I love how these show just how vastly different Liu Kang is from Kronika when it comes to Geras. Kronika created Geras solely to serve her and carry out her commands without question. Liu Kang created Geras as a friend and partner, and even gave Geras the choice to serve or not.
And by the sounds of things he's more than capable of looking after things after Liu Kang finally dies. In one game, he became one of my favourite characters.
As cute and wholesome as this is, having them beat each other up and even eviscerate their internal organs and break their bones after just having a nice conversations is just weird.
That's true, but I'd say that also depends on whether or not you decide to use fatal blows or fatalities, and though there are just the brutal normal and special moves, you could argue that magic or something helps them take the beating.
I honestly love this weirdness of MK. Guy1:"oh hey, how's it going?" Guy2: rips his friend's arm off "all good. How about you?" Guy1: breaks his friend's spine "never better".
@@kieranulao20 Fun bit of trivia: that song was written for the movie Highlander, which starred Christopher Lambert, who played Raiden in the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie.
@@ClericOfPholtusnah from what we can tell this is the same geras given his knowledge on the previous timeline which seems too personal to have been second hand
Either he had a movie night where they all watched Predator or he managed to watch a movie with Kitana alone and he put on an action movie starring him
I *love* the tone of this game! It's much lighter than what came before, but it's still epic, with great character work, and almost everyone is likable. I love it.
Outside of this video, if Raiden was savage, this could be an interaction: - Reiko: You are nothing without that amulet. - Raiden: And you are nothing without Daddy Shao.

It sucks that these exchanges are only available in versus. With that said I main Smoke and if I were to face a Scorpion player and win, I just wouldn't have the heart to do a brutality or fatality on them.
Honestly as friendly as everyone is to each other, it just makes them more psychotic when they finish the fight with a gruesome fatality afterwards. Like "Dude I totally respect you we should be buds" to eviscerating them all over the floor and leaving barely any remains.
I said it on a previous video I will say it again. It would be amazing to see all the MK Lore in some 5 minute webisodes. This new timeline has made so much wholesome Kontent that I would love to see explored. I especially would like to see Johnny’s movie progress with the champions, As well as Movie night with Kitana and Syzoth.
i can only picture syzoth getting spooked turned reptile then hid under a blanket while still watching, while johnny is having a blast seeing his reactions

Love this game As a long time Mortal Kombat fan just chefs kiss Liu Kang did his work well Mileena's pulling a Silk Fox with her gf in court Johnny and Kenshi are genuine bros not randomly introduced as such in the prologue Reptiles an actual main character
Johnny, in this timeline, may be obsessed with making movies, but ultimately, he just wants to be seen as a hero. He just wishes the stakes weren't real.
Long time fans are living in a crazy time right now. Mortal Kombat will always be Mortal Kombat (fatalities and all), but these kombatant interactions really made them more 3-Dimensional. Even the last two games give characters more personality with the pre-fight banters. It's strange, but in a good way.
As much as it nice to see everyone on good terms, it’s not as fun. MKX and Mk11 the characters talk about how they’re going to burn, freeze, smash, or slice each other.
It’s weird to see Shao be nice to someone.
Nice tho imo
i cant find who Shao is talking to, who is he? i cant find him on kameo's

Kronika created Geras solely to serve her and carry out her commands without question.
Liu Kang created Geras as a friend and partner, and even gave Geras the choice to serve or not.
Kronika treated everyone like a tool, no matter how loyal. Liu Kang becoming Keeper of Time must've been a real godsend (no pun intended) for Geras.
And by the sounds of things he's more than capable of looking after things after Liu Kang finally dies. In one game, he became one of my favourite characters.
It also helps he lived a life as both a champion fighting for his realm as well as a destroyer when he was a revenant. Both good and evil.
It’s funny that Shao can’t understand that Raiden is a genuinely nice guy… yet he shows Reiko a father’s praise
I don’t wanna fatality another character again with how sweet these interactions are.
Right like I've been avoiding doing that lol

