Still Here | Season 2024 Cinematic - League of Legends REACTION

I like the Implying part here on tryndamere vs kindred, that every time tryndamere uses his ult(near death) he sees kindred(literal death) instead of his enemies.

[@Bao-no5kx]

As someone who has heavily invested in Kayle and Morgana's growth and development since season 3, I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction to seeing them show up. It's almost waxing poetic as they are some of the few people who have witnessed (nearly) all of Valoran/Runeterra's history. But beyond that they are also part of the OG crew and they appear in one of the very first original League cinematics. Their depiction as the "Past" sequence is multifold and a brilliant homage to when the game had much humbler and smaller origins. Riot also does extremely well with storyboarding their cinematics to invoke a lot of thought and symbolism that ties characters together. In the beginning of this scene, we see that Kayle is the one who takes the intiatives (eyes towards the sky and leading her sister, swinging at Aatrox first, etc.) She is also more prone to the more immediate and swift sort of judgement given she clashes with Aatrox than Morgana, who tends to sweep around his attacks and doesn't use her sword nearly as much as her sister does. And the one time she does actually try to strike him, he simply grabs her. Symbolically, it could be interpreted as Morgana's reluctance to direct, physical clashes as her judgement style (her belief that each person is capable of redemption.) But when Aatrox lands with his army marching behind him, Morgana is the one who actually takes the initiative first. She knows that there's no longer any room for mercy, and after casting aside her armaments she uses her celestial magics to bind him. Kayle looks up and when her vision focuses on Morgana, the sun is wreathing her sister like an angel despite her differences to what is deemed an "angel. It signifies that Morgana's intentions are the same as Kayle's (they both want to protect their home, no matter the cost.) Even if this was the spark that caused their separation and Kayle's disdain for Morgana's style of justice, between their synchronized flights and the combination of Morgana chaining Aatrox down and Kayle's divine inferno consuming him, they are two sides to the same coin. It took both of them to stop him (also due to their lack of being full fledged aspects) so neither could claim victory alone. It should also be noted during this scene, the music depicts the urgency of their encounter against Aatrox, who is aptly named "the World Ender." Especially the bone-chilling drop when Morgana finally embraces her seemingly forsaken gifts.

The cinematic is about the Past, Future and Present The Past, is of Kayle and Morgana, before they decided to go their separate ways of dealing with justice. It also explains how Aatrox already knows them despite not knowing Demacia itself, simply cuz at the time this happened Demacia wasn't Demacia yet The Future is of Yasuo, finghting one last time before accepting the arrow of the Lamb The Present is of Tryndamere, and his non acceptance of death, both by the Wolf and the Lamb, due to his partial "anger fueled blood magic"

I really love how Kindred act in this cinematic. The lamb looks very cold, calm, and really take her time while the wolf has his claws now!! That scene that the lamb was genuinely curious after Trynd tried to attack her is really good. As a proper death incarnate, they don't understand how can this human fight them off and why. And that wolf eyes in the middle of arrow rains, that's really good.

[@georgieegames]

every scene with kindred in was just incredible, seeing them after knowing who they are just has this incredible impact and seeing how both the lamb and the wolf move complementing each other was insane! I also didn't recognise lambs voice at the beginning until I watched it again while editing omg! SO GOOOOD

I don't think that ashe even saw kindred, only trynd did. When his death was no longer certain because ashe came to back him up she disappeared to him.

[@JM-nothing-more]

[@Shaggit]

Yeah this whole cinematic has to do with Kindred claiming champions. In the past Morg and Kayle kill Aatrox. Right as the flames from Kayle hit you see a shadow before it transitions to Yasuo who is an old man in his last fight. The bright light from the heavens and him closing his eyes is him dying. Much like how he closes his eyes and splits the arrow before activating his wind. The end is Tryn fighting Kindred in his ult before being saved by his wife, Ashe.@@georgieegames

OH nvm! It's right before the transition to old Yasuo scene

[@morbidmaroonzero9693]

As a Kindred main, I lost my mind with this cinematic. Seeing how Tryndamere struggles to fend off the two has me feeling things. If he always fights Kindred when he uses his ult then this puts a different perspective on his character.

[@IKTXIII]

Kindred's voice 0:04 Tryndamere seeing Kindred while he is near death 0:24 Kindred coming for Aatrox when kayle hit him. well technically just waiting in the fire(methaor that deaths is always waiting) we all know Aatrox is alive. 1:40 Wolfs' Eyes on the trees While kindred shoots the last arrow to Yasuo, seemingly accepting death 2:50 Tryndamere fighting of the embodiment of death themselves while using the bloodmagic that was given to him by aatrox. Kindred leaves after Ashe saves him. For now he once again escaped death. Such subtle hints, such good story telling love this cinematic.

