"who is he fighting?"

Faker: "Are you sure about that?"

"is that vander" bro is messing with his friends they dont know.

Any yordle appears
These guys: HEIMERDINGER!

Never in a million years did I think I’d see a lol seasons cinematics reaction from you guys

as a league player, anything that is around league is fucking great. Cinematics, lore, esports by league on it's own is like a heroin

Players HATED Brink of Infinity btw. It was basically a slap in the face. "Still Here" has the best lore and if you knew it, you'd all most likely agree It's the best cinematic. Especially the Ned character (Tryndamere).

To whet the appetite, he's cursed by the giant demon dude (Aatrox) in the beginning (maybe that's not canon anymore but it used to be) to go into an "undying rage" when he's close to death and the wolf/lamb creature with the bow he's fighting is the personification of death called Kindred. What we're seeing is him literally fighting death to stay alive beyond his means, noted by the Lamb's confused headtilt towards the end of their fight. The rage is quelled by his wife, the Frost Archer called Ashe, saving him from the attackers behind him. It's all very cool and I suggest looking into it.

You guys can react to all worlds cinematics (like: rise, phoenix, etc) and KDA, True Damage and starguardian too xd I also missed Varus and Xayah & Rakan video aswell, DON'T FORGET AMUMU!!

34:58
whenever they pop their super its so ultimate is crazy

You guys need to watch the music videos & themes. KDA, True Damage, Pentakill, PROJECT, Star Guardian, Galaxies, etc

Some quick context and lore
Hairy lava man is a guy named Ornn, God of the forge. he has sworn (and when a god makes an oath, it's basically unbreakable) to never forge another weapon unless the world itself is in imminent danger.

Ice lady with the pig is Sejuani, leader of one of the 3 major (human) tribes of the freljord (ice place), the other 2 major tribes being led by her sisters, Ashe and Lissandra (they hate each other, don't ask) Cool Viking guy who throws the axe is olaf, he's on a suicide quest to die in glorious combat because a Seer said he'd die peacefully in his sleep in bed when he was old.
The bears are the children of Volibear, storm god (popped up in the clouds briefly), Both Ornn and Volibear are siblings who had a major battle years ago and don't like each other. As stated above, because of how vicious their battle was, Ornn vowed to never forge another weapon again unless he was able to predict a realm ending event happening soon.

moving on the Spartan guy, that's pantheon (technically he's a dude possessed by pantheon) and is the god of war, not to be confused with Kratos. he's climbing mount targon (basically mount Olympus) because he hates the other gods, Leona, the sun god pops down to dual him for a bit, then Aurelion Sol (basically the god of anything between this particular solar system to the entire universe, not particularly descriptive, but he's a big space dragon) knocks pantheon off the mountain(technically Sol doesn't like anybody related to Mount Targon, but he was tricked by their rulers and they chained him thus they control him and his powers), causing our boi to lean into his god powers to yeet back up to finish his beef with the gods.

Sand place (Shurima) has Taliyah, The earthbender, helping Kai'sa (sexy mutant suit lady) fight the children of Rek'sai (the big monster from the hole) to lure rek'sai out so that Kai'sa can hop into the void to do things and such, meanwhile Taliyah stays behind to seal the hole once kai'sa is in. this is likely the thing leading into future story development, so we don't know a lot of the "whys" yet. Kais'sa for context is from the land of Shruima which long ago was sucked up by the "Void" Kais'a herself was sucked up when her village went under as a child and she only survived because she decided to go further into the Void, thus she found a piece of the void and it's molded to her body. She eventually escaped the void and has vowed to protect all other realms from the void trying to suck up everything. Basically, the void wants to devour everything it touches.
_______________________________________
Context: This cinematic is described as the "Past, Present, and Possible Futures" and if you noticed between each transition, there is very small image of Kindred as she comes to claim each soul's life, in the fire when Morgana burns Aatrox and her eyes in the faint woods as Yasuo accepts his death with the arrow being shot at him

The first two characters you see (the angels) are Morgana (Purple Wings), and Kayle (White Wings) the twin Aspects of Justice. They're also sisters wielding two halves of their mother's blade (their mother was the previous Aspect of Justice). That scene takes place in the past of what we know of the lore right now, during a siege on a kingdom called Demacia, which happened in ancient times.

