TALES OF RUNETERRA | First Time Reacting to League of Legends Cinematic

[@YayReacts]

Loved getting to see some dialogue!!! My favorites were Shadow Isles "None Escape" , Noxus "After Victory" and Targon "The Vaulted Road" 🔥 Next reaction will be ANNIE: Origins & Curse of the Sad Mummy!

[@AulosMacabre]

Better have a tissue box or two handy for both of those 🤧 trust 😭

[@redroseibarahime8755]

Fiora has a french accent.

[@ESP_Blinks]

Actually in the last story the two leaders (Leona and Diana) you have seen Leona in A new Down, were lovers in the past. They belong to feuding tribes, the Solari followers of the sun and the Lunari followers of the moon.

[@Agent_Dark]

The Vaulted Road has a little more subtext to it - the two women at the end, Leona (golden Sun armour) and Diana (pale Moon clothing) were actually childhood best friends turned lovers. They were raised amongst a tribe of the Solarii - religious worshippers of the Sun who lived at the base of Mount Targon. The would both make the deadly and arduous climb to the top of Mount Targon, where they received the Aspects of the Sun and Moon respectively, essentially giving them near demi-god levels of power. Worship of the Moon was deemed heretical by the Solarii and the Solarii zealots attacked Diana on sight and Diana was forced to kill several of them before fleeing to find outcasts of the Lunari faith. Leona was distraught, but was seen as a holy figure amongst the Solarii and elevated to their highest ranks. They now fight on opposite sides of a religious war, though perhaps the bond between them still runs deep... Also, Don't Mess With Yordles should be fine to watch. True Genius does have a bunch of characters in it that will be in Arcane.

[@silverraven250]

I hate the vaulted road cause it should have been about Leona and Diana not two randoms no one cares about. But riot sales their games to countries that don't like sapphic rep.

[@BlaiseBartok]

I think i wasn't mistaken that would be a great start to introduce the world of LoL aka Runeterra. I can't wait to watch the Annie and the Curse of the Sad Mummy reaction, don't forget the tissues for these two. After you seen how Ionia looks and what kind of culture they have, the next can be "The Path an Ionian Myth" and the "Kin of the stained blade" as I said before in that order and maybe in one video. I glad you liked these and i hope you will enjoy the next ones too 😁

[@YayReacts]

Thank you! I was actually thinking about doing just that in checking out The Path an Ionian Myth and the Kin of the stained blade after the next set 😁

[@tsarmond]

its just one universe, its different countrys (actually it named regions, since some are reigns, or empires...)

[@FigipeGames]

YEIIIIII TALES OF RUNETERRA! You should watch "An Ionian Myth" and "Kin of a Stained Blade", "Annie" and "The curse of the Sad mummy" are amazing at telling the stoy of a single caracter. Any season cinematic is good as it shows lore through out the world and have dope music ;)

[@YayReacts]

Annie and the cursed mummy are definitely next! I'm thinking of doing An Ionian Myth and Kin of a Stained Blade after that 🔥

[@revendax2584]

​@@YayReactsthose are good ones! I can't wait for you to react to Awaken, The Call and Still here! There's another one called The Ruination but I recommend reacting to that one after you watch 3 other cinematics first. I'm spacing on the name of the first one so I'll have to look it up but after the first one then you watch The Climb and then Senna Shadows Embrace before finally watching the Ruination.

[@ESP_Blinks]

Darius (9:11) you have seen it in A new Down, Noxus is the region he belongs to and it is a ‘complicated’ region in Noxus they are not ruled by social status but by the ‘strength’ you possess either physically or intellectually. So the stronger you are the more important you become, however if you are weak you will probably end up dead. Due to the inoshpite nature of their region, which is formed by black stone that does not allow any kind of plant to grow, they are ‘forced’ to invade other regions to take resources. The most important thing about League of Legends is that there are no regions which are purely bad or purely good, they all have both sides of the coin.

[@firecat4529]

8:17 There is another ghostly cinematic with this guy here (his name's "Thresh") called "Thresh Unbound: A Night at the Inn". Another unrelated cinematic I can recommend is "The Call", one of my favorites. I also like "Awaken", "Warriors" and the most recent one "Still Here".

[@firecat4529]

11:59 There is a video called "The World of Riot's MMO is Already Done" by Necrit explains the entire world of Runeterra and all of it's regions.

[@MrCoolAttitude]

Genius is def a good skip. Would spoil a major arcane character. Could have watched the yordles one. It doesn't have much spoiler and it's pretty sweet.

[@tsarmond]

its not spoiler wtf, knowing the characters relationship before hand spoil the show for you?

[@MrCoolAttitude]

@@tsarmond You're dumb if you don't think Genius is a major spoiler for one character in Arcane.

[@svendeep6781]

For more shadow isles kind of stuff a good set of videos is The climb >> Senna: Shadow’s Embrace >> Ruination. There's also then another runeterra Thresh video and a bunch of sentinels of light stuff that I don't know the order of. Great reaciton. Bligewater and Ionia are my two favorite.

[@YayReacts]

Thanks so much!!

[@macaronsucre]

My favorite one from runterra is "don't mess with yordles" you should definitly check it out.

[@firecat4529]

9:10 He's the guy who chased the fox girl Ahri with her many tails in the other cinematic you watched.

[@Shythalia]

7:39 No. In the lore, when you are in the Shadow Isles, your life force gets slowly drained out of you until you become a spirit that haunts the isles. That is what we see there with his hands. Btw, you don't necessarily need to alter LoL videos. Riot Games doesn't send out copyright strikes on reaction vids. Only a few of them would get you copyright claimed but only for audio reasons. The claims are from the musicians' music labels, so this little warning is for when you are ever interested in looking into more of LoL's music videos. Unfortunately, there is an idiot who would strike or claim reactions to "POP/STARS" even though the song doesn't belong to them. So be prepared for that.

