Villain video She was a succubus so when you see her, she's charming you and the vid looks like delusional and the last part was kinda she's killing you
8:30 she isninto BDSM, those kind of whips, and do what the claws do but better, in game she jumps to you with those things to stab you since she is a succubus... Fun fact in KDA lore, where she is supposed to be human... No one has seen her boyfriends after she dates em... They just dissapear
“not showing her” is actually a major part of her character and gameplay. she lurks in the shadows and only reveals herself on the attack. she’s a demon who feeds on the suffering of others.
In game Evelynn lurks in the shadows until she attacks. This is the reason why they only show parts of her or why she's in the shadows. The tails/slashers and nails are her weapons ingame.
She's also basically a succubus that "charms" men to follow her to their demise, and charms in League have a general pink/purple vibe to them, and why they showcase the heart/smoke (she turns invisible with a puff of smoke in the game) in this video. Also follows the lyrics of "Just do what I say, follow me I'll lead the way." As a succubus, yeah she doesn't feed on women so all her friends are ONLY in K/DA, and they're all women. Edit: just had some major shower thoughts. This video is probably from the perspective of her victims, like you don’t “see” Evelynn throughout until it’s too late. The weird distorted visuals and vocals are all an effect of her charm making you delusional.
@@jinjoshorts In lore she actually feeds off of agony so it doesnt matter if its a woman or a man... She just took a form of a woman because men are easier to charm. Also she is friends with them mostly because they make her famous & so more prey (her fans) comes to her. It's not that she only kills men. She just wants anyone to suffer.
"She's a bit vampiry" he says, talking about a horrible demon that feeds on agony and learned the best agony came right after people felt the most pleasure
Evelynn is a demon/succubus in the game, and the music video represents what she's doing in the game, her gameplay. She's always invisible, hidden, and waiting for a prey to show up and she ... eviscerates it, :) . And the "tails" are weapons she uses to kill, she controls em. She's the best
For normal Evelynn - Her "tails" are called the lashers, its her weapon along with her claws. She uses them to torture her prey in unimaginable ways before finally killing them. Kda Evelynn has a separate lore where the lashers are just accessories for her performance on stage and videos etc. She is also a car collector (which is why in pop stars we see her with a lot of lambos and here with a dodge charger 1970) she is also the diva, the fashion lover and the most popular of the group with magazines always writting rumours about her and whenever she is seen with a men (on a red carpet or dinner) they always disappear afterwards. Also her pushing through the glass with the fire is a refference to the rebirth of lilith
with her being a car colector and has spesificly a 1970 Dodge Charger in mind... is it fair to say she probobly has a 1969 Ford BOSS 429 Mustang in her arsenal/fleet too?
LOL xD didn’t realise this but I realised the little gaps between her teeth to give it also more realism cause most ppl have gaps and only promis with much money and really lucky guys have “perfect” or fake teeth
they add a lot of really neat details like that!! to name a few of them: they animated her heels wobbling as she walks on uneven ground like you mentioned, at 3:19 you can see her claw push back off the wall after hitting it because of the kinetic energy of her hand and the impact with the wall stopping the motion, at 3:23 you can see her claw keeps hitching as she drags it down the wall because it's snagging on the gritty surface, at 4:13 you can see her lips do that thing people's lips do where they stick together and pull apart when she opens her mouth, at 5:30 you can see visible pores/dimples/bumpy sort of textures on her skin (and at various other points throughout the video you can see very realistic textures on her skin, with visible palm lines & wrinkles on her hands etc). they're all such small details but they add _so_ much to the visuals and make her feel so much more tangible and real, it's a lot of fun to watch the video and appreciate all the tiny details they decided to include
The reason why she didnt show her face is because on a video Evelynn made explaining her song, she said "Its not about what you see that matters, its what you dont"
The reason the video doesn't seem "coherent" is because it's *not* a music video. This is titled as the "Official Concept Video." K-Pop fans tend to be more familiar with this term. Artists typically release a "Music Video" which is made to tell a story from beginning to end. Whereas a "Concept Video" is just that-a concept. It represents the aesthetics and what goes on inside the mind of the artist. It shows the theme of the whole song. In this case, we see what makes Evelynn well.. Evelynn. The "Concept Video" focuses on her nails, her lashers, the whole being in darkness (because she's an assassin), and her cars. We see her being a natural, enticing diva and that's the whole point.
