That line really hit home. With all the things that future Jack's is going through really clouded his thinking. I get that he was trying to do good for Jackie but kronika used his desperation to her advantage just as everyone else that she enlisted. I felt that his younger self was there to remind him of what he truly stands for.
"I'm not doing this to you, I'm doing this for you." Such a beautiful and meaningful line. Shows that Jax is actually hurting her despite thinking he's helping her. It also clarifies that doing something to someone is hurting them while doing something for someone is helping them.
@@lancealot4001 you have to remember Future Jax was an emotional wreck after his wife died. Plus the PTSD from being a revernant, plus reverting to alcohol. And Kronika finding him in desperation. He too many things going in his head, to really put up a good fight.

Yes, The elder Jackson Briggs was an unwitting pawn in Kronika’s plans. She is manipulative and deceptive exactly like her son Shinnok before her, both make false promises, both spew lies. We know that Kronika’s true plan when she erases and recreates the Timeline is to resurrect Shinnok and restore the Balance between Light And Darkness, putting the realms in endless wars.
@Cali God are you saying that only white people can be All-American? As far as I can tell, if you were born in the USA you're American. Jax is an All-American badass
I like how centrion really did not want to fight and even warned Jacque against wearing the crown. She stayed true to virtue and didn’t betray it(besides kronika but she thought she was doing right)
Older Jax looks so badass., also I love the emotion as he's moving his arms at 7:03 like you know he's just filled with anxiety and wondering if this is really the right thing"
But what he didn't know is that Kronika's plan would basically remove Jacqui from history (This Jax is unknowingly leading his daughter to her death)... So I kinda felt conflicted by this line.
Present Jax wants to effectively erase and remake his daughter in a more ideal image. He is working to take her life out of her hands to make himself feel better. He all but says she should be at home making babies. Honestly, they fucked him up since MKX.
Jax is the best character in the game. He lost his arms, but he got back up and fought to his end. I wish I was that strong, as a kid playing football in minors, I hated it and always cried every time I was hit hard. But as I got grew, I grew stronger and better. Fight till you can't no more, even if you body tells you to stop, don't.
I really gotta give props for the story mode and character depth in this one! Jax...you may have made some mistakes and a LOT OF HORRIBLE SHIT was done to you! Jackie isn't one of those mistakes! I actually cried when I saw her ending!
I love how Jax has a perfect voice actor in this game, I wish Patrick Seitz came back for Scorpion though, but I’m ok with the directors sticking with Hanzos nationality, it’s cool
“I’m just that tough” *Cue flashback to Jax having his arms yeeted off, bleeding out, and screaming the entire time until Sonya steps in to cauterize his wounds*
The ultimate sad part about this scenario, Future Jax is trying to give Jackie a better life by restarting the timeline, but in Jackie's arcade mode she erases herself from the timeline in order for her father to have a better life
Jacqui was Vixen, Kitana was Starfire, Liu was Atom, Shao Kahn was Atrocitus, Raiden was the Joker. Such a good line up of voice actors well they could’ve kept in Sonya from MKX and all will be all right.
I feel bad for elder Jax; suffering from the things he’d done. He just want to rewrite his past in order to live a happy life with his family. Even though Kronika has other intentions, and lied to him, I can understand his pain.
If you listen to the two lines of "Never thought I stood so low" and "You don't know how bad it gets". Those two lines synchronise with the background music so perfectly and I love it.
Charlie Ace you know this game’s story is about restarting history, right? The endgame is Liu Kang being the one to hold the hourglass’ power and start a new timeline. Characters like Scorpion and Sonya can come back, and their past selves are still alive regardless.
@@izzybear2220 Well he was known to be the leader of the Special forces group, now this is Sonya's show for some reason. Kinda sucks with her as leader.

No. But nice Game Theory try again
Sad thing is? I can respect where Future Jax is coming from...evil decision or not, it was made with the love of a father and husband.
And gets knocked out by his younger self,who does not get it. Usually in those situations the older more experienced person Fighting For A Cause wins
Young Jax could've won I'd Older was distracted by what was going on aka not having his head in the fight at the time

I completely empathize where Elder Jax was coming from with his intentions. He was just deceived and manipulated.
Yes, but the special forces introduced her to Takeda and she is engaged to be married.
