah had some of the best normals (excellent range).
Rain was a jack of all trades.
Kitana had low damage but her specials covered all her weaknesses.
Kung lao was the best punisher in the game.
And rambo had pretty much the coolest animations in the game.
What did mileena have? Beside pitifully ranged normals, recycled animations from injustice's cheetah, and laughable abilities?
@@themanwhosoldtheworld3284 and that’s why I said one of the worst
@@themanwhosoldtheworld3284 not only that if you really think about all her strings are unsafe and un awarding if you land them. For example back 1,1,2 is a mid with no range and ends with an high and if you land it you get no combo extender after, like imagine tele-kicking after the string. Also her recovery is really slow compared to most characters.
She’s the worst in terms of how fun she is to play. She’s incredibly boring
Mileena isn't just spicy because of how she dresses.
She's the only woman in MK that looks like she wants to be sexy rather than just being made that way.
And the way she acts not only makes sense story wise considering her abandonment from her sister Kitanna, her sorta father Shao Khan and creator Shang Tsung, but makes us feel like we could at least hang out with her and make her feel better.
Her whole appeal is that she wants love and attention.
And we want to give her that love and attention, even if she's purely fictional.
There's an horror movie about something like this. I don't remember the name, but the girl were a clear nod to Mileena. The man found a blonde weird and cannibal girl and adopt her. Then, they two started a incestuous relationships, led by her instincts, wich also lead her again to the cannibalism.
Someone may help with the movie name?
That’s the same with Anna from tekken which is the same reason why she also has a HUGE fanbase.
@@fabriciodesi I believe you're talking about that one episode of Masters of Horror (Jenifer)??
I'd make out with her.
@@fabriciodesi I know the movie you’re talking about. It’s Jennifer’s Body.
Not all Mileena fans are bad, but damn were the good ones fogged by that toxic cloud left by the others. Trolling is one thing against Lord Boon the master of trolls, but death threats...? You need to make people feel a fear you're probably feeling at home? get help.
I think people who make death threats should get a long time behind bars... that way they think twice before doing this... they are lucky they add mileena to the game. I mean like if they add her which they did great. if no then just wait lol

@@drwho9319Thats really creative lmao.
We just gotta think of a way to turn him into a cyborg. He snuck into the Lin Kuei headquarters maybe.
I am a huge Mileena fan & NOT one of the toxic ones that went to the extremes of harassment to the NRS team. If I remember correctly, if not Ed Boon himself then someone on the team had mentioned that Mileena was ALWAYS on board to be in MK11. They just kept her out longer to develop her story a bit more. It became almost like a running joke to the team as they already knew that she was coming. For Ed to troll the toxic fans the way he did made me believe that she would be in the game eventually. I always found it interesting how he trolled the Mileena community & NOT the others. THAT in itself was telling. I’m glad that she made it & I enjoyed her a lot in the game.
Is Mileena my favourite Mk character? Yes absolutely. Was leaving her out of Mk 11 a bad decision? I think so yeah. Does that mean anyone deserves death threats? Fuck no.

Like only for Mileena, the video honestly looks like stupid anti-Mileena propaganda. I'm so tired of this
1:27 I remember being so obsessed with the image on the right that I tried looking everywhere to find it online and use it as my wallpaper. I never succeeded.
I'm a Mileena fan as well and I agree with You. There's no need to be toxic if you like a characters. Actually I think it was a good decision to keep Mileena out of one MK installment because let's face it. At this point MK roaster is the most predictible thing on earth. I miss the days of 3D era where they made wild decisions about the roaster keeping a lot fo fan favourite out.
1:24 I thought that image was a fan made edit, I didn't realize that was official sort of, Damn, if only NetherRealm had the balls to do something like that
While Mileena eventually made it to MK11, I still miss my boy Smoke.

Great video, just one thing you forgot to mention that the haters were at times just as or more toxic than the stans, like that one time a guy posted a pic about naming his daughter Mileena and a hater responded by wishing death upon the child simply because her name is Mileena.
I just lost my dog and the fact that people would compare that pain to the disappointment of their favorite character not being added to a game is fucking disgusting to me.
I became a Mileena stan when MK Deception dropped. Her fatalities were amazing, her moveset was true to her character and creative, the design was probably her best
The one who became my favorite in Deception was Ermac. And MK9/10 did him so dirty, completely destroying all his previous character progression and making him just a puppet to Shao Kahn
Yep, Deception Mileena has the best outfit.