[@verdantdruid]

It was so fun to see you recognize Twisted Fate! Fun reaction TY Each of these cinematics represent one of the countries in Runeterra. "True Genius" takes place in the city-state setting of Arcane, so it uses some characters. Not exactly spoiler, but can't hurt to stay blind to. "Don't Mess with Yordles" was added to Runeterra playlist later and is a good lore cinematic. FYI cause nothing will tell you, "Annie Origins" takes place in the woodlands of Noxus. Leona and Diana are the two female warriors and ex-lovers i think. They live in Targon, a country at the foot of a tall magical mountain. The main religion is sun-based and a moon based cult led by Diana is persecuted by the sun Solari who see all other light as false. Although this is Riot Studios partnered with Axis Studios and Arcane is Riot with Fortiche, the painted cel shading style of animation is very similar. Runeterra cinematics really show how good Arcane can be. (The first season of Arcane took 6 years to make, Netflix had 0% to do with this show aside from distribution)

[@YayReacts]

Thank you for sharing these comments are always so fun to read!!! Wow 6 years 😳

[@No1fan15]

It's fun watching Double-Double crossed now that Twisted Fate and Graves are confirmed to be a couple 🏳️‍🌈❤

[@Gandorhar]

Ngl I hate the cuts, I dont know but I dont think they are necessary because I have never seen a reactor do that. Anyway, really enjoyed this, my favorite is "After Victory" I just love noxus, they are straight up without excuse survival of the fittest but no matter who you are as long as u are strong you can achive anything there.

[@YayReacts]

Yeah that’s my bad, I’m learning as I go with these Leagues of Legends reactions 😅

[@ronjaxn]

Hype!!!

[@YayReacts]

These cinematics are actually pretty good!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@zephloe]

You keep thinking theres some sort of happy ending to these stories. Sometimes things just end badly.

[@Fsindu]

My favorite is The Vaulted Road. Dont mess with Yordles hasnt Arcane spoilers and even Genius doesnt, u just see a few Arcane characters but thats it. When u hide the video it cuts the scenes a bit and it feels kinda weird to follow it when u react to it, especially when u the watcher knows the cinematics. In the After Victory video the dude with the axe is Darius, u saw him in the New Dawn cinematic. And for the Shadow Isles, sadly u didnt see another cinematic first u may had a better understanding. It is called "The Harrowing" basicly it was a halloween event but sets clearly the tone for the Shadow Isles as a location. The Skeletton Dude is named Thresh and u will meet him again in a few other cinematics and in another Runetera video named "Night at the Inn", he is a torturer and collects souls he is imprisioning them in his lantern where he tortures them for eternity.

[@YayReacts]

I appreciate the feedback! I hope the video cuts were not too too jarring. I wasn’t trying to include the full length videos as there were quite a few parts where I’m just quiet so those got cut 😅

[@Fsindu]

@@YayReacts Being quiet isnt bad, your face tells us your reaction to :)

[@vhione1946]

as what @Fsindu said, you should watch Genius and Don't Mess with the Yordles. There isn't anything related to the story line of Arcane

[@PhoenixReturns]

@@YayReacts No need to cut these league reaction videos c:

[@sirfishalot6782]

A little bit of extra pain for the last one: Leona (the woman in the yellow armor) and Diana (the white haired lady with the sickle-sword) used to be lovers but were torn apart by their different faiths (not entierly accurate but i dont wanna write an entire paragraph here). If you wanna get more familiar with the lore i would recommend A) Arcane on Netflix if you have not seen it. B) Necrit's "Official Timeline of League of Legends" (possibly a little outdated as the lore constantly evolves) C) Necrit's "The World of Riot's MMO is Already Done" (mostly because it neatly summarizes the current storylines happening in most regions neatly) Also the league of legends website features a ton of short stories and overviews of all the different champions. Some champions also have their own short trailers. Necrit in general is a great channel for all things League Lore, including deep dives into all of the cinematics.

[@eu4league716]

recommend TFT remix rumble, Odyssey cinematic and Still here

[@gunnishshon1626]

The tales are all of the same universe

[@Fionalah]

You HAVE to watch and react to Arcane! Season 2 is coming soon!

[@YayReacts]

Yes I plan on it!

[@Hyp333R]

2:48 It's French accent.

[@YayReacts]

Thanks for the clarification!

[@ixarizskye5440]

Enter the Vaulted road; A story of lovers and ex-lovers. Meet the Solari; ppl who worship the sun and Lunari; ppl who worship the moon. It's prohibit for Lunari and Solari to be friends, let alone be lovers. Lunari is like the dominant religion and the Solari are kept in the shadows, in secret\, they worship. The girl you know from a New Dawn, her name is Leona and the moon girl is Diana. They used to be lovers and they both know that what will happen to the lovers would be, they would get ascended, much like how Diana and Leona got ascended which is why they did not shoot first(it was a male Solari guard who knows nothing of the ascension that shot the arrow.). You see, climbing up Mt. Targon, the mountain tests you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually to see if you are worthy. Only chosen ones reach the top(Leona, chosen of the sun and Diana, chosen of the moon), ppl who are not chosen, either die at the bottom, in the middle or almost at the top of the mountain{and you saw how tall the mountain was}.

[@amnesius3976]

I have a massive problem with you cutting the videos like that because there's really no reason for it. I really can't enjoy the video because these cuts annoy me so much.
