THESE CINEMATICS ARE INSANE!! | League of Legends Season Cinematics 2009-2024 Reaction!

[@shaytheswift_4327]

Seeing sylas smile as he steals Garen's ult makes me laugh for some reason 😂.

[@KarNeoLeX]

"Still here" is the first Cinematic that Riot made that is fully Canon (they did cop out of letting Yasuo die like that by saying its a possible future)

[@vizk0]

As far as I know, The call cinematic is to fully canon.

[@KarNeoLeX]

@@vizk0 but it wasnt canon from the get go

[@vizk0]

@@KarNeoLeX I mean, after all, every single story from The Call animation is already on riot's official website. Sejuani fighting Volibear's pursuers while searching for food for her tribe, Kaisa going deeper into the old city of Bel'Veth and meeting Bel'Veth, and deciding to climb the targon after the Pantheon falls out of Viego's control.

It's not a cop out, it's a possibility. That way they can modify it if needs be for the Runeterra MMO for example.

[@vidiveniviciDCLXVI]

When you paused on 2014 "A new Dawn" To look at the detail, I was like (Okay, the later shit is going to blow his mind).

[@moose8712]

I just gotta say, it's so refreshing to see someone as invested and attentive to little details as you are reacting to League stuff, so many people miss the intricate bits and pieces, can't wait to see more from you my guy, keep it up

[@Darthorias]

In Still here cinematic, White archer with mask is Kindred with her Wolf are basically Death, Tryndamere (the guy with the sword has ultimate skill Undying Rage whitch makes him bassicaly fight Death itself to live another day, it was made perfect in this cinematic. And the woman who saved him at the end is Ashe, his wife.

[@bakacat3814]

you blind hi not see Kindred hi see Ashe and in Undying Rage confus uself .

[@quantumphayer]

@@bakacat3814 english is indeed hard... basically Kindred are both the Lamb and the Wolf... they are the representation of Death in Runeterra (League´s World) ... Tryndamere is an Ice Born that is also a King of his Tribe (he got infused with Blood Magic because of his Fight with Aatrox when he stabbed Tryndamere in the Chest with his Sword... with this Blood Magic he got his Ultimate Skill "Undying Rage" which makes him Immortal for a few Seconds)... he married Ashe ( the Archer lady that saves him at the end) for political reasons... this last scene basically means that Tryndamere when he reaches a state where he is close to Death... he fights DEATH itself so he can stay alive... Lamb lowers her bow because Ashe saved Tryndamere

[@belgar3652]

[@phntmthf5505]

It’s interesting seeing how character designs have changed since 2009. One of the big ones for me is Fiddlesticks, who went from “haha evil scarecrow fear wizard with crows” to “this thing the reason you have nightmares, it born in the first primal scream of creation and exists only to cause fear”

[@ErisianRomantic]

Dude. These always take me waaaaay back. I first started playing League in 2013. First anything I saw of the videos was Get Jinxed. That lead to me buying her on release and ONLY playing her for +5 years. The first cinematic I ever saw was A New Dawn, the first damn good one made. I saw it the day it premiered, and my brain was melted. Still so damn good!

[@TheSacredSavior]

With me I started playing around when Jarvan and Nocturne were introduced. My first mains were MF, Garen, and Ryze.

[@anasmouada9538]

I started LoL in 2013, my last year of elementary school, it was the beginning of season 3 and Tresh was just released. My greatest memories of that were when we used to ditch school to go to a cyber café to play the game. Best times, good times.

[@zerodawn09]

i started with the beta. hell i even bought the collector edition of it. i dont play anymore cause my skill is trash now and having smurfs yelling at me isnt fun but i do keep up with pro play and everything else. i started as adc but switched to support cause not many played support. i mained blitzcrank.

[@BustaLaVista]

20:56 That Protea reference is nice. First time Protea was introduced I thought to myself "That ult is Ekko's ult from LoL"

[@theoxish]

for real, some times i look at warframes and compare the abilities to league haha.

