Thanks for specifically pointing out the sound design! For as amazing as the animation is, certain moments like Pantheon planting his spear into the ground or Leona clashing into Pantheon's shield just hit *so much harder* with the bass note backing them up. This whole cinematic was just A+ in so many ways, it's ridiculous. Cheers!
it was absolutely dope but that's not Volibear yall, thats one of his followers called the Ursine, Voli is massive and you can see reference to his actual size in the lightning silhoutte
@@kimedora2862 yea if you look at ornn's splash you can see a human helmet in it, and it dwarfs in comparison to ornn so expect the same size for voli.
As a cinematic designer this is impresive and makes me work on my skils so much more and i wuld say this kind of animation is probobly worth arround 1 - 2 mill $ in production and it takes long ass time to make it well done riot.
@@MrTanno123 thats because riots cinematics have higher budget. almost any major vfx studio can produce these insanely high end animations if u throw enough money at them and give them adequate time (which riot does as most of their stuff that comes out is multiple years in the making, for better or worse)
So, I don't know if you already know the lore so if you do then ignore this. But if you don't then prepare for the lore dump! So, the winter land is called The Freljord and the woman is Sejuani riding her boar called Bristle. Behind her are warriors of The Winter's claw, a traditionalist, warlike tribe that she leads and one of the three dominant tribes of The Freljord alongside the more peaceful Avarosans led by Ashe and the mysterious Frostguard led by The Ice-Witch Lissandra. The twin axe guy is Olaf, a warrior who is fated to die peacefully on a bed which is a huge disgrace for his people which is why desperately seeks battle so that he can prove the prophecy wrong and die gloriously in battle yet never seems able to accomplish this. They were fighting against The Ursine, a savage people of spirit shamans and shapeshifters who worship The Volibear, also called Valhir and The Thousand-Pierced Beast who is The Freljordian demigod of thunder and lighting and who hates civilization with a burning passion, believing that it has made mortals weak. The goat blacksmith is Ornn The Forgelord, The Freljordian demigod of fire and the forge and Volibear's brother. The next place is Mount Targon and the spear guy is Pantheon or Atreus who is a mortal with an unbreakable will, balls of steel and an inexhaustible source of badassery. He was never the strongest warrior or the fastest or the smartest but he never gave up. Whenever he was beaten to the ground he always rose back on his feet. He eventually ascended to the peak of Mount Targon in search of power and was approached by The Aspect of War. The Aspects are basically gods who represent different concepts who need mortal hosts to exist in the mortal world called Runeterra. While Atreus had an iron will he wasn't a legendary warrior and so while The Aspect did take him as a host, it also silenced his mind and took over his body completely which is something Aspects don't usually do. While Atreus was conscious he couldn't control his body and was forced to watch horrible things that The Aspect of War did and he grew to hate gods, believing them to be oppressors to whom no mortal should ever be forced to submit to. Eventually, The Aspect of War was killed by The Darkin Aatrox. However, Atreus survived due to him literally refusing to die and the power of his sheer will powered him, allowing him to retain the powers of Pantheon while still remaining a mortal. Now, Pantheon is determined to defy fate and the divine. The warriors he beat are of The Solari, Targonians who worship the sun even harder than the rest of The Targonians and who hate The Lunari who worship the moon instead. The woman he fought was Leona, the chosen of The Aspect of The Sun. Now, I think those blasts that came from the sky was Aurelion Sol attacking, a celestial dragon who made every star in the universe and who was imprisoned on Runeterra by The Targonians with a magic crown so that he could be used as a weapon against The Void but I'm not certain about that. And lastly the desert area is called Shurima. The two women were Taliyah, an earthbending nomad and Kai'Sa who was trapped in The Void as a little girl and who survived due to bonding with a venom-esque Void Creature. The creatures that attacked them were Xer'Sai, ambush predators from The Void with the largest one being their queen called Rek'Sai. So that was it! Btw, loved your reaction! Keep up the good work!
Things to add: 1) Ornn is against Volibear's hatred of humans and will intervene when the demi-gods cross the line. 2) Taliyah seeing Kai'Sa WILLINGLY throw herself into the pit aka Void is crushing because she fought her entire life to survive in the Void and eventually escape it. 3) At 2:56, Kai'Sa (Void woman) could be using one of two in-game abilities: Supercharge (brief move speed and attack dmg increase) or Killer Instinct (ultimate/dashes to enemy location). 4) Super old lore actually had Pantheon and Leona as friends and comrades to spar with but the Panthenon update changed this. 5) At 2:11, the female image on the mountain in Shumira who has her face destroyed could maybe be a possible teaser for a future champ? This wouldn't be the first time RIOT has put champ teasers in videos. 6) At 6:50, Sejuana (boar riding leader) uses in game ability Glacial Prison (ultimate) to freeze first enemy target in place and create slow field around the target. 7) At 6:42, Panthenon uses in game ability Grand Starfall (ultimate) channels in place and then leaps into the air, landing at a chosen location as a comet. 8) I do think the final Shurima monster is Rek'Sai.
@@Adonna2424 Re: Pantheon and Leona, it's also neat to see that Pantheon doesn't use his spear to fight the Rakkor, since they're basically normal humans, but picked it up immediately to take on Leona. I got the sense they still respect each other, like you're saying it showed in the older lore; two warriors who could be fast friends but they're on opposite sides of things ideology-wise.
Bro, I love your reactions. Fr. I love how u respect the "flow" of the music and pauses at the right moments, without breaking the vibe. Keep on, brtoher! Cheers from Brazil.
broo the fact thatt he describes sej's brittle / status combo ability from the video is so insane loooool ty for react i love watching this trailer and reactions of it.
Great reaction, some very nice details you picked out here! About the brittle effect you mentioned, yes that indeed is a mechanic of Sejuani (the boar riding woman in the cinematic) in the game. They generally include a lot of small details in these cinematics for fans to spot (like f.e. the big blast interfering out of nowhere being an Ultimate of another celestial champion related to that region) but still make sure to not exclude people who aren't familiar with it. Riot has been on the biggest roll they've been on since they were founded these past months and it's making me incredibly excited for their future.
Yoooo i didnt know you react to league content aswell i used to watch ur stuff on Harry Mack a while back. definitely need some more league cinematic reactions!
Hey Dave, was just watching shwabadi STEVIE awards, and you got runner up as favorite reactor of the year with Darnell Bradley winning and scru just a nose below
Great reaction) you got a lot of LoL content to enjoy. You are lucky too see this first time. Waiting new videos from you. Good luck P.s. hello from russia)
You talked about the video game ultimate attacks with the guy and the spear and the chick with the freeze and melee, and yes, those are their Ults(ultimates) they get at level 6. The spartan guy is named Pantheon, the chick with the melee and freeze is Sejuani, the bear that roars is Volibear, the guy who throws the axes is Olaf, the girl that falls into the tunnel is Kai'sa, the lady with the flaming sword is Leona and the blacksmith creature in the beginning and the end is Ornn. If there are any new characters in here, I'm not sure about them as I haven't played League in about 3 years, but I started playing it in season 5-ish, I think? Around the time Kindred came out as a champ.
to me the male singer was the minds of the battel and the female singer was the hart because when i heard the male singer sang i had a feeling of power but when the female singer sang the song i started geting sad like i was feeling the anger coming from the battels
Like or not League of Legends, you GOTTA hand it to them: their animations and songs are legendary. I don't particularly like the game but boy those animations and songs belong in a god damn hall of fame.
Tip when you want to get an specific frame on video: 1.- Pause the video 2.-Use the "." (point key) and the "," (comma key) to advance or go back a frame, they are ubicated at the right of the "M" key. Hope this help you in your future reactions bud :3

