Darius is still young in this cinematic Katarina and Elise have new skins and Mel in her visions fought with reanimated soldiers like Sion #Grey Legion Katarina has her new daggers from the Katarina comic where she had love at first sight with Garen which is a prequel to the Mageseeker RPG and a continuation of the Lux comic. Mel was in the same place where a pregnant young Ambessa fought in the Blood sweat and tears cinematic. Leblack and Vladimir are apparently talking about darkin who will survive Twilight of the Gods like Aatrox,... apparently Valeeva sister of Varus could be the New 5th darkin champion for League of Legends???

[@gorlithia]

This cinematic goes so hard. Love your reactions. For my lore dump that no one would probably find of great importance: The gate arch thingy is called a Noxtoraa, which are erected by Noxus to signify the place is part of Noxus, or conquered by them. Which in this case is the capital of Noxus, the Immortal Bastion, the huge building Mel looks at in the distance. In her vision, she seems to be fighting the Grey Legion, or at least the blood mages aka hemomancers. The ice club that Trundle wields is a True Ice weapon that only a rare kind of people called Iceborn can wield comfortably without suffering death or excruciating frostbite.

[@silver9wolf6]

Mel painted the Immortal Bastion in season 1 of arcane as well right? :D

[@gorlithia]

@silver9wolf6 yes

[@Iliasmadmad]

The Iceborn still fell a lot of pain when holding them

[@gorlithia]

@@Iliasmadmad yes, like when Sejuani has to to bite on leather when she wields her weapon in her short story

[@HollieSavesBees]

at the end, that was leblanc, leader of the Black Rose. It's was also Leblanc in arcane who kidnapped Mel and appeared as a black shadow, giving her the necklace. which is probably why you recognize her voice.

[@malles285]

I believe the actress is also Minnie Driver (at least she was in Arcane).

They fortiched the characters and they look glorious. Can't wait to see the new series when it comes out.

[@fbo_rik]

fortiched is a great verb :D

[@rega5888]

25:53 Vladmir is Viego's uncle, that why they look similar. Trundle's weopn is made out of true ice, he got it from a very powerful ice witch - Lissandra, but that is the whole other story, so if you want to know what is true is and who is Trundle you should read his biography. Also even though I would be more exited to see Darius's brother - Draven, whow you saw in the Awaken cinematic, I still was amazed by that fight scene with Trundle, I watched it like a 100 times

[@ClaudieTV]

Ah gotcha ok!

[@Itisoverthere-rw]

Wasn't Vladimir like 500 years before Viego?

[@Iliasmadmad]

​@@Itisoverthere-rw A very distant uncle, but still his uncle

[@Itisoverthere-rw]

@Iliasmadmad If I found a distant ancestor from the time of the Fall of Constantinople I wouldn't call him a distant uncle. This is how distant the two characters are.

[@augustofranca3446]

​​@@IliasmadmadVlad is viego's father brother, he was sent by his brother king to the east as a embassador, but why he sides with le Blanc is yet to uncover, probably he never returned to camavor because he knows his brother was dead, and ALL the story that unfolded in shadows Island, Elise is from the Black rose, só she knows everything that happened on the Island, so os Vlad because of her

[@blurrest]

The camera movement when Trundle tries to cut off Darius' head is so frickin cool. It's like someone was filming the fight and ran towards them while holding their camera to get a closer angle/look.

She probably looks fairly different without her mask on. Peoples brains play tricks on them when they see non-symetrical faces that should be symetrical. They'll unconsciously replace the parts that 'don't fit' with familiar visuals that match from memory.

[@aranthur]

I love how Katarina uses the space to her advantage in the fight. She isn't there to defeat the spider lady, she's there to assassinate that man the spider is protecting, and she manages to subtly dance around into position to kill him with a no look backhand spin WHILE dodging the attacks of her opponent. Then she smirks because she knows that move was dope

[@gorlithia]

15:33 it's the effect of True Ice that froze Darius's hand. It's a type of ice that only a few rare kind of people called Iceborn that can weild comfortably without dying or experiencing excruciating pain of frostbite.

[@Iliasmadmad]

The Iceborn STILL feel excruciating pain, everyone else simply di s when touching true ice, even things corrupted by it... That makes Darius MUCH MORE BADASS cuz even for a very short amount of time he held a corrupted weapon..❤

[@tommasomadaffari8200]

9:42 This Cinematic takes place immediately after Arcane, in fact Mel lands at Noxus and Darius is also younger. The events of Arcane are located about 10 years before the current story.