Purple is most commonly linked to royalty and mystery, which I feel fits Evelynn and her story really well. Also, food for thought on the snakes: Snakes while connected to evil, they are also connected to healing (the Caduceus symbol) and were symbols of rebirth and renewal by Greeks. More so, the myth of Medusa comes to mind, an attractive girl violated by a god and then given the power to turn men into stone by Athena as punishment, in a weird twist at the same time punishing her and giving her the power to defend herself in the future, making her a very dangerous woman. Im in love with this video tbh, I just want an instrumental version of the song to go with the video so I can be completely sucked into it with all its glory.
I think this whole video is an excellent showcase of the most challenging aspects of animation. Liquid, smoke physics, light dynamics, fabric movement, etc. And they really nailed it.
Knowing that she's a demon, is amazing how they managed to keep her in the darkness the entire video, and making it sexy but keeping it ambiguous. This is in another artistic level. My fav League of Legends video so far. Great analysis as always!
I think the "pink" part is actually her charm ability from in-game. She essentially charms the opponent for a few seconds and it she hits them with an ability it procs them to walk towards her "dilerious" for a few seconds. It makes sense when we see the heart (thats what it looks like in game) then the pink smoke/envronment warping around them from being crazed pretty much. Or thats how I viewed that part as an Evelynn player - maybe I'm reaching :P
I absolutely love the visual representation of her W in this video lol This is an incredible artistic journey of depicting the choosing of a victim, we the viewers, (the beauty-less cityscape with the sudden injection of a distant mysterious and beautiful silhouette and the subsequent acknowledgement of her "innocently" noticing you having noticed her, I can hear her maniacal giggle when that occurs), finding her way inside our heads (looking through the ajar door), the passage of time and her moving in (her appearing inside and her stuff gradually decorating our house), her seduction of us, confusing us with reality and fantasy (this puts her in the driver's seat), and then the feeding begins and she destroys us from within. Its incredibly well done. Also the vehicle is a '69 Dodge Charger. According to my enthusiast buddy
Some fact of her lore for you: 1. Evelynn is kind of Succubus, not a vampire. 2. She very likely to tease whoever she just meet to death, so maybe the tease about face reveal you mention come from this. (Or maybe just because she can invisible entire time in the game, until she want to reveal, from lv 6) 3. Her tail is use to grap the victim, while her nail use to kill (But acctually in game, her ultimate ability is using her Tail).
I really love how they perfectly emulated the anamorphic look and characteristics with the bokeh, flares and imperfections that an anamorphic lens have
Evelynn is the "manifestation" of pain and torment. She is close to a succubus, but instead enticing people and then tourturing them as painfully and slow as possible to "feed" on the pain off her pray. In video shes not showed fully since if u see her u are already dead. Ingame she is invisible and becomes visible when attacking an enemy or when she gets "to close". Her "tails" are called lashers and she uses them to eviscerate her foes. Great video as always
Man I was waiting for this video and I am not disappointed. Also the last few frames feel super grounded in realism as nothing about her model is symmetrical and the smile at the end is more of a sideways smirk, adding more to her devious character
About the light switching on in that building. I think Evelynn is looking for her next victim (since she's a succubus of some sort) and while everything is dark in the city, there is one light guiding her toward someone who's still awake. In the very next scene you also see her peeking inside the lit up room, I guess.
Evelynn does not have tails, I think they are called 'Lashers'.. And she can use them or the claws to kill her victims. Riot really nailed it in this cinematic, the song and whole theme fits Evelynn's character and lore so perfect.