[@JesusZeuDog]

27:50 League has the best lore I ever looked into, it's really crazy how coherent the world is built and how much details are hid in it

[@louisrobitaille5810]

Coherent? You mustn't have looked that deep then 😂. I get what you mean though. Most of it is coherent, but many things don't make any sense 🥲. Just look at Shaco, Kog'maw, or Cho'gath 🤡. Targon Prime also doesn't make much sense right now. How demons are born is also not really clear. And those are only a few examples.

[@RatrixGlory]

@@louisrobitaille5810 Shaco, Kog, and Cho are all champions that haven't really had a VGU yet. I assume riot will flesh them out once that happens

[@botanicalbadlands]

@@louisrobitaille5810 Yeah, the lore has gone through multiple rewrites. I definitely appreciate what they've done though, their world becomes more coherent with every pass

[@Shatterpath]

I have a special fondness for A New Dawn, but Still Here rocks my soul. Especially that drop with Morgana calling up her chains! That drop? Heard it dozens of times and it never ceases to give me chills! I hope someone has pointed this nice guy at Necrit's videos?

[@autumnlinsinbigler9385]

Somebody mentioned Necrit already but he covers Lore for A LOT of Leagues Cinematics and Music videos. Little Electric dude from Awaken is named Kennan, he is a Yordle ninja. I will be happy to help answer any questions you may have, if I can. Edited to add: The Steampunky region is typically Piltover and Zaun. Ionia is the more Ninja looking and behaving people, Noxus is mostly dark reds and black clothed / armor warriors. Demacia is usually whites, blues and golds. Freijord is the Ice / Wintery people. Shurima is typically what most would consider a more Egyptian look. and the void are typically purple / pink type colors. The Pirate type are from Bilgewater. Yordles (small dudes) are from Bandle City, but can be found in other regions. And the star / moon / sun region is largely Targon. Obviously there are variations outside, but as a rule of thumb that is typically what you will see.

[@ErisianRomantic]

20:15 The Climb. This shite still gives me chills. I am the result they wanted when they made these cinematics, because I could lose my fukn mind with hype when I watch these.

[@WhatTegoTamtego]

I highly recommend watching Necrit's videos about lore, and fun fact about Necrit, he is CANNONICALLY the league lore master. In the singler player RPG game "The ruined king", You can actually meet an NPC named "Necrit" and he is basically an ancient ghost that just gives you lore. AND you HAVE to watch "Terror in Demacia", it's about the scarecrow in "A Twist of Fate", named Fiddlesticks that got reworked.

[@shadxwslash44]

25:50 That's the point, Riot truly did a great job with Jhin's character (the masked dude) and with this cinematic. Good catch on this one. Jhin is a serial killer who thinks of his killing as plays in a theatre, as art. Everything must be perfect. He is obsessed with the number 4, his gun can hold 4 shots, his ultimate ability also has 4 shots, his name has 4 letters, if you connect the letters J H I N on your keyboard with straight lines, you will draw the number 4, his theme song has 4 parts, and it's also in the 4/4 time signature. In Awaken he shoots 3 times, and then we see him bow with that epic shot as Camille lunges at him from the ceiling as his traps explode, implying that he intends to kill Camille, the final enemy standing, with the 4th and final shot, executing the "scene" in the "play" perfectly. You also guessed that Ekko's (the black dude with white hair in The Climb) abilities have something to do with time.

[@swenburgos]

My man! Back at it again!!! If you want to know more of the lore side, I suggest you watch Necrit bro, he will explain all these cinematics for you. Every Nook And Cranny. Also, just incase you haven't read the comment last time. If I may suggest your next or future reactions since you're in the worlds Opening Ceremonies, is there a chance you can react to the Worlds Teasers? Not sure if people will agree to this list I made just for you but I hope you can make it soon. 2022: • Group Stage Teaser • Swiss Stage Teaser • Semifinals Teaser • Finals Teaser 2023: • Group Stage Teaser • Swiss Stage Teaser • Semifinals Teaser • Finals Teaser 2024: • Group Stage Teaser • Swiss Stage Teaser • Semifinals Teaser • Finals Teaser PS: You can skip the Group Stages if it's too much.

