Braum is genuinely one of my favorite characters, he is basically a wandering superhero, a legend in the Freljord. Known obviously for his bravery, muscle, and mustache, but most importantly his kindness and selflessness. The kind of person we should all aspire to be.

[@dmitryche884]

Is it the mustache? 😅

[@hammeroftyr]

I believe he's heavily inspired by folk heroes and tall tales like Paul Bunyan.

27:34 funny thing, that this is actually true, that is how the mountain was created. P.S I love your editor with each vid more and more. The fact that he put straight facts into his notes, without any subjective opinions so you can experience your own impression from the region proves that he's a big man.

[@hungryrabbiddawg]

I try to keep the notes clean, but you can't catch me speaking properly when Evelynn's involved ;) Meesh & Dee have been the best at following the lore, for these reactions and in their own time - I couldn't ask for better folks to help guide through all this League lore. Thanks for watching them on their deep dives!

[@itsgonnabeokay9341]

Where the monsters come from? They are natural to the world. Just like bears irl. What you saw in the Demacian cinematic is obviously a dragon. Some live near Demacia so that is why they fought one.

So for every character that you guys are clicking through on the website, there is also a small little bio page that has a couple paragraphs, as well as a short story that’s also just a couple of paragraphs. Some of them are really cool!

[@fyfas]

I just wanna say its so SO cool to watch another youtubers (couple :P) getting invested in LOL lore after loving Arcane. First one was channel "Carlie & Ange" who went HAM into the lore, watched and read pretty much everything there is (or at least easily digestible) and their community made even some trivia and tests to test their knowledge :D Its so satisfying to me to watch someone get exited to learn totally different, RICH world that has been slowly but surely building up to be realized into media outside of the game(s) itself. You are gonna be loremasters soon and ready for anything Riot cooks in the future I am sure :P

[@hungryrabbiddawg]

lel. I was there for Carlie & Ange too, along with the help of a team and MasterofPuppets (he's hiding here somewhere). Meesh and Dee really are diving into it! Thanks for watching

[@MeeshDeeReacts]

@fyfas yesss! We couldn’t do it without the amazing guide of our editor and MoP 🤩❤️ can’t wait to dive into more lore with y’all! -M&D

[@ESP_Blinks]

One of the best things about how the different regions have been created is that in reality there are not really good and bad, not everything is black and white, but grays. Demacia look like the good guys but then we remember that they have literally caused a holocaust against the wizards (many of them are born with powers not looking for them) separating parents from their children. Noxus who look like the bad guys, on the one hand they are "forced" to conquer due to the type of land where their capital is, it is full of black rock (which is used to make armor) this rock does not allow life, so they look for resources elsewhere (not in a friendly way). But on the other hand they offer to be citizens of Noxus as long as they are strong enough (and it is not only physical strength). And finally the Targon mountain has been literally pinched by the gods and raised, in this case the gods are the beings called as celestials and they use the mountain to transform mortals into the rank of demigods, like Leona or Pantheon.

[@BurnDem101]

Lol Dee being so excited that she could barely make it through the intro 😂

[@visionaryhi3937]

2:52 Demacia 7:54 Noxus 12:58 Freljord 17:59 Piltover/Zaun 21:25 Ionia 27:22 Targon

[@crispychicken9298]

To learn A LOT about the whole world, I recommend Necrit's video: "The World of Riot's MMO is Already Done" Trust me. You don't need any prior knowledge about LOL or MMO RPGs. Sure, it isn't a flashy cinematic, but nothing beats it in terms of amount of information.

[@steffanhymer1285]

Targon is this worlds Olympus. The astral beings of the world you could kind of call gods reside overtop of it where they are capable of judging and blessing those who ascend if they deem them worthy.

[@77Night77Shade77]

It's even better when you consider that Braum's voice actor is the same as Vander's.

[@NapoleonSoares]

Your editor did a phenomenal job of setting up the major ideas/backgrounds of the videos. 10/10 for them.

[@Waamaru]

You can look up the full story of each character in the "universe tab" the little paragraph you see below champions are indeed teasers of their full story, but you can read the full one !