now this is a good reaction, cus he never stopped or inturupted the video, when he first time watch it, not like this stupid reactions 'channels' which should get banned anyways, cus stright up most of them, dont even do it right, they just put 99% of someone's video and just say max 5 words. Idk why tf youtube don't ban those idiots. Anyways I hate reaction channels, but Connor knows how to do this stuff right, so good job my man, keep it up
I think the reason the video is like that is because it is meant to be analyzed beyond what we see. Because in Evelynn's short audio clip, she mentions that she likes to focus on visuals and tell a story, and that it's not what we see that matters, it's what we dont. According to a lot of people, it seems that the video was hinting at Evelynn's character and her playstyle in LoL
Evelynn is an amazing character and how it is represented in the KDA Universe and this video is just amazing. All the teasing is because you can't see it, by the time you see it, you're dead, so Evelynn is truly a villian in a way. But I think it's just hungry 🤭
I don't think kia sai is bad but definitely not what was expected. I think they could have at least animated kai sai next to the girl that's dancing ( she did an amazing job)
So in the video Evelynn in the start is hunting a prey and in the 8:26 she found one, the person who is watching the video, and the weird stuff in her video is what she made with her victims mind, before she torture and kill you ;P ps: she hides in the shadows thats why we barely can see her... and the uses her tails like wips or lashers
This video is actually so well made that if you watch closely the shots focused on her feets (like 0:56 for example) when she's walking on kind of a durt with small gravel floor you can see that her ankles kinda wobble because of how irregular the ground is and because she's walking with high heels ! Yes there's that much details ! Now we can say the devil is in the details x)
Riot has mastered the art of finding studios and animators who want to make stuff that people wish they could do while making traditional real life stuff. They do a great job of knowing when and how to add style without it compromising the overall scene.
I love the fact they did the whole thing with her using her claws a lot, reminds me of Freddy Krueger. Especially the part with the rubber window, reminds me of a scene where Freddy pushed through a wall to kill one of his victims
Something to be commented on the visuals on this video. This champion in league of legend is mostly stealth. As in, she is invisible until she starts charming you and then strikes for the kill. So I love that she is never fully visible in the video, as if she was stealth in her own video, or as in if she was hard to capture in video because she is trying to hide.
one of her ability in game is tale whip where she curves her tails towards an enemy and dash or hit them while clawing at same time so clawing with her hands and together with her tail, its not a part of her but her clothing. @chris connor
I felt like this was just Riot’s CGI team flexing their physics rendering skills 1. The snakes- that move and wiggle around on top of each other 2. The blue silk draped on top of her while she walks 3. The membrane material she stretches with her claw 4. The car to snakeskin to silk transition 5. The chairs collapsing in on each other Less impressive but still cool and used to good effect 6. Smoke and dust particles 7. Fire and water
I like how for like 1 second her true demon form starts showing up, non stylized lashers growing out of her back like razor sharp tree roots. And redder eyes.
From my understanding and from her lores: 1. The music video is shes teasing you thats why u can't see her. Shes a demon that lure men and devour their soul. 2. Empty town lights up shes on top of building to search new victims. 3. Ur right on her minds of criminal/inner worlds. 4. Chairs represent her victims, new pink sofa is her new victim while old clump up chair is her old victims. 5. Snakes represent how many killcounts soul shes already consumed/ become evilness within her. 6. Nail movement and eyes to allure and control her victim to her. 7. Hell break loose on bridge! She starts to show herself as victim draws near. 8. New pink sofa is consumed by darkness. Her new victim done for! 9. Shes start lurking in darkness for you. You start seeing her Smiling at you. 10. Whop pah! Ur dead hahah. Cool video btw! Love evelynn. 💜
Interesting!! U mentioned purple being the 'in-between'. From what I know purple is also a colour of 'nobility' and it's also usually used to represent dark magic or evil (usually dark purple).
I understand you need to rest take your time we are in the holiday season and when you feel more relaxed and ready to film please react to Ryze call of power and Odyssey cinemtic I'm sure you will love it 😊
In the game, she has this hability that makes her invisible, also, she has those tails because in the game lore, she use those to...u know, obtain her food that is basically pain. in the original lore she's a demon that feeds form pain and was the result of all the suffering that war produced.
I mean as far as I know Evelynn is a stylish, slick mannered sex obsessed extremely effective killer who WAS fragile but new items can remove this weakness can regen her health and has been reworked at least once to better show it. She is a jungler in game that has been buffed from items to the point where if she finds you your basically screwed unless you manage to stun and burst her before she touches you or your a super tank even then you still must focus her as the tank or she will delete you AS the tank astonishingly fast (I am being completely serious about the delete part). In short she's almost the strongest character in the game this video shows some of her story in a textured visual representation.
