I Personaly think that Geras in mk1 is a major upgrade from being a Mindless Slave for Kronika to be Close Friends to Lui Kang even calling him a part of a kind of Family and acting after emotions but also serfing his duty
he’s so much better now
Couldn’t agree more.
While I doubt his current state was thought of when writing the previous game I think the contrast of how he has been treated by his 2 masters and how it has directly nurtured his personal growth makes for a better story overall instead of starting as Garas is now.
Hes still a servant though right? Didn’t Lui create him to be righteous and serving?
Liu Kang and Getas becoming close friends is what i never knew i needed. We all deserve a friend like Geras.
it was such a good decision!
I love their relationship in MK1, it's a very unexpected bond that done well. It highlighted Liu Kang's character as a benevolent god who treated his creations as his equals not as pawns. I also love this new Geras who is allowed individual thoughts and desires.
Also, I have a feeling you ship Geras and Liu Kang.
The best ship is friendship
Liu & Geras’ and Johnny & Kenshi’s friendships are some of my favorite parts of MK1’s story.
I also dig Darrius and Havik being battle bros and Shang & Quan Chi’s devious teamwork but those aren’t quite the same lol
at the final battle when quan chi show up at the portal was so hilarious to me for reasons i cant describe
I love even Raiden's and Kung Lao's friendship ❤
A big talking point for MK1’s story is how the jobbers (namely Reptile and Baraka) have been redeemed, but I would like to add Geras to the mix after watching this video. Going from a generic unkillable obstacle for the gang to “overcome” in MK11, to seeing him have an actual personality, desires, wishes and a real relationship with his creator, puts him up there with Syzoth and Baraka for best redemption arc. Fantastic video, you definitely earned my sub!!
(Also I didn’t feel like beginning part was dragged out too long, regarding discussing the intros!)
thankyou so much!
I still feel it weird that he’s never fighting in the story, should’ve just made him dlc with quan chi as base
Geras had to witness eons worth of countless timelines being constantly reset by Kronika. Liu Kang becoming keeper of time and doing things differently (and treating Geras as a friend rather than a slave) was probably a nice big breath of fresh air for him.
exactly
In mk 11 I thought "cool design no impact" but in mk1 I was was almost brought to tears by how cool he'd become. He's genuinely a good dude. Same with Baraka and Reptile etc.
But Geras I would trust with my life.
Seeing Geras returning is both exciting and anxious for me: if someone with previous relationship with Kronika appeared, it meant something was wrong with the timeline and it required both Geras' and Kang's interventions.
I love how they build Geras in this new timeline, a friendly, and loyal character to Liu Kang.. not more just a scratch, and blind loyalty in the history.. their friendship is the best thing in this new era..
And thanks for the subtitles man! They realy help us friends for other countrys to fully understand 🇧🇷🙏
I’m very happy to hear that! that’s my intention with doing subtitles, and agreed! I love their relationship!
Everyone had their own character growth in the new era, and Geras is one of them. He was free to do what he wants and chose to aid Liu Kang beside him. Geras character development is great. Your explanation in this video is absolutely perfection, I thank you for it!
I really enjoy Geras' change into MK1, as being a gentle giant and an ageless scholar is much more enjoyable than being a mindless crony. I also just really enjoyed Geras a character as I was good with him in MK11, but I enjoy him far more now as his role in the game is much better and more realistic.
I absolutely love their relationship!
Agreed!
MK 1 is full of weirdly wholesome relationships. Love it.
For real, I really like how MK1 handled their characters like Reptile, Baraka, Mileena, and Geras to name a few.
Don't forget, The Jade Jaguar that Geras use to store liu's titan and the one Liu Kang treasured could be the same jade jaguar The Great Kung Lao was making when Fire God Liu Kang first met him in the ending of Aftermath
Do you not listen to the video or are you deaf? Because in the video he clearly said the Jade Jaguar Geras stores Liu Kang's power is the one The Great Kung Lao gave him.
