I like the Implying part here on tryndamere vs kindred, that every time tryndamere uses his ult(near death) he sees kindred(literal death) instead of his enemies.
@@georgieegames No no wait lol you are not wrong either, the fact that Tryndamere uses his ultimate implies that he's indeed close to death. So this is the main reason why he sees Kindred
The cinematic is about the Past, Future and Present The Past, is of Kayle and Morgana, before they decided to go their separate ways of dealing with justice. It also explains how Aatrox already knows them despite not knowing Demacia itself, simply cuz at the time this happened Demacia wasn't Demacia yet The Future is of Yasuo, finghting one last time before accepting the arrow of the Lamb The Present is of Tryndamere, and his non acceptance of death, both by the Wolf and the Lamb, due to his partial "anger fueled blood magic"
omg I just realised we just saw yasou death :( ah thats sad! :( the kindred moment was just INCREDIBLE holy shit its gonna be in my thoughts a WHILE! they did SUCH an incredible job!
@@mrolajerson0601 It was Kindred's. Wolf's eyes being shown in the darkened woods right behind it's point of origin confirms it, no questions to be asked.
@@georgieegamesi mean i cant express how speedless i am with Kindred in this cinematic. . . . Im suffer rn with by the happiness( to everyone Tryn is the focus in this cinematic but to me Kindred is the real MVP, not only the visual the action …. Its the context behind it the meaning )
I think this cinematic is definitely kindred focused more as kindred does appear in every fight implying that death is always there but the characters are still here (ahhh) @@chiangmei1265
I really love how Kindred act in this cinematic. The lamb looks very cold, calm, and really take her time while the wolf has his claws now!! That scene that the lamb was genuinely curious after Trynd tried to attack her is really good. As a proper death incarnate, they don't understand how can this human fight them off and why. And that wolf eyes in the middle of arrow rains, that's really good.
every scene with kindred in was just incredible, seeing them after knowing who they are just has this incredible impact and seeing how both the lamb and the wolf move complementing each other was insane! I also didn't recognise lambs voice at the beginning until I watched it again while editing omg! SO GOOOOD
I don't think that ashe even saw kindred, only trynd did. When his death was no longer certain because ashe came to back him up she disappeared to him.
the wolf fights the ones who resist death as he likes to fight people who are close to dead while kindred is the one who gives those who are willing to die a swift death (the part where you see the arrow flying towards yasuo as he accepts his death)
BROOOOO kindred in doubt about why trynda is not dying is def my favorite moment in this cinematic. and in any reaction ive seen until now ppl talk about it.
Kayle nad Morgana part is in the past (there's shadow of the Lamb in the fire) Old Yasuo possible future (there's shadow of the Wolf at the end) and Tryndamere and Ashe are present. Tryndamere's undying rage is him literally fighting the Death until there's no more danger around him - Ashe saving him. Wife goals, love her fit here.
Yeah this whole cinematic has to do with Kindred claiming champions. In the past Morg and Kayle kill Aatrox. Right as the flames from Kayle hit you see a shadow before it transitions to Yasuo who is an old man in his last fight. The bright light from the heavens and him closing his eyes is him dying. Much like how he closes his eyes and splits the arrow before activating his wind. The end is Tryn fighting Kindred in his ult before being saved by his wife, Ashe.@@georgieegames
As a Kindred main, I lost my mind with this cinematic. Seeing how Tryndamere struggles to fend off the two has me feeling things. If he always fights Kindred when he uses his ult then this puts a different perspective on his character.
I'd like to think he fights all the embodiments of death while he's in his rage. His body is fighting the real enemies, while his soul is fighting the embodiment of death, in this case, Kindred. Mans just too angry to die.
Death is always present even in the future. 2:00 Kindred in the fire 3:15 Lamb's Arrow and the Wolf(Kindred) 3:18 Trynda Vs. Death, Trynda is about to die but ashe saves him
There's just something about the way Kindred stalks Tryndamere in that cinematic that really resonates with her character. Calm, methodical, patient. She doesn't have to rush, they all come to her in the end.
To me this trailer showcases Past: Kayle and Morgana side by side (Morgana didn't bind herself yet) Present: Tryndamere and Ashe fighting alongside each other Future: elder Yasuo and how he meets his end And Kindred being the timeless personification of death, which is always present
Kindred's voice 0:04 Tryndamere seeing Kindred while he is near death 0:24 Kindred coming for Aatrox when kayle hit him. well technically just waiting in the fire(methaor that deaths is always waiting) we all know Aatrox is alive. 1:40 Wolfs' Eyes on the trees While kindred shoots the last arrow to Yasuo, seemingly accepting death 2:50 Tryndamere fighting of the embodiment of death themselves while using the bloodmagic that was given to him by aatrox. Kindred leaves after Ashe saves him. For now he once again escaped death. Such subtle hints, such good story telling love this cinematic. Past Kayle/Morgana VS Aatrox Present Tryndamere fighting of death Future Yasuo accepting his time Edit: the time stamps here are for the original video not Ms. Georgies' might confuse people sorry bout that.
Words can't express the joy I felt at seeing Kindred in a cinematic; and the main focus of one at that! I genuinely cried from sheer happiness. They're my favourite characters from any piece of media, and seeing my precious floofs finally get the spotlight that they deserve has made my entire year already 😊
Same here. Kindred are far and away my favourite champion in LoL. I always love cultural interpretations and representations of death, and Kindred always had such potential to be incredible. The beginning quote from Lamb set my heart racing before even a single visual appeared on screen, I was under the impression Riot had forgotten that they existed.
Girl, I really loved your Reaction; its priceless; knowing about lore and what implies the characters in there brings a lot of hype. From a Main Kindred, right in the ❤. Love ya.
Oh knowing the lore 100% adds to this cinematic its just STUNNING! I bet you are SO happy to finally see kindred getting their chance to SHINE! Seeing them in a cinematic FINALLY AHHHH it was just the best!!
As someone who has heavily invested in Kayle and Morgana's growth and development since season 3, I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction to seeing them show up. It's almost waxing poetic as they are some of the few people who have witnessed (nearly) all of Valoran/Runeterra's history. But beyond that they are also part of the OG crew and they appear in one of the very first original League cinematics. Their depiction as the "Past" sequence is multifold and a brilliant homage to when the game had much humbler and smaller origins. Riot also does extremely well with storyboarding their cinematics to invoke a lot of thought and symbolism that ties characters together. In the beginning of this scene, we see that Kayle is the one who takes the intiatives (eyes towards the sky and leading her sister, swinging at Aatrox first, etc.) She is also more prone to the more immediate and swift sort of judgement given she clashes with Aatrox than Morgana, who tends to sweep around his attacks and doesn't use her sword nearly as much as her sister does. And the one time she does actually try to strike him, he simply grabs her. Symbolically, it could be interpreted as Morgana's reluctance to direct, physical clashes as her judgement style (her belief that each person is capable of redemption.) But when Aatrox lands with his army marching behind him, Morgana is the one who actually takes the initiative first. She knows that there's no longer any room for mercy, and after casting aside her armaments she uses her celestial magics to bind him. Kayle looks up and when her vision focuses on Morgana, the sun is wreathing her sister like an angel despite her differences to what is deemed an "angel. It signifies that Morgana's intentions are the same as Kayle's (they both want to protect their home, no matter the cost.) Even if this was the spark that caused their separation and Kayle's disdain for Morgana's style of justice, between their synchronized flights and the combination of Morgana chaining Aatrox down and Kayle's divine inferno consuming him, they are two sides to the same coin. It took both of them to stop him (also due to their lack of being full fledged aspects) so neither could claim victory alone. It should also be noted during this scene, the music depicts the urgency of their encounter against Aatrox, who is aptly named "the World Ender." Especially the bone-chilling drop when Morgana finally embraces her seemingly forsaken gifts.
So Kindred are the being that anyone in Runeterra near dead would meet. Tryndamere acutally using his undying rage against enemies he nearly dead so only he saw Kindred, their job is to decide his fate but he reject it and fight to last breath, thanks to Ashe came help him, his life no longer at risk so Kindred have nothing to do here so they dissapeared
The three stories are all tied to Kindred. They are like the embodiment of death in league, Lamb represents the acceptance of death and Wolf represents the violent struggle against it. The song is Kindred reminding you that they are still there, death is never far away. (and they will always be there, in the past, the present and the future as you can see is also a theme in this video) In the scene with Kayle and Morgana fighting Aatrox you can see Kindred in the fire at the end of the scene. (They are there for the army behind Aatrox close to the end, since we know that the three main characters are still alive since this is an event from the past) The scene with Yasuo (in a future vision) You can in the tree line see Wolf's eyes, but since Yasuo accepted his death Lamb's arrow is the one that took him out. And lastly Tryndamere at the end defies both Wolf and Lamb, fighting against death, with Lamb then lowering her bow at the end as he is SAVED by Ashe. And also see how it implied that he's the only one seeing wolf and lamb as this fight happens since he is on the brink of death, litterally staring death into it's eyes, and he's acctually in another fight against other humans that you can see Ashe shoot at the end to save him, and you see Kindred dissapear since he is no longer "supposed to die". (It's basically tryndameres ultimate in game thats shown here, but from his perspective.)
An interesting detail is after Tryndamere's fight is over he clearly has claw marks on his armor from wolf so its more than just a symbolic thing in which he see's lamb and wolf in place of the soldiers he was fighting. It's possible both things are actually happening just in different realms so to speak. When he's near death he gets partially pulled into Kindred's domain and he's technically fighting both lamb and wolf while still subconsciously defending against the soldiers. This also explains why the scene is so dark when Kindred appears and why the light returns once he's out of danger.
georgie i loved youre reaction, you are kinda new to the universe. and still recognized everybody right away. and the way you got hyped about every detail i love it.
This whole Cinematic is based around Kindred (Lamb and Wolf). In the World of Runeterra, Kindred is essentially the grim reaper. She collects those in death. there are signs of Kindred in all 3 scenes. the Scenes are broken up into Past, Future, and Present. In the Past, Two Demi-Angels, Kayle (blonde) and Morgana (Brunette) Defended and dealt justice in a Land that would eventually become known as Demacia. The Scene Depicts an area under siege by the Darkin Aatroxx (the demon). Darkin were originally ascendant beings but they were driven mad by the void in a war long ago. Kayle and Morgana are sisters, their Mother is an angel, and they both hold 1 half of their mother's sword. They defeat Aatrox. In the lore, Kayle is stoic and brings justice in a very cold and unemotional way, while Morgana is more affected by the plight of humans and reasons that judgement and justice can be tempered. In the scene Morgana drops her mothers weapon and taps into darker powers to fight Aatrox, you can see the disdain Kayle has for Morgana in the quick glance she gives her, even as she takes up both halves of her mothers sword and causes the firestorm. if you look closely, there is an afterimage in the fire that is Kindred. Then you go to the Future, in Ionia, where we are greeted by an Old man version of Yasuo, the Wind swordsman. After he uses his whirlwind, you see many arrows in the sky coming for Yasuo, including a bright one, which appears to hit him, this is the Arrow of Kindred, claiming Yasuo. if you look in the sky, you can also see the apparent shape of a wolfs head. in the last scene, which would be considered the Present, in Frejord, you see Tryndamere, who has the power to avoid death by tapping into his rage via blood magic. He is married to Ashe, a Frostborn Tribal Leader. In the scene, Trendamere is fighting death (literally) by fighting against Kindred (the Lamb and the Wolf). Tryndamere power in game is literally to become un-killable for a short period of time. As the fight goes on, Kindred lets her bow go because Ashe has arrived, and saves Tryndamere. It's not his time to die.