Love your reaction! So respectful and observant! Hope you dive more into league's lore, I'm so happy to find more and more people are learning more about it ❤️ To learn more about the lore, you should watch necrit, he's the best lore guy in league!

[@JustinHinzMagic]

I've been playing since season 2. I love how much Riot Games give back for the cinematics. They don't need to give us any of it. But, it's always so good. And the music is fire.

[@TheTanadu]

Overall I'm thrilled you share excitement for the cinematics, like I have same hype as you about them. I've also delved deep into the lore, spending countless hours exploring the connections and storylines. I encourage you to explore more cinematics to grasp the true extent of the lore's depth. It's a shame there aren't more cinematics, especially considering the wealth of information found in the champion bios. Below I'll focus on "answering" your specific champion questions directly, as a full explanation of all the nuances and related lore would be quite extensive and time-consuming. Someone pointed out in comments that only "Still here" is canon accurate, and I'd say yes, if it comes to be fully canon, but in other cinematics we can see parts of canon, or just shots from lifes. 39:40 - He is Ornn, a playable character; in lore he is a demigod of smithing and crafting (lately - as in the last 5 years - we got many demigods, even more powerful in lore). Deities walk the Earth, and he has come only to restore them to their place, to do their work. In the game he can, well, craft items WITHOUT going to the base. And he has probably one of the sickest ultimates, as he summons the great Great Spirit of Ram. 46:45 - “Shadow bosses” (a lamb with a bow and a shadow wolf) are also playable champions (two in one, kinda), their name is Kindred. They represent the twin essences of death. The lamb's bow offers quick release from the world of mortals for those who accept their fate. The wolf hunts those who escape their end, providing brutal finality in its crushing jaws. They fight Tryndamare (whose ultimate makes him immortal for a few seconds, so it fits perfect choice as he escapes death; also imagine "almost got her" means that he defeated almost death). The one who saves him is Ashe, his wife. In addition, Ashe and Tryndamare are king and queen of one region (Freljord, the snow region) in Runettera (the name of the main land in the game).

[@motheryou5208]

Great reactions Angel! I can only recommend watching some of Necrit's videos if you want to know more about the Lore, maybe even listen to some voice lines by Aatrox for example, the Lore behind the universe is incredible! Maybe your friend can compile a compilation for certain Lore explanations :D

[@luigimanzelli3786]

2014 still my favourite one, the fighting in the forest between Kata and Rengar goes so hard, and the ending too. Leona's ult looks insane.

[@HippoHuman]

My man, if you wanna know what happened in "Still Here" the last cinematic you saw check out Necrits Video on it. He is League of Legends Residential Lore Master (To the point he was put in a different game by Riot as a Loremaster) and he makes an in-depth video regarding this cinematic and explains it so that you can understand it even if you don't know anything about League of Legends.

[@elliotRust29]

i will never get over the tryndamere vs kindred fight in I'm Still Here. Like unless you know the characters it will never hit as hard - bro is literally fighting off the corporeal manifestation of death itself, and even comes close to defeating it and with the muusiiic oomgg im ever getting over this

[@louisrobitaille5810]

8:00 Garen's ultimate is one of the best ultimates in the entire lore/game imo. Garen himself cannot use magic, yet he summons a massive sword from the sky. Demacia, the region he is from, worships the Aspect of Justice. When he ults, he's praying to the Aspect and she answers by using her magic to manifest a huge sword that falls down 👀. Fun fact: the Aspect of Justice is a playable champion called Kayle. She's the golden knight with white wings. (Not to be confused with Leona who has a huge shield, she's the Aspect of the Sun 😅.)

[@favianperez7101]

I’ve always love The Climb that was fire

[@ErisianRomantic]

31:19 Yup. They skipped one. There was a cinematic that came right after The Climb that started right from the end of it. The missing one showed this badass rescuing this chick from eternal damnation, and then this cinematic should come.

[@theoxish]

You've got to do all the champion videos now. Not everyone has one, but the ones that do have decent animations, at least for the newer ones per say.