@@ksh0124 i do more than listening
I'm watching it to fullest
What i meant is the Jade Jaguar The Great Kung Lao gave to Liu Kang (which is why he treasured it) could also be the same jade jaguar Great Kung Lao was making in the ending of the aftermath
@@catnoirlover1719 it literally the same one, and he told that in the video?
@@ksh0124 karmatem only told the jade jaguar Given to Liu Kang by the Great Kung Lao is the one Liu Kang favoured and also the same thing where Geras put the titan power at
what we know is only that the jade jaguar is a gift given by Great Kung Lao
What we don't know is the jade jaguar could actually be the same jade jaguar Great Kung Lao was crafting in the ending of MK11 Aftermath
Its a tiny detail and man it such a cool thing
I can't believe I didn't subscribe sooner - I adore your deep dives into the more subtle nuances of character development in the game. As you mentioned - one of the best things about the Geras/Liu Kang relationship is that Liu, like with all things in his new creation, gave Geras the independence of thought to make his own independent decisions. And from the bond they develop over EONS is that Geras appreciates Liu Kang's incredibly deep (DEEP) compassion for all creation, he is devoted to Liu Kang simply because he genuinely believes in Liu Kang's overwhelmingly kind outlook. You even mentioned it, the emotional turmoil Geras experiences when he reveals the Jade Jaguar (also the same jade jaguar Kung Jin steals from the Wu Shi academy in MKX!) was genuinely moving to watch - Geras cares for Liu Kang as a person, not just as a god/titan/warrior/etc.
I haven't dared to watch your vid on Liu Kang - I expect it will make me as sad as THAT scene in the game because I have feeling I know exactly what you're going to analyse and I don't yet have the guts to watch it.
I'm tempted to join the discord, but I'm bad enough writing veritable essays in youtube comments - it'll be worse on the discord. Cant wait to see more!!!
thankyou so much! I greatly appreciate the kind words. as for the Liu Kang video, (I’m assuming you mean the tragedy of) it came out before the official release of the game, around leak time. so I took a more story-telling approach opposed to analytical approach with that one. still…very sad, lol. and yes! join the discord if you’d like, I plan on tidying some things up and making it better soon as there’s not a whole lot going on there atm.
You should consider the disc it's a banger
I love how this game treats his "heroes", they made Baraka likable and Ashrah Adorable
agreed!
Wait!...So if every MK Character that became a Titan could create their own version of *GERAS* ...i wonder how *Titan Onaga* created his own Geras? 🤔🤔
ooh that’s true!
I'd love to imagine them like playing charades or watching movies over the eons
Even though this is only his second appearance in the MK series, I hope this will remain as the definitive Geras. This is such a massive improvement from what he was in MK11, and while you can probably tie in lore details to explain the shift in character and allegiance, Geras being a good guy genuinely suits him more and he should stay that way going forward personally speaking.
I will say I also feel this way towards other characters like Reptile and Baraka.
Kung Lao got replaced for the BFF position.
"A new look, just for me? You shouldnt have."
Liu kang to Geras while he was kidnapped in Kronikas Keep. Guess Liu Kang was flattered enough that her kept Geras around in his timeline.
I actually like these two as friends seriously they should keep this going
Admittedly... I was skeptical of Geras ever since his trailer as Keeper of Time with Liu; I really thought he'd turn corrupt again as he did with Kronika and those abilities to rewind time and become nearly unstoppable. I thought he'd have the same role as he did in MK11, but this proves me wrong. I'm glad that Geras has a more positive role this time around despite on how abysmal the plot and most of the characters were. I'm relieved that Liu as the architect of the New Era has a companion who makes his own destiny and it's for Liu's sake.
Still...I hope the devs would keep that relationship if they'd realized the failures MK1 made/is making, and if they should restart the New Era from a different outcome, ie the perfect ending from MK11, they'd maintain it.
