    Watchers: stronger than anything and anyone in the world of reality
    Also watchers: Get frozen by a blind elsa

    • @Keemin
      @Keemin 7 years ago +434

      At that point their understanding of how to make physical bodies that could interact with reality was pretty limited, and so they were basically faulty prototypes that didn't quite work the way they were intended.
      That's what I'm guessing.

    • @keatonreinson7619
      @keatonreinson7619 7 years ago +210

      Also the three sisters had strong celestial magic so they were able to freeze the weakened watchers
      maybe..

    • @lamvuhoang1998
      @lamvuhoang1998 7 years ago +105

      I mean at the beginning of the video Necrit mentioned that they were bigger than any rift open in Runeterra at that time so yeah, maybe what Lissandra had frozen were just their avatars or something similar.

    • @Flexy59
      @Flexy59 7 years ago +40

      @lamvuhoang1998 probably, since they were still existing freely in their realm and like opening new rifts around the world (icathia etc), only under the howling abyss were they frozen, so it's easy to assume that the actual watchers themselves havent been frozen just there

      I dunno. There are a lot of parts of the video where Necrit assumes the audience has some knowledge of League (an assumption probably born from the fact that this channel was mostly geared toward League fanslooking for lore ) and he just rushes past some data without going really deeper into stuff like character motivations and importance.
      Like there are parts where he introduces a character and he's like "Of course, it's this character" and I'm like "what do you mean
      OF COURSE IT'S THIS CHARACTER?! I've never heard of this character in my life".
      I came to this video for a complete beginner's guide to LoL But this feels more like an abridged recap of all the current lore uptil now for fans who might've forgoten it. It's an effective, if compressive lore dump of the massive world of Runeterra but not a really good introduction to people who are just getting to this through Arcane. If I was a total noob, I would wonder what all of this had to do with Piltover and Zaun, with Vi & Jinx & Jayce & Caitlyn and al lthe rest of the show...because, would they not be the main characters?

    • @0Annou0

      And to know Arcane is just the tip of the iceberg lore wise, because piltover and zaun are some of the youngest nations on runeterra, it provides you with hope for entertainment in the future.
      I think they really did a solid one on Arcane, unlike certain other game franchise movie adaptations XD
      Excited for Season 2 already.

      Malphite's lore is about he as one of astronauts out of the four, accidentally affected by enormous amount of radiation when he was trapped with rocks underneath the surface of a planet while on a space mission. When they were rescued it so happened that the radiation mutated their genes gaining them superpowers. One of the other astronauts were brand now known in other version as human torch. 😂

      If you haven't heard about it, there's actually one being animated as we speak called "Arcane". It's coming out on 2021, and it'll be based on the league universe. I don't know what exactly it'll be like, but there's a trailer out already. It looks really good so far, and the trailer was released on 2019. Speaking about animated trailers and stuff, the league cinematics are absolutely amazing. Like, incredibly good, and even show lore sometimes(Refer to the Yasuo cinematic, the Warriors 2020 cinematic, etc.). Check them out!

      Well I love reading the stories but I sometimes miss a few so I check on Necrit to make sure I am up to date. Whether you read or listen, it does not really matter. Knowing the lore in League separates the cancers, or those who only play, from the real players.

    Kind of a shame there isn't a bigger game dedicated to the world of Runeterra, and instead all we have is a MOBA game where the story is on the sideline, and we get to see the world mostly in either artpieces, or cinematics.
    World of Runeterra, anyone?

      Not to mention the budget that would require.
      Honestly though, if i had infinite money (disregarding inflation) one of the first things i would want to do is fund the creation of something like that, preferably a tv series with the same animation style and quality of the ryze cinematic.

    This is my main take away/what I learned.
    The Elder Gods/Eldritch Gods/Eldrazzi/Old Gods/Watchers saw a light turn on in their bedroom and now they are fumbling with the light in order to turn the damn thing off and go back to bed.
    This is literally a story and war about turning off the mother fucking light. Never thought that the struggle to turn off the light switch in your bedroom could be so dramatized and exaggerated.

      Also, worth noting, the reason he is blue is because he has been exposed to so much arcane energy from the runes, this also makes him age far slower, as he is really old, dont know the exact age, but id say 500+ years?

    about Aurelion Sol - this is just wrong. They never even asked him for help, never tried to gain his understanding. They simply deceived him. This is a really lame way to do things. I'm pretty sure he would at least consider helping them, if they tried to make him understand.

    • @crispyhottakes
      @crispyhottakes 5 years ago +27

      I think it would be pretty difficult for them to get Ausol on their side, simply because he doesn't care. If Runeterra dies to the Watchers, it doesn't affect him. He can either create another Runeterra or just run away. He'd probably just be annoyed. Even though he's technically enslaved, Ausol is still reaaaaally pissed off about it. If he wanted to shut down the rift in Icathia, he certainly could. He just doesn't to tacitly throw up the middle finger at Targon. So, yeah. They could've played it better, especially considering that one of Swain's soul fragment lore bombs hints that Ausol has siblings.
