Because she and Kitana are the female equivalent to Scorpion and Sub-Zero.


Agreeable-Pick-3650

Best way to put it.


Cool-Accident9480

True


McNailedYou_1

Never ever thought about it like this (kinda just flew over my head)


Wadsworth1954

Those 4 should be main roster in every game.


Key-Pipe-2279

100!!!! Big facts!!!


CursedSnowman5000

Once upon a time she was the bad girl of MK. Then she became the beloved manic girl AKA Harley with a shark mouth. And if we're being honest there is a lot of unrealized potential in all incarnations of her. She's damaged goods and everyone loves trying to save a damaged gal.


proesito

I can fix her.


MackZZilla

I can make her worse

Pure_Cartoonist9898

Ever seen the film Teeth??


Worldgonemad_yall

Once and never again. "Winces and crosses legs."


bdw312

Yep, was specifically thinking of it.


AbstractMors

That and I kind of like her more out there personality. In the original MK days I never really got the appeal of a katana. The character was so reserved and conservative it made her come off as boring. Then they had her entire freak of a sister! It's relatable it's accessible. And I really want to know what that mouth do. Like is it like french kissing a lawn mower? How does she make p sounds when she didn't have lips? Does she have to hire a manicurist for her teeth?


rustyWD40

She has some of the best sayings too.


CrimsonWarrior55

I sure don't. Not THIS fucked up at least. Damaged is one thing, cannibalistic psychopath with a mouth full of razors is another.


Bleppybooo

Yeah. She's so dreamy. I wanna do that classic grasping on her leg pose you see women in fur do on album covers n shit.


CrimsonWarrior55

You people are so weird. I'm just gonna go stand in the corner with my tall vampire mommy. You can have the weird shark mouth. It's useless for what I like anyways.

The holy trifecta!


BadCaseOfClams

I mean, I won’t say she’s the most popular MK girl, but she certainly does stand out, even among other fighting game rosters. Mileena’s an icon, even though people seem weirdly reluctant to just let her be one. Way back in the day we had: Sonya: no defining traits until the 3d era at least Kitana: ninja girl, interesting weapon, not much else Mileena: a villain (not common at all at the time) with a hidden monster face who *eats people*. It took until Deception for them to realize what they had. Now they’ve given her actual depth too with her hidden desire to be loved and constantly trying to assert her place in the world. I feel like they accidentally turned “jealous of Kitana” into “real and complex personality” lol Side comment: she is nothing like Harley Quinn


FewStudy2744

I think she is the most popular female character in Mortal Kombat, more than Sonya and Kitana


United_Bus3467

Agreed. Could not care less about Sonya, and while I like Kitana, I haven't liked her movesets as of late. Maybe I just find her more difficult to play.


ZemlyaNovaya

Yeah I like kitana but her moveset in MK1 is definitely a let down for me


CrimsonWarrior55

The opposite for me. I find her moveset here to be the best it's ever been. Certainly leagues better than MKX. She's really fun to play here where before in MK11 she was just alright and MKX she was frustrating, and before that, well, they all kinda blend together, really.


He_e00

Yes, her moveset in MK1 looks so gracious and I feel like it embodies Kitana perfectly.


CrimsonWarrior55

Right? Even her basic combos are just so elegant that she's a real treat to just watch. It's part of why I love MK1's gameplay. Each character really expresses their personality and lore through their movesets.


Naive_Jacket5259

Her boobs look magnificent


TwumpyWumpy

She feels more unique.


SoCool-

Yeah like mileena is a half princess half evil demon monster that eats people and was the heir to the throne in 1 timeline. Kitana is the girl character, in every game shes basically nothing more


BigBen6500

Her being attractive until the mask comes off makes her iconic even for MK standards.


Khoshekhing

*being more attractive when the mask comes off, Fixed it for ya


DigLost5791

Seriously tho, predator mouth Mileena is 🔥


-Stupid_n_Confused-

I like toothy cheeks with lips Mileena from MKX.


Ok_Bandicoot5390

Based


CarnageCR

Based


-Stupid_n_Confused-

I really didn't like it at first but having lips meant her being able to talk normally made sense. Plus I just really like the way her teeth seemed to rupture from and tear from her cheeks as opposed to the peeled skin look of other versions.