I’ve never really sat down and played a mk game besides the dc crossover game. But I really fuck with how mostly everyone’s cool or better than their previous timeline counterparts in Liu Kang’s timelime
When I saw Geras again in MK1, it really took me by surprised! Like I wasn't even expecting him to return at all! But after the whole story, I really love him more in the new era of the story than in MK11!
Geras is a Support & Service dog.
I was never interested in geres. But after mk1 and his own desires it means a lot. He was a slave for kronika for so long. And bows she’s back, yet he doesn’t dare betray lui kang at all. His faith in lui kang strengthens him to betray his original purpose to become something better
The Bromance that along with Mileena & Tanya’s coupling holding MK1 together lol
You should analyze the friendship between Johnny Cage and Kenshi. I love how you explore these little details in the friendship between Liu Kang and Geras. I really underestimated how beautiful this friendship is. Thank you for the content and keep up the good work!
i'll definitely add that to the list! thankyou!!
That's a great explanation of strong bond between Liu Kang and Geras, they are not only creator and servant, they are kind of partners and they fully understand each other❤ and I think Geras is the only one could understand Liu kang, his decisions and his worries as well❤
This is so thoughtful and understated, I love the vibe, your ready, and especially the content. Big subscribe ❤
thankyou so much!
Geras went from being jobber the character, to a genuine person that had depth and is likeable
One good thing about MK1 is that it turned many jobber characters into complex characters with their own arcs.
Correct
This bond is very interesting indeed thanks for this video on this bond.
Another beautifully done video 😢
thankyou so much!
I wish he was the beefcake he was in MK11. They nerfed my boi physically
Good video and your voice is so calming
thankyou!
@@karmatemYou’re welcome! I even subbed with full notifications 🔔 on 👍
If they made a new Shaolin monks game but the main character were fire god Liu Kang and Geras I’d be so down
I like to believe geras was the one to be with Liu many at the Armageddon final chapter
5:33 "to say the least" my guy your saying the most
Also I would personally love to see a video on Shang, maybe even Johnny, your analysis is very good
I’ll definitely try to in the future!
I actually had Geras and Liu in my fav list in mk11
Seeing them as friends made me grin into oblivion 🥹
I love these analysis videos ❤❤❤, will you be ever doing one on the other lin kuei bros?
thankyou!! and yes! I will eventually.
Geras’ relationship with Liu Kang is not blind servitude. There is autonomy. Something he never had under Kronika.
Liu Kang & Geras is such a good duo, like Raiden & Fujin but better
they’re just so good i swear
I enjoy your videos and commentaries. I find it so cute the way you gush over some of the male Kombatants (referring to your MK1 Story gameplays). Looking forward to seeing more kontent from you!
thankyou so much!! ❤
Imagine most F'ed up thing is that most characters didn't bring back Geras only Liu Kang and Shang Tsung
Titan Kitana probably had her own Geras probably?
The fact first thing she said after getting transported is Geras
Probably she was talking with her own Geras before getting summon
What was that one scene where geras was talking to Shang tsung. Is he playing both sides
oh no! that was Geras from Shang Tsung’s timeline. So basically he recreated Geras at the dawn of his new era just like Liu Kang did with his Geras.
do you think they explored each others body? (amazing video, editing and thumbnail, hope your channel gets the attention it deserves)
thankyou so much! (They did)
mk1s rush hour
I myself always thought Geras's power to come back from death as a fixed point in time is unique and cool!
But seeing how he evolved in MK1 is something I never knew I'd enjoy 1000 times more!
so the strongest character in mortal kombat is Geras in the future?
in this timeline at least!
Despite liu kang creating a perfect era he desired. He still choose not to be with kitana. Is this because he became god of earth realm before using the hour glass forcing him to uphold the duty of god of earthrealm after using the hour glass.
Liu kang losing by is immortality is still one of the stupidest things they have done
Gears is lui kangs numbere 1 glazer
having a trusted ally is glazing?
Let's ship them! #Leras
I mustn’t speak
LMAOO
Let's be real. Raiden told Liu he'll need a companion in his new journey, and instead of making Kitana as his second like he said, he instead chose to create Geras.
