LOL it was a valid critique until MK11/1 which is what I alluded to when I said they're better now. But to act like these designs are some next level unforgettable shyt while saying everyone else's stuff looks like 1990s action movies is such an oddly specific and hilarious insult to make when that was and still is LITERALLY the actual design inspiration for Mortal Kombat characters.
Outside of MK hardcores most people couldn't tell these characters apart if they were in a black and white picture. The men/women are relatively the same build, height, up until recently the scope of cultural inspiration was very limited, and the list goes on. If you wanna say MK has the highest graphical fidelity or sells the most copies or has the best single player content, by all means. If we tellin tall tales you might as well tell me it has the best animation in the genre too.