This whole music video makes me think of one of Hawkeyes lines from Avengers. "You know what its like to have some one pick at your brain and play? Pull you out and stuff something else inside. Do you know what its like to be unmade?"
Hello, at first that single apartment light can mean that she has just acquired a new prey and she is about to hunt them down, the scene where several buildings light up at the end could be her just hunting them ALL because that is what she does as a demon. Also, the purple reverse slo-mo heart thingy and the laughing are based on a skill called "allure" which she uses to charm and attract her prey against their will
Evelynn is literally just a demon that feeds on humans' suffering. She choose a form to seduce people and kill them as slowly and painfully as possible. This skin is a reimagining of the character where she's actually human, all the K/D/A characters are set in the real world. But she still retains a lot of her original personnality. In game, she is permanently invisible except when she's in combat. Before exiting stealth she places a delayed curse on you, which seduces and forces you to walk towards her if she manages to hit you after the curse is primed. Her lashers (tails) are her semi-long range weapons which she uses for most of her attacks.
I think the fact that we don't clearly see Eve in the video adds to the "Horror" aspect of her as a usual horror movie concept is that the less you see of the "monster", the scarier it is as it feeds into people's fear of the unknown. The shifting light, reverse visual and slow motion I think try to create an air of un ease. My take of the video is that it's a POV of one if her victims and you're in her lair, or in some sort of "hell". Such a cool video that has a lot to analyze. Also, the Madison Beer comment is Kim Petras erasure! lol Kim as two Halloween themed albums that are very dark themed, so i think she was also a great choice to take part in this song. Love the videos!
It makes sense for her to stay in the shadows. Even at the last second, it's only them teasing her face because of her play style. She unleashes her combo which is very fast the moment the charm takes effect (though not always because the charm can become a slow if the charging is interupted). It's a big burst of damage. If you were a character in the game, you wouldn't even be able to see her full appearance because you'd be dead in a split second.
Basically Evelyn is a demon feeding on agony. She lures her prey and takes form of their interest/desire to make them as happy as possible to then kill them. She does that so it hurts them more, therefore more agony for her to feast on . " The height of their happiness is the depth of their pain" - one of Evelyn's quotes
In short, Evelynn is simply an entity. In the lore of LoL, it arose during a series of battles known as "Runic Wars". Initially, this entity (amorphous) fed on the pain and suffering of those soldiers who fell in battle. Eventually these wars ended, so Evelynn no longer had enough "food" to survive, so she must have found some way to get food. Over the years he learned to adopt different forms, each time better than the previous ones, in order to attract her victims and torture them to death, until she reached what we know today: a beautiful and sensual woman who Without any problem is capable of attracting any man. Once this is done, we all know what the poor man's fate will be. This is basically her main form. lolstatic-a.akamaihd.net/frontpage/apps/prod/rg-evelynn-reveal/es_ES/225e290f807d02696f99c4ddb7df41a6a7bd20f9/assets/img/share/evelynn-1200x630.jpg The tails are used to finally execute the victims Greetings
"I wonder why that light showed up" - Well because her PREY came back home from work. :D At first I thought it was a membrane-thing, too. But look closely it's just smoke, there is no membrane or skin or glass. I also like the wobbling of her ankle while she is walking (12:31), well the ground IS uneven.
That AD in the beginning was pretty cool but I think it would've been way better to show it's functionality too? Like maybe it was just me but I had no idea what it was until you said "card holder' XD
As usual, I loved your reaction and analysis! This song is perfect for Evelynn 💖💖💖 My QUEEN slays! BTW, Chris take all the time you need to rest! Stay safe!!!
This video feels more like a Tech Demo than an actual music video. They go out of their way to incorporate all the hardest to digitally create aspects: Fluids, smoke, fire, very complex materials interacting with light (refraction, reflection, translucency) especially on complex shapes and detailed surfaces, animated textures/materials... all that stuff... Personally I wouldn't care much for the song, but the visuals are just so great from a technical standpoint. I'd be interested to see an actual video project with this level of CG...
I know you did some of the Star Wars Old Republic cinematics before but not the ones called Return, Deceived, and Hope. I believe that is the correct order to watch them in as well. Star Wars always makes for some badass moments!