Same
saaaaaaaaame
Right there with you. Deception has always been my favourite 3D Era MK.
Would have been nice if you showed actual examples of the “death threats” from these toxic fans in your video about toxic fans making death threats.
Just take his word for it bro, it definitely happened. A youtuber said so
As much as I love Mileena and is one of my Favorites and sees the Potential of being a Dark Neutral Person with a Complicated Sisterly Relationship with Kitana like Gamora and Nebula and Weiss and Winter,but instead they treated Her like Bait and Turned the Fanbase Toxic and Ed and NRS are the Ones to Blame because accidentally or not they did it on Purpose and it's no Coincidence that she won every Award instead of other Characters in the Roster that deserve it the most,this is one of the Biggest Mistakes and Worst Things both Ed and NRS have ever done.
Netherealm/Ed boon never should’ve Put the mileena in the game
@@shadowfox2635 Especially if they weren't going to hire Strassman to do the voice acting. The new voice actress sucks as Mileena.
@@oldbutgold3374 I mean period she never should’ve been there period with how the fans acted he should’ve just said hell no
That intro made me laugh. I have a really dark sense of humor
When Milliena said in one of her intros that her fans cried gor her I didn't think she ment death threats.
I hate unlockable characters in fighting games so much, it's so stupid, no character should be locked, they should be free to play without trying to earn it
I was expecting this….
😂 that Kim Kardashian bit had me rolling
Honestly people administer death threats over anything. I learned that very early on.
This whole situation was a fever dream to me, as a mileena fan i was obviously repulsed by some of the stans who acted the way they did but i was also suprised at how many people also loved mileena.
I would argue MK fans in general are pretty toxic.
True. They really showed their ass during the past 2 years.
@@apophis7712 I love Mortal Kombat. Been playing it since the original game. But I honestly think social media hasn't been the best thing for it. From people making death threats about Mileena not being in the game to people stalking other people's posts because they (god forbid) liked Sindel's turn in Mortal Kombat 11 it's been a constant shit show. The endless arging over game mechanics, the toxic behavior in Kombat League over playstyles. Being subjected to racist and homophobic slurs over the mic. Like try that shit back in the arcade days and you would have gotten your ass beat in the middle of the arcade. It's pretty bad. And as a community we need to start acknowledging it and condemning it.

Mileena rocks, definitely the best character but they really let her down on MK11 and the latest film. Anyone seriously issuing death threats needs to rethink thier life choices but I understand the irritation
The irritation? ITS A NON-REAL CHARACTER and you say mileena the best character like its a fact, when she gets tossed to the side these days. Just like reptile
@@immortalbeast it's just called an opinion, there's plenty of people who like mileena but there's always going to be bad apples in a fandom
@@immortalbeast Are you serious?? IT'S THEIR OPINION, Shut up.
Personally, I don't think that mileena was intended to be added to mk11. Reason being that with the story. Remember, mileena did 'die' in the previous game, so her being there would be too much of a gap to fill. Especially with a story 3-4 hours long already. So that's my first reason.
Secondly when Ed made that slip up, remember that rain was already a dlc in a previous installment. So him saying mileena and rain in the same sentence would maybe him hinting at adding fan favourite dlc's not just mileena and rain, which wouldn't be a problem and that's coming from a smoke and ermac fan.
Third and final point, as you've stated mileena dresses too 'spicy' and following the controversy of mk9's female dressing too erotically they prolly wanted to minimize that as much as possible. But sadly, Ed Boon heard the fans cry and decided to add her. But there's room for debate.
[Edit] I didn't even think of commercial sales of the company. Thank you for pointing that out.
i would like to add that kitana already had the sais as a piece of gear which potentially means that that mileena was never intended to be in the game as her iconic sais were given to kitana

This is what you get by removing the spiciest character from the game. They have the biggest fan base.
The thing with me is that males are still overly sexualized appeasing gay men, and women and keeping the good guy fans of her in the dark.
Even though I’m about a year or more late, as a Mileena fan myself, I find it very pathetic how they acted. It’s almost, slightly embarrassing knowing that there are people who throw temper tantrums over the dumbest things
Every time I see MK9 skins, I just keep thinking “NRS could make so much Fucking money if they brought them back as dlc skins”
Nah they are scare because of the backlash if they do that SJW people try cancelled Ed boon
I just love Mileena's style using looks to lure her victims to a very spikey death
All of the female ninja characters always dressed spicy. I came to love them because of their abilities. Kitana, Jade, and Mileena's badassary drew me to them. Especially given that I first saw them in Shaolin monks...great introduction to the trio from a character standpoint
At this point I'd rather leave her out of the game rather than have her in yet being so rushed... like its so bad her mkx version is way better... i also dont associate with the toxic mileena fans, i just love mileenas misunderstood nature and that she deserves better, especially since being in mk11 kinda rules her out for mk12 which is even worse imo.. i wish they didnt listen to the toxic fans..

