Liu Kang Has Protected Earthrealm along side Kung Lao And Raiden Liu Kang was the one who wasn't knocked down as much and hey you can't hate on the iconic bicycle kick
That’s Richard Epcar for ya. He’s the same guy that voiced Ansem (Seeker of Darkness) from Kingdom Hearts, Joseph Joestar from JoJo, Batou from Ghost in the Shell, Gabriel from Star Ocean, and Joker from MK/Injustice
Funny how Liu Kang blames Raiden for what happened in Armageddon, just like how everyone blames Liu Kang in Mk1. They have to understand, no one is all powerful and Liu Kang understands it best
I know Raiden in MK1 is a younger version but they could've gotten Richard Epcar to do a younger voice. Man's got the talent for it. On the same note, I have no idea why they got Phil LaMarr for Geras. Every time I hear his voice in MK1 I think of Kotal.
In Liu Kang’s mk9 he did become Earthrealms’ protector after asking the Elder Gods to challenge Raiden for the title. He won and became a Fire God, but he eventually became a corrupted Tyrant instead and prompting Shang Tsung to kill him after being trained by Bo Rai Cho in his ending
@@blakeharris3225 how you know he still have it ? In all trailers or in the test he only have fire . If you talking about his blue attack ; its blue fire not thunder
Raiden - We must forgive and forget Liu Kang- All to easy for an immortal Then Liu Kang made Shang Tsung and Quan Chi poorly peasants, without their powers. (He said to teach them humility)
Man, they made a great choice recasting Liu Kang's voice for Matthew Yang King's. His MK9/X voice sounded way too dickish. MK11 and 1 made him sound much more humble and serene, although Revenant Liu Kang doesn't sound as threatening, but he still does an okay job with him.
I wasn’t fully in on Lord Liu when MK11 released, but I couldn’t deny they the design was top tier. But man, with the release of MK1, I’ve gotta say Netherrealm outdid themselves. Long live the New Era!
Sometimes I'm just amazed on how the intros foreshadowed future events in MKs story. How Liu Kang said Earthrealm needs a new protecter than he becomes the main hero and new face of MK and a God and new protecter of Earthrealm. Shits wild! How about MK foreshadowing his godhood 8 years before it actually happened !
That is further proof Lord Raiden did the right thing making Liu Kang the new protector of Earth realm because since it was revealed in MK 11 story mode this whole time in every timeline Lord Raiden has been manipulated by Kronika She purposely made Raiden and Liu Kang endlessly fight each other because she was too afraid of their power as They kept getting stronger in every new timeline She tried to kill them in every timeline until Raiden somehow Saw the future and witnessed every timeline of Raiden and Liu Kang fighting each other to the death and he knew it was Kronika manipulating their fate And apparently he doesn't like her because he has tried defeating her in almost every timeline which is why she was laughing because she has hurted dozens of times and Raiden lost so he came up with the smartest idea by making Liu Kang the new Earth realm protector and the next fire god and God of lightning Kronika literally shitted in her pants 😅 and the new MK1 timeline is the first MK timeline to give people freedom of choice and free will but I guarantee some old things will return like Bi-han will become noob saibot Kuai Liang will become Sub-Zero Shang tsung will continue to do evil things Quan chi will continue to do his evil things I'm not sure if shao Kahn will return in the new MK1 timeline but I hope to see Scarlet become a big part of the story Even though she was just a hidden glitch character She is slowly becoming a real character 😍
[Insert Omni-Man chewing out Homelander meme here but replace it with Raiden and Liu Kang respectively] Even when Raiden had killed him, it was a moreso defensive reaction to Liu Kang attacking him with his fire powers. One could even argue it was accidental just because of how the attack backfired and burned Liu Kang alive. Raiden made a lot of mistakes, but there's only so much he could do with what little he had to go off of. At least he was trying to fix things. I wasn't even that surprised by his face-heel turn given how everything kept going wrong no matter what he did (though, I know some of that was said to be fueled by Shinnok's amulet and possibly the Jinsei being corrupted too)
im not sure but hasn't the liu kang to some level done the same in mk11 as raiden in mk9? i mean he didin't kill his ally however he did cause a mass genocide
The champion we Need Scorpion the one we gat Liu kang booooooo SCORPION WAS THE ORIGINAL Campion of the elder gods he was the one ho killed Onaga he deserves to be called A Fire God but not Quailiang I mean the real Scorpion Hanzo Hasashi
@@mindgames50 It's been stated since the timeline reset in mk9 that Raiden is Earth's protector god. In the first timeline, Raiden was an elder god after defeating Shinnok and Fujin was protector. In the second timeline, Fujin was a demigod that roamed earthrealm, Raiden was protector, and Liu Kang was champion. In the new era, Liu Kang is protector god, Raiden is champion, and Fujin is a mortal woman.

In his arcade ladder ending in MK 9 he challenged and defeated Raiden to be protector of Earthrealm.
Liu Kang: You know what wounds me Rayden? Lightning
MK11’s story is not good but man is it the embodiment of the phrase:
“I don’t like how we got here but I’m glad we got here”
I didn't like the idea of everything being Kronika's plan/deception.
It really hurt the lore.
It wasn´t true and a big mistake as your rightly point out.

It all adds up between raiden and lui in the previous timeline.
Damn this timeline is confusing
fire god
idk whythey didnt bring back the old voice actor in that little scene where Lord Raiden comes back
Finally, the New Earthrealmer god doesn't need to consult to Elder god anymore.
What's bad about consulting with them
I just realized something, who is Fujin's new brother?
Either Fujin is human like raiden too and they're brothers, or he's "brother" of Liu Kang (which would be really cool)
I'd wager that Fujin is one of the unseen Elder Gods in the New Era.
God we’ve came a long way
never truer words spoken if your first experience was the original MK 1 🤣🤣
"You have killed us...All." Correction. You almost killed us all Liu Kang. Raiden basically saved all of us from you.

I wonder Who would win out of Lui Kang and Taven in 1v1
While what happened in MK9 was bad, compared to Armageddon, it was a much more favorable outcome comparatively.
Wasn't he the protector when he became Earth Realm's champion?
All to easy for a immortal as he also is immortal
Wait so kronika was reconned to be behind the shenanigans in mk9?
Liu Kang is more noble than Raiden was
Which makes it boring
He must win was not Kronika deception, He must win came from his past self. After losing in Armageddon
True. I think that is more of a reference to MK Deception.
Raiden pleads oopsy
im not sure but hasn't the liu kang to some level done the same in mk11 as raiden in mk9? i mean he didin't kill his ally however he did cause a mass genocide
Raiden in MK 9 is what we call a soft reboot of the timeline. Kronika erased the MK 11 timeline. Liu Kang had to build the New Era in MK 1
