    One big missed opportunity.
    I think having Taven being clueless hurt his character depth.
    It would have been awesome to have him say things like:
    "Lin Kuei? The Lin Kuei I know do not wear those colors" (Referring to the crimson tunics from the Lin Kuei's grand masters).
    "The Black Dragon? You mean that small gang of bandits from Earthrealm?"
    "A Shaolin named Kung Lao? The one I know wears a bandana, not a hat."
    He could have been asleep from right after the Mortal Kombat that the Great Kung Lao lost.
    At least he could have been up to date with Mortal Kombat post Outworld's first victory.
    Calling Reptile a "Lizzard" instead of a Zaterran or Saurian since I think back when Taven was born, Zaterra would have still exist. Little details like that could have built up the character of Taven much more.
    Taven may as well have been born right there. Being clueless only knowing his brother and Raiden disconnected him from all previous games.