[@dylancraven3979]

Same here. Kindred are far and away my favourite champion in LoL. I always love cultural interpretations and representations of death, and Kindred always had such potential to be incredible.

There's just something about the way Kindred stalks Tryndamere in that cinematic that really resonates with her character. Calm, methodical, patient. She doesn't have to rush, they all come to her in the end.

[@NamNguyen-xf5ep]

7:05 it was back when demacia was still young, and both morgana and kayle are like their protector. I believe this was mentioned in the mageseeker game 8:10 -some might think this was yasuo, since this character does use wind technique, but I think this is more likely a random wind technique user before yasuo, since at the end of his scene (--2:52-- raining arrow part), there's a kindred arrow, signifying the swordsman's death- Edit: nvm me being a dumbass, doesn't notice his scar on the nose Edit 2: 1hour after edit 1, i edited again, since i did note that i was wrong, but still get messages. guys forgive me for this one mistake pls, and i leave it here so people can laugh at this silly idiocy of mine

its signifying past(morgana,kayle),Present (trynda,ashe) and future(old man yasuo) and how in each time period,always death(kindred) is STILL HERE,hence the name of the song.

I'm pretty sure it is Yasuo, just in future, because when he loses his hat and looks up you can see he has that scar on his nose which he got in the battle with Yone

[@themliemnach]

So Kindred are the being that anyone in Runeterra near dead would meet. Tryndamere acutally using his undying rage against enemies he nearly dead so only he saw Kindred, their job is to decide his fate but he reject it and fight to last breath, thanks to Ashe came help him, his life no longer at risk so Kindred have nothing to do here so they dissapeared

[@LeagueofIronHide]

The old man is Yasuo, since Yasuo got the Scar accros his nose which he got during his battle with Yone (His Brother) so yeah thats Yasuo but Old one and he uses all Yasuo's Abilities

[@OpalHydra]

The three stories are all tied to Kindred. They are like the embodiment of death in league, Lamb represents the acceptance of death and Wolf represents the violent struggle against it. The song is Kindred reminding you that they are still there, death is never far away. (and they will always be there, in the past, the present and the future as you can see is also a theme in this video) In the scene with Kayle and Morgana fighting Aatrox you can see Kindred in the fire at the end of the scene. (They are there for the army behind Aatrox close to the end, since we know that the three main characters are still alive since this is an event from the past) The scene with Yasuo (in a future vision) You can in the tree line see Wolf's eyes, but since Yasuo accepted his death Lamb's arrow is the one that took him out. And lastly Tryndamere at the end defies both Wolf and Lamb, fighting against death, with Lamb then lowering her bow at the end as he is SAVED by Ashe. And also see how it implied that he's the only one seeing wolf and lamb as this fight happens since he is on the brink of death, litterally staring death into it's eyes, and he's acctually in another fight against other humans that you can see Ashe shoot at the end to save him, and you see Kindred dissapear since he is no longer "supposed to die". (It's basically tryndameres ultimate in game thats shown here, but from his perspective.)

[@corin471]

Love this explanation! Makes sense 100%

[@EmpyreanDreamer]

An interesting detail is after Tryndamere's fight is over he clearly has claw marks on his armor from wolf so its more than just a symbolic thing in which he see's lamb and wolf in place of the soldiers he was fighting. It's possible both things are actually happening just in different realms so to speak. When he's near death he gets partially pulled into Kindred's domain and he's technically fighting both lamb and wolf while still subconsciously defending against the soldiers. This also explains why the scene is so dark when Kindred appears and why the light returns once he's out of danger.

[@catsordogs5360]

Always nice to see League content from you, lovely reaction as always ❤ And the old man threw me for a loop too! The only people it could possibly be is future Yasuo or Yasuo’s master Souma before Riven accidentally killed him. Riot has never explored lore so far in advance of a characters current state, which makes me think it could be Souma. But the only Ionian conflict I can think of that resembles that scene would be the invasion of Ionia by Noxus, which none of the attackers seem to be. Some of their masks actually resemble the Oni that frequent Ionia, implying this is a future conflict involving Ionian cults. Very interesting regardless!

[@georgieegames]

thank you! Its amazing to make it again! Has been too long, will do more soon!

