Is it just me, or do the tropes listed on this page seem weirdly hostile towards Sub Zero? Of the 23 tropes listed here, six of them—Contested Sequel, Replacement Scrappy, The Scrappy, Scrappy Mechanic, They Changed It, Now It Sucks! and They Wasted A Perfectly Good Plot—are how about Sub Zero sucks in some way. That's roughly a quarter of all the tropes, for a game that has pretty decent reviews on Metacritic, PC Gamer, Steam, etc. Obviously nobody should required to automatically praise anything that shows up on TV Tropes, but it does feel a bit one-sided.
Is it really accurate to list Maida and AL-AN as The Scrappy? From the fan discourse I've seen, Maida is more like a Base-Breaking Character, and AL-AN doesn't seem particularly disliked at all.