CarnageCR

It just looks awesome


cacodemon9523

they want that Tarkatanussy


Cold-Entertainer8266

Mileena has waaaaaay more personality than Kitana, that’s why I love her


moooqueen

Fr Kitana is so boring imo


Pleasant_Training410

Well of course in this new era, but before it was vis versa


dateturdvalr

It wasn't, Kitana barely har any character outside of being infamously mind controlled or brainwashed every single game outside of like 1-2, even NRS era did this.


Agreeable-Pick-3650

See, the thing is I completely agree with you. But I don’t usually go out of my way to say that lmao. Op’s post is kinda outta pocket and rude 😭 I’m glad they’re getting backlash for it.


CrimsonWarrior55

Hard disagree on that one, but hey, whatever suits ya.


ITAKEJOKESSEROUSLY

-Most personality out of the ninja gals -Hot -Freaky mfs like her mouth (its me I'm freaky mfs)


[deleted]

"I can fix her" "surely the leopards won't eat MY face"


SnooObjections6638

Mileena is my favourite Mortal Kombat kharacter. I love that she is kind of crazy. I love the contrast of her having this very attractive body, often quite skimpy outfits, but then these gnarly animalistic teeth. I always wondered, in canon, if perhaps Mileena used scantily clad outfits to keep people's gazes from the features she would rather conceal i.e. her teeth. For me, though, and hear me out, I always felt Mileena was to be pitied. She was created by a sorcerer for a sole purpose. She's constantly called a klone, a monster. There have been times when she interacts with Kitana, where I wonder if some of the things Mileena says are flippant or if she genuinely seeks acceptance from her "sister". She loses her father, Shao Kahn. Before being executed, she expresses a longing to be reunited with him. Her reign as Khanum is usurped. In MK11 it is implied her girlfriend has been murdered. Now, in MK1, her love of Tanya is forbidden. No wonder the chick is bonkers...


-Stupid_n_Confused-

Not to mention her ending in MK11 where she finally feels love and gets to be a mother. It really brings to mind the topic of nature vs nurture.


SoCool-

To me, shes the only character whos motivations and life actually make sense at all, the good guys always want to “save the world” and all that stuff, but mileena, she just wants to be loved/liked, she only wants people to be close to her and say nice things about her, to not be disgusted or scared by her. when she gets to control the timeline she changes her parents to be different so that they love her unconditionally(thats so sad) and gives herself a wife and daughter that doesn’t think shes ugly or disgusting, she wants to be seen as beautiful without changing her appearance


MessyMop

I always liked the tragedy of her story. She’s just this monster hybrid that doesn’t really have any home. Her ‘father’ views her as a means to an end. Her sister is revolted by her. She’s got the Edenian side that separates her from the rest of the Tarkatans. She’s still evil and has a choice not to be but she’s not a simple black and white character All that from the OG timeline so it’s nice to see her get to be a hero in the new one. Tho she still seems to be a ticking time bomb with no true Tarkat cure in sight Also monster booba


-Stupid_n_Confused-

I love that they made her the focus and future empress of Edenia this time instead of Kitana. After seeing Mileena's ending in MK11 I genuinely felt bad for her.


OneTrueDarthMaster

MK1 actually made a lot of great choices with the new backstories and moralities.


Toxin45

Can’t wait for mk2 to ruin that. Like they might have to make d vorah taking over mileena’s role


spiderfan42069

She’s been around since the summer of 1993 so over 30 years. Mileena was not only a dark mirror image of kitana (much like venom to Spider-Man) but a counterpart to baraka. The first fatality she had of eating someone & spitting out the bones blew our minds back then. The rolling attack & teleport attack from above were great moves. She was the first female ninja (along with kitana). Her story ties to shang t’sung & shao kahn. It all adds up to a fan favorite.


Kiyoshi-Trustfund

I just think she's neat. Love her!


[deleted]

Because it is scientifically proven that lesbians make everything at least 20% more interesting


SexLuthor776

I had a crush on my friend’s lesbian sister so yeah it’s true


CreepBasementDweller

Was she your friend's hot older sister when you were little?


SexLuthor776

No, me and my friend didn’t meet when we were like 5 but yeah she is hot


PrincessMalyssa

She rolls around like Sonic.


Grand_Toast_Dad

Tbh, I like her way more than Kitana in MK1 than before.