[@Wladeex123]

Yup, absolutely putting it in my headcanon that Tryndamere is literally fighting Kindred every single time he uses Undying Rage. Also putting it in the headcanon that Kindred actually enjoy this, as Wolf treats Tryndamere as a practice buddy and Lamb just enjoys studying this anomaly in their work and trying to understand "why?". Also reason #73 to dislike Kayle - that look of absolute contempt in 1:52

[@worminaround]

@georgieegames The Yasuo part 😭😭😭, good thing this was only a vision sent by kindred, like I don't want Yasuo to die against just some bandits, also key detail Yasuo tornado's the last guy, physically implying that he could ult and teleport away from the arrows, Riot technically left the vison open ended cuz du, visions are not 100%. I want Yasuo's Death to be peaceful, cuz he's been through enough hasn't he. But if Riot wants to have his death by a blade, I wanted it to be like a heroic death, kinda like sacrificing himself to defeat a big boss or something like that but man I want Yasuo to have peace... man the thing he never had.

[@brunorca]

Riot can easily make the greatest movie ever made in history, they just don't want to. I'm pretty sure the "weird" part with Tryndamere and Kindred is just that he's between life and death in the undying rage. In his head he's fighting Kindred, that represents death, but in reality he's just lost in his rage, fighting those soldiers who are there to finish him off, Kindred is literally death, when Ashe shows up Kindred just knows it's not his time and it all becomes clear, you can see all the dead soldiers around him.

[@ScorpioDRush621]

This whole Cinematic is based around Kindred (Lamb and Wolf). In the World of Runeterra, Kindred is essentially the grim reaper. She collects those in death. there are signs of Kindred in all 3 scenes. the Scenes are broken up into Past, Future, and Present. In the Past, Two Demi-Angels, Kayle (blonde) and Morgana (Brunette) Defended and dealt justice in a Land that would eventually become known as Demacia. The Scene Depicts an area under siege by the Darkin Aatroxx (the demon). Darkin were originally ascendant beings but they were driven mad by the void in a war long ago. Kayle and Morgana are sisters, their Mother is an angel, and they both hold 1 half of their mother's sword. They defeat Aatrox. In the lore, Kayle is stoic and brings justice in a very cold and unemotional way, while Morgana is more affected by the plight of humans and reasons that judgement and justice can be tempered. In the scene Morgana drops her mothers weapon and taps into darker powers to fight Aatrox, you can see the disdain Kayle has for Morgana in the quick glance she gives her, even as she takes up both halves of her mothers sword and causes the firestorm. if you look closely, there is an afterimage in the fire that is Kindred. Then you go to the Future, in Ionia, where we are greeted by an Old man version of Yasuo, the Wind swordsman. After he uses his whirlwind, you see many arrows in the sky coming for Yasuo, including a bright one, which appears to hit him, this is the Arrow of Kindred, claiming Yasuo. if you look in the sky, you can also see the apparent shape of a wolfs head. in the last scene, which would be considered the Present, in Frejord, you see Tryndamere, who has the power to avoid death by tapping into his rage via blood magic. He is married to Ashe, a Frostborn Tribal Leader. In the scene, Trendamere is fighting death (literally) by fighting against Kindred (the Lamb and the Wolf). Tryndamere power in game is literally to become un-killable for a short period of time. As the fight goes on, Kindred lets her bow go because Ashe has arrived, and saves Tryndamere. It's not his time to die.

[@vereornox-xem41c]

I love how Tryndamere's fight against Kindred is represented. While in his ultimate, he is literally fighting off death. He should die here, and They know it. The battle around him fades away, and in place of his enemies he sees the Kindred. Every time he clashes with Wolf he is shrugging off blows from his enemies, and he feels the pain through The Wolf's teeth. Every time he swats away Lamb's arrow is him denying a moment where he could just lie down and pass gently, and he sees the choice in the Lamb's arrow. When Ashe's arrows come over Kindred's shoulders to save Tryndamere from the two enemies about to strike him, the time where he would die has passed, and Kindred vanishes. Because it is no longer his time. His power isn't "Not Dying". He is as mortal as anyone else. His power is awareness of death. He can See them. He can Fight them. Its poetic.