7:05 it was back when demacia was still young, and both morgana and kayle are like their protector. I believe this was mentioned in the mageseeker game 8:10 -some might think this was yasuo, since this character does use wind technique, but I think this is more likely a random wind technique user before yasuo, since at the end of his scene (--2:52-- raining arrow part), there's a kindred arrow, signifying the swordsman's death- Edit: nvm me being a dumbass, doesn't notice his scar on the nose Edit 2: 1hour after edit 1, i edited again, since i did note that i was wrong, but still get messages. guys forgive me for this one mistake pls, and i leave it here so people can laugh at this silly idiocy of mine
its signifying past(morgana,kayle),Present (trynda,ashe) and future(old man yasuo) and how in each time period,always death(kindred) is STILL HERE,hence the name of the song.
@@NGBH honestly, i would agree about the past, present, future if the cinematic does go in that order. but it goes in the order of kayle/morgana, the swordsman, then tryn/ashe, suggesting that the swordsman's time comes before tryn/ashe
I'm pretty sure it is Yasuo, just in future, because when he loses his hat and looks up you can see he has that scar on his nose which he got in the battle with Yone
As soon as the cinematic started and i heard " Tomorrow is a hope" i was like NEVER A PROMISE and i got so hyped, seeing that kindred fight gave me goosebumps, at the end you can see bodies around trynda as if he was fighting those but he only saw kindred near his death, and lamb was about to finish him off with an arrow as the two men behind him were about to kill him but when ashe's arrows came she lowered her bow, it's SO COOL
As someone who has PASSIONATELY played Kayle and Kindred since 2013, this was beyond any hopes I had for this year's cinematic. I really love seeing your fervent reaction to this.
We really are still here after all these years playing this game Whatever you think of League, it really is something special, Riot really knows how to drop a banger when it matters
I love how Tryndamere's fight against Kindred is represented. While in his ultimate, he is literally fighting off death. He should die here, and They know it. The battle around him fades away, and in place of his enemies he sees the Kindred. Every time he clashes with Wolf he is shrugging off blows from his enemies, and he feels the pain through The Wolf's teeth. Every time he swats away Lamb's arrow is him denying a moment where he could just lie down and pass gently, and he sees the choice in the Lamb's arrow. When Ashe's arrows come over Kindred's shoulders to save Tryndamere from the two enemies about to strike him, the time where he would die has passed, and Kindred vanishes. Because it is no longer his time. His power isn't "Not Dying". He is as mortal as anyone else. His power is awareness of death. He can See them. He can Fight them. Its poetic.
The old man is Yasuo, since Yasuo got the Scar accros his nose which he got during his battle with Yone (His Brother) so yeah thats Yasuo but Old one and he uses all Yasuo's Abilities
Always nice to see League content from you, lovely reaction as always ❤ And the old man threw me for a loop too! The only people it could possibly be is future Yasuo or Yasuo’s master Souma before Riven accidentally killed him. Riot has never explored lore so far in advance of a characters current state, which makes me think it could be Souma. But the only Ionian conflict I can think of that resembles that scene would be the invasion of Ionia by Noxus, which none of the attackers seem to be. Some of their masks actually resemble the Oni that frequent Ionia, implying this is a future conflict involving Ionian cults. Very interesting regardless!
As a fan of Kindred, this is my exact reaction to this cinematic! You're so entertaining btw 😂 And not just entertaining, but you're really into the lore, and I love you so much for it! I'm so hyped for what riot is going to bring out this year, I believe they're giving us a glimpse/taste to the MMO
Yup, absolutely putting it in my headcanon that Tryndamere is literally fighting Kindred every single time he uses Undying Rage. Also putting it in the headcanon that Kindred actually enjoy this, as Wolf treats Tryndamere as a practice buddy and Lamb just enjoys studying this anomaly in their work and trying to understand "why?". Also reason #73 to dislike Kayle - that look of absolute contempt in 1:52
The song and animation are soo good. I love how Tryndamere starts fighting against Kindred long enough for Ashe to come save him from death, it's a really good way to convey roughly how his ult works. I think that the old guy is suppose to be Yasuo's master during the Invasion of Ionia.
Its SO good dude! I am listening to the song on repeat RN XD I love it SO much! YESSS that tryndamere vs kindred fight was INCREDIBLE! I am so happy they finally gave kindred the spotlight! and that is a good theory, I have heard as the description says past, present, future it may be yasou when he is older fighting one last time...:(
Full story : This is happening in the past. There’s a few ways to tell. First the description of the video gives it away as it’s kindred talking. Second that’s an older version of Demacia, you can tell because it’s still being barricaded with wood and stuff. This is before Kayle and morgana have a falling out. Speaking of which morgana still has her sword in this. Kayle in current lore has both of her mother’s swords, where as in this cinematic each of the sisters were given 1. They’re fighting a weaker older version of Aatrox, likely he just doesent have a strong enough host. The Yasuo cinematic is a possible future where Ionia gets invaded again. The arrow he splits in half pays off fully later when he lets the kindred arrow hit him. He could have split it in half but he’s accepting death here as an old man. I think Yasuo might be the first champion to have a confirmed death. Permanent death. Gone forever. The tryndamere part is happening in the present. Who knows what EXACTLY is happening though freljordians always fight eachother. Because kindred is death, while he IS technically fighting kindred, he’s also fighting off the dudes attacking him. He’s close to death so he sees kindred instead but tryndamere R too op so he manages to fend kindred off until Ashe comes to rescue him, and because Ashe is rescuing him he’s not dying anymore so kindred backs off. Likely not the first or last time Tryndamere will see kindred either. I think the cinematic is hinting that every time he uses his Darkin blood magic to stay alive he’s always in a fight against death
THIS WHOLE CINEMATIC WAS SO AMAZING TO WATCH AND SEEING KINDRED MADE ME FREAK OUT SO SO MUCH LIKE SEEING KAYLE AND MORGANA FIGHT AATROX MADE ME FRAK OUT ALREADY LIKE OMG
OH I WAS WAITING FOR THAT COUNTDOWN XD I AM SO HAPPY KINDRED WAS IN IT! JUST FINALLYYY! they have like one of the best lore/character design in league im so happy to see them in a cinematic FINALLY@@sawthesunrise
Riot can easily make the greatest movie ever made in history, they just don't want to. I'm pretty sure the "weird" part with Tryndamere and Kindred is just that he's between life and death in the undying rage. In his head he's fighting Kindred, that represents death, but in reality he's just lost in his rage, fighting those soldiers who are there to finish him off, Kindred is literally death, when Ashe shows up Kindred just knows it's not his time and it all becomes clear, you can see all the dead soldiers around him.
Kayle, Morgana and Attrox is Past Event also If you look at kayle when morg ult you can see the ick and disgust on her face, little details but cheff kiss, Yasuo is in Future Event where he accept death which you can see the arrow and the sillohoutte of wolf, the Tryndamere is in Present Event where Ashe save him from death which is Kindred.
This is the lore of the cinematic: (The past) In the first scene, we see Kayle and Morgana fighting side by side, both with their powers. When both of them are pushed to their limits by Aatrox, Morgana gives away her powers as the Aspect of Justice and binds Aatrox, even if for a moment. Then we can see Kayle taking Morgana's powers, representing her taking Morgana's sword, and looking at her sister with disgust. When Morgana falls to the ground, Kayle ascends and kills the host of Aatrox. We can see Lamb in the flames, showing his death. (Aatrox does not really die, but his host does.) (The future) In the second scene, we see bandits raiding Ionian village and Yasuo as an old man standing his ground. Each time he uses his power, the bonds on his arm unravel. And at the end, when arrows rain right at him, we can see his acceptance of death and Kindred's arrow ending his life. We can also see Wolf's eyes in the shadows right before Lamb's arrow falls. (The present) In the last scene, we see Tryndamere fighting against a group of enemies and dying. It is represented as him fighting Kindred (death), with both Wolf and Lamb refusing to die; his red eyes represent his "undying rage." We can see that Lamb is showing a sign of confusion as to why this man doesn't give up. In the final scene, we can see Lamb lowering her bow when Ashe (Tryn's wife) saves him from his last enemies just in the moment he is about to die. Seeing that this is not the time to claim Tryndamere, Kindred disappears. This cinematic represents that death is timeless, showing one scene from the past, one from the present, and one from the future. It also shows both aspects of Kindred. When Aatrox's host dies, we see Lamb idle while Wolf delivers the final blow. Wolf hunts down those who resist death. When Yasuo dies, Wolf waits, as Lamb's arrow is the final moment. Lamb brings peaceful death to those who accept it. Tryndamere fights both Wolf and Lamb, defying natural order using his powers; in the end, he successfully avoids death
Explaining what happened in this cinematic to people that don't know the lore and character's names. This cinematic is about time and death. The cinematic have 3 moments: The angel vs demon scene happens in the past. The old samurai scene happens in the future and the barbarian fighting at snow happens in the present. The archer spirit and its wolves that you see in the snow scene are Kindred, the most powerful being in League of Legends. It is basically the Grim Reaper of this universe that only shows up when the time has come to someone. Althought you can clearly see them (Kindred is referred to in the plural) in the last part of the cinematic, they also appears when Kayle (the blonde angel) attacks Aatrox (the demon) while Morgana (her twin sister, the brunnete angel) is exausted on the ground, in form a silouete in the flames. In the future part, the Kindred also show up as Yasuo (the old samurai) closes his eyes accepting death before being hit by a rain of arrows. You can see the white spirit arrow from Kindred going straight to him. In the present moment is where the cherry on the cake is. The barbarian with a giant sword is Tryndamere and his ultimate skill is the ability to resist death for a few seconds. In game, he basically continues taking damage, but never drops bellow 1hp while the ult is active. You see him fighting the Kindred wolves, but it is just his vision. He is actually fighting this horde of human warriors surrounding him, taking hit and resisting death (resisting Kindred) as he tries his last standing. Kindred aim their arrow to him but stop from shooting when the two arrows from Ashe (the white haired archer queen) saves him from the last 2 enemies behind him. Kindred lost their purpose to catch Tryndamere as they saw that his time hasn't come yet. I love the detail of Kindred tilting the head looking at Tryndamere after dodging his attack, intrigued because the barbarian is fighting the death itself and this fact took the attention of this powerful godlike being. Trully a nice touch. This video is a master piece.
The Morgana and Kayle bit was when they're still fighting together. Hence why Morgana still has armor and the other half of their mother's sword. But when Morgana embraced her magical powers. Kayle then picks up the sword.
The part with Tryndamere is him facing death. That last moment when Kindred backs off is cuz he's being saved by Ashe so his life was no longer in danger.
ALSO!!!! Vandiril made videos on new in-game quest that can happen. Kayle and Morgana VS Aatrox, and Kindred VS Tryndamere- each side is to kill the other, with some specifications, and the winner gets a buff to an ability, with exanded visual effects, too! I love shite like that so much!
Last fight scene was so amazing. It could mean so many things, that Tryndamere sees Kindred every time he uses his immortality. That its his first time seeing Kindred and we saw Kindred have a confused exppresion either from him refusing to die or maybe they are suprised by his abillity. Or maybe tryndamere is fighting his enemies but he only sees Kindred. So many ways too see it And i dont know if this was intended but when old Yasuo was about to "die" from the arrow it was glowing, maybe that was also Kindreds arrow because Kindred uses the bow and arrow on those who accept their death and Yasuo did just that. And it would make sense since Kindred is in literally the next scene. Awsome cinematic
INCREDIBLE! He did look a bit confused so I wonder if that is the first time kindred has approached him or attacked maybe! The fight was SO GOOD! I loved seeing how kindred works and how vicious the wolf was compared to the eerieness of the lamb! and yes the yasou death :( I think he probably did die at the end of that which is just SO SAD! :(
Lol I love watching your reactions. I feel like you're one creator that actually took the time to learn bits and pieces of lore, so your reactions are all the more genuine.