Actually, Evelynn is a demon who was originally a shadow “thing.” In her story, they showed that she took pleasure in making people falling for her to suffer. In her KDA All Out skin, the lore explain that all the people who works with her disappear and says that she's on a special diet. Btw, you can see on the Kda All out album's Cover the look that she gave to Ahri. I think that's all ?
The tails are for stabbing and slashing. In game they look like coat-tails that sometimes extend upward and forward. They're more like large bladed tentacles than tails really. The claws are for injuring, the tails are for killing.
this is an allegory of how she works lorewise... once she got you hooked on luring you for a good time the heart pops off and she's already on your mind and then you start going insane since she just starts killing you and feed off your pain since for her the higher on bliss you are before falling into despair the tastier the treat it is. Also... those "tails" are basically to flail you alive *shrugs* hahaha
That video describes exactly how is the feeling to play against evelynn, most part of the time she is invisible and when she shows her face, is time to die. You never know where is she, but you know she is there !l Really like your job, keep doing it \o/ Brazilian fan xD

This is an incredible artistic journey of depicting the choosing of a victim, we the viewers, (the beauty-less cityscape with the sudden injection of a distant mysterious and beautiful silhouette and the subsequent acknowledgement of her "innocently" noticing you having noticed her, I can hear her maniacal giggle when that occurs), finding her way inside our heads (looking through the ajar door), the passage of time and her moving in (her appearing inside and her stuff gradually decorating our house), her seduction of us, confusing us with reality and fantasy (this puts her in the driver's seat), and then the feeding begins and she destroys us from within. Its incredibly well done.
Also the vehicle is a '69 Dodge Charger. According to my enthusiast buddy
YAAASSS! FINALLY I CAN SEE CONNOR REACT TO THE QUEEEEEEEEEEEN
Other people: “Where the lip gloss at?”
Him: “Oh... those eyes, Oh.... snakes”
'Ahri now have competition'
So irony that 'I'll show you' drop shortly after this lol
Chris: "Favourite outfit I have to say"
Me: Ah a man of culture I see
Some fact of her lore for you:
1. Evelynn is kind of Succubus, not a vampire.
2. She very likely to tease whoever she just meet to death, so maybe the tease about face reveal you mention come from this. (Or maybe just because she can invisible entire time in the game, until she want to reveal, from lv 6)
3. Her tail is use to grap the victim, while her nail use to kill (But acctually in game, her ultimate ability is using her Tail).
Ô này thắc mắc mấy cái này hả
Yes, he does
I really love how they perfectly emulated the anamorphic look and characteristics with the bokeh, flares and imperfections that an anamorphic lens have
Evelynn is the "manifestation" of pain and torment. She is close to a succubus, but instead enticing people and then tourturing them as painfully and slow as possible to "feed" on the pain off her pray. In video shes not showed fully since if u see her u are already dead. Ingame she is invisible and becomes visible when attacking an enemy or when she gets "to close". Her "tails" are called lashers and she uses them to eviscerate her foes. Great video as always
Man I was waiting for this video and I am not disappointed. Also the last few frames feel super grounded in realism as nothing about her model is symmetrical and the smile at the end is more of a sideways smirk, adding more to her devious character
About the light switching on in that building. I think Evelynn is looking for her next victim (since she's a succubus of some sort) and while everything is dark in the city, there is one light guiding her toward someone who's still awake. In the very next scene you also see her peeking inside the lit up room, I guess.
Oh yes totally- and towards the end, when all the lights in the city turn on, it's like *everyone* could be her next victim, no one is safe.
@@eileencrys And here I am, waiting in my room with my lights on every night xD
Reaction lol wild rift trailer "you really got me" pls
yes
yes
Yesssss
YES PLEASE
its my favorite one because jinx^^
This looked so real, I honestly thought it was Evelynn trying to put me under her spell and press r
This is THE best KD/A song and Video lile 11/10 and far beyond Amazing!
"The fun is in the tease~"
-Evelyn
Evelynn does not have tails, I think they are called 'Lashers'.. And she can use them or the claws to kill her victims. Riot really nailed it in this cinematic, the song and whole theme fits Evelynn's character and lore so perfect.