@@gwyneth-griffith.039 No
Nostalgic trip when you mentioned her being on the cover. Forgot I had the Raiden and Subzero editions(Xbox and PS2 respectively lol)
The only one not announced in MK11’s base roster that I was disappointed wasn’t available at launch (and never added in dlc) was Kenshi. He may the most fun I had with the game in 9(dlc) and X. I was glad to see Noob and Kabal though.
I’m so glad that these people don’t show up anymore.
I'm a Kitana fan, but even I know if you have Kitana, you have to have Mileena. It's like having Scorpion without Sub Zero. Like these games have those iconic characters with rivalries, so it's weird to see when NRS drops the ball. Mileena wasn't in MK5, Kitana wasn't in MK6 (just the PSP version), and Mileena was skipped in MK8. And then the last 2 live action movies have Sonya fighting Mileena for whatever reason.
You seem more like a Mileena fan, the way you go on.
Kitana can work just fine without mileena
Same thing with Sub Zero without scorpion
The old timeline proved this was possible however it does not work the other way around ...
I honestly believe they shouldn't have added Mileena. Not because I dislike the character, but because toxic behavior from a fandom should not go rewarded like this. It sets a dangerous precedent moving forward that all fans have to do to get their favorite character in the game is THREATEN TO FUCKING KILL the developers.
I remember Marvel getting death threats after killing off Spiderman in _Amazing-Spiderman_ #700. If something gets popular, odds are there will be some toxic people in the fandom.
I love Milleena but death threats aren't the way to show your love for a character.
This also happened to Rain fans a little. I remember an Ed Tweet where Rain and Mileena fans were both mentioned, but Rain fans were never at this level of insanity.
I fully admit that I'm a Mileena fan, but I do think what they did to her in MK11 was questionable... I mean, having her be DLC, and then not have her wear those revealing clothing that she's known for, and having in my opinion one of the worst voice changes I've seen/heard in a long time. However, I am not one of those toxic fans who resort to death threats if they don't get their way.
For me at least, whenever I want a specific character appear in a video game, I often give hints, or beg for them to appear. For example, when Super Smash Bros Ultimate revealed that there was gonna be DLC characters, two characters I begged for the most part to be part of the DLC were Dante from Devil May Cry, and Shantae from the series of the same name. And then, when the Round 10 Mii costumes were revealed, of which both Dante and Shantae were revealed as being Mii costumes, I was very upset. But not to the point where I would send death threats to the people of Nintendo. And I did ended up buying the costumes anyway.
So yeah, I am one of those fans who love to see my hopes and wishes to happen, but not to the point of doing something terrible that like a death threat.
an non toxic smash fan? cool i found one
My dawg didin´t said that kklmao hahahahahahah 1:21
For me it's Mileena (both versions), Sindel (midway), then Sheeva (both)... Twindel is Deception Lei Mei tier which is aight. Mk9 Skarlet and Ashara are honorable mentions for being cool.
Midway Sindel was so much better. NRS Sindel was so terrible
The fact that people seriously were saying and posting the equivalent of "Give us Mileena, or we riot." is quite a bit funny to me. The gaming community has always been rather much when they're unhappy about things.
Mileena is one of my favorites and I didn't accept that toxic behavior from these, in fact I had some doubts that she will not make it to the game at least not on the main roster.
Angry Mileena fans arguing with NRS devs for her not being in MK11 roster after her two apperances in a row were so funny from the perspective of Smoke fan.
Sometimes, people generalize the most toxic MK fans as "Edenian fans". 😑 as a Sindel fan, I disagree
Well, it’s not like we see other fans of other characters do wild shit on the daily, compared to the edenians.
Although, thank god there are actual edenian fans that are acc civil and don’t go fucking ballistic like the stans
@@nabilahmed579 agreed i understand that a lot of people will hate edenians/edenian players because they can be played in a cheesy way or because of how edenian players will act on twitter. yes i play them too but like not all of them act like crackheads on twitter or something 😂
@@nabilahmed579 For real though. This rarely if ever happens with other characters. So I’m wondering why these weirdos can’t just freaking behave
You're exactly right. It was a business decision. Expect it to happen every time from here on out. I would put money on next time it's Scorpion or Subzero.