God bless Geras. He's such a nice boi. The only one on the cast cutting Rain any slack.
I mean with Geras time with Kronika, he probably has more blood on his hands after countless timelines

holy shit johnny cage actually got kitanna to watcha movie in this timeline? that alone is probably one of his biggest acomplishments
Question is… what movie did he show her?
Either he had a movie night where they all watched Predator or he managed to watch a movie with Kitana alone and he put on an action movie starring him
He also showed Predator to Reptile who got scared by it. Guy has good taste in films.
I love that Kenshi and Cage are best friends in this timeline
I mean it only took Kenshi losing his eyes for the bridge to be built.
Shao Really Treats Reiko as His Son. Almost Like Li-Mei and Sindel's Strong Friendship.
Seeing Shao & Reiko have an almost father son bond brings warmth to my cold dead heart.. 🔥 😆 lol
everyone is such bros in this timeline and im here for it!
I like how Cage and Raiden just quoted Queen's "We are the Champions"
Shao Mirror match quotes “Princes of the Universe”
I *love* the tone of this game! It's much lighter than what came before, but it's still epic, with great character work, and almost everyone is likable. I love it.

Geras: "you don't want to know" 😂😂

I love how in this game they treat the fights with allies as more of a spar than a fight to the death, seems wholesome
all fun and games until someone performs a brutality/fatality😂

@@watcherman222 I was about to say the same. I know it's part of the game but I mean c'mon.
Yeah the sparring just ends in death
Scorpion must be crazy, if everyone views him as a test or a lesson
Did you not see how he handed everyone’s ass to them in his chapter of the story? I don’t blame them.😂
It sucks that these exchanges are only available in versus. With that said I main Smoke and if I were to face a Scorpion player and win, I just wouldn't have the heart to do a brutality or fatality on them.
Waiting for friendship
Maybe that's why they're only available in versus.
you could just do a regular hit again, it'd count as a win without the fatality
Honestly as friendly as everyone is to each other, it just makes them more psychotic when they finish the fight with a gruesome fatality afterwards. Like "Dude I totally respect you we should be buds" to eviscerating them all over the floor and leaving barely any remains.
You can just not do fatalities...
@@benjaminmcneil574Excatly.
Don't do Fatalities on those who are friends or loved ones.
The explanation is as simple as "Versus is not canon"

“Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys……”
This is the first MK game where Johnny Cage gets complimented more so than he'd usually would.
Reptile is right. Forced loyalty doesn't last long.
am I the only one that hopes Rain earns his redemption and forgiveness one day? dude looks fucking heartbroken by the lives that are on his hands.
It’s weird hearing Mileena’s voice saying nice things to anyone (other than Tanya)
"Thanks for the compliment, but now let's shred each other to pieces."
Rain: You are as monstrous as Shang Tsung is.
Homelander: I’m no monster. I’m a fucking God!
Testament (Guilty Gear): "Is there a spot for me in any of your films?"
Johnny Cage: "I got a big wad of roles you can star in, amigo!"
Love this game
As a long time Mortal Kombat fan just chefs kiss
Liu Kang did his work well
Mileena's pulling a Silk Fox with her gf in court
Johnny and Kenshi are genuine bros not randomly introduced as such in the prologue
Reptiles an actual main character
Seeing Baraka being a decent guy and Mileena & Sindel actually respectable is bizarre

It’s wild hearing these just to have them literally rip each other heads off. 😂

After seeing these interactions, I really don’t want to use a fatality on anyone
They're greatfull each other.

Cool video.
As much as it nice to see everyone on good terms, it’s not as fun. MKX and Mk11 the characters talk about how they’re going to burn, freeze, smash, or slice each other.
Maybe we'll see a progressive break down as characters' interests begin to diverge. I think this leaves room for growth in the future.
Is it too much to ask for Friendships to come back?

Asgaarth; must be some Outworld martial art. But, from the name, maybe it's based on something Nordic.
