Geras out here giving the realest advice

He sounds a lil annoyed cause it doesn’t matter anyway

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

couple counselor geras ftw

You are and always will be the sum of your choices. Knowing the future can either change it horribly or lock you into it. It's too dangerous to know and better that you simply make the right choice when the time comes.

Though if it prevents bigger mistakes, it might be worst the risks

@@Tuturial464 This assumes that it would indeed prevent a more significant mistake. Remember, Geras can see all of the time, both the current Timeline and the past ones. The man is, for all intents and purposes, all-seeing, so if he refuses to not tell the future, best assume that it is a good idea.

​@Tuturial464 it's not always a guarantee that the event prevent is better or worse then the event that spawns from it being prevented

yea as lord whis-sama always says times changes very quickly which is why time travel is banned lol.

"if i tell you what happens, it wont happen" maybe a bit cliche but i like that approach to time keeping

well, to be honest, its his job.

Best part is even Liu Kang recognizes it. He said he would make Geras his successor.

right I mean look at raiden when he always tries to depend on time mk 9 and look where that got him. so I can understand why they cant give info easily lol

@@ladyriethegoldendelmo5441 Mhm. Raiden was so obsessed with what "He must win" meant that it resulted in him making terrible decisions that resulted in the deaths of way too many characters.

Respectfully, I disagree. This is Mortal Kombat. It thrives in conflict and strife. Happy endings are for fairy tales. We need betrayal, chaos, warfare, grabs for power and endless fighting. That is what this series is known for and what it needs to survive. A happy life should be temporary only, because to give one to a character permanently is tha same as killing them in this game

@@Xylarxcode Problem with that is that mindset is WHY MK had to be rebooted several times.

@@0axis771 I would rather have reboots of the timeline that allow me to beat the living snot out of other characters than have to endure the drivel of peacemaking and happy endings. 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.

I don't think it's contradictory just Geras saying that they would stop Shao.

Yeah, if it's not written, then Shao could achieve it.

​@@CelticVictoryHe could, but that doesn't mean he will.

It's not. In the previous one, he said story wasn't written. In that one, he said shao wouldn't, as in they weren't gonna let him

I hope so. As much as I like her, Ashra did feel a tiny bit tacked on, the way she appears randomly and conveniently for the story to progress :D

The fact that both Ashrah and Reptile were nowhere to be found in the story mode's last act is probably my lone issue with how it unfolded.

That or the one being you know that Godly being who essences made the realms

Or it’s a roundabout way of saying no, it was just Kronika. “There was one.” Literally.

Ya we never really got anything about the one being

He gettin milk

He's off to visit his other children (earth realm, what why do you think why everyone's attacking earth)

How does Tanya's question or Geras withholding the info from Scorpion about his father's death something that aligns with Lord lui Kangs goals?

​@@andrewbell6561Knowing the wrong thing at the wrong time could spoil all of Liu Kang's hard work. Remember that Liu Kang has designed the complete chart of history, from the beginning to it's end, and for everything to play out the way he wants to, he has to make sure the domino effect he created at the start of history isn't disturbed. Imagine what would happen if the Romans knew about the Trojan Horse from the beginning, or if Ukraine knew Russia will one day betray them, ect

@@KurouShiro6000 if that were true then the plot wouldn't work also he is omniscient he even says that he doesn't know of Kronika and Lui Kang never went into the future or past nor really said that he could.

@@KurouShiro6000Russia betrayed Ukraine? It was Ukrainian nazis who were killing Russian speaking people

@@andrewbell6561 no i meant that if geras told kuai about that he may just get even angrier and might lash out at bihan in a manner that neither geras or liu kang would expect since he seems a calm guy to them, that might cause a disruption in lius design if geras knows that kuai would act peacefully and would remain calm, hed tell, because kuai can handle the information mentally and would plan out other things rather than seeking revenge just like mk9 hanzo at the mktournament

So, he's the master of double speak?

Hey! Geras doesn’t sound like a liar

I suppose that’s a good thing they recognized that; I really wasn’t into Sindel’s betrayal & it just made Aftermath’s story even more pointless. After all, why would Sindel try to have a change of heart when she was already revived? Furthermore, why would Sindel try to have a change of heart when she was already EVIL from the moment Quan Chi resurrected her in MK9? Even moreso after she got back with Shao Kahn, mind you! And to pile on the confusion, she says she killed Jerrod when it was actually Shao Kahn who did it, so they fucked up their already-established story.

Another reset basically

​@@AlastorAltruistGamingi was indifferent to it because i don't care about sindel but her being evil makes her being able to overpower the entire roster 3 times now (with 2 of those times involving the guy who beat shao khan and one of those times said guy achieved godhood.) but not being able to do anything at all besides suicide against shao kahn actually make sense.

It does seem like MK9, MKX, and MK11 are different timelines.

At least they actually had the decency to admit it instead of trying to taboo it like lots of other video game companies when they make stupid retcons and plot holes.

At least he does it for free 😂

Not quite, he tells practically nothing about the future.

You’re forgetting Syzo- Imean Reptile as well bro

@@TheTipchris not wrong, I just am the most impressed with baraka

In all honesty, he already did in 11. Only this time around they gave him more and better background.

It's amazing that he hasn't turned evil Oh wait he did. At least in another timeline

Kung lao is awesome tho. So eh who needs to be the champ

Not entirely. There are certain events that are beyond our control or chosen by others.

And knowing said events that may foretell our future would ruin it completely If I were to ask my future, it would rather be, how should I do it? Not asking about what the future holds for me but ask what I can do to achieve it

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.

​@@loganlockheart6286don't forget about The One Being's existence too. Maybe he helped her to shape the sands or she stole some or all of his power.

@@kamiiwave I can see that he was the one Originally shaping the sands of time before kronika and when she was created first watched, then helped shape the sands, then eventually took the One's place for herself and started for her Golden Balance

Perhaps its one of Kronika's parents? I mean, who beget the Titans?

I think, "there was only one" was referring to Kronika herself.

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.

@@NotAGoodUsername360 I like that it could be an even bigger threat after Onaga. Maybe like how Raiden went from a god to an elder god. This old keeper of time went from a Titan to something higher

Maybe it's the "One Being"

Yup. I'm like, "Wait.... There was one individual of Keeper of Time before Kronika?" I wonder who was it?

​@@harrymichaeljaya2258 Onaga

At least, he wouldn't be compared to his ancestor and Liu Kang 24/7 because Liu Kang help his ancestor to become even greater. Hopefully, he still needs to keep his ego in check.

More like if you survive

There's no "new" characters here. They all from previous timeline.😂

@ananalparabiabi1200 homie is you dumb? You know I meant the "new" versions of themselves

Tarkatans are a mixture of both humans and demons. Only baraka was naturally born so the only person who's not natural is well Mileena.

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. Becuse of just that one night she wanted to be away from it all..

@@jocelantonettetenoc5996 Well, Outworlders and Netherrealmers. However, in the previous game, Baraka stated that his realm had been conquered.

I thought Tarkatans were mutants.
