I love the little detail of ghastly noises when Ermac talks, and how he has a filter that sort of "doubles" his voice, it sells off the fact that Ermac is supposed to be a construct, with numerous souls keeping him as one.
So confusing that he seems very neutral, like, his way of saying “jerrod is safe within us” or “wishes your soul to be at peace” sounds so sinister & threatening but he prolly means well
Really like how they did Ermac here. Not even neutral but the collection just kinda does whatever benefits them. Like how for certain people they want to gain their trust and what not
7:48 i love that ermac gives sindel positive reassurance that Jerrod is Safe within Ermac, it gives depth that he isn’t a bad guy or a good guy either, but he atleast he gives respect.
Nobody is talking of the fact that Ermac just droped Rain's real name Edit: ok sooo, I was wrong, Rain namedrop his own name to Kenshi and I just saw the only one were he was just pissed to Kenshi becouse he sed to him that it was an ugly name without saying it, sorry for the mess
I like the idea that, whenever Ermac speaks, the souls within are usually divided in what they say, so the body just utters the opinion they share most. That would imply there is always, like, a dozen souls that get offended that they are in the minority.
They mean the ORIGINAL original timeline. By deception Ermac was freed from shao kahns grasp by kenshi and was basically purely an agent of good @@TheVampirePredator
Havik seeks senseless bloodshed and chaos beyond control. Big numbers or not, Ermac’s souls show more intellect than Havik, who has a hypocritical take on chaos
10 things I've learned about Ermac today: 1. Only Jerrod knows who killed him, yet we do not know for ourselves. Only we know it's not Li Mei's fault. 2. Ermac possibly controls elements 3. Souls within him fought Onaga and died. 4. Ermac has Sindel's scream 5. HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND PRONOUNS. 6. One of the souls within him really said "YOUR MOVIES ARE ASS, CAGE!" 7. Souls within him saw Great Kung Lao. 8. Souls within him was a suitor for Madam Bo. 9. HE DOES NOT HAVE CARNAL NEEDS. 10. EVERY. SOUL. DIED. TO MEGAN FOX'S VOICE.(Who could blame him, though? He speaks for us all.) Are there any other facts I'm missing? Edit: 11. His oldest soul is Emperor Zhambul, the magnificent. Was HE the first ruler of Outworld before Sindel???? Is that why Ermac looks mummified the way he does????? Is Zhambul the dominant basis for Ermac's body????????? I have so much questions..... 12. Ancestor souls of Bi Han and Kuai Liang are within Ermac. I doubt the surface has truly been reached. There is sooooo much about Ermac to uncover.
Another confirmation that the ancestors of Lin Kuei's blood brothers were from the Outworld and for some reason it was kept a secret that Kuai Liang still doesn't know about it. But Bi-Han knows. Maybe this is another reason why he is pissed off by Liu Kang, because of this secrecy
@@sebastianramirez9090they are from Outworld, that concept is completely foreign to them nor do they care about it either since it serves no purpose to their well being.
Quite the opposite could be true as well. Outworld's history and cultures are so vast that its entirely possible some of them don't see gender as that big a deal, so its less "What are you talking about" and more "Why does it matter, you're bound to get it right any swing you take."
Considering Geras has seen so many lives and universes,It kinda makes sense He challenges Ermac's collective being given how he technically is a lot like them. One being and mind over Thousands of realms and thousands of minds and beings in one body
I like how Tanya is offering to be Mac's guard. She's not disturbed, she's duty bound. I also like that Shang sounds less hostile toward Ermac. He's more amazed and curious. Can't blame him. Ermac is unique both in game and in real life. 15:38 a hint of Ermac aiding Liu Kang's Soul in Deception.
Remember in MKX where Takeda can speak telepathically? I wonder how Takeda and Ermacs' interaction will behave because Takeda once tried to see how many souls are within Ermac but failed upon listening to many souls' voices.
Sylvester Stallone: “And these pronouns. What the fuck is with the pronouns? You know what my pronoun is? “It” as in it cannot take this shit anymore!”
It's nice for once to see ermac is going for the souls of the bad guys and call them out while be neutral,even humble at times and has no quarrel with the good guys. Good on Lui kang for doing his very best when he made this universe.
Call me a freak I don't care, but Ermac's voice in MKX and this game is music to my ears, I really love the detail when he (They) speak, you can hear these like, quiet voices you can't really understand or comprehend, it's like when Ermac talks to you, you can hear all of these different whispers and voices talking at once which is not only pretty Eerie, but also a really cool concept, and I also really love how a lot of the characters from the roster complement Ermac's power, even Liu Kang says his power can be very dangerous if used wrong, it makes since though because, to have thousands of ghosts of all the dead people from the living forest shoved into a single, physical entity, wielding the power of many souls would probably make anyone incredibly dangerous.
So, Ermac in fact, has no allies but many souls that who make him(them) exist in just one body(Ermac) He is not good,he is is not evil, and even can not decide to which place to sit down. near by ?good or evil ? This is also unpredictable, even for himself (themselves).He ,s not natural ,also...(Natural means absolute 0 (zero)...not evil.not good... But Ermac decides to take his place via whatever comes in his way !!!
Fan made interaction Me: You all are many, but why be one mashed up person? Ermac: Our souls are many to defeat you as only one. Me: All for one and one for all. Ugh, I hate it when quotes are ironically literal. Ermac: We don't disagree to those words, Your Swordsmanship. Ermac: Some of our souls are interested in your swords arts. Me: I'll pass if you all don't let me talk to them, One-Dead Man Party. Ermac: We may not anymore be working for Shang Tsung, we are on our own way of life. Me: Come on, you guys and girls. you should at least be going back to be resting in peace.
I they were An Exclusive To Mortal combat 11 or 10, But I would Like to see what Happening with The Xenomorph character. It being a unique Evolution Thing to it's Kind.
Ermac's souls: "We are many! You are one!" Ermac's Weaknesses: "You have many! We have none!" Johnny Cage: "I am Johnny, you're no fun!" 😂 Ermac: "You mock us, Earthrealmer?" 😠
so, who is in control of Ermac now? It's odd that when Jerrod is in control, you see his face shine through, but when it's not him, it's just multiple people at once? odd
If I understand how the whole "Collection" works I think his mind is like its own council or parliament and the souls are all probably communicating to one and another in a more mutual manor and the ermac being the vessel gets to say what the majority of souls at thinking. Just my weird theory tho
I like how Ermac has become a free agent. He’s neither good or evil, his allegiance is to himself
Themselves?
He clearly is leaning towards good if you actually seen all the intros.
Makes sense given that he seems to be composed of largely benign souls.
@@justsomeguy6336Ermac should have gone with they/them. Not because he is non-binary but he has so many souls inside him. He even go by “we”

I also liked Peacemaker's 21:53 spin of the line lol
Zim: Any IRKEN souls inside you, ERMAC?!
Ermac: As far as we are aware, we have none.
Ermac’s voice is so cool, you can hear the souls screaming when he speaks
I wouldn't call that screaming, more like small voices you can't comprehend which is spooky on it's own.
