Bro just like he was born from a collection of souls we the fans made him from a collection of rumors I just realized that

@Facebones2391 Ай бұрын

I hate to admit it but fuck that's genius. Never heard that analogy and Ermac has existed long enough to legally drink. Kudos man.

Ermac: We too were born of sorcery. Scorpion: Do not compare yourself to me. Ermac: Very well, doomed one.

Best memory of Mac-Mac was Mortal Kombat Trilogy- the best MK game to me. The combos, fatalities, brutalities, and finally getting to play as Ermac was awesome.

It’s a cool idea that Ermac being one of many is kinda like all the ppl that spread all the rumors back then so they kinda used the real rumor as source for the lore

@Facebones2391 Ай бұрын

To be fair they did that a lot. I think the only rumor we didn't have fulfilled was Hornbuckle. The MK team absolutely used the rumors, and stupid gags. Like, Rain...is a purple Prince. Purple rain, the prince. Wild.

Ermac from the 3D era was best Ermac. Dude fought all 5 of the main DA fighters SOLO. Kung Lao, Sonya, Johnny, Jax, and Kitana. And he hooked my boy Kenshi up with powers.

@thunderbolte711 Ай бұрын

I like to think Ermac's MKX ending is canon, and Shang Tsung took control of the vessel and reincarnated himself by absorbing the souls within. The Shang Tsung we see in the Aftermath expansion is actually present day Shang who got trapped in the void when Kronika arrived. This is why he was an old man when we first see him. Shang was probably plotting in the shadows between the events of MKX and MK11.

@Facebones2391 Ай бұрын

Ohh man I'm so glad we have a new MK for you to cover, I really missed your content during the between game lull. I know you cover other stuff but nobody does MK as well as you. I know because I am always correcting them in the comments.

@nssupershadownintendosega Ай бұрын

13:54 In Ermac's mkx ladder ending he's killed by shang tsung stealing his souls to restore himself back to the living thats why he's not in mk11 if im correct. (If im wrong or missing detail I'd like to know)

@Facebones2391 Ай бұрын

History behind the warrior, if you don't have a video on it, highly recommend covering all the fan rumored characters and which ones turned into real characters or not. Hornbuckle is all but forgotten now.

@drstephenstrange897 Ай бұрын

Ermac was not in 11 because maybe his tower ending was true, somehow the soul of Shang Tsung was gone inside Ermac in MKX and being the most powerful soul he freed himself and "sucking" the souls from an already week and decaying Ermac, he came back to life...that's why Tsung is in MK11 but not Ermac....I guess.

I find it interesting that the hoax of Ermac being fought "at the statues" would get referenced in Shaolin Monks, as that is where you can optionally fight him. You just KNOW that was done on purpose.

I gotta say, not to be negative but i really miss your old style of narrating, I used to love relaxing on a night to your video's but the past year youve tried to add these dynamics to your voice that makes a little more jarring and hard to chill to. Its like youre jumping into the mic at the start of every sentence then slowly pulling away where as it used to be a nice even volume. again sorry to be negative still love the content!

@Historybehindthewarrior Ай бұрын

I think its probably a bi-product of doing commentary on the side, the crossover has definitely bled over to the KZfaq side of things I feel, Ill defintely take this in mind though as it has been rather hard on my voice recently so dialling things down might be a good idea in hindsight

@Hutchino46 Ай бұрын

@@Historybehindthewarrior oh I see yeah it does have more of a commentary vibe now, like i say its not bad I think its just dialing back from the mic abit when your voice is more forceful :)

@PotawatomiThunderNew Ай бұрын

I don’t really that Jerrod wads up being in control of Ermac in the new era. I like it a lot better with there not being any one individual taking precedence over the others within Ermac. I also don’t really like his face in that game either. But he’s still one of my favorite character’s regardless.

@geneericname7138 Ай бұрын

I don't so much care about the face thing -playable Ermac seems to be getting the traditional MK ninja mask anyway- but otherwise I agree 100%. 'Collection of souls' Ermac is a lot cooler than just 'Jerrod'. The way he talks in the trailer (when Reptile says 'you've changed', Ermac responds 'we believe for the better') makes me think he's not going to be Jerrod, though.

Since Jerrod's soul is inside Ermac, does anyone think Travis Willingham could have voiced Jerrod? Not his actual VA in the game, but he did voice Old Raiden in Liu Kang's chapter and sounds alike. Maybe next game? I say, why not?

@Gooey_Mess Ай бұрын

Did anyone else think his turn against Mileena in MKX made no sense? Like he was made by Shao Kan to fill out his commands and wishes which would have included having Mileena become the new Kan. Plus how did Reptile and Ermac not know Mileena was created in the fleshpits? It's not like Kitana had a sister that they just happened to never meet in the years they worked for Shao Kan, and in MK9 Shao Kan was pretty open about Shang tsung creating her.

I remember getting ultimate mk3 for a Christmas present back in the day. I was still rocking the Sega mage drive at that stage and loved that game. It brought me so many hours of ultraviolet joy. Mk1, 2 and ultimate 3 are my personal top 3 MK's. I've always been a massive fan of the franchise but I just can't seem to get into the recent titles atall. Must be finally getting old.
