​@@natedagreat19 I have doubts of this actually being the first Liu Kang timeline. They hint at the Hourglass' madness over and over; I can't shake the feeling that Liu Kang did begin succumbing to it. Possibly the reveal trailer, because we *never* see that degree of sinister to Liu Kang, but we *do* in Aftermath. Dude literally manipulated his friends to die and justified it as "They are not gone Shang Tsung, they will be reborn in my New Era." Like *no dude* they're dead. You even got yourself killed. And in a moment of lucidity I guess, he recreated Geras. The rest of this is a crackpot theory but in short; I think Liu Kang's responsible for Shao's father's death, sealing away Onaga, and *that* is why Shao's being such a dumbass. I think Reiko's ending is a case of unreliable narrator. If it is still the first timeline created by him though, something must have prompted Geras' recreation. Because it doesn't make sense otherwise. So let's say... He went a bit over the top, maybe perhaps... *Killing Shao's father.* Maybe as collateral damage from Onaga, because *someone* sealed away Onaga, and it'd be an insult to any MK:D fan for this Onaga to be a damn kaiju. It'd be no different than Cell MAX in DBS Super Hero. Just to earn Outworld's respect, and obviously a degree of fear, an extreme show of force must have happened. We know Shao was around for it though, and almost certainly Sindel. It's worth noting that Onaga has been sealed away for over 10 thousand years as well, we can extrapolate this from Mileena's pre-game dialogue saying she's heard the legends, yet she's the same age as Kitana. So we're talking potentially a hundred thousand years ago. We don't know how old Shao is, but I'd imagine he's closer to 100 thousand than 10 thousand. Personally, I'd like Onaga to be the Titan of Death. It fits his character, dude was literally raising the dead with no difficulty. Not wraiths, not spectres, not revenants, *true ressurection.* He could nab your soul from The Heavens and just make you his slave. He'd easily overpower Fire God Liu Kang, but not Titan Liu Kang. And I'm honestly being generous to Liu Kang here, because we never even got to see a full power Onaga. Onaga was *nerfed* because he using Reptile's body as a vessel. I would wager a 100% power Onaga would put up a good scrap.

I’m curious what Liu Kang said to Geras at the dawn of creation. “I may be your creator, but your role is not that of servitude, never again. But possibly…you are and will be, my one and only true friend. My equal.” And Geras fulfilled it perfectly and beyond. Not only supporting Liu Kang from eons of solitude, but to predict what might be necessary eons into the future. Saving the power of creation, NEVER USING IT FOR HIMSELF, keeping it in what only he knows Liu Kang treasures most,… And most importantly, shielding Liu Kang of fate’s ill intention for his happiness to his fullest abilities. Geras said he was created from Liu Kang’s image. But he has exceeded far beyond. I really hope Netherealm spare their hands from twisting this one character.

Geras is by no means Liu Kang’s servant, rather his equal and indeed his only friend. As you stated, Geras has free will and is by no means bound to Liu Kang by anything other than duty and camaraderie. Geras had the power to easily turn on Liu Kang and take his power any time he wanted, but chose not to because he trusts Liu Kang, has faith in his vision, and in turn is content with safeguarding it.

That direction would provide a sufficient compromise in fighting characters who were written to be stronger WITHOUT reducing them as jobbers.

Even if he was a slave to Liu, he could’ve rebelled since he has a sense of self that’s a little more advanced than 11’s. But he chose not to. He said to Liu in regards to why he didn’t take the powers himself, that he had _faith_ I think that’s a very important distinction.

This is all the OG Geras choosing a path for himself, not bound to Kronika or anyone else's will. If this is true, then you really have to give Liu Kang a lot of respect. He gives people choices and a right to decide what to do, and without a doubt, I can see Geras will take in what Liu Kang tries to teach him.

Geras: “Why did you make that look? You allowed him to exist again.”

11:44 “Liu Kang has proven more resilient than anticipated. He and his comrades have escaped the fortress.”