[@Atztec1]

Okay okay let me give you a bit of Context to the last two "Lore Driven Cinematics", if im wrong with some things forgive me, since this is from the top of my Head. Video : The Call 2022 - Champions present - Orn (Big Red Wookie, God of Smiths/ing) Olaf (big Viking Dude) / Sejuani (Warmother of a Tribe, with the Piggy) / Atreus aka Pantheon (Leonidas) / Leona (The Girl who shots Fire Beams with Sword and Shield) - Kai'sa (the Girl with the slick Suit) / Taliyah (Earthbender) / Rek'sai (Big Purple Monster) Orn only makes Weapons, if a War is breaking out / brewing up, thats why the Scene is relevant. The Tribe lead by Sejuani is called "Winter's Claw" and they are most likely on the Search/Hunt for Survival at this Point or in War with the "Polarbear" Tribe in this Scene which is "lead" by their Idol which is a God called "Volibear" (I'm not really into the Lore of Volibear atm(Something i need to research further)). Atreus is a Human beeing with the "Aspect of War" controlling him at the Moment, who seeks out Aatrox and try's to kill him (More on Aatrox with the description of "Still here"). Why he fights Leona and the Solari (a Tribe who Worships the Sun with Leona beeing embodied by the Aspect of the Sun) is unclear so far, as it is unclear why he got hit by a comet or even where he is flying towards. (If i'm mistaken here feel free to correct me) Kai'sa and Taliyah Scene : Kai'sa got a Creature called Voidling as a "Second Skin" which empowers her. In her youth the "Void" (a Dark Entity of Spawns like you saw in the Video, try'd to consume her and she fought threw it and that's how she got her"Suit", which slowly eats her Willpower over Time) Taliyah is basicly an Earthbender like in the "Avatar" Anime, she travels through "Shurima" (Desert Empire) in Search of the Void to fight it, so the Civilians of the City of "Xolan" (which you see in the Background) can have a Safe Haven. Video : Still Here 2024 - Champions present - Kindred (Wolf and Lamb) / Morgana & Kayle (Purple and White Winged "Angels")/ Aatrox - Darkin (Big Bad Evil) / Yasuo (in Old) / Tryndamere (the guy with the big sword) / Ashe (Archer) Basicly the Video "Still Here" is about the "Past" - "Present" and the "Future". It start's with the War in Demacia against the Darkin (Aatrox) with Kayle and Morgana in the City of Zeffira (First Big City and probably Capital of Demacia). (Which represents the Past (a few Thousand Years back)) Kayle and Morgana are the Daugthers of the Aspect of Justice "Mihira", they inherited her Sword which split in two, both swords are in the Cinematic. Demacia is known as "Magehating in the Present Timeline" a kind of racism against Magic, they seek them out and put them into Jail etc. (Thats another Story, but you can See a glimpse of the Mage Wars/Rebellion in "The Warrior" Cinematic, at the Start with the Chain Dude and the Sword Guy (Sylas and Garen)) They took to the Sky and got beaten up by Aatrox, next Scene you see Morgana letting her Sword go and go for a full on Magic Attack, which she is later known for (especially in the Game). That's why Kayle looked at her with despite, because she used magic (you can see the glimpse to her as she is looking down on her, because she forfeits the 2nd Half of the Sword of Justice) Morgana abandoned beeing the Aspect of Justice afterwards and Kayle started wielding both Swords. Yasuo Timeline is the "Possible Future", a way how he could die, but it's not certain that he will die at this Point nor at this Place. So not really much to tell you here. Last Scenario is the "Present" with Tryndamere and Kindred (Wolf and Lamb). Tryndamere has the Ability to simpy not Die in Times he should. (In the Game he is invincible for a few Seconds (like 6)) in the Cinematic it is shown that he Fights Death itself which is Kindred, embodied by the Lamb (Peaceful Death) and the Wolf (not so Peaceful Death) which claims the Dead either by putting an End to the Willing or Hunting them down with the Wolf by the ones who dont accept to die. That's what makes the Scene kinda Epic, because u need to think about it every Time, Tryndamere is on the Brink of Death he fights Death itself for Control. Tryndamere is a former Barbarian from an unknown Tribe, the Tribe got wiped out and he ended up in Avarosa, where Ashe was the Clan Leader /Warmother. He try'd to gain the respect of the Tribe by Duels and was feared for his Furiocity and Rage in Battle, thats why he got into a Political Marriage with Ashe. In Time both grew on each other and began to love each other. (You can see in the last Shot where Ashe killed the two Fighters, that Tryndameres Rage got subdued by Ashe beeing there, which i think shows his love for her). Another Fact : In Every Scene, you can see Kindred lurking around - Past in the Flames at the End - Present obviously as Character - Future at the end in the Woods (The Big Arrow in the Middle is supposed to be from Kindred, because Yasuo accepted his Death in this Scene (Peaceful Death)) A little Region Guide - Freljord (Snow/Ice Place) - Shurima (Desert) - Targon (The Mountain / Comet Scene of The Call Video) - Demacia (Snowy in The Warrior Video probably in a different Zone and in the past of Still Here), then there's - Piltover and Zaun (Steampunky) and a few other Regions which are not that relevant for this Video /Text. The Entire "LoL" Lore is really really big right now and grows with every Year, it's freaking massive and im a huge fan of it, but i can feel it slowly losing a Grip on it. :( I really try'd on not going full Ham 24 Pages of Text here, but it's really hard and i left a few Parts out, so forgive me for not beeing 100% Accurate on everything. Besides if something isn't 100% Clear, please tell me. English isn't my Native Tongue nor am i proficient in Writing English. Thanks for taking the Time reading!