One detail I think is interesting that I don't think anyone else really noticed on their first viewing, is that look Kayle gives to Morgana at the end of their scene. It's disdain and disgust. She capitalizes on the opportunity, of course, but this is either the inciting incident for their eventual falling out or another contributor to it. Morgana did what she had to do to save herself, her sister, and what would eventually become Demacia, but Kayle sees it as a betrayal of their ideals. It's interesting just how much subtext can be in a scene if you're familiar with the lore.
Hey georgieegames :D since I mainly play Kayle myself (Morgana too, but you know... Kayle FTW :) ) I wanted to thank you for also showing this level of dedication and enthusiasm for, especially Kayle, but also Morgana :) What you saw in the cinematic was, due to Riot Games current lore policy that EVERYTHING is canon, a very story driven event. This may have been the moment where the two Sisters of Justice split, forced to use a new level of their power for the first time as Aatrox threatened to overpower them. You can see how "normal" they look at the beginning. Compared to the basic skin, they are young, even youthful, and their facial features are a little less defined than we've seen in previous artwork - this is particularly noticeable in Kayle's face. They wear Demacian helmets and their armor is also in the Demacian style. Both are equipped with their mother's sword and fight "conventionally" against Aatrox. However, when Morgana notices Kayle smashing into the wall and the gate (note Morgana's look towards Kayle), she decides to give in to this "greater power of the Aspect" - the Shadow. If you listen closely, you can hear Morgana's screams of exertion and exhaustion and despair under the music as she has Aatrox bound. Kayle, as the more "radical" of the two sisters, has only contempt for Morgana's actions after she gets back on her feet, but of course takes the opportunity to deal the decisive blow to Aatrox by doing the same as her sister, as Kayle also "rises" by giving in to the light part of the aspect and by taking Morgana's sword. It may very well be that on this already epic battlefield, the next, bigger battle took place only a short time later - this time between the two sisters, which shook Demacia for a long time and left its mark forever. Thank you for your content and keep up the good work :) PS: The old man after that is Yasuo in the future, since apparently all three time levels, past (Kayle Morgana), present (Trynda Ashe Kindred) and future (Yasuo - after a Redemption story?! :O ) are dealt with here.
Ya that last tryndamere scene is something only ppl who follow lore will get. The fight with Kindred is basically Tryn fighting off death which is a call to his ability that prevents him from dying. and ashe saving him makes Kindred lower her bow and go away.
The old man is Yasuo in the future. You can tell by the scar in the upper part of the nose (and he is one of the only people alive that knows the wind technique), the scar that yone gave him in their battle to death. You can see this in "Kin of the stained blade" cinematic. The why Yasuo is old? no clue really, I think they are teasing stuff in the future or something.
to explain the kindred part, kindred is death every time you encounter death she appears so when tryndamer was about to die against all those fighters he saw kindred and the fight turnne like he is fighting kindred alone but in fact he was fighting the frelyordians AND kindred at the same time because he was in an undeying rage ( a spell where he just can not die )
Fun Facts is the final battle where the strong man faced a wolf and Lamb Archer. It means he is facing death. He is fighting for his life, remember at the beginning he was on the snowbed surrounded by Barbarians. Yeah, he is fighting them while also fighting death. Tyrndamere is at death's door. And when the moment the Frost Archer saves him. Death, though, it's not his time yet.
For Kayle and Morgana vs Aatrox, this was very long ago in the past when Kayle hadn't abandoned Demacia yet. They were losing against Aatrox until Morgana used her dark magic instead of their mother's (Aspect of Justice) power. The sword both of them had were half of their mother's sword. Kayle thinks that her doing this was a mistake as she would rather both of them lose than for Morgana to do what she did. Even though both of of them are about justice, Kayle is about justice no matter how small the crime is whereas Morgana is about forgiving justice, where even a murderer has a chance for redemption. For the one with the old guy, that is Yasuo many year in the future. He is protecting a village and when he is about to die, he sees Lamb's arrow and accepts it. For the one with Kindred and Tryndamere, we can see how Tryndamere's ult actually work. He fights Lamb and Wolf until he isn't in danger anymore.
For context, Tryndamere was about to die at the hands of the, what's probably members of the Winter's Claw, and therefore the appearance of kindred. While long-haired-daddy-angry-man faught the wolf and the lamb, in reality he was fending off the other warriors and was saved by Ashe at the last moment.
@georgieegames The Yasuo part 😭😭😭, good thing this was only a vision sent by kindred, like I don't want Yasuo to die against just some bandits, also key detail Yasuo tornado's the last guy, physically implying that he could ult and teleport away from the arrows, Riot technically left the vison open ended cuz du, visions are not 100%. I want Yasuo's Death to be peaceful, cuz he's been through enough hasn't he. But if Riot wants to have his death by a blade, I wanted it to be like a heroic death, kinda like sacrificing himself to defeat a big boss or something like that but man I want Yasuo to have peace... man the thing he never had.
read the video description!! it says that the 3 scenes show the past present and possible future. The past is Kayle and Morgana fighting aatrox during the founding of Demacia, the present is tryndamire, and the possible future is yasuo's death by lamb
The second scene is old Yasuo - you can tell by the scar on his face. This is likely a teaser for the MMO / lore progression as the cinematic shows "Past, Present and possible Futures"
So as a note of why kayle and morgana are together, its in the past before morgana binds her wings (thus her flying XD). These are all point where champs escape kindred (or maybe not with old yas). it jumps about the timeline a bit, morg and kayle in the past, yas in the future, and trynd in the present. At least that's my understand, could totally be wrong XD
From what people have said that seems to be the general understanding which makes sense, especially kayles LOOK at morgana if this was BEFORE the wing binding omg its just STUNNING
Kindred only appears subconsciously, the surrounding soldiers are the cause of death. Death is predetermined, those who resist fate will have to confront Kindred. Tryndamere was unable to defeat the defeated soldiers, which meant he could not escape the Sheep and the Wolf. But he tried to fight to change his fate, holding out long enough for Ashe to come to his rescue. In the future, Yasuo already exists, protect what needs to be protected, and have forgiven yourself for past mistakes. He passed away peacefully after receiving Kindred's silver arrow.
Motifs of Kindred is in every battle. All the characters are dealing with death, Aatrox cannot die so Kindred is in the disintegration/smoke transition (the lamb stance she does), Yasuo accepts his death so out of the hail of arrows you see Kindred's light arrow and the forest shadows are shaped like her wolf, and then Trynamere's fight with death but she backs off since he is not ready for death.
This cinematic is a representation of the past present and future. At the very beginning we see Tryndamere laying on the ground and he sees a faint glimpse of kindred (this will be important later). Then the first battle scene is in the past in ancient Demacia (we are talking over 1000 years ago) and we see the two sisters Kayle and Morgana who together both make the aspect of justice, basically they are both the god of justice, Morgana judges and Kayle punishes. We see Kayle and Morgana fighting Aatrox who is a darkin (darkin is a corrupted god warrior and Aatrox is the only cannonical person to kill an aspect being the aspect of war pantheon). Past them fighting I am unsure of why they are fighting each other I would assume it is part of the Darkin War which started due to the emperor of Shurima Azir dying and all the God warriors went corrupt and turned into the Darkin and they all vied for power with the two strongest being Aatrox and Xolaani. Next we see the future, a village in Ionia is being attacked by what I assume to be the Shadow order and the old man who steps up is a much older Yasuo (he was in the Awaken cinematic for reference). Thus knowing its a older Yasuo and this being in the future there is a lot of unknowns and there is more questions than answers. Finally we are in the present and we return to Tryndamere, the fact that he saw a glimpse of Kindred at the start of the cinematic its no surprise he is fighting them becasue Kindred is LoL's version of death, a lamb (the white on with a bow) for a painless death for those who embrace death and a wolf (the large black one) for a painful death to those who choose to run or fight. Since Tryndamere is fighting Kindred we know he is close to death at this point, when his eyes go red he enters "undying rage" basically he becomes so angry he cannot die. Plot twist Tryndamere is seeing Kindred and thinking he is fighting Kindred when in fact he was figthing the people who were surrounding him. Then we see 2 blue arrows fly past Kindred and we see Ashe emerge and Kindred disappear meaning Ashe saved Tryndamere from death, also side note Ashe is Tryndamere's wife. I do apologize for the long comment but there is a lot happening in the cinematic and I thought to add context incase something was confusing, I hope this helps and if you have more question I'm willing to try and answer them for you.
I remember watching a lot of your videos when you were first getting into league and slowly went away as you transitioned into genshin but damn I do love how excited you are at recognizing the characters
thank youu! I will definitely be creating more league content this year leading up to Arcane season 2 as I am SO hyped for that! (genshin may still be around too haha) thanks for the support its appeciated! :)
What I love most about this cinematic is that it canonizes Kindred's method, and the fact that every time Tryn is pushed to the edge of death and forced to use Unrelenting Rage what he sees is Kindred. Which also shows that this is far from the first time he has fought Kindred.
Well it was already canon as far as I know but the cinematic actually raises a lot more questions about Kindred and how they operate. It also kinda goes against the idea of Trynd having to fight them every time he ults. I agree its a cool idea and it makes total sense, but Lamb is clearly confused fighting him essentially wondering why he isn't dying. She also steps in despite him resisting which means he's wolf's mark not hers which further shows her confusion and gives the impression that this is their first encounter though timeline wise it could be and as such maybe he will encounter them every time after this. Then there's also this idea of it being symbolic and he's only seeing Kindred in place of the soldier's who are going to defeat him once his rage runs out, yet at the same time he has visible claw marks on his armor by the end of the fight, so this also suggests that Kindred doesn't exist in the material world but does in some other realm and when you're close to death you don't just see them you're partially pulled into their domain. So both fights are happening, he's fighting Wolf, Lamb and still subconsciously fighting the soldiers in the real world. When Ash eliminates the danger in the real world Kindred release him from their realm and that also explains why it was so dark when he was fighting them and why it returns to normal once he's been saved.
FYI Kindred appears after every fight in this cinematic. After Aatrox's death in the flames, after Yasuo's death in the darkness. And even in the snow during the initial scene.
Good job on the Tryn vs death pickup, most of the other people doing a reaction video were clueless. Tryn is dying, he sees Kindred (the Grimm reaper of the lore, life and death) there to collect his mark/soul. In his last breath, he remembers the love of his life, Ashe. He stands back up, refusing to die. It's a fight he can't win, but he just won't bend the knee. Surprising Kindred in the process. Something changes, this man is longer about to die, Kindred lowers her weapon. Ashe's arrows kill the upcoming deathblow, saving her lover's life. Hawk shot.
Its really cool how u can see Kindred in all the fight. In the past they come for Aatrox but he just couldn't die even he wish to. In the present they come for Tryn but he refused to die and fight back. In the future they come for Yasuo and he accepted it
Kayle only getting her power by taking Morgana's half of the sword was a nice touch. We see Kindred in the transition of Aatrox, only watching in the flames of the past because obviously he cannot die. We see Yasuo in the future using his wind once more after breaking his oath to not do so, accepting his death peacefully at the tip of Lamb's arrow. Then we see Tryndamere fighting off Death long enough to be saved from the soldiers that would have caused his demise.
I've stopped playing league since the end of 2022 (been playing since open beta). BUT finally seeing some Tryndamere/Ashe interactions with this amount of budget fills my heart with joy, I've always loved their lore, politics turned into love trope. And we FINALLY have some Kindred as well, great surprise. Lastly, that elder is probably Souma, Yasuo's master (they both share the same scar). But it's hard to confirm 100%, since Riot tends to retcon a lot of their lore moving foward.
