    I like that Geras actually agrees to an extent that perhaps Liu Kang shouldn't meddle with individual destinies so acutely. Liu Kang, even when nigh omnipotent, was not completely above prior prejudices, and yet actually has the introspection to acknowledge them as another reason to step down from Keeper of Time. Puts a human touch on divinity.

    • @XXMatt0040XX
      @XXMatt0040XX 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +60

      Their interactions have this tensity to them, and I can't shake the idea Geras exists specifically because Liu Kang began to succumb to madness.
      Maybe there's a timeline Geras doesn't know about, since he didn't exist then. I think we're going to find out Liu Kang's made many mistakes. I mean they hadn't seen each other in *eons.* That's... odd to me.

      @@XXMatt0040XX There's an intro with Smoke that I feel really emphasizes the underlying poison to controlling the Hourglass; "Some threads have to be cut to weave time's fabric."
      So, we know Smoke's family was killed, and he was adopted by the Lin Kuei. And Liu Kang must have foreseen that, and yet it still happens, because it ends up being more productive to the grand scheme that Smoke is a Lin Kuei; perhaps Smoke saved his brothers on a few occasions, or his future loyalty to Scorpion's Shirai Ryu was essential to the clan's survival. So Liu Kang was forced to concede that an innocent mother and sister had to die so protectors of Earthrealm had a better chance, and he would have to make similar choices across so many other lives and realms.
      Yeah, I can see how that's horrifying and would crush someone's soul over multiple timelines. Kronika just gave up entirely on individuality and tried to force everything into a balance, and Titan Shang Tsung was just sociopathic to begin with so he wouldn't care so long as everything was catered to his whims.

      @@ES-dp6tw Yeah, that's made me believe a few things.
      Bi-Han will always go bad, and Scorpion *always* exists in one form or another. We know Quai Liang is more powerful than Bi-Han, it's always been that way. By making Quai Liang Scorpion, we have the most *busted* Scorpion of all time. Only his Deception counterpart compares, where he's literally amped by the Elder Gods to stop Onaga.
      And this Scorpion almost stopped Onaga, Shang Tsung, Shao, Havik, and Bi-Han. *In one chapter.* Go rewatch what he does, it's actually insane.

      I feel the point would be better if it came from someone other than Shang Tsung, since for the most part Liu Kang's meddling turned out for the better, and in another intro Geras cuts him off and states he only has himself to blame for his sorry state before his Titan counterpart found him.
      Two things I've noticed is that both Liu Kang and Geras place a lot of blame on Raiden, judging him without taking into consideration that he didn't have the foresight or prior knowledge they did, and even at his worst as Dark Raiden he never went after anyone who didn't deserve it. Liu Kang also comes from the second timeline, and this shows in some he assumes that Sindel was possibly always evil and Shao's partner in crime.

    I like finally *meeting* Jerrod; he's always been kinda like The Great Kung Lao; mythical in a way. But that's literally just because we never see him. Not even in Deception, where we were the most likely to.
    Jerrod is *clearly* the least imposing looking of the royal family. He just looks like a regular guy. But that obviously doesn't mean *weakest.* The dude's will is so strong he dominated a freshly made *Ermac.* And instantly knew how to use his power as Ermac.
    I love the idea of Outworld's King, who everyone loved and mourns still, wasn't this *massive* figure, but just a dude. Obviously he must have been really powerful; make no mistake. This is *appearance* based.
    Edit: I need to make a point of this; *I'm not saying he was weak. I'm saying appearances can be deceiving; and I really like Outworld's most respected ruler embodying that trope.

    • @ES-dp6tw
      @ES-dp6tw 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +29

      Agreed. Even if he hasn't technically gotten over his habit of dying before the story begins, that he made an effective comeback and demonstrated his grit and loyalty is commendable. His brief interaction with Liu Kang, fondly reuniting with his old friend and boldly declaring they'll handle this crisis like all the others, leads one wondering just how they started their camaraderie and what challenges they faced before.
      As you say, he definitely left a lasting legacy. Sindel clearly isn't as fond of Liu Kang as her husband was but upholds Jerrod's respect for him, to the point of permitting Li Mei a spot in the tournament, and even the likes of Shao or Reiko never directly besmirch him.

      Liu Kang must have done some something *insane.* Whether it's a show of force, sealing Onaga himself, whatever. We know that Mileena's 10,000 years old. We know she's only heard legends of Onaga. Shao *clearly* was around for Onaga. So there's a lot of things you can extrapolate from it.

How delusional one can be. And Shao dares talk to Liu kang as to why he interferes in Outworld's business. Like he hasn't seen how Shao ruins the realms time and again. ANd the audacity to plunge Outworld into constant war and thinking he is more suited to rule it, the self delusion is off the charts.

      I travel far, and try and save
      Sorry but your princess isn't here
      I take a rest, I push the pause
      Level up, and move along
      In hopes that the next stage I will clear
      (I fucking passed asshole!)
      I'm just trying to keep from dying
      It's just a game that we play
      And for heaven's sakes
      Looking for a better way to play it!
      Life is for keeping score and forever more
      Stop complaining and start changing it
      Today I went to therapy
      Told him my embarrassing
      Issues that I'm having with my life
      He told me that I need to change
      Life is not a video game
      So stop playing and open up your eyes
      I'm just trying to keep from dying
      It's just a game that we play
      And for heaven's sakes
      Looking for a better way to play it!
      Life is for keeping score and forever more
      Stop complaining and start changing it
      Don't talk about it
      Just be about it
      Don't ever doubt it even when your brain is clouded
      I may be crazy
      But life's amazing
      And through it all and even with your problems facing
      So just know that it's okay
      My life is like a video game
      Trying hard to beat the stage
      All while I am still collecting coins

      It's just a game that we play