Volibear's sound design is so intimidating to me, it's one of my favorites
@@kimedora2862 right, the one that gave me goosebumps the most was when Voli did the lightning thing
it was absolutely dope but that's not Volibear yall, thats one of his followers called the Ursine, Voli is massive and you can see reference to his actual size in the lightning silhoutte
@@TalkToMe33 yeah I was so confused cuz ain't no way Voli is that small
@@kimedora2862 yea if you look at ornn's splash you can see a human helmet in it, and it dwarfs in comparison to ornn so expect the same size for voli.

2-3 years ago, Riot's cinematics still had some uncanny valley in it... now they've gone PAST it to full photo-realism
it isnt by riot exactly, its by unit image
@@Melvin-er7rv isn't that the company that also makes the assassin's creed cinematics?
@@ahsookee Yes you can check out their website for their projects. I guess awaken was also by them
@@Melvin-er7rv true but the end product is inspect by Riot. It’s a lot more realistic than Creed. No offence to Creed of course
@@MrTanno123 thats because riots cinematics have higher budget. almost any major vfx studio can produce these insanely high end animations if u throw enough money at them and give them adequate time (which riot does as most of their stuff that comes out is multiple years in the making, for better or worse)

I did not know the lore but I am leaning heaps thanks to comments like yours. I am very much a newbie lol. Thanks!
@@whatitdodave No problems! It's always nice seeing new people discover the lore of League of legends for the first time.
Things to add:
1) Ornn is against Volibear's hatred of humans and will intervene when the demi-gods cross the line.
2) Taliyah seeing Kai'Sa WILLINGLY throw herself into the pit aka Void is crushing because she fought her entire life to survive in the Void and eventually escape it.