To be an Aspect is kind of like being an avatar for a god. The person they're fighting is Aatrox, who, at one point, was also kind of an avatar for godly powers, but was corrupted by blood magic, and effectively "cursed" to never die. He now seeks the destruction of all existence in the hopes that he could finally rest. The last bit of the scene seems to be meant to show the differences in Kayle and Morgana's personalities. Morgana will sink to any low she needs to in order to do what is right, whereas Kayle sees herself above it all, looking at her position as an Aspect as far more important than it possibly is. Since this is the past, this is technically before Kayle and Morganna split and go separate ways on deciding how to deal Justice. But you can definitely tell Kayle is now mad at Morganna for using magic and two, throwing down there's mother sword.

The second scene is of the future, in a small village in a land called Ionia. The old samurai is a character by the name of Yasuo, a master of a powerful wind technique. He's had a life of disgrace, and hardship, failing to save his master who taught him the wind technique, being blamed for his death, and then having to kill his own brother who hunted him down. Clearly, when he grows old, he finds a place in the small village, and lives there in peace until it's attacked, prompting him to take up a sword in defense of the people. The scene is pretty self-explanatory, but it's a very strong moment for League of Legends fans for sure.

The final scene is my favorite. The whole video starts with the line "Tomorrow is a hope. Never a promise." This line is spoken by Lamb, one half of the character known as The Kindred. The Kindred serve as the Grim Reaper of the world of League of Legends. The story goes that Death was so lonely that it split itself in two, so it would "always have a friend". One half is the Lamb, and the other half is the Wolf. Lamb represents the peace in acceptance of death, wielding a bow to deliver a swift end, and Wolf represents the violence of rejecting and running from death, being literally a beast that mauls anything that tries to escape. You only see them when they've decided your time has come.

The character we zoom in on at the end is Tryndamere, a barbarian king of the Freljord (Frel-yord). At the very beginning, he seems to be in a battle for his life against surrounding forces. When we reach the end, his vision shifts to a darker scene, and the image of the Kindred come into his view. Wolf is on the offensive, because Tryndamere is trying to fight for his life. Lamb tries to deliver shots that will end him quickly, but it seems Lamb is surprised to see that Tryndamere has a power that lets him avoid death for a short time (which is what the red in his eyes means) (If I am correct based off lore, he is infused with blood magic which technically allows him to become immortal when on the brink of death). It catches them off guard and lets Tryndamere almost get a blow in. While Wolf attempts to maul him, Lamb tries to go for one final strike, when Ashe, the frost archer, and wife of Tryndamere, arrives and kills two of the men that were attacking him. The Kindred and their darkness fade away, indicating that Ashe's arrival has saved Tryndamere from the Kindred's hunt, and the death he was destined for. As more forces move in against them, Ashe fires a hawk shot into the air to signal their position and call for reinforcements.

Coming from Arcane, I think the best cinematics to watch next would be Tales of Runeterra cinematics for each region. They are the most story-focused and do a great job showcasing the setting surrounding Arcane and the League IP!

- World's theme songs now
- World's performances (as these ones got Arcane related stuff too)
- KDA and True Damage (There's Ekko here)
- Amumu and Annie
- Perhaps Fiddlesticks and Warwick (this for Arcane season 2!)

Never thought the boys would try to go and try to learn League lore thanks to Arcane but I'm here for it

Can you guys react to all lol music videos too ??

I'm always sad the fiddlesticks rework trailer is never included in these videos. I still go back and rewatch that every once in a while, my favorite for sure

Lesgoooo Arcane is actually such a peak show in so many aspects. Regardless of whether people like the game or not, the team behind League has always worked incredibly hard on creating a massively intricate and detailed world of lore, and that's why the cinematics have also always been so well received. So glad they made a show and executed it as well as they did, and really hope they explore more of the other 11 regions in the league world that have equally peak stories and relationships as piltover and zaun do. Really cool to see you guys react to these cinematics and SO excited for season 2 its bouta be hype

They miss the league of legend cinématic video about Yone/Yasuo: Kin of the Stained Blade | Spirit Blossom 2020 Cinematic - League of Legends, Please upvote this for them to know about

Never clicked so fast on a video

That last fight in the last cinematic is so much more epic if you have context. The guy(Tryndamire) is literally fighting death(Lamb and Wolf).