I’m a hardcore Mileena fan since Deception but not fking crazy for her giving death threats to developers if she’s not added. Those people need to go outside
Mileena fans... oh, I can't stand them. I'd imagine Ed is tired of them, too. He literally threw Mileena into MK11 just to shut them up, and you can't tell me he did it for other reasons. It's literally just to get them off his back and stop them flooding literally every Twitter post he makes with their factually toxic influence. Their dreadful attitude has kinda ruined Mileena for me as well and think she shouldn't deserve to return if her fans are just gonna bombard Ed with death threats over not including their ugly queen.
Mileena is essentially the female Scorpion, and she was created as such. Mileena showing her "ugly" teeth is pretty much the exact same concept of Scorpion taking off his mask revealing a Skull. It's supposed to be shock value. I believe Ed even said she was basically the Scorpion to Kitana's Sub-Zero in an interview in MK Deception.
And character arc is fairly interesting and even relatable. Created for the purpose of replacing Kinata, she goes through an identity crisis of sorts. She constantly calls Kinata her "sister" and is surprised when Kinata kills her in several ending even canon endings (Mk4) even though Mileena apparently exist to kill Kinata. This could hint that Mileena is conflicted about killing Kinata. I think a lot of people resonate with what people expect them to do versus what they want to do and Mileena encapsulate that perfectly.
She's just a fairly interesting and compelling character and represents the mk brand very well in her concept in brutality and shocking contrasting teeth with her pretty body. To the point I believe she is the second or third most popular character in the game. She's pretty much the concept of a Siren put into Mortal Kombat and just works.
So it's really no surprise to me there was so much backlash when they decided not to add her in the beginning. They wouldn't put Sub-Zero in without Scorpion and that sounds so ridiculous people don't even entertain that as a possibility. Especially when Netherealm just brings characters back on a whim with magic nonsense anyway. I truly don't know what they were expecting not including one of the most popular characters in the games history and acting like it was just some impartial decision. I'm not behind the death threats however fan demand for Mileena was too high to not include her.
And as much as I want to believe she was planned "from the start" I don't think she was. Kitana having Mileena's Sai's should be proof that they didn't have time to add her before the game launched and this was the best they could do with that time. Sure it takes months to make a character, but she wasn't planned from the beginning.
I'm glad someone finally addressed this, not enough people know about the whole death threat thing
Yes not every Mileena Stan is toxic though not to mention I've seen WAY worse from Rain, Reptile, Smoke and Ermac Stan's why are Mileena Stan's the only ones being bashed?
Mileena was part of base roster in mkx but dlc in mk11 and rain was dlc twice. Thats how you know nrs is taking advantage of the kommunity
I have a disagreement, I mail them an angry letter, maybe pee in their mailbox. I DON'T send them death threats!
I love mileena so much. She is my favorite character of all time. However I am disgusted with the stans. I don't like to call those people fans who threatened and harassed the devs, ed boon and everyone in NRS. And I don't like trolling but I'm glad he trolled the stans... they do not speak for us sane mileena fans. Thank you for another awesome video.
A fandom centred around a character being incredibly toxic and displaying behaviour you'd expect from a child yet it's done by people close to my age? Just another average day on the internet... unfortunately.
I mean, you gotta admit, it is admirable to scare a company so much to the point they are forced to add the character they kept demanding for lol. Then again NRS has grown very weak and submissive nowadays so it's not that big a surprise. mileena has always been my favorite character but god damn there are some people that take her way too far, which is why I seperate myself from them for a reason
How is it admirable? Or is it because it's being used for your favorite character? Would it not be admirable if the did that with a character you hate?
@@immortalbeast it's admirable because they were able to bring a dead character back to life just by complaining lol. Cope and seeth
I mean, NRS might of had her planned beforehand as DLC and the backlash could of had no impact whatsoever.
