    Isn't Sonja Blade in her 40s (almost 50s) in the new MKs? Cassie Cage is a full-grown woman and unless A Sonja had her when she was under 20 (ew). If anything, Sonja Blade should be older looking.

      There's been a bunch of time travel alternate universe restart shenanigans. The entire MK timeline has been reset or something.

        Ya I remember they did that in 10. But that one also had Cassie, so Sonja and Johnny were aged up.

          People complained about it but I actually loved how Johnny Cage developed as he became more and more of a dad. Like, they actually made a version of Johnny Cage I liked by the end of Raiden's Era.

            I didn't finish the MKX storyline, but I thought the Cage family dynamics was a decent enough story, especially for a fighting game.

              Honestly, when the only other family-related storyline we've gotten in the FGC is "jesus christ someone needs to break up the Mishima Zaibatsu so these mfs stop dropping each other down volcanoes", the Cages look downright wholesome ad nontoxic in comparison

        Yeah, Liu Kang's now in the Blunder God's position and I can't wait to see how he fucks it up lmao

        (I miss Cassie, Jacqui especially. Takeda got to come back; but none of the other Kombat Kids yet...)