[@ErisianRomantic]

32:40 Idk if ya'll noticed and didn't say anything, but in those demonstrations of the abilities in game, each champ is going against their archnemesis or counterpart. Garen Vs Darius, Diana Vs Ex Girlfriend, etc. Leona was one of my first favorite champions, and to this day, forever actually, I will still play her in jungle, because I fing can. Leona has some of the most epic skins. I wish ya'll had glanced through them.

[@liamailiam]

garens ult is one of the strongest. when you get ulted it actually feels like being punched irl

[@MrTjonke]

The funny thing when you put 2 or more ninjas in your team, like Shen and Akali, in League of Legends they have 1 lower health, because ninjas want to work alone. It's such a miniscule amount of lesser health (a champion can have 5,000 or more), but makes a fun thing.

[@dylancraven3979]

So glad you got to these. Akali is undoubtedly the champion I am most excited to follow in a future series. Her character, the social and political tensions building around her, explorations of pacifism and self-sefense in war, and all set against the gorgeous landscapes of Ionia and the Spirit Realm.

[@ghostfaceninjakilla1]

To the editor: I like the order you went with for showing Meesh and Dee the cinematics. Save the best for last.

[@ennixx_6604]

Btw Leona and Diana were girlfriends u guys should react to their story

[@lokitopacheco]

Runeterra (the planet) is a world shaped by different types of magic, and each region tends to have a different cultural focus. Piltover and Zaun: They developed technologies that could extract and utilize magic from Hextech (artificial magic crystals) and Chemtech (such as shimmer). Demacia: After suffering greatly from magical wars in the past (the ones Heimerdinger warned about in Arcane), they banned all types of magic and imprison everyone born with the gift of using magic. Their culture revolves around Petricite, a magical mineral that can absorb all kinds of magic. Noxus: A society based on strength and the conquest of other kingdoms, they use all kinds of magic as long as it benefits the realm. Freljord: A frozen land with a race of Iceborn (superhumans) and Gods who were created along with the planet. These gods are worshiped and grant shamanic powers to some tribes. Ionia: This region has the closest connection to spiritual energy and features a culture with Asian influences. It has various temples that train spiritual power (like the ninjas in the video), and Noxus is attempting to conquer it. Mount Targon: A mountain that has contact with a race of nearly god-like beings from outside the planet, the Celestials, who choose heralds to grant their powers, transforming them into gods on earth (similar to Greek mythology). Bilgewater: A coastal area filled with sea monsters, demons, piracy, and madness.

[@lexiette8343]

Leona and Diana has a cool story which is told in the form of small messages about them on the Universe page you can read its called "Rise with me" and its really cool :)

[@bearstark6898]

Was waiting for this, nice! :)) Also there is a Runeterra map that shows the whole world. "He is like a bear"... yeah there is a bear in Freljord but not him :D

[@marckusiv1297]

A god bear to be exact ;)

[@BlockmaisteR1998]

Just in case you didn't know. You guys said that the text was missing and teasing you. What you read is just the short bio of the champion, there is a whole lot more when looking at the universe page. There you can see the map of Runeterra, as well as read the short stories and color stories for the champions :)

[@ErisianRomantic]

It's so nice to find a new channel working ya'll's way through the GOAT damn cinematics. Ya'll found a real nice ride to be on.

[@TexasSnyper]

One really awesome aspect I like is many would view Demacia as "the good guys" but is a region of oppression and public mage hate. Meanwhile Noxus would normally be seen as "the bad guys" but they are very much a nation of Meritocracy and equality.

[@chainsawboy2388]

They may be conqueors but every time before they invade a town/nation they send an envoy with terms that say if the region willingly lay down their arms and joins Noxus then no blood would need to be shed by either side. They have their own problems but with Swain at the helm he’s doing a great job slowly getting all the corruption out.