[@khoinguyen5004]

More like, his will to live outsmarted death, but great analysis

[@Nakinyerk]

Aatrox: looking for death Yasuo: accepting death Kindred vs Tryndamere: one is death and the other defies it this cinematic is eye and lore candy. (

[@eXvlslon]

Full story : This is happening in the past. There’s a few ways to tell. First the description of the video gives it away as it’s kindred talking. Second that’s an older version of Demacia, you can tell because it’s still being barricaded with wood and stuff. This is before Kayle and morgana have a falling out. Speaking of which morgana still has her sword in this. Kayle in current lore has both of her mother’s swords, where as in this cinematic each of the sisters were given 1. They’re fighting a weaker older version of Aatrox, likely he just doesent have a strong enough host. The Yasuo cinematic is a possible future where Ionia gets invaded again. The arrow he splits in half pays off fully later when he lets the kindred arrow hit him. He could have split it in half but he’s accepting death here as an old man. I think Yasuo might be the first champion to have a confirmed death. Permanent death. Gone forever. The tryndamere part is happening in the present. Who knows what EXACTLY is happening though freljordians always fight eachother. Because kindred is death, while he IS technically fighting kindred, he’s also fighting off the dudes attacking him. He’s close to death so he sees kindred instead but tryndamere R too op so he manages to fend kindred off until Ashe comes to rescue him, and because Ashe is rescuing him he’s not dying anymore so kindred backs off. Likely not the first or last time Tryndamere will see kindred either. I think the cinematic is hinting that every time he uses his Darkin blood magic to stay alive he’s always in a fight against death

Maybe its old man yasuo or elder soma that trained yasuo and yone?

[@georgieegames]

I think its implied to be old man yasuo but it could be his master! hopefully its clarified somewhere officially!

[@Hwoaarangg]

We really are still here after all these years playing this game Whatever you think of League, it really is something special, Riot really knows how to drop a banger when it matters

[@raul3363]

You should react to Necrit when he posts his video about explaining this cinematic, he will definetly release it in the following days

[@georgieegames]

I shall keep my peepers PEELED for that video its gonna be so good

[@lldrumr9095]

This is infinitely better than last year’s cinematic. But this definitely not the best one they released.

[@ShawnM4HBK]

Hey georgieegames :D since I mainly play Kayle myself (Morgana too, but you know... Kayle FTW :) ) I wanted to thank you for also showing this level of dedication and enthusiasm for, especially Kayle, but also Morgana :) What you saw in the cinematic was, due to Riot Games current lore policy that EVERYTHING is canon, a very story driven event. This may have been the moment where the two Sisters of Justice split, forced to use a new level of their power for the first time as Aatrox threatened to overpower them. You can see how "normal" they look at the beginning. Compared to the basic skin, they are young, even youthful, and their facial features are a little less defined than we've seen in previous artwork - this is particularly noticeable in Kayle's face. They wear Demacian helmets and their armor is also in the Demacian style. Both are equipped with their mother's sword and fight "conventionally" against Aatrox. However, when Morgana notices Kayle smashing into the wall and the gate (note Morgana's look towards Kayle), she decides to give in to this "greater power of the Aspect" - the Shadow. If you listen closely, you can hear Morgana's screams of exertion and exhaustion and despair under the music as she has Aatrox bound. Kayle, as the more "radical" of the two sisters, has only contempt for Morgana's actions after she gets back on her feet, but of course takes the opportunity to deal the decisive blow to Aatrox by doing the same as her sister, as Kayle also "rises" by giving in to the light part of the aspect and by taking Morgana's sword. It may very well be that on this already epic battlefield, the next, bigger battle took place only a short time later - this time between the two sisters, which shook Demacia for a long time and left its mark forever. Thank you for your content and keep up the good work :) PS: The old man after that is Yasuo in the future, since apparently all three time levels, past (Kayle Morgana), present (Trynda Ashe Kindred) and future (Yasuo - after a Redemption story?! :O ) are dealt with here.

[@Paul20661]

*THIS WAS AMAZING* And the lore behind it,everything about this cinematic is so good P.S. First vid i see from you,subbed :D

[@TheZefarg]