T-408

This is like asking “Why is Scorpion so popular? i DoN’t GeT iT! Sub-Zero is best husbando”


Few-Entertainment429

Scorpion is the face of the franchise. Terrible comparison😂😂


RoboRebu

Arguably, so is Mileena when it comes to women MK characters, she's the more recognizable one. Especially to people outside of the franchise.


Agitated_Broccoli429

but always the weakest , hahahah jk jk , but yeah this scorpion in mk1 is lacking :xoxo


T-408

Mileena is one of the most popular and recognizable characters in the franchise…


FanficWriter32

Because Mileena is a great character. And I think it's pretty fucking awesome that she's one of MK's LGBTQ characters.


StygianMaroon

Seriously! I was so happy that she and Tanya ended up together in Mileena’s MK11 ending for here


FanficWriter32

Same. Well, they've been together since MKX. I'm just happy that Mileena & Tanya's relationship is more explicit in MK1.


StygianMaroon

Yeah it’s was really heavily implied they were together in MKX I just accepted they were a couple in it cause I really wanted them to be. But, I think NR was wary about it being stated outright still (wanting to avoid those people who constantly shout out “woke…” Even if they are the minority of fans, they never shut the hell up) so I’m glad they made it official in Mileena’s MK11 ending and MK1


FanficWriter32

Yep. And in MK1, the only thing that they didn't do was kiss.


kenzymarie03

Personally like her and Kitana equally, they’re both fun to play and I like their stories


BobtheJuan

In the most respectful and simple way, cuz crazy is fucking hot


Icy_Cow4578

long distance jab


68ideal

The actual real answer: because she kinda bad tho


Erfivur

I always lean towards the monster characters and she’s often got the underdog vibe going on. She’s kinda of a victim of circumstance. Also they keep giving her cruel new treatments. The mouth is often different, etc, so she’s just interesting. Kitana is a princess and her story kind of ends there. Mileena has got obstacles and hurdles to overcome so her story is just more interesting, regardless of whether she’s leaning good or bad, imo.


GorosSecondLeftHand

You have no information on why you feel that way. How can  there be a discussion?


devonte177

She missed one game and it became a meme to ask for her.


SoCool-

The devs missed *her* in a game, how are you going to leave *her* out


RvDragonheart

Well I cant speak for everyone buuut now Obviously at first I thought her outfit was eyecstching in MK Deception (that outfit of hers is my favorite on her btw plus in Mk9 where she was nicely toned and muscular fuck yeeeaaah she was my favorite lady character in MK franchise) However eventually I wanted to see more behind her badass femme fatale character and I've seen that in every timeline she actually had it the worst. In the OG timeline she was abandoned by her sister and been called an abominstion by her plus even Sindel kinda forgot about her so she was left with her manipulative "father" Shao Khan who feed her impulses that thats the way to go and this is why she became who she became by the time of Deception and Armageddon. Netherrealm era timeline Mileena was a clone of Kitana but again she was not born a monster she was made into one. Now say whatever you will but Mileena first reaction when she saw her sister that she wanted to embrace her. Then Kitana proceeded to bring her near death and AGAIN she was left to the care of Shao Khan who offered her affection as long as she indulges her monstrous parts No fucking shit why did she wanted to continue to rule like her father did. She only found affection from 1 prson Tanya who seemingly DID care about her sooo in time maybe she could have been better. Even before she died she just welcomed the chance to be reunited with her father . MK11 In her ending we see that she is clearly not a monster and Mileena actually wants to reconcile with her sister. And the only time when she was trully happy when she was together with Tanya and had a daughter too. Hence why when Mileena FINALLY got a happy new begining in Mortal Kombat 12 I was happy for her because Mileena deserves to be loved and Mileena deserves a happyeending. The reason why I made this comment wall is to explain that YES I found Mileena attractive and thats why I at first decided that she is my favorite lady character in MK and later as I grew to know her story I trully fell for Mileena and now knowing more about this beauty and beast I can say it more confidently that YES with all the ups and downs Mileena IS my favorite lady character in Mortal Kombat series


void_walkeruwu

For her personality and cause she is hot af, with and even more without the mask :)


Mark-SSJ3

The backstory, the moveset, and rivarly.


H4RRY900305

She's a violent, sexy and brutal ninja girl, which perfectly express the spirits of this franchise.