If I had written the script: Liu Kang: “The new era is unfolding as it should.” Geras: (Puts down statue and turns to face him with a concerned frown) “About that…” Liu Kang: “What is it? Is there a problem with the Hourglass?” Geras: “The Hourglass is fine. The problem is with something it has shown me.” Liu Kang: “What, Geras?” Geras: “When you restarted history, you altered the destinies of certain malefactors to neutralize them. At least one of them is, as Johnny Cage would say, not sticking to the script: Shang Tsung.”

Liu Kang is considered a demigod throughout the story, up until the end where he reclaims time's power and regains his Titan status. However, the process did irreperable damage to his body, so now he is no longer immortal and likely isn't as powerful as a standard Titan.

No, he turned back into a Titan before Chapter 15, so he's now the Time Titan of his Timeline again, though he lost his Immortality and now can only live for like billion years.

Geras the homie everyone need

Its good they are nice now

Geras' upgrade is one of my favorite character upgrades of MK1. From being Kronika's controlled slave that gets himself killed over and over again, to Liu Kang's best friend and the guardian of the Hourglass.

Geras BEST HOMIEE

I love how they treat Geras in this game. He was given his rightful chance to be a good character and not a jobber. Even in 11 his tower ending shows that deep down Geras had good in him, it was just misguided as he was forced to be a slave to Kronika. But Liu Kang treats him like a man, like an equal, not like a tool.

Geras best character development

God I love this game’s story, it’s very cohesive with little-to-no plot-holes, and all ends were tied up nicely. Ashrah is my favorite character by far. But I love how they did Liu Kang in this, and his relationship with his champions and Geras were great to see!

I've noticed that you either love, or hate this game's story. (Not literally you lol) Personally this is my favorite story since Deception. And I think the reason's obvious, this game was a love letter for people like me who grew up with the 3D games. I realize many people started with MK9 now. So to them, the Pyramid of Argus means nothing. It's just where Shao Khan won. But to me it's a culmination of events. "The Elder Gods demanded a failsafe." I see the vultures in my head right now as I type this. And Kintaro's war cry. *The poster!* And that's why I actually really liked the finale.

Being fare, one of the reasons that made me bought this mk is because i trully liked how geras was turned into a real bro

Its literally 4 clips of Kronika repeated each time oml

Just like T-800 was a good guy in T2 after he was a villain in the first film.

I like how Liu Kang gave Geras a much better role in this timeline and gave him all the memories of the previous timelines and trusts him greatly to guard the Hourglass.

11:24 geras sounds so bad ass here

Get yourself a homie like Geras.

Liu Kang and Geras they are like brothers

He’s all buddy buddy like Kotal Kahn

I wish MK1 would release the full soundtrack

Now Geras is the best bro in Mortal Kombat.

"You were his ruthless wife" "Why was I white?" "What?" "I was white, in that flashback, why?"

0:57 Here's a foreshadowing of things to come. 😉

Im glad geras is on the good side instead of being a villian

Accept it, you searched this to hear Kronika's theme remixed

They really did justice to geras in MK 1

It's weird and interesting. But are they implying that the mortal kombat games since the first one are different restarted timelines?

@nekbox5407 so the ladder match endings of each game character is all true, which gets cut off at the knees except for one that continues to the next game. Also, considering there are gender swaps being pointed out in this game, I'm guessing fanfictions and fan art, too.

The cool part is that except for Shaolin Monks, all other Mortal Kombat games follow a single story line, even the netherrealm games, MK9 picks up where armaggedon left off, X continues the trilogy retelling, 11 finishes that timelines trilogy, and 1 is continuing the story by being connected to aftermath ending. It's really hard for a series running this long to not have to completely separate from it's predecesors, think of it as building a REALLY long dominoe row, I am just waiting for someone in the game devs to ruin it by saying that it separate universes .

Gears i kinda like a lot more now too while 11 treated him like a slave lu kang actually sees him as a actual person and a close friend that's nice hope he gets a chapter in the story dlc coming out

geras was one of the best brand new characters in mk11

Kronika considered Geras a tool, nothing more than a pawn. Liu Kang considers Geras a friend, and is grateful for his aid.

So when liu kang let go of his power as the keeper of time, there were no titan in his era. Geras was the guardian of the hour glass and the elder gods exist but no titan.

If the timeline gets reset again, keeper of time has to be geras.