[@CiCi_Artenjoy]

For Awaken, when the man "Jhin" bows he has his "4th shot", which is in game the most damaging part of his kit, his auto attacks have 4 shots before reload and the 4th is meant to be the "kill shot" and Jhin in lore is a mass murderer, and a very theatrical one, everything he does is like a performance so he bows to his audience before closing out the show. And for lore, yes. infact League of Legends is one of the most well written large worlds in gaming but most of it is shrouded beneath just character bios, stories, books, cinematics and everything but League itself. Arcane is about Zaun/Pilltover which are the "Cyberpunk" or in League's case Hextech cities, Noxus which the large Axe wielding guy,the red haired assassin chick and the sword/axe throwing guy belong to is like a warrior society, ruthless conquerors who often are depicted against the Demacian kingdom, who are like your cookie cutter racist paladins, racist how? they hate mages. absolutely despise anything to do with magic, even if their crown princess is the strongest mage on that side of the world. Then there is the Ionia and the areas around it which is meant to be their take on Asian culture, so Japan/China/Korea, there is the Shadow isles, corrupted by the mist and death pretty much destroyed, Shurima which is like Egypt or Babylonia, the golden city and whatnot, then there is people in the snowy areas, mountains that been corrupted by "true ice" the land of Freljord which if you've ever read about Vikings and their mythology, yeah. There is the Void too... and the Darkins... and the stars and Aurelion Sol making the universe, Zoe traveling across it.. it's insane.. how much there is.. There are also many other things like Kindred in Still here cinematic, she is like Lamb and a wolf together, white and black, ying and yang, meant to represent death in the universe. So it literally is when she says "Tomorrow is a hope, never a promise" cause she is out there. hunting. and once her hunt for you is over. so is your life. that is what was the theme in Still Here. Yasuo, the samurai got shot with Kindred's arrow and Tryndamere, the berserking guy fighting Kindred, in lore he is just a berserker i think in a way cursed to enrage and kill anything around him when he is close to death, he literally is fighting for his existence until Ashe, his wife comes and calms him down, killing the two remaining enemies that were about to kill Tryndamere. so he wasn't really "fighting" kindred, only metaphorically hence why she disappears The lore of the game is so good and so vast it's insane that they haven't done an RPG game around it yet! R18 rated movie series of any parts of the world would sell hotcakes.