Some of the most creative, and good to watch sponsorships on RUclips. Love all your stuff man!
18:01 That smirk on his face after he said "favorite outfit"... We all know what that meant 😂
This is easily my favorite of the KDA videos Riot has made, because this fits so perfectly with the in game/in lore Evelynn.
Your reactions make me appreciate the work put into the videos way more😄
now this is a good reaction, cus he never stopped or inturupted the video, when he first time watch it, not like this stupid reactions 'channels' which should get banned anyways, cus stright up most of them, dont even do it right, they just put 99% of someone's video and just say max 5 words. Idk why tf youtube don't ban those idiots. Anyways I hate reaction channels, but Connor knows how to do this stuff right, so good job my man, keep it up
I've been waiting for this react. The graphics in this video are jaw dropping, they're amazing. I love it so much.
I think the reason the video is like that is because it is meant to be analyzed beyond what we see. Because in Evelynn's short audio clip, she mentions that she likes to focus on visuals and tell a story, and that it's not what we see that matters, it's what we dont.
According to a lot of people, it seems that the video was hinting at Evelynn's character and her playstyle in LoL
Evelynn is an amazing character and how it is represented in the KDA Universe and this video is just amazing. All the teasing is because you can't see it, by the time you see it, you're dead, so Evelynn is truly a villian in a way. But I think it's just hungry 🤭
When my life starts to get together, suddenly 16:19
I love your reactions! It's so genuine.. and btw don't forget to react also on Ahri's Concept Video. They did bad on Kai'Sa's :( sad...
Will there be one for Akali? A full kinda rap song would be cool too imo. If you know would be cool if to update us cheers
@@klavicus2276 it's supposed to be The Baddest... :/
I don't think kia sai is bad but definitely not what was expected. I think they could have at least animated kai sai next to the girl that's dancing ( she did an amazing job)
the light showed up at 8:30 is because when someone gets close to evelynn when she's invisible, an indicator lights up
So in the video Evelynn in the start is hunting a prey and in the 8:26 she found one, the person who is watching the video, and the weird stuff in her video is what she made with her victims mind, before she torture and kill you ;P
ps: she hides in the shadows thats why we barely can see her... and the uses her tails like wips or lashers
I can't tell if it was intentional but the two clicks in the little intro screen synced up really well with when Evelynn woulda said "go POP" 0:02
Wow! Such beautiful shots of the Aluminum cardholder! Thank you ❤️
This video is actually so well made that if you watch closely the shots focused on her feets (like 0:56 for example) when she's walking on kind of a durt with small gravel floor you can see that her ankles kinda wobble because of how irregular the ground is and because she's walking with high heels ! Yes there's that much details ! Now we can say the devil is in the details x)
Riot has mastered the art of finding studios and animators who want to make stuff that people wish they could do while making traditional real life stuff. They do a great job of knowing when and how to add style without it compromising the overall scene.
Your reactions are so cute, and also you. ❤️
Was waiting for this review, randomly searched for it and it was out. Made my day !
I love the fact they did the whole thing with her using her claws a lot, reminds me of Freddy Krueger. Especially the part with the rubber window, reminds me of a scene where Freddy pushed through a wall to kill one of his victims
5:45 i think even AHRI's "CHARM" can't keep him safe from EVELYNN. 😜😜😜
This make me wonder what would happen if Eve and Ahri Charms the same person? Whose charm is more powerful?
Something to be commented on the visuals on this video. This champion in league of legend is mostly stealth. As in, she is invisible until she starts charming you and then strikes for the kill.
So I love that she is never fully visible in the video, as if she was stealth in her own video, or as in if she was hard to capture in video because she is trying to hide.
one of her ability in game is tale whip where she curves her tails towards an enemy and dash or hit them while clawing at same time so clawing with her hands and together with her tail, its not a part of her but her clothing. @chris connor
Honestly I trust this man to destroy this bussy
I absolutely love Evelyn, she is one of my most played champions in LoL, I know she like evil....but like.........We love Evelyn 😂
I felt like this was just Riot’s CGI team flexing their physics rendering skills
1. The snakes- that move and wiggle around on top of each other
2. The blue silk draped on top of her while she walks
3. The membrane material she stretches with her claw
4. The car to snakeskin to silk transition
5. The chairs collapsing in on each other
Less impressive but still cool and used to good effect
6. Smoke and dust particles
7. Fire and water
You can press space to pause the video and play it. That way you wont have to deal with going out of fullscreen and can pause/play quick.