I need to DELVE into their lore properly as I havent had the chance yet but I know they were engaged/married and seeing them interact in this cinematic just made my heart so happy it was adorable! KINDRED YES FINALLY! Ohhh okay, I think both of the theories whether it being about souma or an older yasuo would make sense! it was still amazing regardless! Thats the thing I love about league, even if you dont play the game, the lore is still SO good it just brings you back in xD
probably playing on kindred always being there,hence we see kayle and morg in past,trynd and ashe in present,and probably this is old man yasuo in the future.
@@NGBH oh, that's a nice take, i didn't catch that. It makes sense, since you can see Kindred's shadow on the flames of Morg/Kayle fight, and a bright arrow is what finishes Yasuo.
@@futanahriadventures yep..and the songs name references kindred,though people would think it references them fighting back. It references that kindred no matter who it is,is "still here".
kindred shoots his arrow at (yes) Old man Yasuo. the morganna kayle duo was pre them splitting. the moment Morganna uses her dark magic the look of hatred in Kayles eyes shows there future very well. also if you look kayle looks like QTcinderella
This cinematic is about past, present, future and death The Past is about Kayle and Morgana where they were fighting side by side against Aatrox, where Morgana didnt turn evil yet by rejecting her celestial heritage. AATROX IS THE ONE WHO BRINGS DEATH The Present is Tryndamere, Ashe and Kindred. First, the Ashe is the wife of Tryndamere, she comes to save him from death as she shoots those two guys, so Trynd is not in danger anymore, Kindred vanishes. Also Trynd is maybe the only one who can fight Kindred, because of his ult Undying Rage, he simply cannot die so Kindred cant kill him, thats why Kindred seems kinda confused as you look at the close up of the lamb when she backed away after Trynd broke her bow. Also i like how Trynds eyes went back to normal when he saw Ashe, the only thing that can comfort him is his wife, Ashe. KINDRED IS DEATH REAPER, SHE IS DEATH The Future is about Yasuo, when hes in his years, but i cant tell what is happening here, its kinda cofusing for me haha. YASUO IS THE ONE WHO EMBRACED DEATH This is clearly the best cinematic that RIOT has ever made for me and i shed a tear when Trynd, Ashe and Kindred came to the scene
The Cinematic takes place in 3 different time periods, and is basically Kindred coming to take the dying/hunting through time. The Past: Kayle & Morgana fighting Aatrox in a very VERY old Damacia. You can tell because the gate is still made of regular wood and stone, and the surrounding forests aren't Petricite yet. And also obviously Morgana still has her wings unbound, so this is before the she and Kayle had their full falling out. At the end of their scene, you can see Lamb's silhouette in the flames when Kayle strikes Aatrox down. However, Kindred wasn't able to claim Aatrox, because like many of the Darkin, his soul is actually in the sword and not in the body they killed. The Future: With an old Yasuo (yes that is an old Yasuo) still protecting people and still being an absolute and total gigachad. At the end it's obviously Lamb's Arrow sailing towards him as he accepts his death. And you can also see at the end Wolf's eyes and outline in the darkness in the background waiting to see if Yasuo actually decided to fight his death or not. The Present: With Tryndamere almost dying in his fight against another clan in the Freljord. He is battling against Lamb & Wolf because he is in a berserker rage (his Ult) and is literally too enraged to die. And it's crazy when you realize the fight with Lamb & Wolf is just spiritual/in his mind. He was REALLY getting up and fighting/killing all of the enemies that took him down at the start of the cinematic. Because during the fight, you can see that the snow is floating still in midair and not actually falling. And once he "wakes up" from the berserker rage, all of the enemies that were closing in on him are now dead at his feet and there are more bodies than the 1-2 at the beginning+the two Ashe took out at the end. And near the end of the fight, Lamb eventually lowers her bow because Ashe arrives to save him, so Kindred realizes it's not yet his time to die. Just magnificent.
I interpreted diferently, Aatrox fight is in the past, but he is alive in the present (if i remember correctly) thats why there is only kindreds shadow(remember Kindred in this universe is death himself) in the fire, Yasuo fight in the posible future he closes his eyes two times, first when he is focusing to break the arrow and at the end when the rain of arrows fall (and the kindred white arrow and the wolf slowly appearing) but for me , he was focusing to fight and survive and well the tryndamere part its like everyone else knows.
Late late response but remember that Aatrox himself is the sword, the body is a human that he has essentially possessed and dominated. When his host body died the original person did as well. The sword will live on.
I knew if I wanted a good reaction, I need to come here, because this cinematic whilst amazing on it's own, becomes much, much better if you know even the tiniest bit of lore and you are a fellow casual League Lore enjoyer. Some ppl are even slightly dissapointed by this, cause they are 101% clueless and don't care about lore and are just like "Hur, dur, where my pure action at" Now to list my favorite parts about the cinematic: First part- Kayle and the bitch-ass self-righteous face she makes when she looks down at Morg before striking Aatrox just summarizes who she is perfectly for even non-lore ppl, the *self-righteous bitch* part being the important part :D (Hell I even only know about her being that from watching my boi Necrit, who, despite me not actually reading lore and being a very casual lore enjoyer, is someone I have to watch as he is a fellow compatriot ) Second part- as even the description of the vid says, is a "possible" future, so not 100% set in stone. Old man Yas tho, unexpected, but sick and even with Yasuo dying like that being slightly dissapointing or rather sad, it was still a badass showing and then as he saw the wolf and accepted the arrow and his death, that was just peak. A lot of emotions like regret and not wanting to do any of it were also conveyed very well through the start of his part... Well, what else can I add besides 2 things, the GOAT Liam O'Brian and the characters he voices just being the best and me having a soft spot for them :D Illidan and Yas being the main GOATs (and also just realized beiign quite similar with their backstory) and the fact that PBE ALREADY got a a data download and a preview... Old Man Yasuo skin is coming and I love it (it's called Foreseen if you wanna check it out) ¨ Third part- Trynda out-badassing Yasuo with his Undying Rage. So epic, literally fighting for his life and I felt that shit in my veins, fighting a struggle he cannot win and yet rage and willpower fueled by a bit of Blood Magic (ty Aatrox, you prick LMAO) pushed him far enough for Ashe to get there in time to save him so Kindred put her bow down and left cause what was hysterically close to death and was supposed to truly be his last moments got saved by Ashe turned into a happy end. Trynda rose very sharply in my badass ranks thanks to this. Even Kindred with the slight headtilts and wonder in those expressions was just amazing. Also I think the portrayal overall was great, in the way that even tho she will eventually get even someone like Aurelion Sol who can destroy and create starts in a matter of seconds, her power is just different and isn't a raw, easily graspable thing so even Tryndamere who is nothing compared to Aurelion in pure strength and "hacks", even he can fight and resist the inevitable death that she is. Lastly I can't wait for Riot to confirm or deny some of the theories and interpretations, I even watched the whole 2 hour vod of Necrit with his reaction and then talking to Nickyboi (other lore dude) and disscusssing it... Like did Trynda really fight her or did he just see the enemies as Kindred due nto being close to death or the second theory he fought in 2 places at once, he fought both those dudes and then Kindred in wherever that was, death realm, spirit real, his mind w/e and just as those last 2 dude were about to kill him with his back turned and Ashe saving him he got out. Also I might be wrong, but from what Necrit and the other dude implied, it shouldn't work like that and yet, Trynda might somehow be an exception, due to how often he is close to death and as some other ppl said in the comments, he propably fought them like 20-30x already, every time he uses Undying Rage and is close to death he meets Kindred, they propably know each other better than he and Ashe do LMAO Lastly back to Trynda being an exception, you can see his shoulder pads/guards being fine, then the wolf bites into them, you can see the bite marks in the later part of the fight and then they are STILL there when he leaves and is there with Ashe, the mark of the wolf is still there *!!!* Both Necrit and Nicky said it shouldn't be there, so.?. Love the mystery/the mysterious part of it as well. Dunno how to interpret the part when he almost hit her with the tip of the blade, all I got is awe. Anyways, sorry about this long-ass "180 word school essay due tommorow" BS, but I really loved the vid and it got me hyped and since none of my close friends with whom I could share this kind of hype without it being weird play LoL, the hype gets vented elsewhere 🤣 Great reaction 👍
I would really like to see you react to god of war (the old or the new ones) as far as league characters go shyvana might be a good champion to look into or zed, jax

I like the Implying part here on tryndamere vs kindred, that every time tryndamere uses his ult(near death) he sees kindred(literal death) instead of his enemies.
Ohhh I see is that what it was implying?! daaaamn I thought it was just that he was near death but thats even more insane holy shit
@@georgieegames He can become immortal for 5 seconds with his ultimate.
His ultimate Undying Rage makes him immortal for a short period
He was near death. That's his ult. Same thing.
@@georgieegames No no wait lol you are not wrong either, the fact that Tryndamere uses his ultimate implies that he's indeed close to death. So this is the main reason why he sees Kindred
The cinematic is about the Past, Future and Present
The Past, is of Kayle and Morgana, before they decided to go their separate ways of dealing with justice. It also explains how Aatrox already knows them despite not knowing Demacia itself, simply cuz at the time this happened Demacia wasn't Demacia yet
The Future is of Yasuo, finghting one last time before accepting the arrow of the Lamb
The Present is of Tryndamere, and his non acceptance of death, both by the Wolf and the Lamb, due to his partial "anger fueled blood magic"
omg I just realised we just saw yasou death :( ah thats sad! :( the kindred moment was just INCREDIBLE holy shit its gonna be in my thoughts a WHILE! they did SUCH an incredible job!
that was Ashe's arrow that hit Yasuo,
as an Ashe main who kill steals from downtown i can guarantee you that.
Nope.This arrow belongs to Kindred @@mrolajerson0601
look carefully 3:15 there is a wolf under the arrow@@mrolajerson0601
@@mrolajerson0601 It was Kindred's. Wolf's eyes being shown in the darkened woods right behind it's point of origin confirms it, no questions to be asked.
1:55 I love the implication that Kayle goes from lvl 1 to lvl 16 during one Morgana stun
I wish she would level up that quickly for me
That's how long the Morgana stun is
You wrote "fact" wrong. That damn thing might as well last longer than my life.
Not from level 1.
Kayle already has 4 wings at the start of the cinematic. Level up was still insanely fast.

The way riot use kindred’s lore for this so fking good
legit SO happy they used kindred FINALLY its so hype
@@georgieegamesi mean i cant express how speedless i am with Kindred in this cinematic. . . . Im suffer rn with by the happiness( to everyone Tryn is the focus in this cinematic but to me Kindred is the real MVP, not only the visual the action …. Its the context behind it the meaning )
I think this cinematic is definitely kindred focused more as kindred does appear in every fight implying that death is always there but the characters are still here (ahhh) @@chiangmei1265
@@georgieegamesmy next wish “ break free Aurelion Sol “ ( need him to be a main focus of cinematic ) i want war i want destruction from him 😂
But the way majority of people interprets this is so fking sad
I really love how Kindred act in this cinematic.
The lamb looks very cold, calm, and really take her time while the wolf has his claws now!!
That scene that the lamb was genuinely curious after Trynd tried to attack her is really good. As a proper death incarnate, they don't understand how can this human fight them off and why.