[@kubka4]

@@chainsawboy2388 Sorry, but that's a really lame reason to call them "good". There are much better examples of "good" elements in Noxus than "We'll be so gracious to let you live if you surrender and let us conquer you against your will."... The absolute meritocracy in Noxus is good and bad at the same time. Even peasant has chance to become great general, but at the same time the Empire is super ruthless and doesn't care about the "weak" (which includes other nations).

[@ailospjellok7475]

@@kubka4 no one called them good? i dunno what crack you took to see "a ruthless nation of meritocracy and equality" as someone calling them good, no region is just good or bad, because they are really interesting regions so they have their ups and downs, Demacia is a nation of Honor and knightly valor, but at the same time they despise and outright imprison mages for the simple reason of existing, Noxus is a region of equality and strenght, if you are strong enough to become a general or a commander, then you will become it if you want to, it doesnt have the same upper high class bs demacia has, but at the same time it doesnt care about the weak, elderly and sick in their lands, while piltover is a city of the future trying their best to find solutions to modern day problems, they actively ignore their undercity because "well its far enough away to not disturb our work" and actively refuse to help people today because they believe they can find a better solution tomorrow, on the other hand zaun works to survive today, but has no plans for tomorrow, and if you try to interfere with the organised crime or even happen to be in the wrong place, your life will just end, though you are quite free to do whatever you want if you can survive the gas, the freljord obviously has 3 different rules, sejuani who thinks of survival and strenght, ashe who thinks of a brighter tomorrow and a united land for peace, and lissandra who thinks of no real problem they currently have but hyperfixate on the Voids invasion of runeterra, the harsh unending winter that brings a cruel fate to any unprepared, mount targon who thinks highly and supremely of those with the stamina and will to ascend to the mountain, worthy to be given ascendant powers beyond the mind of a regular person, wouldnt hesitate to manipulate and slaughter people for their own survival and comfort

[@PsychoDiesel48]

So glad you guys like Akali. She's my main champion amd has been even before the rework. The glow up was INSANE!!!

15:10 Braum is one bad bitch. Like, the most kind, heroic, gentle mfer. I'd never play him in game, but I'll listen to him talk all day. 21:58 As someone who LOVES playing Shen in the jungle, this is by far my favorite. 27:00 Akali is cool af. I've wanted to try her for years, but she got changes completely so often over so many years, I just kept putting it off.

I honestly think the that Legends of Runeterra is a great way to know the lore more, given that no only the champion cards have voicelines, but pretty much all followers do. Also, every card has a small paragraph that add context or tell a story

[@Serryy]

There is a comic you can read about Shen, the teleporting neon light ninja from Ionia, made by Marvel btw.

[@Alcinaswifefrfr]

It would be fun to watch your guys' reaction to the arcane characters' interactions in game (LOL) as well as the "Warriors" cinematic music video

[@fabiothed6719]

Always nice to see how others look at the world of League. I can highly recommend watching necrit's video where he talks about "the world of riot's mmo", he explains it in the context of a mmo possibly coming in the future but it's a great overview of the world

[@shadxwslash44]

Garen ult "That looks weak" xD I wish it was weak...it's actually one of the most broken abilities in the game, and Garen is also one of the most broken characters in the game. 25:10 And this is exactly why I was a little disappointed when I heard that the long awaited League of Legends show takes place in Piltover & Zaun of all places. But, since Arcane turned out to be amazing, just imagine what they can do with places like Ionia or the Shadow Isles.

[@dempstick7]

I can confirm Garen's Demacian Justice ability is very good. It hits like a truck and does the best type of damage.

[@zed9579]

Targon is like Mount Olympus if u reach the top u get the blessing of a god and turn into his Avatar (Aspect as they call). Leona and Diana are from different tribes and these tribes are Solarians and Lunarians they kind hate each other because of their religion. Most of the power houses of Runeterra come from Either Targon or Shurima the two places where humans can be turn into literal Gods. (And overall gods are really present in the world as a whole) Freljord has tribes like the nordic/vikings they fight each other too, but most because of their bloodlines not religion. They call each others cousins if i'm not mistaken even when they are not really cousins, your tribe is your familiy so they are all cousins. The girl with white hair is a iceborn or "glacinata"(idk if the term is corret in english) , she wields a true ice weapon that's where her powers come from. (Normal people die if they even try to touch a true ice weapon). Ionia is all about Yin Yang and balance heavely inspired by the Eastern mithology/philosophy. They have Fight Noxus in the past and there's some noxians still in Ionia.

the "ruined king" single player game picks up on the story where Yasuo and Ahri sail off. There is a really cool trailer worth checking out.