Thx Dave for your reaction❤, being part of the cg company how made this trailer we are super happy to see how much people love it
Man please please do more i'm addicted haha

broo the fact thatt he describes sej's brittle / status combo ability from the video is so insane loooool ty for react i love watching this trailer and reactions of it.
The Ursine priest calling upon the blessings of the Volibear will forever be my favorite
Wait till next Year :D
@@materekpl6032 Arcane 2 has to be Freljord or I will hold my breath and punch the floor till I die >:C
@@materekpl6032 that didn't age well xD
I loved all the appreciation you had for the overall video and all the details to it and how absorbed you seemed
Great reaction, some very nice details you picked out here!

like you said bruh, its MAGNIFICENT✨
Ty so much, finally someone who feel this cinematic as much as i do :)
Wouldn't be surprised if they took a whole year to make this!
A year ... maybe too much but i get it. It would have take a long time for sure.
Yeah, true, but that's a lot of detail to be done right. Definitely not done over a weekend
From what I heard a team of 20-25 people worked 3 months on this, which is absolutely insane to me. They are so good to make it this fast.
I saw a reaction where one of the animators commented on the video and talked about how it took them 3 months, a team of 20 people i believe.
@@pantelismichael8756 I saw the exact same person.
Was too lazy to look up if he was actually an animator for this.
Could be a pretender.
Yoooo i didnt know you react to league content aswell
i used to watch ur stuff on Harry Mack a while back.
definitely need some more league cinematic reactions!
Now this is a reaction video. Love it
Great review Dave! First time on your channel and you just got yourself a subscriber!
Hey thanks! I appreciate you!
not me about to binge watch this guys reactions
Hey Dave, was just watching shwabadi STEVIE awards, and you got runner up as favorite reactor of the year with Darnell Bradley winning and scru just a nose below
Oh thanks for the heads up my guy!
Great reaction) you got a lot of LoL content to enjoy. You are lucky too see this first time. Waiting new videos from you. Good luck
P.s. hello from russia)
Thank you for the quick react!
Obrigado por seu react. O melhor pra mim até agora. From Brazil. ❤️❤️
that´s not war-paint, it´s eye-liner.
and he is rocking it!
So eine herzliche und authentische Reaktion 😍
i love your reactions bro
Zapdose dave what the 🤣🤣🤣
There's pokemon 🤣🤣🤣
Say what you want about League of Legends, the music team has cranked our banger after banger for like the last half decade
muy buena la reacción broo, el video si que llega al corazón, la primera vez que lo vi casi lloro es uno de los mejores videos que sacaron los de lol
You talked about the video game ultimate attacks with the guy and the spear and the chick with the freeze and melee, and yes, those are their Ults(ultimates) they get at level 6. The spartan guy is named Pantheon, the chick with the melee and freeze is Sejuani, the bear that roars is Volibear, the guy who throws the axes is Olaf, the girl that falls into the tunnel is Kai'sa, the lady with the flaming sword is Leona and the blacksmith creature in the beginning and the end is Ornn.

Around the time Kindred came out as a champ.
Actually I take part of this back. That can't be Voli, he's too small. The silhouette in the clouds is probably a hint at the actual Voli.
4.18 Sir. Let me introduce you, Gigachad Pantheon.
to me the male singer was the minds of the battel and the female singer was the hart because when i heard the male singer sang i had a feeling of power but when the female singer sang the song i started geting sad like i was feeling the anger coming from the battels
"that man had a family"
Like or not League of Legends, you GOTTA hand it to them: their animations and songs are legendary. I don't particularly like the game but boy those animations and songs belong in a god damn hall of fame.
glad u watch the call too...i like how u react,i just like it😉😁😄
great vid
5:40 this is the first CG model that could fool me. I am still not 100% sure its CG 2bh.
Tip when you want to get an specific frame on video:
1.- Pause the video
2.-Use the "." (point key) and the "," (comma key) to advance or go back a frame, they are ubicated at the right of the "M" key.
Hope this help you in your future reactions bud :3
thaaat's it!!!! the i see fire of ed sheeran!!!!! thats why its soo familiar!!!
Think voiceplay should cover this.
LFGGGG
Check the new down from 8 years ago their animation was amazing than.
Please react to Udyr’s theme. It’s quite new
The bear is actually not volibear, volibear is WAY bigger, but they are followers of his and voli shares some of his power with them
Please do a Star Walkin' reaction!! :D
Already done.

@What It Do Dave Awesome!! I'm gonna watch it right now!!
Probably people have already told you a in a million comments, but...watch "breath". Also from riot