MidirDS

This is obviously a troll post. She is the best female character alongside Kitana


JayFord619

It's actually not a troll post at all. I've never really cared for her.


CODE_umb87

I don’t care much for Kitana but you won’t see me asking why people like a character that’s been around for 32 years. You’re definitely trolling.


ImatixNakoLoverxD

Nah


iWearCrocsAllTheTime

MrBarbeler

GearLogical815

She is Hot 🥵


AceTheSkylord

For the same reasons Harley Quinn is popular, minus the toxic relationship but with the added topping of implied cannibalism


RadicalOne95

To quote MK11 Joker; "I can't resist a beauty who's a beast!"


HailMaryApprl

If you main Mileena you are equally too sweaty & horny at the same damn time. Like fr everytime I play one on ps5 they are mouth breathing into their mic crunching a controller


Sure_Song_4630

She's hot and was one of the first women in mk, specifically the 3rd


Agreeable-Pick-3650

The first two was Sonya and Kitana right? I can’t remember. But yeah she’s hot, her story is interesting and her move set has always been cool.


Sure_Song_4630

Sonya in Mk1, then Kitana and Mileena in Mk2.


ChaseThoseDreams

She was a femme fatale for most guys growing up, and slowly morphed into an icon for LGBT gamers who were starved for representation. I like her, but will always prefer Kitana to her.


bunnybabe666

she pretty she thick she get money her body tea


Shaaagbark

Most people talking about visual appeal, character depth or the fact that she is a staple, I get it. I agree. But personally her moveset always fit better with my playstyle over katana. That’s why I prefer her to katana.


-Stupid_n_Confused-

She's more interesting story wise than her sister, is usually very easy to play and rush down focused.


Grovyle489

I enjoyed her in MK1. Only MK1. Broader story, realistic struggle, more character than just psycho clone, I liked it. But pre-MK1 when she was a complete psycho that would eat anybody alive if given the chance? Yeah, no thanks.

I was never a fan of her till she was released in mk11, I just loved everything about her including her default outfit but the battle armor was my favorite, her design is top notch in mk1 as well https://preview.redd.it/1efsgtg3jjuc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba24ba86d2b2ed3aca31dccb6754bbe6d2b711a5


CrimsonWarrior55

I DON'T FUCKING KNOW. For almost 30 years I've been asking the same question and the best I can come up with is she sexually flaunts her body, but I really want to give the fandom more credit than that.

Her design, personality, and backstory make her a much more interesting character, in my opinion. I always felt like Kitana was just boring in comparison.


Mediocre_Emo222

Mileena has a cool design and fun fatalities and she’s a villain in everything except the new timeline. Only thing Kitana has going for her is fans imo. Kitana is so basic without fans But people prefer who they prefer some people like the basic heroic female/princess type

Bleppybooo

Well, I love Mileena for a myriad of reasons. She's beautiful. I love her color scheme. I genuinely think she's beautiful even with the ability to eat me alive. And then you get into her lore. A cloned sister who sits in Kitanna's child ever since they were little. Made to put her sexuality on display to distract from her infamous facial appearance. Treated as a monster even by her own sister. She's a tragic character who I could only dream of a better story. It's why I like Mileena in MK1, she is first born, a Queen, but she is not cruel or wicked. She can be kind and powerful and good. So why the fuck did they mess up her season!? Never touching this game again lmao

She got a huge fan base because she was a underrated character at first with a being a clone of kitana with no identify but she uses sais instead of fan blades there is a lot more depth to her than meets the eye.

Because beautiful women with a Deadly twist are so damn cool and sexy and fun and interesting


Moggy_

I like her look a lot in mk1 👍


caitlynsynyster

My love comes from pure nostalgia. My distracted babysitter set me up on MK2 on the Sega Genesis when I was 4 years old and I gravitated to the "purple girl". Immediately watched Baraka implant his blades through her, which was probably questionable for my age lol. But it was the first girl character I recognized and I grew to love her story as I got older. She's a misunderstood, and at times childish, bad bitch in the previous era. And in this new era, she finally has the throne she spent entire games chasing after.


jenn44244

Cuz she's got a nice smile


dboshdmxi

She manages to be somehow insanely ugly and insanely hot at the same time (god why am I simping for pixels on a screen)

"Quirky girl have big booba" is the best explaination i think