If you liked that Ruination event video that had some storyline there are more videos(some are sort of like storybook/animation instead of just full animated video) that gives you a fuller story of ruination. I believe there is a playlist somewhere on KZbin. There is also a physical book sold by riot about Ruination if you are into that. They have comics on different stories too but the majority are digital, but most importantly Free(digital) to access

[@sk_lurks]

Watching these all back to back is great, and confirms to me that Awaken is still the best one they've created, with The Call at a close, but not too close, second.

[@mastek9793]

i love your league of legends reaction! i would love to see reaction for Champion trailers, i recommend Aurelion Sol: Star Forger

[@DoctorNerf]

They do have nations and individual lore to the individual champions/nations. For example the steam punk area is called Zaun which the animated series 'ARCANE' is set in. For some individual lore the blonde character, Lux, at 30:50, is from 'Demacia' and in Demacia they are historically fearful of magic, and the use of magic is illegal in Demacia. That's why Lux is so sheltered with her hood up initially (because she is a mage but has to supress it). Also the warrior fighting before her is her brother, Garen. She eventually uses her magic to protect her people.

[@coojw777]

There's a lot more league cinematics that weren't in this compilation. You need to watch the entire "Ruination" set of cinematics in order, it tells a story. You watched the first one (where lucian and senna - the black couple - fought the mist). There's an entire story line of that one. so very sick. You need to see wild magic with xayah & rakaan, and there are others.

[@adriankuban2904]

In the League of Legends universe, which is made up of four "dimensions": 1. Void; 2. Celestial; 3. Spirit realm and 4. Physical in the form of the planet Runeterra, there are no infinity stones. But different types of magic and Rune = Runeterra. At the very beginning there was only the Void and the Watchers, but then the light appeared and a reality emerged that awakened the Watchers and since then they have been trying to destroy it. In reality, the death of Gray man/Pale man, which later becomes Kindred, two aspects of death, Lamb peaceful death and Wolf brutal death, appeared/originated. In the universe = Celestial Realm, the dragon of Twilight as Aurelion Sol created the stars around which the planets were formed. And later on, celestial beings and gods also began to engage in reality manipulation. The celestial gods created constellations that serve as predictions and guidance for people, and with the help of world runes they created the planet Runeterra in one of the regions, they pulled the mountain Targon out of the earth, which serves as the Gateway to the Celestial realm Targon Prime = "Universe". One of the Celestial Gods, for some unknown reason, later hid the world runes across the Runeters, which over time caused magical radiation, thanks to which Spirit Gods such as Anivia, Ornn, Volibear,... which reshaped the surface of the planet by ghosts, demons, and later created magical beings; Sky giants; Yordles = Heimerdinger from Bandle city which is in spirit realm; Vastayashai'rei (Shapeshifting Spirit race) + Humans = Vastaya Spirit Race and Humans and then Animalistic Humanoids races. Later, the Targionians people together with the help of the celestials created a crown for Aurelion Sol, whom they enslaved and thus became forced to listen to orders from the Celestial aspects to seal/destroy the void rifts with their Celestial fire. Over time, it is clear that various types of magic appeared or arose on Runeterra: Celestial, Spiritual, Shadow, Runic, Elemental, Temporal, Necronatic, Blood,... Runeterra is supposed to serve as a place where super powerful beings of Ascended aspects = Celestial demi-gods are to be created by, for example, a person climbs to the top of the mountain Targon and one of the Celestials chooses him as a suitable guest. Or, with the help of the Sun disk, I reflect celestial magic into the chosen people to create Ascended Shuriman golden god warriors where some failed and The Baccai = Ramus were created and others were Ascended sunborn Nasus, Renekton,... And later the fragments of them were created after the Void battle Darkins. All of this is to serve as a defense shield against the Void and its watchers, who are trying to destroy reality by creating Void rifts through which void born creators and monsters can pass and which devour and destroy. Or by controlling and corrupting the minds and bodies of beings on Runeterra.

[@zerodawn09]

for those who dont know 2023 og cinematic wasnt working out, they didnt say what wasnt but it wasnt up to riots standards so they slapped togther what we got. i assume they thought a toned down thing was better than something that just didnt work. people give them a re time for it. i get it. sometimes its best to put out thats complete than a broken thing.

