  • As a fixed point in time, Geras can see everything in the past and the future, which is why many characters ask him about what is going to happen to them in the future or if they want to know something that happened in the past. For some Geras answers, but for others he does not. He explains why in his dialogues.

      His answer is actually a very wise one, most relationships fail when there’s obstacles that either person, or both, aren’t willing to work through so he’s basically saying if your relationship will survive the obstacles that will arise only then will it be secure, if you can’t or are unwilling then it’s not secure

    "Spoilers, Johnny Cage"
    Love that line, that little playful banter is the perfect example as to why Liu Kang was the best decision to make Earthrealm's protector in this new story, he's basically your friendly neighbor who just so happened to be bestowed the power of the Hourglass. He treats people no differently and wants peace and redemption for everybody, even the villains. He lets mortals choose their own way and/or gives them a role perfectly based for them. (For example, Geras guarding the hourglass and Shang Tsung's life of lowly crime). By doing that alone mostly every one of the characters choose good and live peaceful lives, even Baraka and Reptile are not evil, but rather are collateral damage from the villain's antics. Liu Kang only interferes when absolutely necessary and uses his heart just as much as his mind when he makes decisions.

    Messing with time, obsessing over the past, and wanting to know the future, are all very dangerous things. Liu Kang and Geras are right to withhold information because such things are too dangerous. Destiny is decided and changed ultimately by your choices, as that is the sum of who you are.

That's just not what I play this series for. If you don't give me bloodshed and bad guys to fight, then why would I want to play a game called Mortal Kombat? If I wanted peace and happy times, I would play Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley. I play this so I can beat the tar out of characters with cool special moves.
      Whatever form the story needs to take to make that happen, I'm down with it. Just as long as it's not constant mewling about peace and happiness. That's like the one thing this franchise doesn't need. Or at least, not too much. Save that stuff for the character's non-canon tower endings. Canonically, I want characters to have reasons to hate each other and beat the fuck out of one another.

    At 3:19 Sindel asked Geras if there were Keepers of Time before Kronika, and I found his answer to be very interesting. Geras stated there was one before her, meaning two things
    1. Kronika is an artifical titan. In my opinion, artificial titans are those who obtain the power of a titan from a original titan. It's possible that the power of an original titan will decrease every time its transferred, which imo, sounds really cool.
    2. Kronika had a partner who she erased. It's been stated by Liu Kang when he beat Kronika before the whole aftermath story that he couldn't shape the sands alone. In past timelines, Kronika use Cetrion and Evil Geras to help her shape time, and Liu Kang would have used Raiden's or Kitana's help in the main story, before aftermath came and Fujin, Shang Tsung, and Nightwolf appeared to stop them bc they didn't have crown of souls. And even after aftermath, when Liu Kang defeats Shang Tsung and restarts history, he uses Good Geras' help. So, its possible Kronika had a partner who she betrayed, took his power, then erased by restarting history after she learned how to wield the sands properly, resulting in her trying to get her "golden balance of good and evil."

    • @loganlockheart6286
      @loganlockheart6286 Před 10 měsíci +1

      I can honestly see both of those being truths, the way I see it is, that there was the First Titan that we don't know a whole lot of other then what Geras tells, Having made Kronika, they worked on the hourglass and the Titan teaching Kronika how to wield the power, the more she would learn how it works, the more her obsession of her "Golden Balance of Good and Evil: Starts to arise, maybe the Titan tried to warn her about having a strict rule or the effects of restarting it over and over but her obsession was too much and used the hourglass, because if what i'm thinking is true Kronika had made Geras originally to help her and the First Titan out with the hourglass but after she erased the Titan she had Geras take his place before she had Centrion and Shinnok, and while she would restart time over and over again, Geras would just watch until the event's of MK11 and MK Aftermath when either Liu Kang took control.

      It was probably Onaga as it seems even Liu Kang lacked the power to exclude him from the new timeline, as did Kronika. That would explain why Kronika likely sent Raiden's message in MK9 back along with visions of his future through his amulet in order to prevent Armageddon without needing to reset the timeline completely. That choice may be why Kronika didn't just reset again after Shinnok died so easily in MKX.
      Or it could be a nod to Ed Boon.

      You are correct a hundred percent here is my take on what's going down on this version of the Tarkatens.
      Your comment sparked this so forgive for the long read in advance.
      I think whatever made them WAs sent them to this New era and so it just might be an unstable or maybe early version of the mutation or "the virus" or perhaps even evolution But the nature of Demonic things and or magic is sometimes Presented outside the rules of time and space so whatever it maybe might be Might be Elder god or whatever outworld has within the realm. For all we know the prisoner might be behind it partly? since he is a demon himself. I speak of Corse of Onaga. At least In my opinion who is to blame? But
      There is one other factor, as they said within the story. "YOU MUST Destroy to create". So What if that event Is much later in this timeline for Baraka's People? There are so many possibilities it is insane. In other words, whatever originally made them what they are Is finally rearing its head now as if they were meant to be this way it might be like a hard point in time that can't be changed or Destroyed. Like the Flash's logic only Prolonged the inevitable.
      To top it all off, this event only started to happen when there was Kombat with evil afoot But that could also be wrong because there is no established timeline when it began.
      This is based on past lore and Opinion. formed from looking outside the looking glass of how magic and time works to my understanding in fictional worlds, but we well see how it all unfolds and this is just Theory (a game theory) ahm... anywho XD .
      This all stims from the one to two backstory One of mutation hybrids
      But what might break this theory is Kitana-Twin sister whom is natural born and not a clone this time around.