[@solisargregory5609]

we don't know that for sure Alex said in the Necrit interview that it's not a public info and they let's say not decided yet how they want to go with the timeline Also it is very possible that the 10 year thing is correct but even that not specify that who's ruleing Noxus or that the Ionian invasion happened or not yer

And personally I just find the Arcane style extremely appealing even if it's not as 'pretty' in a surface way.

[@gman7497]

@@lldrumr9095 in a purely visual sense, sure. But they also (imo) are too uncanny valley to put into a show. They work in quick bursts of action where you're not picking up on small imperfections in lip sync, eye motions, stuff like that. In fact idk that any chars talk in those cinematics and there's probably a good reason for that. Also Fortiche is basically Riots partner now, the own minority stake in it. The other cinematics are contracted out to various other FX and animation houses. So Fortiche is the closest thing to an actual in-house studio at this point.

Darius is the general of noxian army and in this cinematic he's fighting with trundle who declared himself as king in a nordic region. the spiderwoman(who fights with katarina) is elise and she is a member of black rose order as well. loved your reaction. thank you :)

[@mathies3598]

they are a lot more noble that you would think though. their cause involves trying to stop an insane powerful brutal metal emperor from taking over and conquering lands even more than Noxus already does. they need as much power as they can possibly attain just to be able to deal with him, so thats why they were going after hextech, Mel, and now seemingly the weapons of the darkin (which is leblancs "bolder move"). also the spider lady Elise is also part of the black rose!

If you look closely Mel's face IS different. The biggest difference between this and arcane is simply that it's far more detailed, like there are detailes and textures on Mel's face that were only implied by larger brushstrokes in arcane, but are fully realized in this video. The close ups of eyes in this video are probably the most obvious difference, because these eyes are incredibly detailed and arcane just has impressionistic brushstrokes. Basically in arcane, raw brushstrokes are used "fake" texture and are therefore always visible (think Bob Ross), but this video uses much smaller brushstrokes to create much more intentional textures, making it much harder to notice individual brushstrokes. It keeps a lot of the stylization from arcane though in terms of facial structure and proportions, so mel stepping into this artstyle is nearly seamless. 100% would love the next league show to use this artstyle!

A lil fun fact : Leblanc and Vladimir are the founders and true leaders of Noxus , from the shadows. They lived for thousands of years and most Noxians are not even aware of their existence , considering them an urban legend and believing that they died long ago along with the entire black rose cult . They are extremely powerful dark mages , especially Leblanc , as she can be in many different places at the same time and steal the appearence of other people .

[@ckhayne2]

yeah, i like how they portrayed her here with, let's call it her weave. She is watching all 3 stories as they are happening. She probably has a clone at the party, in Mel's army, and one with Darius.

[@thebossbrothers123]

I also like how Vladimir is a twist on the classic vampire tropes. He uses this Bloodmagic to empower and heal people more often than using it to destroy or control others. Additionally, it is arguable that LB and Vlad are a couple, don't take my word for it tho. The two do atleast have a *sort of* child in Briar who they made with bloodmagic. Briar has a voiceline for vlad asking "should I call you Vlad or Dad!?".

[@Iliasmadmad]

Ok, so Leblanc is drawing what scenes we see, hinting that she monitors all; first she draws a wolf with the Medarda symbol referencing Mel, then a dagger referencing Kata, then a weird (probably old) sigil of the Triferix referencing Darius, then the dagger getting engulfed by a spider referencing Kata's fight with Elise and at the end she draws sth that we don't know what it is. Some say it's referencing a darkin, some say it's referencing Bilgewater. (I lean towards the latter by I can be wrong)

[@mrbismarck]

Some fun stuff in this one - the wolf image on the wall at the beginning overlays Mel on the beach as that shot transitions, so you go from looking at a wolf to looking at _The_ Wolf. The marking on the wolf's forehead looks like the Madarda family crest. Then the weird masquerade mask in the early Katarina scene has eight eyes, foreshadowing you know who (Elise) who's about to come in off the wall. And you have to presume that's a paid hit on that slouching guy, because when Katarina finally cuts him he bleeds money.

[@TopHatCat1989]

Always fun to watch. I think you're right, Piltover definitely has a greek vibe to it whilst the Noxians are inspired more by the Romans. Mostly in the way they dress with those red cloaks. This cinematic shows that LoL and Arcane are getting closer in terms of both story telling and art direction, using that great Fortiche style at least for the cinematics. Back in the day, the 2010s, the style was definitely hyper sexualised, but recently it's become closer to a humanised style. Definitely an improvement in a lot of ways.

In terms of style I’d argue it’s most likely just Fortiche‘s own development over the years. This is just their most recent work. Just like Arcane stepped up the animation in between seasons.