And that wolf eyes in the middle of arrow rains, that's really good.
every scene with kindred in was just incredible, seeing them after knowing who they are just has this incredible impact and seeing how both the lamb and the wolf move complementing each other was insane! I also didn't recognise lambs voice at the beginning until I watched it again while editing omg! SO GOOOOD
I don't think that ashe even saw kindred, only trynd did. When his death was no longer certain because ashe came to back him up she disappeared to him.
the wolf fights the ones who resist death as he likes to fight people who are close to dead while kindred is the one who gives those who are willing to die a swift death (the part where you see the arrow flying towards yasuo as he accepts his death)
I didn't even think about that, good spot@@L0LIProp
BROOOOO kindred in doubt about why trynda is not dying is def my favorite moment in this cinematic. and in any reaction ive seen until now ppl talk about it.
Find yourself a wife as loyal and saving your ass when needed as Ashe here is.
yes please
they gave ashe a small rework to his clothes in this cinematic
I swear that moment made me want to be straight and get wife 😭
@@someguywithawooperpfp3163Bruh 😂 Ashe calming raging berserkers and factory resetting gay peeps 😂
Kayle nad Morgana part is in the past (there's shadow of the Lamb in the fire) Old Yasuo possible future (there's shadow of the Wolf at the end) and Tryndamere and Ashe are present. Tryndamere's undying rage is him literally fighting the Death until there's no more danger around him - Ashe saving him. Wife goals, love her fit here.
OHHHH that makes a LOT of sense I was like?! oh wow thats amazing! This video is just AMAZING i just can't
Can you timestamp the shadow of the Lamb in the fire? I still cannot find it after watching 5 times-
the center arrow that flies at Yasuo is also white like Kindred's
Yeah this whole cinematic has to do with Kindred claiming champions. In the past Morg and Kayle kill Aatrox. Right as the flames from Kayle hit you see a shadow before it transitions to Yasuo who is an old man in his last fight. The bright light from the heavens and him closing his eyes is him dying. Much like how he closes his eyes and splits the arrow before activating his wind. The end is Tryn fighting Kindred in his ult before being saved by his wife, Ashe.@@georgieegames
OH nvm! It's right before the transition to old Yasuo scene
As a Kindred main, I lost my mind with this cinematic. Seeing how Tryndamere struggles to fend off the two has me feeling things. If he always fights Kindred when he uses his ult then this puts a different perspective on his character.
He's exhausted buddy he killed many of them
On the brink of death more like 🥲
I'd like to think he fights all the embodiments of death while he's in his rage. His body is fighting the real enemies, while his soul is fighting the embodiment of death, in this case, Kindred. Mans just too angry to die.
Tryndamere wouldn’t have died anyways, he’s too angry
Probably the best reaction clip of ”Still Here” I have seen! You seem so genuine :)
Death is always present even in the future.
2:00 Kindred in the fire
3:15 Lamb's Arrow and the Wolf(Kindred)
3:18 Trynda Vs. Death, Trynda is about to die but ashe saves him
Sorry but I can't see kindred in the fire, would you mind pointing it out for me?
Actually he's right. You can see her silhouette in the fire just before we move to next scene. @@xinyuanma
There's just something about the way Kindred stalks Tryndamere in that cinematic that really resonates with her character.
Calm, methodical, patient. She doesn't have to rush, they all come to her in the end.
To me this trailer showcases
Past: Kayle and Morgana side by side (Morgana didn't bind herself yet)
Present: Tryndamere and Ashe fighting alongside each other
Future: elder Yasuo and how he meets his end
And Kindred being the timeless personification of death, which is always present
Kindred's voice 0:04

Edit: the time stamps here are for the original video not Ms. Georgies' might confuse people sorry bout that.
He wasn't "using it." He has no control of it, it automatically "activates" when he's on brink of death.
Words can't express the joy I felt at seeing Kindred in a cinematic; and the main focus of one at that! I genuinely cried from sheer happiness. They're my favourite characters from any piece of media, and seeing my precious floofs finally get the spotlight that they deserve has made my entire year already 😊
Same here. Kindred are far and away my favourite champion in LoL. I always love cultural interpretations and representations of death, and Kindred always had such potential to be incredible. The beginning quote from Lamb set my heart racing before even a single visual appeared on screen, I was under the impression Riot had forgotten that they existed.
Girl, I really loved your Reaction; its priceless; knowing about lore and what implies the characters in there brings a lot of hype. From a Main Kindred, right in the ❤.
Love ya.
Oh knowing the lore 100% adds to this cinematic its just STUNNING! I bet you are SO happy to finally see kindred getting their chance to SHINE! Seeing them in a cinematic FINALLY AHHHH it was just the best!!
As someone who has heavily invested in Kayle and Morgana's growth and development since season 3, I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction to seeing them show up. It's almost waxing poetic as they are some of the few people who have witnessed (nearly) all of Valoran/Runeterra's history. But beyond that they are also part of the OG crew and they appear in one of the very first original League cinematics. Their depiction as the "Past" sequence is multifold and a brilliant homage to when the game had much humbler and smaller origins.
Riot also does extremely well with storyboarding their cinematics to invoke a lot of thought and symbolism that ties characters together. In the beginning of this scene, we see that Kayle is the one who takes the intiatives (eyes towards the sky and leading her sister, swinging at Aatrox first, etc.) She is also more prone to the more immediate and swift sort of judgement given she clashes with Aatrox than Morgana, who tends to sweep around his attacks and doesn't use her sword nearly as much as her sister does. And the one time she does actually try to strike him, he simply grabs her. Symbolically, it could be interpreted as Morgana's reluctance to direct, physical clashes as her judgement style (her belief that each person is capable of redemption.) But when Aatrox lands with his army marching behind him, Morgana is the one who actually takes the initiative first. She knows that there's no longer any room for mercy, and after casting aside her armaments she uses her celestial magics to bind him. Kayle looks up and when her vision focuses on Morgana, the sun is wreathing her sister like an angel despite her differences to what is deemed an "angel. It signifies that Morgana's intentions are the same as Kayle's (they both want to protect their home, no matter the cost.)
Even if this was the spark that caused their separation and Kayle's disdain for Morgana's style of justice, between their synchronized flights and the combination of Morgana chaining Aatrox down and Kayle's divine inferno consuming him, they are two sides to the same coin. It took both of them to stop him (also due to their lack of being full fledged aspects) so neither could claim victory alone.
It should also be noted during this scene, the music depicts the urgency of their encounter against Aatrox, who is aptly named "the World Ender." Especially the bone-chilling drop when Morgana finally embraces her seemingly forsaken gifts.
Good analysis, cant do better muhself
So Kindred are the being that anyone in Runeterra near dead would meet. Tryndamere acutally using his undying rage against enemies he nearly dead so only he saw Kindred, their job is to decide his fate but he reject it and fight to last breath, thanks to Ashe came help him, his life no longer at risk so Kindred have nothing to do here so they dissapeared
люблю смотреть реакции людей, которые показывают эмоции, а не просто сидят и смотрят, спасибо за эмоции!)
The three stories are all tied to Kindred. They are like the embodiment of death in league, Lamb represents the acceptance of death and Wolf represents the violent struggle against it. The song is Kindred reminding you that they are still there, death is never far away. (and they will always be there, in the past, the present and the future as you can see is also a theme in this video)
In the scene with Kayle and Morgana fighting Aatrox you can see Kindred in the fire at the end of the scene. (They are there for the army behind Aatrox close to the end, since we know that the three main characters are still alive since this is an event from the past)
The scene with Yasuo (in a future vision) You can in the tree line see Wolf's eyes, but since Yasuo accepted his death Lamb's arrow is the one that took him out.
And lastly Tryndamere at the end defies both Wolf and Lamb, fighting against death, with Lamb then lowering her bow at the end as he is SAVED by Ashe.
And also see how it implied that he's the only one seeing wolf and lamb as this fight happens since he is on the brink of death, litterally staring death into it's eyes, and he's acctually in another fight against other humans that you can see Ashe shoot at the end to save him, and you see Kindred dissapear since he is no longer "supposed to die". (It's basically tryndameres ultimate in game thats shown here, but from his perspective.)
Love this explanation! Makes sense 100%
An interesting detail is after Tryndamere's fight is over he clearly has claw marks on his armor from wolf so its more than just a symbolic thing in which he see's lamb and wolf in place of the soldiers he was fighting. It's possible both things are actually happening just in different realms so to speak. When he's near death he gets partially pulled into Kindred's domain and he's technically fighting both lamb and wolf while still subconsciously defending against the soldiers. This also explains why the scene is so dark when Kindred appears and why the light returns once he's out of danger.
georgie i loved youre reaction, you are kinda new to the universe.
and still recognized everybody right away.
and the way you got hyped about every detail i love it.
This whole Cinematic is based around Kindred (Lamb and Wolf). In the World of Runeterra, Kindred is essentially the grim reaper. She collects those in death. there are signs of Kindred in all 3 scenes.
the Scenes are broken up into Past, Future, and Present.
In the Past, Two Demi-Angels, Kayle (blonde) and Morgana (Brunette) Defended and dealt justice in a Land that would eventually become known as Demacia. The Scene Depicts an area under siege by the Darkin Aatroxx (the demon). Darkin were originally ascendant beings but they were driven mad by the void in a war long ago. Kayle and Morgana are sisters, their Mother is an angel, and they both hold 1 half of their mother's sword. They defeat Aatrox. In the lore, Kayle is stoic and brings justice in a very cold and unemotional way, while Morgana is more affected by the plight of humans and reasons that judgement and justice can be tempered.
In the scene Morgana drops her mothers weapon and taps into darker powers to fight Aatrox, you can see the disdain Kayle has for Morgana in the quick glance she gives her, even as she takes up both halves of her mothers sword and causes the firestorm. if you look closely, there is an afterimage in the fire that is Kindred.
Then you go to the Future, in Ionia, where we are greeted by an Old man version of Yasuo, the Wind swordsman. After he uses his whirlwind, you see many arrows in the sky coming for Yasuo, including a bright one, which appears to hit him, this is the Arrow of Kindred, claiming Yasuo. if you look in the sky, you can also see the apparent shape of a wolfs head.
in the last scene, which would be considered the Present, in Frejord, you see Tryndamere, who has the power to avoid death by tapping into his rage via blood magic. He is married to Ashe, a Frostborn Tribal Leader. In the scene, Trendamere is fighting death (literally) by fighting against Kindred (the Lamb and the Wolf). Tryndamere power in game is literally to become un-killable for a short period of time. As the fight goes on, Kindred lets her bow go because Ashe has arrived, and saves Tryndamere. It's not his time to die.
This cinematic made my stomach TURN. I felt it so deep in my stomach the entire video I was at the edge of my seat
LITERAL CHILLS
7:05 it was back when demacia was still young, and both morgana and kayle are like their protector. I believe this was mentioned in the mageseeker game
8:10 -some might think this was yasuo, since this character does use wind technique, but I think this is more likely a random wind technique user before yasuo, since at the end of his scene (--2:52-- raining arrow part), there's a kindred arrow, signifying the swordsman's death-
Edit: nvm me being a dumbass, doesn't notice his scar on the nose
Edit 2: 1hour after edit 1, i edited again, since i did note that i was wrong, but still get messages. guys forgive me for this one mistake pls, and i leave it here so people can laugh at this silly idiocy of mine
Ohhhh okay that would make sense! Unless thats how yasou dies and its in the future ah?!
its signifying past(morgana,kayle),Present (trynda,ashe) and future(old man yasuo) and how in each time period,always death(kindred) is STILL HERE,hence the name of the song.
very likely the master he was framed for murdering
@@NGBH honestly, i would agree about the past, present, future if the cinematic does go in that order. but it goes in the order of kayle/morgana, the swordsman, then tryn/ashe, suggesting that the swordsman's time comes before tryn/ashe
I'm pretty sure it is Yasuo, just in future, because when he loses his hat and looks up you can see he has that scar on his nose which he got in the battle with Yone
As soon as the cinematic started and i heard " Tomorrow is a hope" i was like NEVER A PROMISE and i got so hyped, seeing that kindred fight gave me goosebumps, at the end you can see bodies around trynda as if he was fighting those but he only saw kindred near his death, and lamb was about to finish him off with an arrow as the two men behind him were about to kill him but when ashe's arrows came she lowered her bow, it's SO COOL
As someone who has PASSIONATELY played Kayle and Kindred since 2013, this was beyond any hopes I had for this year's cinematic. I really love seeing your fervent reaction to this.