[@VanillaDesu1]

the last fight is basically "Inmortality vs Death" Tryndamere (using his ultimate skill making him inmortal for a time) vs the Death represented by the Wolf and the Sheep, so bro is fighting not only vs soliders around, but facing the Death trying to claim him (white arrow = peaceful death, refuse peaceful death? then wolf will eat u)

[@ZealousJustice]

Angel if you're looking for lore behind some of these, then I'd recommend the KZbinr Necrit. He does a very good job explaining the goings on of Runeterra (the world of League of Legends). He does breakdowns of the Cinematics as well. Other than his breakdowns if you want history and information about the world check out his video, The World of Riot's MMO is Already Done. Keep it up bro!

[@AICoreHU]

What I don't see a lot of people talk about is that at the end of Still Here, when Ashe arrives, you can see that Tryndamere's eyes go back to normal, showing that the never-ending rage has disappeared. Even though their marriage was planned to make an alliance between their kingdoms, Tryndamere still loves Ashe. She is the only one who can make the rage go away and comfort her.

I would love for you to check the entire character list. Just look at their visual (potentially skins as well). Stream or a video.

[@thomaspereira1545]

19:04 you gotta watch Arcane now

[@mattwerdean]

44:24 not a first reaction. You knew the lyrics before it even happened

[@Angel_Rod]

LMFAO It's almost like we haven't listened to all the LoL songs the last few videos 🙄

[@drekor884]

Highly recommend Necrit like some other people. Honestly his power tier list is a pretty quick and dirty run down of the lore considering how many characters there are even if a few things have been retconned.

[@moonlitspider2827]

If you want a detailed story of the cinematics like Still Here, go check out Necrit. He makes videos on the lore, etc and goes in depth for some of these.

[@iversithy1927]

I need Arcane style Series for all those characters. So much good stuff. Can't wait to see the next project by them now that Arcane has finished.

[@ErisianRomantic]

38:00 The was the only correct reaction to The Call when it came out. 😊

[@louisrobitaille5810]

If you want to learn more about the world of Runeterra (the world of League of Legends), you should check out the videos Necrit made about what the Riot MMO could look like, starting with "The world of Riot's MMO is already done".

[@lionjezztv]

I am soooooooo impatient too see the 2025's season cinematic omg

[@AlmightyCris]

watch Necrits explanation of these videos, you'll not only learn about the champions in the videos but also about champions that fit in the story line and how they effect others

[@---vp6nr]

"Why isnt there a Movie!?" Theres Arcane the Netflix series.... And btw theres a TON of videos missing from that 2009-2024 comp.

[@mottoroller2048]

React to "Still here" lore explanation from Necrit. Its crazy how many details are in this short video

[@sorencarnail4785]

hey man if you want to know more about the lore of every character Necrit is the man his videos will explain almost everything love your reactions on these league cinematics

[@Parsinex000]

you should check out the voice lines next. my favorite voice lines are Aatrox's (the red demon guy from the Still Here cinematic).

[@SIRafael98]

YES!

[@LingeringFrost4]

you actually need to watch the champion trailers/videos like for belveth, reworked fiddlesticks, the zed vs darius one and many more

[@mrjokeirz4569]

They have just announced that the next season with have a cinematic, out in the next 2 months

[@shichibukaii]

You need to watch character trailers and music videos too.

[@karvest2036]

that creature at 25:40 is a ninja pikachu.

[@IIIuminate123]

Arcane will blow your mind

[@SpicySabo]

I can't wait for you to watch the Arcane series

[@xDWizZz]

You should 100% check out the video by Necrit called 'The Lore of "Still Here" Cinematic Explained.' It breaks down a ton of stuff that even long time league players wouldn't understand.

[@frankzero139]

hey angel you missed two of the best, "get jinxed"and "wildrift trailer". hope you make another video like that, hate lol as a game but love their art to death.

[@xMoonas]

I recommend to watch Necrit video about "Still here" explained - He have no issue to react on that.

[@rakuzikanzakii7115]

im confused did bud miss Arcane Series?