Interesting fact: Katarina doesn't have magic, but she does have it in her daggers. Her magician friend performed a blood ritual with Katarina's consent, which connected her to daggers. After the ritual, she can have an infinite number of daggers, control them with telekinesis and teleport to them (in cinematic, there is even a moment when the latter ability is used).

I feel like I'm alone in thinking the spider lady is hotter than Katarina. Also, the art style isn't quite the same. There are subtle differences.

Please, if you like to do it that way, then don’t stop. I’ll speak for myself, but I hope also for majority of the people here, that I’m here not for the continuous video. I’m here for your genuine emotions, comments and reactions. Yes, you should listen to comments and what the youtube algorithm tells you to do, but I think it all should be more like a suggestion than a rule. Don’t be scared of stopping and commenting any time you like, but I think you doesn’t need to force it for the sake of algorithm. Overdoing those things usually leads in losing your own personality in videos, and making it more like a chore than something you would like, and then can came a burnout. I don’t think you’re overdoing it now, but I really wouldn’t like to see an amazing reactor like you to be lost. “You got a good heart. Don’t ever lose it.” - Vander P.S.: If you would want to know more about the League of Legends and Arcane world, I suggest Necrit to you. I know you heard about him a lot, but he have absolute amazing videos for Arcane fans lately. And from what I know, he doesn’t mind when people are reacting to him. He sometimes even joking about it. And more importantly; It’s just an free advertisement for him. 😁

P.P.S: sorry for the length of the comment 😅

[@ClaudieTV]

Thank you so much for this comment. It was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you and I'm glad you enjoy the reaction :)

@@ClaudieTV Anytime ☺️

[@AmyOhio]

I love your reactions, I'm so excited for this. Wonder when it's coming out.

[@ClaudieTV]

Thank you so much! Honestly hard to tell, my best guess is 2026 before we see a show with these characters in. This is for the game, as far as I'm aware!

[@taetoro]

I didn't find the comment! Anyway, if the Leagues start doing their cinematic with Arcane style from now on, I will be very excited! 13:45 Welp, sound fun, can't wait to watch your reaction over full frontal Mizu 😂

[@xemz7785]

3:39 😅 I really need CaitVi spinoff fighting crimes together ♥️

[@ClaudieTV]

Like Sherlock and Watson :)

[@gowzher9962]

Welcome home Mel there are no nerd scientists here I think you'll miss them

[@ClaudieTV]

Yeah haha, she's going to be a little out of her depth here

[@Kyladub]

I can't believe you popped into my head when I watched the cinematic for the first time. I was losing my mind over Mel, and Katarina, and Leblanc, and at some point I paused and thought to myself "Oh when Claudie sees this..."

[@ClaudieTV]

Good to know I'm making my mark hahaha

[@WhatTheHell116]

Its interesting that you said thats Vile, when the big spider is there. The Character Katarina is fighting is named Elise, She was giving powers from a spider god named Vilemaw.

[@FallenPears]

The deal with the ice is basically there's special magic ice up in the north called True Ice which kills anyone who touches it (unless you're Iceborn which is basically a special magic talent which makes you immune). Trundle (giant blue troll guy) uses a mace made of it, and it effected the axe. Darius (axe guy) surviving even just with how little exposed he was is a major feat in and of itself. Also the reaction to Katarina is understandable lmao, but I gotta show support to my favourite spider lady, she was wonderfully unsettling here and I loved it.

[@jean-louiscordieri9330]

Cannot wait for Blue Eye Samouraï! Happy to see you like the show! 😃

[@ClaudieTV]

Ah I adore it!

[@Mephzice]

The thing with true ice, the troll is holding a frost club with a shard of true ice in it. Being in contact with true ice kills you, hence Darius touching it is crazy, his arm would be destroyed that is why it's frozen like that after just briefly holding the axe that was in contact with true ice. At the end are two leaders of Black Rose, Vladimir (Viego is related to him) and Leblanc Oh and Katarina is taken, back off Miss. Garen's future wife.

[@ClaudieTV]

oh no oh no oh no

[@wartyrant8627]

@ 😩 le sigh, Fortiche got them facial expression thangs thangin’ 🫣

[@Cos.e]

I know a lot of people prefer the fortiche art style but for me personally, I feel like if I see too many cinematics or things in the same really stylised art style, I'll get sick of it, so its better, for me at least, to savor it in small doses and so I actually like having game cinematics in different art styles because once you've been exposed to something for a long time it starts to feel less special

[@Roxadri]

I know what you mean, and I could be totally agree, it is always much better to appreciate diversity in art, but, this is like an introduction to what is coming after Arcane, isn't it? I mean, this is not a cinematic for the video game, is it? So it makes sense to keep the Fortiche style, in this case at least.