No one presses play the way Connor does. The master of enthusiastic button presses. Love the content man 👌
The sponsor ad are so clean man. It's the only sponsor ad i would watch
I like how for like 1 second her true demon form starts showing up, non stylized lashers growing out of her back like razor sharp tree roots. And redder eyes.
From my understanding and from her lores:
1. The music video is shes teasing you thats why u can't see her. Shes a demon that lure men and devour their soul.
2. Empty town lights up shes on top of building to search new victims.
3. Ur right on her minds of criminal/inner worlds.
4. Chairs represent her victims, new pink sofa is her new victim while old clump up chair is her old victims.
5. Snakes represent how many killcounts soul shes already consumed/ become evilness within her.
6. Nail movement and eyes to allure and control her victim to her.
7. Hell break loose on bridge! She starts to show herself as victim draws near.
8. New pink sofa is consumed by darkness. Her new victim done for!
9. Shes start lurking in darkness for you. You start seeing her Smiling at you.
10. Whop pah! Ur dead hahah.
Cool video btw! Love evelynn. 💜
Interesting!! U mentioned purple being the 'in-between'. From what I know purple is also a colour of 'nobility' and it's also usually used to represent dark magic or evil (usually dark purple).
That eye shot at 15:30 reminds me of a shot of Kerrigan from SC2s trailer
That sponsor video and music was amazing.
2:31 "Woah it looks so real!!" All I can think of is...Minecraft Shaders
I understand you need to rest take your time we are in the holiday season and when you feel more relaxed and ready to film please react to Ryze call of power and Odyssey cinemtic I'm sure you will love it 😊
Eu já tava até esperando por esse vídeo :3
19:02
I think the purple color symbolizes power in this context.
This music video is where all the music budget goes
In the game, she has this hability that makes her invisible, also, she has those tails because in the game lore, she use those to...u know, obtain her food that is basically pain. in the original lore she's a demon that feeds form pain and was the result of all the suffering that war produced.
This is the first time I watched your sponsored section, the whole thing! Finally advertisement that wasn't just read from script ✌️
I mean as far as I know Evelynn is a stylish, slick mannered sex obsessed extremely effective killer who WAS fragile but new items can remove this weakness can regen her health and has been reworked at least once to better show it.
She is a jungler in game that has been buffed from items to the point where if she finds you your basically screwed unless you manage to stun and burst her before she touches you or your a super tank even then you still must focus her as the tank or she will delete you AS the tank astonishingly fast (I am being completely serious about the delete part).
In short she's almost the strongest character in the game this video shows some of her story in a textured visual representation.
This whole music video makes me think of one of Hawkeyes lines from Avengers.
"You know what its like to have some one pick at your brain and play? Pull you out and stuff something else inside. Do you know what its like to be unmade?"
Hello, at first that single apartment light can mean that she has just acquired a new prey and she is about to hunt them down, the scene where several buildings light up at the end could be her just hunting them ALL because that is what she does as a demon. Also, the purple reverse slo-mo heart thingy and the laughing are based on a skill called "allure" which she uses to charm and attract her prey against their will
Evelynn is literally just a demon that feeds on humans' suffering. She choose a form to seduce people and kill them as slowly and painfully as possible. This skin is a reimagining of the character where she's actually human, all the K/D/A characters are set in the real world. But she still retains a lot of her original personnality.
In game, she is permanently invisible except when she's in combat. Before exiting stealth she places a delayed curse on you, which seduces and forces you to walk towards her if she manages to hit you after the curse is primed. Her lashers (tails) are her semi-long range weapons which she uses for most of her attacks.
I think the fact that we don't clearly see Eve in the video adds to the "Horror" aspect of her as a usual horror movie concept is that the less you see of the "monster", the scarier it is as it feeds into people's fear of the unknown. The shifting light, reverse visual and slow motion I think try to create an air of un ease. My take of the video is that it's a POV of one if her victims and you're in her lair, or in some sort of "hell". Such a cool video that has a lot to analyze. Also, the Madison Beer comment is Kim Petras erasure! lol Kim as two Halloween themed albums that are very dark themed, so i think she was also a great choice to take part in this song. Love the videos!
