Reacting To The Cinematic Of League Of Legends: Still Here | Season 2024

[@hima9211]

really impressive sense of deduction of whats happening, I just think tho that you may didnt notice (or you did but you didnt mention it) is that the main reason Tryndamere don't die during his "fight" with Kindred is because his eyes are glowing red meaning he is in rage with his Ultimate, lore related tryndamere ult make him unkillable due to an ancient blood magic that is linked to Aatrox, as soon as his ultimate is about to end Kindred is about to deliver the fatal blow but Ashes save him from death just in time.

[@TheReelSym]

Thank you for the comment and kind words. I did notice that but didn't make the connection to his ult...makes sense as you explain it, plus he when back to normal after Ash saved him.

[@SupportMainSpartain]

Really quickly tho since he was "cursed" by Aatrox doesn't that mean he's also Immortal like him as well (kinda like an olaf thing where when he's close to death his Undying rage triggers) cause Aatrox WANTS to die but b/c he's a darkin he physically cannot die and the reason he wants to destroy the world is because his logic says if there is no world then there is no blade for me to return to so I can die. I assert that b/c he was cursed by Aatrox he cannot die until aatrox is ready to claim him as his next host (which is heavily implied as to why he cursed trynd in the first place)

[@Auditore_2023]

Did you noticed that only Wolf "part" of Kindred "fights" Tryndamere? Tryndamere always refuses to die, which means he escapes from the death again and again and killing who tries to escape is always the Wolf's job that's, extremely cool btw. And Fun fact: Kindred used their W to fight Tryndamere)

[@epic-o2215]

good analysis but theres a couple of things that you missed or misinterpreted. The figure in the flame when Aatrox is sealed, is kindred, the arrow that "kills" Yasuo, is Kindreds arrow with the eyes of the wolf appearing over the forest trees. This whole cinematic is about Kindred "I am still here" is very much about death being ever present and unstoppable, even for beings like Tryndamere/aatrox, it never stops trying. Finally, Kindred is and isn't present with Tryndamere. Tryndamere is near death, so he starts to hallucinate the 6ish soldiers, as kindred. His attacks against the wolf and lamb are the attacks from the humans attacking him, his near death mind/brain just interprets them all as the wolf and lamb (grim reaper), he isnt in another world, he's just fighting on instinct even though his perception of reality is warped. He probably does this a lot and "sees" Kindred all the time due to his undying rage curse, so he's intimate with death aka Kindred, therefore is not taken aback by her appearance. At the beginning, the figure he sees approaching could be interpreted as Kindred, but it could also be Ashe in the distance, meaning the whole fight and Ashe's approach are mere moments apart, but again his warped perception makes it feel otherworldly and longer. Tryndamere kills 4 soldiers in his haze, and the last 2 are killed by Ashe before they can strike Tryndamere because he cannot see them. He wouldn't die due to his curse, but he still feels a lot of pain and is still on the brink of death. Ashe walks literally on top of Kindred because as you said, they are only present in Trynd's head, but her visage is enough to calm him down (love!) and ends his rage and restores his vision of the world (shown by the darkness and fog and kindred all disappearing and the light that was present in the beginning of the setpiece reappearing as the arrows fly by trynd) You did accurately deduce that kindred stops attacking, once there are no more soldiers meaning Trynd cannot die at this time, but if there was even 1 solder, she would still be trying. But again, it's only symbolic, since Kindred isn't really real and is just the concept/personification of death in runeterra

[@egemenbora]

Always good to see you back.

[@TheReelSym]

Thanks egemenbora!

[@monierjoyner]

That arrow coming toward Yasuo is actually kindreds arrow giving a swift death. You can see the silhouette of wolf in the shadows underneath the arrows too

[@HenryHeimlich]

It is the Lamb in the fire outline at the end of the first sequence.

[@TheReelSym]

Thanks. Make sense...more sense than fiddle

[@cillafawn281]

I'll never fully be able to describe how I felt when I saw Kindred in a cinematic, and being the main focus of one too. I was genuinely crying with joy. They're my favourite characters of all time, from _any_ piece of media, and seeing them in the spotlight where they belong made me so incredibly happy ☺Loved your reaction and breakdown!

[@mironeto5]

Great react and deduction, one more subscribe from Brazil!

[@MrMeddyman]

Great stuff Sym! Loved your breakdown of this cinematic! Cant wait to see more of your content again in the future 😊🙏

[@Cruxypoo]

Welcome back

[@TheReelSym]

Cheers thanks for watching

[@CapitanDePlai]

Great reaction and insight!

[@TheReelSym]

Appreciate that. Thanks!

[@Doominator10]

Welcome back brother. What a good time to be alive. Happy new years. Don't miss Kindred's arrow at Yasuo or Wolf staring at him. I like to think Morgana is in such pain because she's an empath, and her chains are all about letting each other feels each other's pain... but no one is in more constant pain than Aatrox. Oops.

[@TheReelSym]

Happy new year to you too! I hope all is well. Yes I managed to miss that the first time around somehow. Her ult on Aatrox in this reminds me of how it is in the game: you press it, think you can front line , and then after three seconds just die :)

[@jacoballey21]

in the first scene, it is actually ashe approaching not kindred.

[@xPureAndTheTaintedx]

You're the first person ive seen realise its yasuo the first time he lifts his head a little. The scar is a dead give away but no one seems to make that connection.

[@Zguilvozh]

Every culture worships Kindred, although some exclusively worship one of them. In this case, Tryndamere's tribe worships Wolf, so it is natural for them to "fight them" even though Wolf always wins. They do not embrace death, but fight it. Trynd's ability allows him to have a chance of surviving. It is very hard to survive Kindred's hunt.

[@solemnshadow3075]

the last arrow in yasuo scene is kindred arrow, you can alos see the wolf shadow in the back, yasuo just gave up on using the windwall like he did in the climb and just accepted death

[@TheReelSym]

Nice spot I never fully noticed that. I think they are releasing his new skin based on the cinematic soon....looks great.

[@CZ2_Delta]

@@TheReelSym Indeed, it was him accepting his death peacefully in that possible future. If you noticed during the fight vs the masked dudes, he didn't kill anyone and was reticent to fight them using the wind technique. He used the wind to toss them aside, disabling them without drawing blood. Even the leader that was running away, Yasuo saw all the arrows and figured he would get caught in it, so he shoved him away with wind before closing his eyes and accepting Kindred's gift.

[@adriankuban2904]

#Dev update Lore and more / Necrit League changed entire lore Legends of Runeterra & The Awaken, Warriors, The Call, Still Here Cinematic are canon to Arcane Universe. Just like Riot Forge Games: Song of Nunu;....

[@joonassippola4064]

Been a while

[@TheReelSym]

Just a little. I had to do a video to this one. Will be keeping my eye out for the Arcane trailer when it drops.

[@litrize1]

For me this is the Best one yet. Aside from the lore heavy aspect of it Kindred has been my favorite champ since they came out so there is a bit of bias. I have been waiting for them to be in a cinematic for a very long time.

[@TheReelSym]

I cant be mad at that.....its a great cinematic. Lets hope they keep this quality going forward.

[@RedVM]

Now imagine if they used the old aatrox design since that happened in the past