I knew if I wanted a good reaction, I need to come here, because this cinematic whilst amazing on it's own, becomes much, much better if you know even the tiniest bit of lore and you are a fellow casual League Lore enjoyer. Some ppl are even slightly dissapointed by this, cause they are 101% clueless and don't care about lore and are just like "Hur, dur, where my pure action at" Now to list my favorite parts about the cinematic: First part- Kayle and the bitch-ass self-righteous face she makes when she looks down at Morg before striking Aatrox just summarizes who she is perfectly for even non-lore ppl, the *self-righteous bitch* part being the important part :D (Hell I even only know about her being that from watching my boi Necrit, who, despite me not actually reading lore and being a very casual lore enjoyer, is someone I have to watch as he is a fellow compatriot ) Second part- as even the description of the vid says, is a "possible" future, so not 100% set in stone. Old man Yas tho, unexpected, but sick and even with Yasuo dying like that being slightly dissapointing or rather sad, it was still a badass showing and then as he saw the wolf and accepted the arrow and his death, that was just peak. A lot of emotions like regret and not wanting to do any of it were also conveyed very well through the start of his part... Well, what else can I add besides 2 things, the GOAT Liam O'Brian and the characters he voices just being the best and me having a soft spot for them :D Illidan and Yas being the main GOATs (and also just realized beiign quite similar with their backstory) and the fact that PBE ALREADY got a a data download and a preview... Old Man Yasuo skin is coming and I love it (it's called Foreseen if you wanna check it out) ¨ Third part- Trynda out-badassing Yasuo with his Undying Rage. So epic, literally fighting for his life and I felt that shit in my veins, fighting a struggle he cannot win and yet rage and willpower fueled by a bit of Blood Magic (ty Aatrox, you prick LMAO) pushed him far enough for Ashe to get there in time to save him so Kindred put her bow down and left cause what was hysterically close to death and was supposed to truly be his last moments got saved by Ashe turned into a happy end. Trynda rose very sharply in my badass ranks thanks to this. Even Kindred with the slight headtilts and wonder in those expressions was just amazing. Also I think the portrayal overall was great, in the way that even tho she will eventually get even someone like Aurelion Sol who can destroy and create starts in a matter of seconds, her power is just different and isn't a raw, easily graspable thing so even Tryndamere who is nothing compared to Aurelion in pure strength and "hacks", even he can fight and resist the inevitable death that she is. Lastly I can't wait for Riot to confirm or deny some of the theories and interpretations, I even watched the whole 2 hour vod of Necrit with his reaction and then talking to Nickyboi (other lore dude) and disscusssing it... Like did Trynda really fight her or did he just see the enemies as Kindred due nto being close to death or the second theory he fought in 2 places at once, he fought both those dudes and then Kindred in wherever that was, death realm, spirit real, his mind w/e and just as those last 2 dude were about to kill him with his back turned and Ashe saving him he got out. Also I might be wrong, but from what Necrit and the other dude implied, it shouldn't work like that and yet, Trynda might somehow be an exception, due to how often he is close to death and as some other ppl said in the comments, he propably fought them like 20-30x already, every time he uses Undying Rage and is close to death he meets Kindred, they propably know each other better than he and Ashe do LMAO Lastly back to Trynda being an exception, you can see his shoulder pads/guards being fine, then the wolf bites into them, you can see the bite marks in the later part of the fight and then they are STILL there when he leaves and is there with Ashe, the mark of the wolf is still there *!!!* Both Necrit and Nicky said it shouldn't be there, so.?. Love the mystery/the mysterious part of it as well. Dunno how to interpret the part when he almost hit her with the tip of the blade, all I got is awe. Anyways, sorry about this long-ass "180 word school essay due tommorow" BS, but I really loved the vid and it got me hyped and since none of my close friends with whom I could share this kind of hype without it being weird play LoL, the hype gets vented elsewhere 🤣 Great reaction 👍

[@yahiagouda5189]

This is the lore of the cinematic: (The past) In the first scene, we see Kayle and Morgana fighting side by side, both with their powers. When both of them are pushed to their limits by Aatrox, Morgana gives away her powers as the Aspect of Justice and binds Aatrox, even if for a moment. Then we can see Kayle taking Morgana's powers, representing her taking Morgana's sword, and looking at her sister with disgust. When Morgana falls to the ground, Kayle ascends and kills the host of Aatrox. We can see Lamb in the flames, showing his death. (Aatrox does not really die, but his host does.) (The future) In the second scene, we see bandits raiding Ionian village and Yasuo as an old man standing his ground. Each time he uses his power, the bonds on his arm unravel. And at the end, when arrows rain right at him, we can see his acceptance of death and Kindred's arrow ending his life. We can also see Wolf's eyes in the shadows right before Lamb's arrow falls. (The present) In the last scene, we see Tryndamere fighting against a group of enemies and dying. It is represented as him fighting Kindred (death), with both Wolf and Lamb refusing to die; his red eyes represent his "undying rage." We can see that Lamb is showing a sign of confusion as to why this man doesn't give up. In the final scene, we can see Lamb lowering her bow when Ashe (Tryn's wife) saves him from his last enemies just in the moment he is about to die. Seeing that this is not the time to claim Tryndamere, Kindred disappears. This cinematic represents that death is timeless, showing one scene from the past, one from the present, and one from the future. It also shows both aspects of Kindred. When Aatrox's host dies, we see Lamb idle while Wolf delivers the final blow. Wolf hunts down those who resist death. When Yasuo dies, Wolf waits, as Lamb's arrow is the final moment. Lamb brings peaceful death to those who accept it. Tryndamere fights both Wolf and Lamb, defying natural order using his powers; in the end, he successfully avoids death

[@KillTeamHungary]

Old man Yasuo! YASUOLD!