It makes sense for her to stay in the shadows. Even at the last second, it's only them teasing her face because of her play style. She unleashes her combo which is very fast the moment the charm takes effect (though not always because the charm can become a slow if the charging is interupted). It's a big burst of damage. If you were a character in the game, you wouldn't even be able to see her full appearance because you'd be dead in a split second.
Basically Evelyn is a demon feeding on agony. She lures her prey and takes form of their interest/desire to make them as happy as possible to then kill them. She does that so it hurts them more, therefore more agony for her to feast on . " The height of their happiness is the depth of their pain" - one of Evelyn's quotes
In short, Evelynn is simply an entity. In the lore of LoL, it arose during a series of battles known as "Runic Wars". Initially, this entity (amorphous) fed on the pain and suffering of those soldiers who fell in battle. Eventually these wars ended, so Evelynn no longer had enough "food" to survive, so she must have found some way to get food. Over the years he learned to adopt different forms, each time better than the previous ones, in order to attract her victims and torture them to death, until she reached what we know today: a beautiful and sensual woman who Without any problem is capable of attracting any man. Once this is done, we all know what the poor man's fate will be.
This is basically her main form. lolstatic-a.akamaihd.net/frontpage/apps/prod/rg-evelynn-reveal/es_ES/225e290f807d02696f99c4ddb7df41a6a7bd20f9/assets/img/share/evelynn-1200x630.jpg
The tails are used to finally execute the victims
Greetings
"I wonder why that light showed up" - Well because her PREY came back home from work. :D
At first I thought it was a membrane-thing, too. But look closely it's just smoke, there is no membrane or skin or glass.
I also like the wobbling of her ankle while she is walking (12:31), well the ground IS uneven.
That AD in the beginning was pretty cool but I think it would've been way better to show it's functionality too? Like maybe it was just me but I had no idea what it was until you said "card holder' XD
As usual, I loved your reaction and analysis! This song is perfect for Evelynn 💖💖💖 My QUEEN slays!
BTW, Chris take all the time you need to rest! Stay safe!!!
This video feels more like a Tech Demo than an actual music video. They go out of their way to incorporate all the hardest to digitally create aspects: Fluids, smoke, fire, very complex materials interacting with light (refraction, reflection, translucency) especially on complex shapes and detailed surfaces, animated textures/materials... all that stuff...
Personally I wouldn't care much for the song, but the visuals are just so great from a technical standpoint. I'd be interested to see an actual video project with this level of CG...
I know you did some of the Star Wars Old Republic cinematics before but not the ones called Return, Deceived, and Hope. I believe that is the correct order to watch them in as well. Star Wars always makes for some badass moments!
15:00 "Snakes usually do visualize evil since like....." Harry Potter? Love ya Chris :)
Actually, Evelynn is a demon who was originally a shadow “thing.” In her story, they showed that she took pleasure in making people falling for her to suffer. In her KDA All Out skin, the lore explain that all the people who works with her disappear and says that she's on a special diet. Btw, you can see on the Kda All out album's Cover the look that she gave to Ahri. I think that's all ?
The tails are for stabbing and slashing. In game they look like coat-tails that sometimes extend upward and forward. They're more like large bladed tentacles than tails really. The claws are for injuring, the tails are for killing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Evelynn's "tails" are referred as 'lashers' by Riot.
You're not wrong, but idk if they are referred to as lashers in her KDA skin. It might change, might not
"why is she so upset? she has friends" lmao 😂😭
this is an allegory of how she works lorewise... once she got you hooked on luring you for a good time the heart pops off and she's already on your mind and then you start going insane since she just starts killing you and feed off your pain since for her the higher on bliss you are before falling into despair the tastier the treat it is.
Also... those "tails" are basically to flail you alive *shrugs* hahaha
That video describes exactly how is the feeling to play against evelynn, most part of the time she is invisible and when she shows her face, is time to die. You never know where is she, but you know she is there !l
Really like your job, keep doing it \o/
Brazilian fan xD
The way he reacts with such a passion is so good. I already love it