Your reaction is exactly what I feel inside thank you😭😭😭
We really are still here after all these years playing this game
Whatever you think of League, it really is something special, Riot really knows how to drop a banger when it matters
I love how Tryndamere's fight against Kindred is represented. While in his ultimate, he is literally fighting off death.
He should die here, and They know it. The battle around him fades away, and in place of his enemies he sees the Kindred. Every time he clashes with Wolf he is shrugging off blows from his enemies, and he feels the pain through The Wolf's teeth. Every time he swats away Lamb's arrow is him denying a moment where he could just lie down and pass gently, and he sees the choice in the Lamb's arrow. When Ashe's arrows come over Kindred's shoulders to save Tryndamere from the two enemies about to strike him, the time where he would die has passed, and Kindred vanishes. Because it is no longer his time.
His power isn't "Not Dying". He is as mortal as anyone else. His power is awareness of death. He can See them. He can Fight them.
Its poetic.
More like, his will to live outsmarted death, but great analysis
I watched a lot of reaction videos about the cinematic and your reaction was absolutely the best! I'm glad you noticed the small details!
The old man is Yasuo, since Yasuo got the Scar accros his nose which he got during his battle with Yone (His Brother) so yeah thats Yasuo but Old one and he uses all Yasuo's Abilities
Man, watching your pure unadulterated excitement almost makes me want to pick up LoL after a decade of hiatus. What a joy to watch!
Goodness me im sat smiling like a baby because I saw this video before seeing the cinematic itself; reacting alongside you was so fun!! :D
Always nice to see League content from you, lovely reaction as always ❤ And the old man threw me for a loop too! The only people it could possibly be is future Yasuo or Yasuo’s master Souma before Riven accidentally killed him. Riot has never explored lore so far in advance of a characters current state, which makes me think it could be Souma. But the only Ionian conflict I can think of that resembles that scene would be the invasion of Ionia by Noxus, which none of the attackers seem to be. Some of their masks actually resemble the Oni that frequent Ionia, implying this is a future conflict involving Ionian cults. Very interesting regardless!
thank you! Its amazing to make it again! Has been too long, will do more soon!
As a fan of Kindred, this is my exact reaction to this cinematic! You're so entertaining btw 😂
And not just entertaining, but you're really into the lore, and I love you so much for it!
I'm so hyped for what riot is going to bring out this year, I believe they're giving us a glimpse/taste to the MMO
Yup, absolutely putting it in my headcanon that Tryndamere is literally fighting Kindred every single time he uses Undying Rage. Also putting it in the headcanon that Kindred actually enjoy this, as Wolf treats Tryndamere as a practice buddy and Lamb just enjoys studying this anomaly in their work and trying to understand "why?".
Also reason #73 to dislike Kayle - that look of absolute contempt in 1:52
The song and animation are soo good. I love how Tryndamere starts fighting against Kindred long enough for Ashe to come save him from death, it's a really good way to convey roughly how his ult works. I think that the old guy is suppose to be Yasuo's master during the Invasion of Ionia.
Its SO good dude! I am listening to the song on repeat RN XD I love it SO much! YESSS that tryndamere vs kindred fight was INCREDIBLE! I am so happy they finally gave kindred the spotlight! and that is a good theory, I have heard as the description says past, present, future it may be yasou when he is older fighting one last time...:(
It's Yasuo in the future
It's been confirmed to be yasuo as he's getting a skin for it, the skin is called Foreseen Yasuo
I recently had a near death experience and watching Trynda trying to fend off Kindred is scary ngl, beautiful but scary.
Well done surviving the irl Kindred gank
Full story :
This is happening in the past. There’s a few ways to tell. First the description of the video gives it away as it’s kindred talking.
Second that’s an older version of Demacia, you can tell because it’s still being barricaded with wood and stuff. This is before Kayle and morgana have a falling out.
Speaking of which morgana still has her sword in this. Kayle in current lore has both of her mother’s swords, where as in this cinematic each of the sisters were given 1.
They’re fighting a weaker older version of Aatrox, likely he just doesent have a strong enough host.
The Yasuo cinematic is a possible future where Ionia gets invaded again. The arrow he splits in half pays off fully later when he lets the kindred arrow hit him. He could have split it in half but he’s accepting death here as an old man. I think Yasuo might be the first champion to have a confirmed death. Permanent death. Gone forever.
The tryndamere part is happening in the present. Who knows what EXACTLY is happening though freljordians always fight eachother.
Because kindred is death, while he IS technically fighting kindred, he’s also fighting off the dudes attacking him. He’s close to death so he sees kindred instead but tryndamere R too op so he manages to fend kindred off until Ashe comes to rescue him, and because Ashe is rescuing him he’s not dying anymore so kindred backs off.
Likely not the first or last time Tryndamere will see kindred either. I think the cinematic is hinting that every time he uses his Darkin blood magic to stay alive he’s always in a fight against death
THIS WHOLE CINEMATIC WAS SO AMAZING TO WATCH AND SEEING KINDRED MADE ME FREAK OUT SO SO MUCH LIKE SEEING KAYLE AND MORGANA FIGHT AATROX MADE ME FRAK OUT ALREADY LIKE OMG
RIGHT LIKE OH MY GOD THEY JUST POPPED THE ABSOLUTE FRICK OFF IM SO HAPPY
@@georgieegames HONESTLY I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO REACT TO THIS!! I WAS LIKE I WONDER HOW GEORGIE IS GONNA BE WHEN THIS COMES OUT WHEN I SAW KINDRED
OH I WAS WAITING FOR THAT COUNTDOWN XD I AM SO HAPPY KINDRED WAS IN IT! JUST FINALLYYY! they have like one of the best lore/character design in league im so happy to see them in a cinematic FINALLY@@sawthesunrise
Ashe, Tryndamere, Kayle Morgana, It's like we are back to the old saison. Riot know how to make the fan happy
they TRULY do! I am so happy seeing them all! but with the bonus of FINALLY seeing kindred! about time! they served us WELL!
Riot can easily make the greatest movie ever made in history, they just don't want to.
I'm pretty sure the "weird" part with Tryndamere and Kindred is just that he's between life and death in the undying rage. In his head he's fighting Kindred, that represents death, but in reality he's just lost in his rage, fighting those soldiers who are there to finish him off, Kindred is literally death, when Ashe shows up Kindred just knows it's not his time and it all becomes clear, you can see all the dead soldiers around him.
Kayle, Morgana and Attrox is Past Event also If you look at kayle when morg ult you can see the ick and disgust on her face, little details but cheff kiss, Yasuo is in Future Event where he accept death which you can see the arrow and the sillohoutte of wolf, the Tryndamere is in Present Event where Ashe save him from death which is Kindred.
It's old man Yasuo. Same scar, hair style and abilities etc. He is just old, but they kept identifiers because character silhouettes are important.
yeah I did think it looked like yasuo but didn't realise they set it partially in the future so it now makes a lot more sense!
This is the lore of the cinematic:
(The past) In the first scene, we see Kayle and Morgana fighting side by side, both with their powers. When both of them are pushed to their limits by Aatrox, Morgana gives away her powers as the Aspect of Justice and binds Aatrox, even if for a moment. Then we can see Kayle taking Morgana's powers, representing her taking Morgana's sword, and looking at her sister with disgust. When Morgana falls to the ground, Kayle ascends and kills the host of Aatrox. We can see Lamb in the flames, showing his death. (Aatrox does not really die, but his host does.)
(The future) In the second scene, we see bandits raiding Ionian village and Yasuo as an old man standing his ground. Each time he uses his power, the bonds on his arm unravel. And at the end, when arrows rain right at him, we can see his acceptance of death and Kindred's arrow ending his life. We can also see Wolf's eyes in the shadows right before Lamb's arrow falls.
(The present) In the last scene, we see Tryndamere fighting against a group of enemies and dying. It is represented as him fighting Kindred (death), with both Wolf and Lamb refusing to die; his red eyes represent his "undying rage." We can see that Lamb is showing a sign of confusion as to why this man doesn't give up. In the final scene, we can see Lamb lowering her bow when Ashe (Tryn's wife) saves him from his last enemies just in the moment he is about to die. Seeing that this is not the time to claim Tryndamere, Kindred disappears.
This cinematic represents that death is timeless, showing one scene from the past, one from the present, and one from the future.
It also shows both aspects of Kindred. When Aatrox's host dies, we see Lamb idle while Wolf delivers the final blow. Wolf hunts down those who resist death. When Yasuo dies, Wolf waits, as Lamb's arrow is the final moment. Lamb brings peaceful death to those who accept it. Tryndamere fights both Wolf and Lamb, defying natural order using his powers; in the end, he successfully avoids death
Explaining what happened in this cinematic to people that don't know the lore and character's names.
This cinematic is about time and death. The cinematic have 3 moments: The angel vs demon scene happens in the past. The old samurai scene happens in the future and the barbarian fighting at snow happens in the present. The archer spirit and its wolves that you see in the snow scene are Kindred, the most powerful being in League of Legends. It is basically the Grim Reaper of this universe that only shows up when the time has come to someone. Althought you can clearly see them (Kindred is referred to in the plural) in the last part of the cinematic, they also appears when Kayle (the blonde angel) attacks Aatrox (the demon) while Morgana (her twin sister, the brunnete angel) is exausted on the ground, in form a silouete in the flames. In the future part, the Kindred also show up as Yasuo (the old samurai) closes his eyes accepting death before being hit by a rain of arrows. You can see the white spirit arrow from Kindred going straight to him.
In the present moment is where the cherry on the cake is. The barbarian with a giant sword is Tryndamere and his ultimate skill is the ability to resist death for a few seconds. In game, he basically continues taking damage, but never drops bellow 1hp while the ult is active. You see him fighting the Kindred wolves, but it is just his vision. He is actually fighting this horde of human warriors surrounding him, taking hit and resisting death (resisting Kindred) as he tries his last standing. Kindred aim their arrow to him but stop from shooting when the two arrows from Ashe (the white haired archer queen) saves him from the last 2 enemies behind him. Kindred lost their purpose to catch Tryndamere as they saw that his time hasn't come yet.
I love the detail of Kindred tilting the head looking at Tryndamere after dodging his attack, intrigued because the barbarian is fighting the death itself and this fact took the attention of this powerful godlike being. Trully a nice touch. This video is a master piece.
when Tryn sees Ashe " It's easy to find something worth dying for. Do you have anything worth living for?"
Aatrox: looking for death
Yasuo: accepting death
Kindred vs Tryndamere: one is death and the other defies it
this cinematic is eye and lore candy.
(
The Morgana and Kayle bit was when they're still fighting together. Hence why Morgana still has armor and the other half of their mother's sword. But when Morgana embraced her magical powers. Kayle then picks up the sword.
The part with Tryndamere is him facing death. That last moment when Kindred backs off is cuz he's being saved by Ashe so his life was no longer in danger.
this is one of the best reaction iv ever seen good job mate
ALSO!!!! Vandiril made videos on new in-game quest that can happen. Kayle and Morgana VS Aatrox, and Kindred VS Tryndamere- each side is to kill the other, with some specifications, and the winner gets a buff to an ability, with exanded visual effects, too! I love shite like that so much!