[@hungryrabbiddawg]

;) Maybe coming soon!

[@PAdmidalaa]

Arcane actually overwrote some of the original lore after Riot announced it will merge all version of their stories into one single canon. That LoR cinematic about Piltover and Zaun still has old ekko and jinx's design from their old versions, and like the riot forge game "convergence" which is a platforming game that tells the story of old ekko, I think they're gonna be retconned from the current lore. This seems to be the case considering the latest iteration of ekko from riot's upcoming fighting game "2XKO" (yes, like Mortal Kombat and Tekken), ekko's design looks a lot like his Arcane version.

[@kavinukas]

How ever tales of runtera are nice, can’t wait for cinematic reaction, they are bests

[@lecwizard]

Necrit's "the world of riot's mmo is already done" video is pretty good in terms of explaining the world and all regions.

[@sumairali1688]

Don't forget to react to champions voice lines after completing the cinematics, they give you insight of each champions and flesh out their characters. My personal recommendations are voicelines of Kindred, Aatrox, Pantheon & Swan!

[@viewer17551]

If you like Akali I recommend the KDA music videos. It’s an out of universe k pop band made out of different league champions

[@phoenixwing5133]

No idea if you've watched it already, but if you'd like to see Akali again (and in a different skin) I recommend watching the music videos of the K-pop girl group Riot Games made. Akali is in the group along with Ahri (nine-tailed fox woman), Evelynn (she's kinda like a succubus), and Kai'sa (the one lady whose body is coexisting with a void organism). It's really good and actually features two members of (G)idle!

[@datsuspicious]

Recommend you guys to also check the other season cinematic New Dawn was 2016 ( don’t watch 2023 because I personally don’t count that one, no champions or new music, just a camera view of in game league of legends map) And I’m sure many others have recommended you Necrit’s MMO video, even though the video was aiming to show how much potential Runeterra is for an MMORPG game, Necrit made the video in a way that it works as a summarized introduction to the world building of Runeterra as a whole, I recommend his video first since it helps you understand where the champions are on sight when they are shown in the cinematic 2017- Legends Never Die 2018- The Climb 2019- Awaken 2020- Warriors 2021- Ruination 2022- The Call 2024- Still Here

[@dempstick7]

I highly recommend watching some of Necrit's videos. Specifically "The World of Riot's MMO is Already Done" it does an amazing job of introducing you to the regions of Runeterra and a little of their backstory. Also don't worry, you don't have to care about the MMO to watch the video.

[@ummmmmmmmmmmnmmmm]

Something to keep in mind is that classes like Mage/Tank/Assassin are just in-game descriptors and are not reflective of their role in the lore. For example Ekko is an assassin in the game because he has high damage, uses a melee weapon and is very mobile but it's not like he's an actual assassin in the lore. Most characters that are a part of the mage class are not mages in the lore.

[@SeanBoyce-gp]