[@blanklate073]

Kayle, Morgana and Attrox is Past Event also If you look at kayle when morg ult you can see the ick and disgust on her face, little details but cheff kiss, Yasuo is in Future Event where he accept death which you can see the arrow and the sillohoutte of wolf, the Tryndamere is in Present Event where Ashe save him from death which is Kindred.

[@TheLastGhostLegendario]

I interpreted diferently, Aatrox fight is in the past, but he is alive in the present (if i remember correctly) thats why there is only kindreds shadow(remember Kindred in this universe is death himself) in the fire, Yasuo fight in the posible future he closes his eyes two times, first when he is focusing to break the arrow and at the end when the rain of arrows fall (and the kindred white arrow and the wolf slowly appearing) but for me , he was focusing to fight and survive and well the tryndamere part its like everyone else knows.

[@dunningkrugerfxs5848]

Late late response but remember that Aatrox himself is the sword, the body is a human that he has essentially possessed and dominated. When his host body died the original person did as well. The sword will live on.

[@zawareiiovyletsplaye9288]

This cinematic is about past, present, future and death The Past is about Kayle and Morgana where they were fighting side by side against Aatrox, where Morgana didnt turn evil yet by rejecting her celestial heritage. AATROX IS THE ONE WHO BRINGS DEATH The Present is Tryndamere, Ashe and Kindred. First, the Ashe is the wife of Tryndamere, she comes to save him from death as she shoots those two guys, so Trynd is not in danger anymore, Kindred vanishes. Also Trynd is maybe the only one who can fight Kindred, because of his ult Undying Rage, he simply cannot die so Kindred cant kill him, thats why Kindred seems kinda confused as you look at the close up of the lamb when she backed away after Trynd broke her bow. Also i like how Trynds eyes went back to normal when he saw Ashe, the only thing that can comfort him is his wife, Ashe. KINDRED IS DEATH REAPER, SHE IS DEATH The Future is about Yasuo, when hes in his years, but i cant tell what is happening here, its kinda cofusing for me haha. YASUO IS THE ONE WHO EMBRACED DEATH This is clearly the best cinematic that RIOT has ever made for me and i shed a tear when Trynd, Ashe and Kindred came to the scene

[@kelvinmendez7013]

Everyone like the kayle look but for me MORGANA PAIN HOLDING AATROX AND TRYNDAMERE UNDYING GIVING UP AFTER SEEN ASH CARRIED THIS WHOLE CINEMATIC

[@TheErisianMonk]

ALSO!!!! Vandiril made videos on new in-game quest that can happen. Kayle and Morgana VS Aatrox, and Kindred VS Tryndamere- each side is to kill the other, with some specifications, and the winner gets a buff to an ability, with exanded visual effects, too! I love shite like that so much!

[@nancy9324]

As a fan of Kindred, this is my exact reaction to this cinematic! You're so entertaining btw 😂 And not just entertaining, but you're really into the lore, and I love you so much for it! I'm so hyped for what riot is going to bring out this year, I believe they're giving us a glimpse/taste to the MMO

[@aho-kun98]

The only thing that can deal with Kindred is Tryndamere in this animation, because if another hero was in that condition, Kindred would definitely have his soul taken. because Tryndamere has the right ULTIMATE skills😂

[@frozenduck23]

For Kayle and Morgana vs Aatrox, this was very long ago in the past when Kayle hadn't abandoned Demacia yet. They were losing against Aatrox until Morgana used her dark magic instead of their mother's (Aspect of Justice) power. The sword both of them had were half of their mother's sword. Kayle thinks that her doing this was a mistake as she would rather both of them lose than for Morgana to do what she did. Even though both of of them are about justice, Kayle is about justice no matter how small the crime is whereas Morgana is about forgiving justice, where even a murderer has a chance for redemption. For the one with the old guy, that is Yasuo many year in the future. He is protecting a village and when he is about to die, he sees Lamb's arrow and accepts it. For the one with Kindred and Tryndamere, we can see how Tryndamere's ult actually work. He fights Lamb and Wolf until he isn't in danger anymore.