Last fight scene was so amazing. It could mean so many things, that Tryndamere sees Kindred every time he uses his immortality. That its his first time seeing Kindred and we saw Kindred have a confused exppresion either from him refusing to die or maybe they are suprised by his abillity. Or maybe tryndamere is fighting his enemies but he only sees Kindred. So many ways too see it
And i dont know if this was intended but when old Yasuo was about to "die" from the arrow it was glowing, maybe that was also Kindreds arrow because Kindred uses the bow and arrow on those who accept their death and Yasuo did just that. And it would make sense since Kindred is in literally the next scene. Awsome cinematic
INCREDIBLE! He did look a bit confused so I wonder if that is the first time kindred has approached him or attacked maybe! The fight was SO GOOD! I loved seeing how kindred works and how vicious the wolf was compared to the eerieness of the lamb! and yes the yasou death :( I think he probably did die at the end of that which is just SO SAD! :(
@@georgieegames perhaps he's never been so close to death before.
Lol I love watching your reactions. I feel like you're one creator that actually took the time to learn bits and pieces of lore, so your reactions are all the more genuine.
It was infact Yasuo, you can tell hes older, traveling and you can see the regret and unwanting to pick his blade up again
My absolute favorite part is Tryndamere's expression softening. So nice, and exactly what I always wanted in a LoL cinematic.
One detail I think is interesting that I don't think anyone else really noticed on their first viewing, is that look Kayle gives to Morgana at the end of their scene. It's disdain and disgust. She capitalizes on the opportunity, of course, but this is either the inciting incident for their eventual falling out or another contributor to it. Morgana did what she had to do to save herself, her sister, and what would eventually become Demacia, but Kayle sees it as a betrayal of their ideals. It's interesting just how much subtext can be in a scene if you're familiar with the lore.
*THIS WAS AMAZING*
And the lore behind it,everything about this cinematic is so good
P.S. First vid i see from you,subbed :D
Hey georgieegames :D
since I mainly play Kayle myself (Morgana too, but you know... Kayle FTW :) ) I wanted to thank you for also showing this level of dedication and enthusiasm for, especially Kayle, but also Morgana :)
What you saw in the cinematic was, due to Riot Games current lore policy that EVERYTHING is canon, a very story driven event. This may have been the moment where the two Sisters of Justice split, forced to use a new level of their power for the first time as Aatrox threatened to overpower them. You can see how "normal" they look at the beginning. Compared to the basic skin, they are young, even youthful, and their facial features are a little less defined than we've seen in previous artwork - this is particularly noticeable in Kayle's face. They wear Demacian helmets and their armor is also in the Demacian style. Both are equipped with their mother's sword and fight "conventionally" against Aatrox. However, when Morgana notices Kayle smashing into the wall and the gate (note Morgana's look towards Kayle), she decides to give in to this "greater power of the Aspect" - the Shadow. If you listen closely, you can hear Morgana's screams of exertion and exhaustion and despair under the music as she has Aatrox bound. Kayle, as the more "radical" of the two sisters, has only contempt for Morgana's actions after she gets back on her feet, but of course takes the opportunity to deal the decisive blow to Aatrox by doing the same as her sister, as Kayle also "rises" by giving in to the light part of the aspect and by taking Morgana's sword.
It may very well be that on this already epic battlefield, the next, bigger battle took place only a short time later - this time between the two sisters, which shook Demacia for a long time and left its mark forever.
Thank you for your content and keep up the good work :)
PS: The old man after that is Yasuo in the future, since apparently all three time levels, past (Kayle Morgana), present (Trynda Ashe Kindred) and future (Yasuo - after a Redemption story?! :O ) are dealt with here.
Ya that last tryndamere scene is something only ppl who follow lore will get. The fight with Kindred is basically Tryn fighting off death which is a call to his ability that prevents him from dying. and ashe saving him makes Kindred lower her bow and go away.
There was a description on the official video and it say Past,Present, Future and those 3 scenes might have been those 3
Oh i was too excited to read xD well that explains a LOT then hahaha thank you xD my dumbass just decided not to read lol
The old man is Yasuo in the future. You can tell by the scar in the upper part of the nose (and he is one of the only people alive that knows the wind technique), the scar that yone gave him in their battle to death. You can see this in "Kin of the stained blade" cinematic. The why Yasuo is old? no clue really, I think they are teasing stuff in the future or something.
2nd scene is a future vision of what could be. its old man yasuo and you see him accepts Lambs arrow at the end for his death
to explain the kindred part, kindred is death every time you encounter death she appears so when tryndamer was about to die against all those fighters he saw kindred and the fight turnne like he is fighting kindred alone but in fact he was fighting the frelyordians AND kindred at the same time because he was in an undeying rage ( a spell where he just can not die )
I'm obsessed when Kindred disappeared once she realized Ashe arrives to save him.
when ashe showed up AH the look on trynds face and his eyes fading I wanted to CRY
@@georgieegames same sist same 😭😭
He relieved to see his wife.
it was SO CUTE@@forsakenfaithfallenfrey6914
2:02 You can see Kindred
3:12 You can see wolf's eyes
3:30 Finally near death, Kindred fully appear.
Insane details.
Necrit did a Lore Breakdown of this Cinematic, i think you will love it
Yeah Kindred alone makes this cinematic my fav by faaar. Also really really love Kayle this was just fantastic
Fun Facts is the final battle where the strong man faced a wolf and Lamb Archer. It means he is facing death. He is fighting for his life, remember at the beginning he was on the snowbed surrounded by Barbarians. Yeah, he is fighting them while also fighting death. Tyrndamere is at death's door. And when the moment the Frost Archer saves him. Death, though, it's not his time yet.
For Kayle and Morgana vs Aatrox, this was very long ago in the past when Kayle hadn't abandoned Demacia yet. They were losing against Aatrox until Morgana used her dark magic instead of their mother's (Aspect of Justice) power. The sword both of them had were half of their mother's sword. Kayle thinks that her doing this was a mistake as she would rather both of them lose than for Morgana to do what she did. Even though both of of them are about justice, Kayle is about justice no matter how small the crime is whereas Morgana is about forgiving justice, where even a murderer has a chance for redemption.
For the one with the old guy, that is Yasuo many year in the future. He is protecting a village and when he is about to die, he sees Lamb's arrow and accepts it.
For the one with Kindred and Tryndamere, we can see how Tryndamere's ult actually work. He fights Lamb and Wolf until he isn't in danger anymore.
I saw over 20 Reactions.... but yours was still the best and emotinal! I´m looking the rest of your Reacts from LoL now. =D
That's kindred?! Goosebumps and the best moment. LOVE IT!
For context, Tryndamere was about to die at the hands of the, what's probably members of the Winter's Claw, and therefore the appearance of kindred. While long-haired-daddy-angry-man faught the wolf and the lamb, in reality he was fending off the other warriors and was saved by Ashe at the last moment.
if they make a movie mashing this cinematic quality with arcane qualities it could be the best movie ever made
@georgieegames The Yasuo part 😭😭😭, good thing this was only a vision sent by kindred, like I don't want Yasuo to die against just some bandits, also key detail Yasuo tornado's the last guy, physically implying that he could ult and teleport away from the arrows, Riot technically left the vison open ended cuz du, visions are not 100%. I want Yasuo's Death to be peaceful, cuz he's been through enough hasn't he. But if Riot wants to have his death by a blade, I wanted it to be like a heroic death, kinda like sacrificing himself to defeat a big boss or something like that but man I want Yasuo to have peace... man the thing he never had.
read the video description!! it says that the 3 scenes show the past present and possible future. The past is Kayle and Morgana fighting aatrox during the founding of Demacia, the present is tryndamire, and the possible future is yasuo's death by lamb
The second scene is old Yasuo - you can tell by the scar on his face. This is likely a teaser for the MMO / lore progression as the cinematic shows "Past, Present and possible Futures"
So as a note of why kayle and morgana are together, its in the past before morgana binds her wings (thus her flying XD). These are all point where champs escape kindred (or maybe not with old yas). it jumps about the timeline a bit, morg and kayle in the past, yas in the future, and trynd in the present. At least that's my understand, could totally be wrong XD
From what people have said that seems to be the general understanding which makes sense, especially kayles LOOK at morgana if this was BEFORE the wing binding omg its just STUNNING
You should react to Necrit when he posts his video about explaining this cinematic, he will definetly release it in the following days
I shall keep my peepers PEELED for that video its gonna be so good
Kindred only appears subconsciously, the surrounding soldiers are the cause of death. Death is predetermined, those who resist fate will have to confront Kindred. Tryndamere was unable to defeat the defeated soldiers, which meant he could not escape the Sheep and the Wolf. But he tried to fight to change his fate, holding out long enough for Ashe to come to his rescue.
In the future, Yasuo already exists, protect what needs to be protected, and have forgiven yourself for past mistakes. He passed away peacefully after receiving Kindred's silver arrow.
[All] [Tryndamere]: Sit dogs. Ez top. Thanks for LP
Motifs of Kindred is in every battle. All the characters are dealing with death, Aatrox cannot die so Kindred is in the disintegration/smoke transition (the lamb stance she does), Yasuo accepts his death so out of the hail of arrows you see Kindred's light arrow and the forest shadows are shaped like her wolf, and then Trynamere's fight with death but she backs off since he is not ready for death.
this was a Kindred cinematic lol
This cinematic is a representation of the past present and future. At the very beginning we see Tryndamere laying on the ground and he sees a faint glimpse of kindred (this will be important later). Then the first battle scene is in the past in ancient Demacia (we are talking over 1000 years ago) and we see the two sisters Kayle and Morgana who together both make the aspect of justice, basically they are both the god of justice, Morgana judges and Kayle punishes. We see Kayle and Morgana fighting Aatrox who is a darkin (darkin is a corrupted god warrior and Aatrox is the only cannonical person to kill an aspect being the aspect of war pantheon). Past them fighting I am unsure of why they are fighting each other I would assume it is part of the Darkin War which started due to the emperor of Shurima Azir dying and all the God warriors went corrupt and turned into the Darkin and they all vied for power with the two strongest being Aatrox and Xolaani.
Next we see the future, a village in Ionia is being attacked by what I assume to be the Shadow order and the old man who steps up is a much older Yasuo (he was in the Awaken cinematic for reference). Thus knowing its a older Yasuo and this being in the future there is a lot of unknowns and there is more questions than answers.
Finally we are in the present and we return to Tryndamere, the fact that he saw a glimpse of Kindred at the start of the cinematic its no surprise he is fighting them becasue Kindred is LoL's version of death, a lamb (the white on with a bow) for a painless death for those who embrace death and a wolf (the large black one) for a painful death to those who choose to run or fight. Since Tryndamere is fighting Kindred we know he is close to death at this point, when his eyes go red he enters "undying rage" basically he becomes so angry he cannot die. Plot twist Tryndamere is seeing Kindred and thinking he is fighting Kindred when in fact he was figthing the people who were surrounding him.
Then we see 2 blue arrows fly past Kindred and we see Ashe emerge and Kindred disappear meaning Ashe saved Tryndamere from death, also side note Ashe is Tryndamere's wife. I do apologize for the long comment but there is a lot happening in the cinematic and I thought to add context incase something was confusing, I hope this helps and if you have more question I'm willing to try and answer them for you.
I remember watching a lot of your videos when you were first getting into league and slowly went away as you transitioned into genshin but damn I do love how excited you are at recognizing the characters
thank youu! I will definitely be creating more league content this year leading up to Arcane season 2 as I am SO hyped for that! (genshin may still be around too haha) thanks for the support its appeciated! :)
What I love most about this cinematic is that it canonizes Kindred's method, and the fact that every time Tryn is pushed to the edge of death and forced to use Unrelenting Rage what he sees is Kindred. Which also shows that this is far from the first time he has fought Kindred.