Deep Dive: Demacia and Noxus are basically two sides of the same problem with autocratic hegemonies. Noxus came into being in a place that was overmined and essentially depleted of its natural resources, so they conquer and expand Imperialistically to survive, but when Darius says "Freedom", he's not lying - Noxus isn't a pure meritocracy, but generally they recognize three vital areas of excellence: might (strength in war), guile (cunning and fortune), and vision (planning and strategy). Anything you can do using your natural gifts, like magic or anything like that, to serve yourself and the empire is valued there. In other words, it's easy to get a job and it's hard to get in trouble. Noxians don't just conquer, they assimilate, and any notion, ethnicity, or religion is welcome. They're sort of the ultimate example of 'liberty' vs. 'freedom' - you are free from restrictions and constraints in Noxus, free to do anything, which is one way to see freedom, the freedom to do x / y / z. You heard them say in Arcane that magic ('the arcane") is something you are born with, and generally in Runeterra, that's true, but Noxus maintains a healthy supply of blood mages, which is a magic you can learn (at a rather significant cost), and even one you can pass on, which means that anyone in Noxus can be at least a little magical. By contrast, Demacia is a place you are "free from" things. You don't have to make decisions about what to do with x / y / z because there are laws and nobles that take care of all that for you. You don't have to worry about the dangerous monsters of the woods or the world, because there are noble people who defend the walls and build the towers; you just stay in your place. A downside of that, of course, is that "your place" is wherever you were born, and if you violate any of their rules, you get punished. Those rules are whatever the people in power decide, so if you disagree with it, tough. Worse, their oldest rule is "magic bad." If you happened to be born with magic, Demacia treats you like worse than a prisoner or a secondhand citizen; you're the enemy. You didn't choose this, mind you, you didn't want this. You just woke up one day and could do a magic. But of course, because the power structures are much less about what you can do and what you have and much more about who you are and who you know, poor people born with magic are treated differently that rich people born with magic. Garen's little sister is probably the most powerful magic user born in Demacia in an age or more, but instead of going to prison or an internment camp like any other mage does, because her family is powerful, she's heralded as the "light of Demacia." In other words, both nations are right and both nations are wrong. This is a common thing in Runeterra, where you have two factions that face similar problems but solve them in exactly opposite ways. In Ionia, the factions basically break along "should we go to war to defend our people from invaders" vs "should we instead fight to preserve balance and harmony with the land, regardless of who lives here." You see those views expressed by Shen and Akali - Akali says she's going to teach the Noxian a lesson, and Shen responds "With your steel?" His question is essentially "what can you teach by killing except killing?" And he's *not* wrong. Akali *also* isn't wrong - they can't just sit there and do nothing. But Shen might have, seeing that Ionia itself was handling the "problem." It's the richness of these ideological divides that sets up the League IP for such juicy storytelling, because ideological divides are all well and good until you're face with the reality of *people you care about* being affected, which is basically the whole moral of Arcane.

I think a good video to understand the regions of runeterra is Necrit's video about the MMORPG, there he goes to all regions giving information whitout going too much deep, i think you'll like it.

You should check out "Tales of Runeterra: Bilgewater", "Tales of Runeterra: Shadow Isles" and "Call of the Mountain" - about Targon.

League lore as a whole is pretty complicated for me bcs there's a lot of champions (characters) with their own backstories and pov, but I appreciate seeing the art and work put through them in these animations. I'm looking forward to what Riot would show after Arcane. I hope to see Diana and Leona's story bcs the sun-and-moon theme is awesome but I also know there's pretty heavy conflicts in their world (mostly abt extreme beliefs/religions) and I want to see the relationship between the two characters (as I've been seeing the angst).

You caught Jace'y voice actor in the Targon cinematic but missed Vander's voice actor(Braum) in the Freljord cinematic ;) Also I am sure the Targon cinematic would have been a lot better for you if you new the lore of the 2 aspects ;) Leona and Diana used to be in love but being chosen to be the aspect of sun and moon put them on opposite ends... the intense stare at the end is very remeniscing of both and how it could have been differently for them if they were brave enough to escape that duty (like the couple)...

If you like Akali then you definitely have to check out the phenomenal KDA!!!

Diana and Leona were lover once

[@PilsnerGrip]

I never played League, but I got into the world of Runeterra thru the Legends of Runeterra game, it's free and has amazing art and lore descriptions, and it's overall the best digital multiplayer card game in my opinion! (but they focus a lot on singleplayer now, so if battling online is not your thing, there is actually a lot of single player content) Just watch out there are some spoilers.

Leona and diana are lovers but cannot be together because they’re the only ones who keep their “race” intact

Not sure if you are going to react to season cinematic music videos in this "All te Tales of Runeterra" series but those are the best of the best (Warriors, Awaken, The Call, Still Here). Great reaction!