[@vergil8833]

It could be Yasuo in the future, but it could also be his master who died.

[@MRJHAYL]

The scar in face, that's yasuo

[@vergil8833]

@@MRJHAYL It makes it a bit weird, since is that a story they're going to actually write?

[@tonylebon3275]

7:46 it's normal. morgana and kayle are sisters. the 2 swords formed a single sword and belonged to their mother (Mihira). Kayle idolizes her mother and she is extremely upset that Morgana uses this magic by leaving their mother's inheritance on the ground. (Kayle collects the 2 swords). This scene takes place 1000 years ago. because morgana and kayle are going to argue (no spoiler... you have to read the lore). the city is "zeffira", they must protect it, but they will destroy it when they fight against each other

[@khangnguyen1986]

Kindred only appears subconsciously, the surrounding soldiers are the cause of death. Death is predetermined, those who resist fate will have to confront Kindred. Tryndamere was unable to defeat the defeated soldiers, which meant he could not escape the Sheep and the Wolf. But he tried to fight to change his fate, holding out long enough for Ashe to come to his rescue. In the future, Yasuo already exists, protect what needs to be protected, and have forgiven yourself for past mistakes. He passed away peacefully after receiving Kindred's silver arrow.

[@2stepbehind1stepaway]

That was Yasuo. I was confused at first as well. I was like when did Yasuo get that old. The distinctive scar on his face and the abilities he is using are all indicating that it is indeed Yasuo. If you watch carefully you can see the wolf's eyes in the distance when the volley of arrows coming at Yasuo and the arrow that shoots him is the lamb's arrow. So it was Kindred. Although Kindred doesn't show up in Morgana/Kayle/Aatrox's encounter death is ever so present in all three different scenes. And the video starts with Kindred's voice so I sort of figured it out maybe they are showing present, past, and future. Tryndamere is in the present, Morgana/Kayle in the past, and Yasuo in the future.

[@eizenecalpito8763]

The Morgana and Kayle bit was when they're still fighting together. Hence why Morgana still has armor and the other half of their mother's sword. But when Morgana embraced her magical powers. Kayle then picks up the sword.

[@GastaoHEsteves]

Explaining what happened in this cinematic to people that don't know the lore and character's names. This cinematic is about time and death. The cinematic have 3 moments: The angel vs demon scene happens in the past. The old samurai scene happens in the future and the barbarian fighting at snow happens in the present. The archer spirit and its wolves that you see in the snow scene are Kindred, the most powerful being in League of Legends. It is basically the Grim Reaper of this universe that only shows up when the time has come to someone. Althought you can clearly see them (Kindred is referred to in the plural) in the last part of the cinematic, they also appears when Kayle (the blonde angel) attacks Aatrox (the demon) while Morgana (her twin sister, the brunnete angel) is exausted on the ground, in form a silouete in the flames. In the future part, the Kindred also show up as Yasuo (the old samurai) closes his eyes accepting death before being hit by a rain of arrows. You can see the white spirit arrow from Kindred going straight to him. In the present moment is where the cherry on the cake is. The barbarian with a giant sword is Tryndamere and his ultimate skill is the ability to resist death for a few seconds. In game, he basically continues taking damage, but never drops bellow 1hp while the ult is active. You see him fighting the Kindred wolves, but it is just his vision. He is actually fighting this horde of human warriors surrounding him, taking hit and resisting death (resisting Kindred) as he tries his last standing. Kindred aim their arrow to him but stop from shooting when the two arrows from Ashe (the white haired archer queen) saves him from the last 2 enemies behind him. Kindred lost their purpose to catch Tryndamere as they saw that his time hasn't come yet. I love the detail of Kindred tilting the head looking at Tryndamere after dodging his attack, intrigued because the barbarian is fighting the death itself and this fact took the attention of this powerful godlike being. Trully a nice touch. This video is a master piece.

[@michaelanthonypagsibigan3811]

For context, Tryndamere was about to die at the hands of the, what's probably members of the Winter's Claw, and therefore the appearance of kindred. While long-haired-daddy-angry-man faught the wolf and the lamb, in reality he was fending off the other warriors and was saved by Ashe at the last moment.

[@TheErisianMonk]

As someone who has PASSIONATELY played Kayle and Kindred since 2013, this was beyond any hopes I had for this year's cinematic. I really love seeing your fervent reaction to this.