@@blyat8832 People need to really start understanding they did not bring Mileena back because of the threats or the whining. It was for one reason: sales. They needed to make their money off their last dlc for the game, so they added what they knew would make them the most. Otherwise, she would not have come back
@@brendanclark1058 .. even though nrs confirmed that she was already planned to be dlc even before the Mileena fans did that shit lmao
Im a mileena stan and main and i believe sending death threats is just disgusting and unmature
Honestly Melina he always been more fun to play over kitana for me
No shit
@@hungrymonkeygames7429 tell that to sonic fox
@@wowhowbizarre8176 just cause you're good at it doesn't mean it's fun. I've been playing smoke (mkx) for about 2 years now and I hate him
In MKX for sure. She’s absolute trash in 11 though
Yess
Video starts at 1:00
I'm a more casual fan, but was really excited when they announced Rain and Mileena. When i started trying to learn mileena on MK11, i had such a hard time with her, and i thought it was just me. Now i know how difficult she is to make viable. I'm positive they did it to mess with the annoying Mileena fans
I’m stunned you stretched this into an 11 minute video.
Bro mileena is one of my favorite characters in MK but that's what she is ...a game character. And to think people hand out death threats just over a fictional character
I feel like I'm in the same boat as you. I like her and I wanted her in, but was fine that she wasn't.
The only thing that got a little under my skin was the 'She can't be in, she's died in X!' comments. Always replied with one word, 'Baraka,' and never got a reply lmao 🤣
I just want her in MK12 she deserves that she needs to be main roster
For me it was so sad to see. Yes I’m a fan of Mileena. I enjoy playing as her but these other “fans” are just disgusting. Like harassment and death threats over a video game character? 🤦🏻♂️
I like Mileena, kid me loved anyone rocking Sais in a fight and she was fun to play. After seeing some of the behavior from the toxic bunch I liked her a little less afterwards. Especially when Boon was making tweets that had nothing to do with Mortal Kombat and those people (and other fanbases) thought tweeting their demands was somehow appropriate.
I remained indifferent on if she was dlc or not - it wouldn’t ruin the game for me. Plenty of characters sit out a game or two, just makes me psyched for their return if I had any feelings invested in them. Her particular fan base I’ve met plenty of people who wasn’t foaming at the mouth and demanding she made her way into this game, or any of the previous games.
I think all characters were planned from the start, Mileena included. The only one I’m curious or confused about was the whole: was or wasn’t Ash Williams happening as a guest. Obviously he ended up a didn’t happen.
Death threats are definitely never the answer.
I mean... if my favourite character were ignominiously killed off by the developers' new Mary Sue and then brought back as paid DLC _and_ the worst character in the game, I'd be pretty mad. I'd feel incredibly ripped off.
Sending death threats is just pathetic though.
Man i just liked her cause of her overpowered kicks in Deception. I just wished she was playable in MK11, wasnt sad when i learned the roster cause Skarlet and Frost were playable but not Milleena and just got happy when they added her later on. I didnt know shitshows like this was going on lmao
i think the reason why people like her (me too but as a fan not a stan) is because of the whole dark version of a character trope. like how people like shadow the hedgehog or goku black. make a more darker version of a character with good design and many people will flock towards them basically
I don't think Ed slipped up when he mentioned Rain and Mileena in that interview, I think he mentioned them because he knew that the MK fanbase wouldn't take it literally,I viewed that interview as Ed deconfirming Rain and Mileena as he's usually more cryptic and secretive which means that if he were to outright tell the truth no one would believe him (Sort of like reverse psychology,him telling the truth in that interview is the same as lying)
"Have a decent fanbase or draw 25 cards"
Mileena: *draws the entire deck*
Honestly, I love Mileena as a character. Her design, her mannerism, her lore, her potential, and her moveset. Her and Johnny Cage are my favorite fighters in MK.
But God, everytime I look through anything posted by either MK or Netherrealm, there's always so many people begging or threatening shit just for an ounce of Mileena in MK11.
Glad those days are over now.
Oh jesus, I remember all that drama a couple years ago. Anyone else remember some dude who would spam ALL of Ed Boon’s tweets by constantly demanding classic arenas from the earlier MK games? 🤦🏻♂️
i wanted smoke and triborg. you could imagine how furious i was to see those sweet redesigns for sektor and cyrax go to waste. i wasnt a big mileena fan but i knew the hold she had on the fans
I felt the same way about the Ermac redesign. The suit looks so sweet on him and what did they do? Kelled him off in the krypt. But I do feel sorry for reptile fans. Not even a redesign, just to be killed for currency.
Video idea:
Most underrated character
Stryker
Not only did this guy manage to beat reptile, but also mileena, kintaro, and even ermac. He took on cyber lin que assassin's without going down at all either. He was a tough cop and had a pretty good storyline even in mk9.