Well it was already canon as far as I know but the cinematic actually raises a lot more questions about Kindred and how they operate. It also kinda goes against the idea of Trynd having to fight them every time he ults. I agree its a cool idea and it makes total sense, but Lamb is clearly confused fighting him essentially wondering why he isn't dying. She also steps in despite him resisting which means he's wolf's mark not hers which further shows her confusion and gives the impression that this is their first encounter though timeline wise it could be and as such maybe he will encounter them every time after this.
Then there's also this idea of it being symbolic and he's only seeing Kindred in place of the soldier's who are going to defeat him once his rage runs out, yet at the same time he has visible claw marks on his armor by the end of the fight, so this also suggests that Kindred doesn't exist in the material world but does in some other realm and when you're close to death you don't just see them you're partially pulled into their domain. So both fights are happening, he's fighting Wolf, Lamb and still subconsciously fighting the soldiers in the real world. When Ash eliminates the danger in the real world Kindred release him from their realm and that also explains why it was so dark when he was fighting them and why it returns to normal once he's been saved.
FYI Kindred appears after every fight in this cinematic. After Aatrox's death in the flames, after Yasuo's death in the darkness. And even in the snow during the initial scene.
Good job on the Tryn vs death pickup, most of the other people doing a reaction video were clueless.
Tryn is dying, he sees Kindred (the Grimm reaper of the lore, life and death) there to collect his mark/soul.
In his last breath, he remembers the love of his life, Ashe. He stands back up, refusing to die. It's a fight he can't win, but he just won't bend the knee. Surprising Kindred in the process. Something changes, this man is longer about to die, Kindred lowers her weapon. Ashe's arrows kill the upcoming deathblow, saving her lover's life. Hawk shot.
Its really cool how u can see Kindred in all the fight.
In the past they come for Aatrox but he just couldn't die even he wish to.
In the present they come for Tryn but he refused to die and fight back.
In the future they come for Yasuo and he accepted it
Kayle only getting her power by taking Morgana's half of the sword was a nice touch.
We see Kindred in the transition of Aatrox, only watching in the flames of the past because obviously he cannot die. We see Yasuo in the future using his wind once more after breaking his oath to not do so, accepting his death peacefully at the tip of Lamb's arrow. Then we see Tryndamere fighting off Death long enough to be saved from the soldiers that would have caused his demise.
death came from tryndamere (Kindred), kindred disappeared as she realized it was not his time yet
I've stopped playing league since the end of 2022 (been playing since open beta). BUT finally seeing some Tryndamere/Ashe interactions with this amount of budget fills my heart with joy, I've always loved their lore, politics turned into love trope. And we FINALLY have some Kindred as well, great surprise.
Lastly, that elder is probably Souma, Yasuo's master (they both share the same scar). But it's hard to confirm 100%, since Riot tends to retcon a lot of their lore moving foward.
i like the idea that it could be souma actually, so this could be the past or the future
I need to DELVE into their lore properly as I havent had the chance yet but I know they were engaged/married and seeing them interact in this cinematic just made my heart so happy it was adorable! KINDRED YES FINALLY! Ohhh okay, I think both of the theories whether it being about souma or an older yasuo would make sense! it was still amazing regardless! Thats the thing I love about league, even if you dont play the game, the lore is still SO good it just brings you back in xD
probably playing on kindred always being there,hence we see kayle and morg in past,trynd and ashe in present,and probably this is old man yasuo in the future.
@@NGBH oh, that's a nice take, i didn't catch that. It makes sense, since you can see Kindred's shadow on the flames of Morg/Kayle fight, and a bright arrow is what finishes Yasuo.
@@futanahriadventures yep..and the songs name references kindred,though people would think it references them fighting back. It references that kindred no matter who it is,is "still here".
kindred shoots his arrow at (yes) Old man Yasuo. the morganna kayle duo was pre them splitting. the moment Morganna uses her dark magic the look of hatred in Kayles eyes shows there future very well. also if you look kayle looks like QTcinderella
This cinematic is about past, present, future and death
The Past is about Kayle and Morgana where they were fighting side by side against Aatrox, where Morgana didnt turn evil yet by rejecting her celestial heritage. AATROX IS THE ONE WHO BRINGS DEATH
The Present is Tryndamere, Ashe and Kindred. First, the Ashe is the wife of Tryndamere, she comes to save him from death as she shoots those two guys, so Trynd is not in danger anymore, Kindred vanishes. Also Trynd is maybe the only one who can fight Kindred, because of his ult Undying Rage, he simply cannot die so Kindred cant kill him, thats why Kindred seems kinda confused as you look at the close up of the lamb when she backed away after Trynd broke her bow.
Also i like how Trynds eyes went back to normal when he saw Ashe, the only thing that can comfort him is his wife, Ashe. KINDRED IS DEATH REAPER, SHE IS DEATH
The Future is about Yasuo, when hes in his years, but i cant tell what is happening here, its kinda cofusing for me haha. YASUO IS THE ONE WHO EMBRACED DEATH
This is clearly the best cinematic that RIOT has ever made for me and i shed a tear when Trynd, Ashe and Kindred came to the scene
I found this channel when I was going through those League reactions btw :3
appreciate ya being here! :)
The Cinematic takes place in 3 different time periods, and is basically Kindred coming to take the dying/hunting through time.
The Past: Kayle & Morgana fighting Aatrox in a very VERY old Damacia. You can tell because the gate is still made of regular wood and stone, and the surrounding forests aren't Petricite yet. And also obviously Morgana still has her wings unbound, so this is before the she and Kayle had their full falling out. At the end of their scene, you can see Lamb's silhouette in the flames when Kayle strikes Aatrox down. However, Kindred wasn't able to claim Aatrox, because like many of the Darkin, his soul is actually in the sword and not in the body they killed.
The Future: With an old Yasuo (yes that is an old Yasuo) still protecting people and still being an absolute and total gigachad. At the end it's obviously Lamb's Arrow sailing towards him as he accepts his death. And you can also see at the end Wolf's eyes and outline in the darkness in the background waiting to see if Yasuo actually decided to fight his death or not.
The Present: With Tryndamere almost dying in his fight against another clan in the Freljord. He is battling against Lamb & Wolf because he is in a berserker rage (his Ult) and is literally too enraged to die. And it's crazy when you realize the fight with Lamb & Wolf is just spiritual/in his mind. He was REALLY getting up and fighting/killing all of the enemies that took him down at the start of the cinematic. Because during the fight, you can see that the snow is floating still in midair and not actually falling. And once he "wakes up" from the berserker rage, all of the enemies that were closing in on him are now dead at his feet and there are more bodies than the 1-2 at the beginning+the two Ashe took out at the end. And near the end of the fight, Lamb eventually lowers her bow because Ashe arrives to save him, so Kindred realizes it's not yet his time to die.
Just magnificent.
"They didnt release one last year" I was like wait yeah they... oh shit you right.
I interpreted diferently, Aatrox fight is in the past, but he is alive in the present (if i remember correctly) thats why there is only kindreds shadow(remember Kindred in this universe is death himself) in the fire, Yasuo fight in the posible future he closes his eyes two times, first when he is focusing to break the arrow and at the end when the rain of arrows fall (and the kindred white arrow and the wolf slowly appearing) but for me , he was focusing to fight and survive and well the tryndamere part its like everyone else knows.
Late late response but remember that Aatrox himself is the sword, the body is a human that he has essentially possessed and dominated. When his host body died the original person did as well. The sword will live on.
I knew if I wanted a good reaction, I need to come here, because this cinematic whilst amazing on it's own, becomes much, much better if you know even the tiniest bit of lore and you are a fellow casual League Lore enjoyer. Some ppl are even slightly dissapointed by this, cause they are 101% clueless and don't care about lore and are just like "Hur, dur, where my pure action at"
Now to list my favorite parts about the cinematic:
First part- Kayle and the bitch-ass self-righteous face she makes when she looks down at Morg before striking Aatrox just summarizes who she is perfectly for even non-lore ppl, the *self-righteous bitch* part being the important part :D (Hell I even only know about her being that from watching my boi Necrit, who, despite me not actually reading lore and being a very casual lore enjoyer, is someone I have to watch as he is a fellow compatriot )
Second part- as even the description of the vid says, is a "possible" future, so not 100% set in stone. Old man Yas tho, unexpected, but sick and even with Yasuo dying like that being slightly dissapointing or rather sad, it was still a badass showing and then as he saw the wolf and accepted the arrow and his death, that was just peak. A lot of emotions like regret and not wanting to do any of it were also conveyed very well through the start of his part... Well, what else can I add besides 2 things, the GOAT Liam O'Brian and the characters he voices just being the best and me having a soft spot for them :D Illidan and Yas being the main GOATs (and also just realized beiign quite similar with their backstory) and the fact that PBE ALREADY got a a data download and a preview... Old Man Yasuo skin is coming and I love it (it's called Foreseen if you wanna check it out)
¨
Third part- Trynda out-badassing Yasuo with his Undying Rage. So epic, literally fighting for his life and I felt that shit in my veins, fighting a struggle he cannot win and yet rage and willpower fueled by a bit of Blood Magic (ty Aatrox, you prick LMAO) pushed him far enough for Ashe to get there in time to save him so Kindred put her bow down and left cause what was hysterically close to death and was supposed to truly be his last moments got saved by Ashe turned into a happy end. Trynda rose very sharply in my badass ranks thanks to this. Even Kindred with the slight headtilts and wonder in those expressions was just amazing. Also I think the portrayal overall was great, in the way that even tho she will eventually get even someone like Aurelion Sol who can destroy and create starts in a matter of seconds, her power is just different and isn't a raw, easily graspable thing so even Tryndamere who is nothing compared to Aurelion in pure strength and "hacks", even he can fight and resist the inevitable death that she is.
Lastly I can't wait for Riot to confirm or deny some of the theories and interpretations, I even watched the whole 2 hour vod of Necrit with his reaction and then talking to Nickyboi (other lore dude) and disscusssing it... Like did Trynda really fight her or did he just see the enemies as Kindred due nto being close to death or the second theory he fought in 2 places at once, he fought both those dudes and then Kindred in wherever that was, death realm, spirit real, his mind w/e and just as those last 2 dude were about to kill him with his back turned and Ashe saving him he got out. Also I might be wrong, but from what Necrit and the other dude implied, it shouldn't work like that and yet, Trynda might somehow be an exception, due to how often he is close to death and as some other ppl said in the comments, he propably fought them like 20-30x already, every time he uses Undying Rage and is close to death he meets Kindred, they propably know each other better than he and Ashe do LMAO
Lastly back to Trynda being an exception, you can see his shoulder pads/guards being fine, then the wolf bites into them, you can see the bite marks in the later part of the fight and then they are STILL there when he leaves and is there with Ashe, the mark of the wolf is still there *!!!* Both Necrit and Nicky said it shouldn't be there, so.?. Love the mystery/the mysterious part of it as well. Dunno how to interpret the part when he almost hit her with the tip of the blade, all I got is awe. Anyways, sorry about this long-ass "180 word school essay due tommorow" BS, but I really loved the vid and it got me hyped and since none of my close friends with whom I could share this kind of hype without it being weird play LoL, the hype gets vented elsewhere 🤣 Great reaction 👍
I can only believe it was old man Yasuo, his theme is ronin and wind. And has his straight facial scar.
I still waiting for full Arcane Season 2 trailer because that recent teaser was too short... :(
YES we need it please! Hopefully sometime soon!
I would really like to see you react to god of war (the old or the new ones) as far as league characters go shyvana might be a good champion to look into or zed, jax
OOOO a bit of god of war?! that would be fun! and nice suggestions ill add them to my list! Thanks :D