[@TheDragoon120]

The 2025 cinematic should be out in January

[@daydreamer8627]

44:26, yeah this guy already watched it, it's not the first time seeing it

[@Angel_Rod]

LMFAO It's almost like we haven't listened to all the LoL songs the last few videos 🙄

[@blackreaper2343]

love your raw reactiong, i can only imagine your reactions if you knew the characters and stories behind them displayed in the cinematics also do yourself a favor and watch Arcane :)

[@ChronoTriggerHappy]

ive played since beta, seeing the abandoned subtitle Clash of Fates is wierd lol

[@DemonicYami7449]

Imagine Dragons did the Warriors music, then the other version came but like 5 or 6 years later. Idk why this video doesn't include the first version 🤔 it's weird, it was official

[@SIRafael98]

You should do a reaction to Necrits video history of all lol or something like that

[@Real_Genji]

44:48 to explain the 2 women, that side eye was actually disgust. She finds her powers utterly repulsive.

[@SimplySprateX]

i really hope you watch Necrits videos explaining this stuff you will absolutely LOVE it

[@SimplySprateX]

even just the "still here" explained oh my god

[@onver0097]

I could write an easey about those Cinematics explaining them a little. But who would read it. Let's just say, league lore is just amazing, characters stories, regions, history.

[@SIRafael98]

YEEESSSS

[@seththenightgamer6206]

[@bynflew8552]

I'm surprised you haven't checked out Arcane yet

[@AsHDro1d]

youre about to watch Arcane and blow up

[@77Zenin77]

The Still Here cinematic show us past present and future in the league of legenfs world. The first scene we see i Kyle (the one with dark wings) and Morgana (the one with white wings) fighting agaist powrrful Daarkin Aatrox. Kyle and Morgana are basically defenders of Demacia or i believe Aspects ot Justice. Aatrox on the other hand... Well. He just want to destory everything but not becouse he llis death and destruction. He just want to die but he literally cant becouse every time he is defeated he is just sealed back in his sword. He hopes that if he destory everything his sword will be destroyed too and he will finelly be able to rest. What we see here is probably the moment long time ago when he was defeated and his soul was sealed in his sword for a very long time. Also when Kyle strike him down with the fire we can see Kindred in flames. The second scene takes us tot he future, to the village in Ionia, where very old Yasuo is fighting of some bandits. Why? We dont know who they are but Yasuo is kinda the protector of Ionia and he is probabbly trying to help those people. At the end of the scene we can see arrows raining down on him and in the worest we can se eyes of wolf which means death comes from Yasuo and he can choose to fight on accept it. He does accept it, which is why he is shoot with a silver arrow of death. In the leat scene we see the present time and Barbarian king Tryndamere. When he wake up in the forest he stands face to face with Kindred. Kindred id a representation of death in Runeterra that show in form of a Wolf and Lamb. Every living thing in runetera see Kindred in their last moment and everyone have to choose if they want to accept death and be struck down by Lamb's swift arrow or to try to flee and be chased down by the wolf. We See Tryndamere does not accept the arrow so he gets the fight with a wolf. Usually fighting wolf is ends in only one way, with the victim in his jaws. But Tryndamere can actually keep himself alive with the Undying Rage (it has a bit to do with him picking up Aatrox's sword but i wont be getting deeper into it) the point is he can keep himself from dying for just a short time. And this short time is enough for Ashe, his wife, to arrive and help him by shooting two arrows into enemies who were attacking him. Becouse tryndamere wasnt actually fighting Kindred. The fight against death took place in his mind as in reality he was fighring off thr wariors who vere attacking him. Every wolf's bite was a stab of an enemy sword or a cut from the blade. When Ashe came to aid Tryndamere Kindred disappeareas becouse barbarian is not about to die anymore, so there is nothing for them here

[@Parsinex000]

that "Still Here" cinematic has a lot of easter eggs that get covered in a video by a youtuber named Necrit.

[@Geckothan]

At first I thought more about Word of Warcraft than League of legend

[@CZ2_Delta]

We don't talk about 2023

[@FalhaViva]

Lore? BRO! You NEED to react to "Riot mmo: The world is already done"