[@Roxadri]

Oh a friend just told me this is for the game, oh well... and that apparently, the cinematics of the game are going to be Fortiche style from now on..

[@Cos.e]

​@@Roxadri yeah, I totally agree, I was more so referring to when in other videos or comments people have been saying how they don't like the art style of the other older cinematics and/or they prefer the fortiche/arcane style, which is totally fine, everyone has preferences when it comes to art, I was just trying to show another perspective about the topic and how the differences in style aren't necessarily a bad thing and it doesn't have to be an either or thing but instead we can have both

[@Cos.e]

​@@RoxadriI mean they're brilliant artist and I'm sure all the cinematics they'll do will look great, I just wish people were a little less harsh about the different styles or hell even the desings because there are a bunch of artist who worked really hard on those too

[@Roxadri]

@@Cos.e Yeah, I'm totally agree as an artist myself 😅 people should not belittle the work of others, because for sure it has been hard, animation is very laborious. I don't like all the animation styles I see, but I'm not going to say it's bad either, when it's just not the style I like.

[@Jaemy_art]

18:23 Funny you said that. Because Vladimir is Viego's uncle!! Thats why they look alike.

[@jalcome4201]

if they find a artstyle that is close enough to Arcane, and still faster to do, and if that has to be 3d, so be it. Everybody wins. Looks bloody good for all i care

[@ckhayne2]

and that's when the trouble started..... That smile..... that damned smile.

[@MrNaxo23]

It's funny that you said Vladimir resembles Viego, because he is actually his uncle (in League lore).

[@dumindahashan5568]

vladimir is viego's uncle. so yeah.. they kinda look same

[@szonin1961]

Darius (the axe guy) is fighting Trundle (king of Trolls). Trundle is an iceborn who uses a weapon that is true ice. Anyone who is not an iceborn gets frostbitten when they touch true ice.

[@Hyp333R]

Fun fact: Katarina is literally Juliet of League of Legends. Her boyfriend Garen is the very embodiment of all the greatest and most noble ideals upon which Demacia was build, hes the greatest Demacian soldier and a best friend of Demacia's king. Because she is Noxian their relationship is forbidden and they need to keep this a secret, but literally everybody knows about this so i dont know why Riot still goes into ''Romeo & Juliet'' type relationship. Every quotes, voice lines suggest that everybody knows, even the king of Demacia.

[@CoffeeMugTwentyFive]

It's becoming clearer that Riot and Fortiche are a good pairing of IP and animation. Riot definitely put Fortiche on the map. Personally, no shade to Villeneuve's "DUNE", I would love to see Fortiche's version of Jordorowsky's DUNE.

[@petrameyer1121]

Riot bought a part of Fortiche, I look forward to many years of fruitful cooperation.

[@CoffeeMugTwentyFive]

@@petrameyer1121 I hope we move into Valorant stories too. (not any time soon)

"Absolutely terrifying. Vile. Awful. Dont like it...... But I'll probably end up having a crush on her". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 At least you're honest

Vlad is Viego Uncle -- its complicated lol

[@yunusemreyc]

[@No1fan15]

Also- good guess with Viego, because Vladimir is actually his uncle!

well well cait and vi got competition by a spider girl :XD

Nah not the spider girl, the assassin for sure haha

[@tomiboyy]

@@ClaudieTV Haha sure? was pretty obvious for me --> what you hate most you love the most? is this a thing? :D just kidding; love your reaction as always!

[@Brutalhonesty11]

The second this trailer hit, i knew who was going to be happy.

[@shinyuxie8412]

That is veigos uncle Vladimir

[@CupOfRice1]

The characters are Mel, Katarina, Elise (Spider lady), Darius (the better jayce daddy), Trundle (fighting Darius), Le Blanc (The deciever/ the one with black tips on fingers) Vladimir (The guy with Le Blanc)... Expected if ever this turns into a series, Swain (General of Noxus), Samira (Black rose), Talon, Viego, Mordekaiser (Reason why Le Blanc wants the world rune), Lucian, Senna, Thresh, Ryze (Protector of runes) World rune, is what Le Blanc wants to have.

[@zackkwam134]

Relating Vlad to Viego, Vlad is hos uncle I think or something along those lines so it's cool that you saw a resemblance.

[@jeroenmandersloot]

I believe Minnie Driver voices LeBlanc here, which is why she may have sounded familiar. She also voiced the Black Rose sorceress in Arcane so it's all but confirmed that that was indeed LeBlanc all along.

[@ClaudieTV]

THAT'S WHO IT IS! KNEW I RECOGNISED IT!

[@egfu2393]

I mean, her interaction with Mel when she killed Ambessa pretty much confirmed it from that point if you know

[@andrianamourti4215]