[@ctrlfrck235]

Thats OLDMAN YAS dev did say we will be having lore progressions so this might be YAS in future and probably a set up for the upcoming mmo

[@katabinlagging768]

As soon as the cinematic started and i heard " Tomorrow is a hope" i was like NEVER A PROMISE and i got so hyped, seeing that kindred fight gave me goosebumps, at the end you can see bodies around trynda as if he was fighting those but he only saw kindred near his death, and lamb was about to finish him off with an arrow as the two men behind him were about to kill him but when ashe's arrows came she lowered her bow, it's SO COOL

[@v.s.3196]

Kayle only getting her power by taking Morgana's half of the sword was a nice touch. We see Kindred in the transition of Aatrox, only watching in the flames of the past because obviously he cannot die. We see Yasuo in the future using his wind once more after breaking his oath to not do so, accepting his death peacefully at the tip of Lamb's arrow. Then we see Tryndamere fighting off Death long enough to be saved from the soldiers that would have caused his demise.

[@randomizer8271]

Aahhhh I just watched a girl youtuber who just reacted to this cinematic before watching yours and coincidentally shes a morgana main???? and you're a kayle main???? like wtf meant to be her name is Senpai Hades❤

[@Talguy21]

One detail I think is interesting that I don't think anyone else really noticed on their first viewing, is that look Kayle gives to Morgana at the end of their scene. It's disdain and disgust. She capitalizes on the opportunity, of course, but this is either the inciting incident for their eventual falling out or another contributor to it. Morgana did what she had to do to save herself, her sister, and what would eventually become Demacia, but Kayle sees it as a betrayal of their ideals. It's interesting just how much subtext can be in a scene if you're familiar with the lore.

[@dazeo4393]

i was only ever a very casual league player for the couple months i played. my account had some error or something where i never got any quests to get currency, so i spent way longer than everyone else normally would just to get one character and i got kindred. because the community is so toxic i got a lot of trash talk for playing them even though im not sure that theyve ever been really all that strong. they just take precision, patience and perfect judgement. i havent played this game in years but this cinematic really made me miss playing kindred. damnit... i might have to redownload league... youre kidding. im in shambles. i thought i escaped

[@WILIZIN]

I love how tryndamere caan be so angry that he refuses to die. But the one thing that can calm him down is Ashe coming to save him. Hes litterally the cave man meme. "Im sad. Im angry. I hit thing. See wife. No longer sad. No longer angry. Life good."

[@christophermason5088]

kindred shoots his arrow at (yes) Old man Yasuo. the morganna kayle duo was pre them splitting. the moment Morganna uses her dark magic the look of hatred in Kayles eyes shows there future very well. also if you look kayle looks like QTcinderella

[@shichibukaii]

Sees yasuo w, "who is this" :D Until that point, i was curious about who it is beacuse he is too old for some reason. Also i always thought Morgana couldn't fly because she was doomed and her wings were broken (thats what i thought)

[@benjaminfrost2780]

Wonderful reactions. Kayle main better recognize that she gave one hell of an undeserved stink side eye to Morg who bought her time to do her thing. Though I gotta say you made me laugh with a what the hell when you really didn't know that was Yasuo after the windwall even? Like his face with nose scar and hair aside.....the wind wall wasn't a give away? lol.

[@gokaykara5403]

this video is so clean . look at the ex. past present future. 1000 year ago kayle morg. vs aatrox. future if yasuo dont fight for ionia next to will be happen and he is accepting to death after kindred blue arrow is comming behind de sceen u can see wolf with red eyes. this one for yasuo if dosent accept death , wolf will come after yasuo . and try resisting to death very nice . i love it kindred and wolf . its my opinion gl:)

[@ninjatoriumnova2483]

I always saw Tryndamere as quite silly looking (mostly because of the helmet), but here, they made him kind of... uh, hot.

[@YamiEryie]

The part with Tryndamere is him facing death. That last moment when Kindred backs off is cuz he's being saved by Ashe so his life was no longer in danger.

[@pauroca6321]

The old man is Yasuo in the future. You can tell by the scar in the upper part of the nose (and he is one of the only people alive that knows the wind technique), the scar that yone gave him in their battle to death. You can see this in "Kin of the stained blade" cinematic. The why Yasuo is old? no clue really, I think they are teasing stuff in the future or something.

[@cookie0955]

That Ionian was old yasuo :) You can tell that by his scar on his nose. It is probably in the future. For MMO maybe?
