It's for sure a really interesting twist on the normal League lore regarding both the Hexcore itself and Viktor more generally. Though Heimerdinger was worked up because in Arcane he witnessed a Mage with a Runestone going haywire (possibly Brand), I doubt he knows anything about the Void. But considering the League execs shit the bed and are trying to make Arcane the main lore, the stupidest move since DC Comics' Final Crisis reboot, who's to say.

the gimmick with fiddlesticks characters is that it can't speak from it's own words, it just mimicks the last words of the people or even animals it kills. That's why in the game it goes around saying things like "IT'S IN THE HOUSE!!!" or "RUUUN!!!", or when it meets another champion, it says stuff that a close person to that champion said, like when it meets annie it says "Annie, help me!!" like Daisy said on the river. And when it kills any champion it usually says a common phrase that champion said. You should react to Fiddle theme and voicelines, there are channels that put together the best voicelines of a champ in a video.
okay ya'll are definitely onto something, I never noticed how much Kai'sa's skinsuit looks like Viktor's augmented parts! That's definitely not just a coincidence
Ye idk, I never saw anyone saying something like that, but me with friend literally when we first time saw blooded version of hexcore thought about the Void. I mean we know that the Void trying to reach Runeterra by any way they could, so them trying to reach by Arcane would fit perfectly.
If you look into Bel'Veth's mouth, or maw I guess is the better term, you'll spot some structures pretty similar to what we see when Viktor's blood mixes with the Hexcore. Wild stuff.
Dude. The new lore of the hexcore in Arcane (SPOILERS BEFORE) ... Shimmer had elements of the void within it. The creation process in singer's first lab shows fleshy growths as part of the refining process, plus the fact that purple means void most of the time. It's also why the side effects (like you see in ep 6) are large void growths on the body. Look at the glasses guys head in ep 6, that's not normal tumors. It's void-esque. And then, when the hexcore takes in shimmer as a enhancement for Victor's leg being fixed, and then takes in biomass from Sky being absorbed as sacrifice for Victor's hand being fixed, it becomes void-esque.
@@zephloe this isn't new lore. Yes I think this is true, but saying that it's new lore is crazy. For now it's just a theory, we don't have any official face to confirm that it is actually new lore. So stop gaslighting people with those loud ah titles.
Kindred's voicelines are still the most magnificent thing in league even to those days. But no matter how cool they are they're a bit outdated by lore. IF they will check them some day, I hope they will be provided with renewed info about them, and not gonna be mislead into thinking that they're death itself.

@@Reaperkitty918 i know but its unlikly they watch an explaination video. Also its way more rewarding to realize: "Hey i know what he is talking about" then: "haha he sounds scary, i have no idea what hes talking about let me look it up"
Fiddlestick rework actually was an amazing one - now he is really scary. There is some of his voicelines, where he adresses champaions fears. Also he cant actually speak for himself, he only repeats sounds which he heard from his victims. And i meantioned it in one of ur Arcane reactions, there is possibility that crows follows Jinx cause of him. As for the Void, that u can call an another region - dark, twisted reality that slowly devours world of Runeterra. Also, with Belveth representing its... sentient life, the Void now mostly rebels agains its creators, the Watchers, and now have its own goals. There is still a lot to react for regarding League of Legends universe, but i sincerely hope that u will react to 4 main cinematics (Call, Still Here, Awaken and Warriors) quite soon. Good luck and have fun!)))
Yeah, Fiddlesticks' rework basically took him from Wizard of Oz to the Necronomicon in a single update, and they manage to work that into the game with him repeating characters' death lines back to them, or by giving him 'just walking around' voice lines like "See? It's just a scarecrow. Nothing to be afraid of." I also love the aesthetic of him basically being possessed garbage that's cobbled together to be human-like, because it sort of explains most of the skins: it's not a completely different thing, it's just the same demon possessing a different pile of crap.
@@lxlYukilxl swain has ravens though, rather than crows. You can also tell if a raven belongs to him because they have 3 eyes. check his splashart and lore.
just wanna mention that the singer of amumus song ist christian linke...whos is also the show runner of arcane, the reason we had arcane, and the reason we have get jinxed, rise, KD/A Popstars.
I found your channel recently, and I binged all the arcane reaction in one sitting, have to say youre definetely one of my favorite reactors! The attention to details you had and your "reasoning skills" were top notch! Kudos to your editor as well amazing job! Now not sure if someone provides those videos for you or you just go into it by yourselves, but I DEMAND (jk of course just really really hope) that in this journey youre in you will actually get to experience (and we alongside you) the amazing alt universe thats Star Guardians (think league magical girl anime), which was the first time Riot made people excited at the prospect of them releasing an anime show.
AWW! 🥹 thanks so much for the support! We genuinely love Arcane and all the League content, and I'm glad you like our reviews! We are following our editor's playlists, who we trust completely! The lineup our editor provided us has been in perfect order imo, and we've been enjoying every minute of it. Star Guardians reaction coming soon heheh 😏
The beatiful voice that sings "Curse of the Sad Mummy" is one of the main producer of Arcane: Christian Linke. He made us cry for almost a decade with a lot of beatiful creations for Riot.
The editor should not have included the All That Will Ever Be video on this list, because it should have been watched after The Call video to help you understand what is going on.
The problem is that in the future they are going to react to the season cinematics, so this video wasnt going to be a follow-up of "the call", i think the same thing is going to apply to the music videos, opening ceremonies etc.
@blazehnt ;) Just this. I appreciate you! Plus, it's open to interpretation where in line All That Will Ever Be is on the timeline in comparison to The Call - if you're familiar with the lore stories, the city of Bel'Veth is in South Shurima, whereas the events in The Call occur in the far North Shurima. Not that tunnels couldn't stretch that far, but given the events of Hollowspun and Pinwheel (stories that flesh out what happen in The Call and All...Be) you also get the sense these events happen separately. I won't lean on Necrit's explanation for this, but I agree that it's also very unlikely to be one event right after the other. I know it was confusing especially because Bel'Veth's trailer was released later in the year following the Call...but yeah.
@@hungryrabbiddawg Why do you still wonder about the continuity of All that will ever be in the timeline when it is so obvious? I'm not sure what Necrit said in his video, but the location of the city of Belveth on the map has no bearing on this at all. Everything in All that will ever be takes place in Lavender sea, which contains everything that has been swallowed by The Void, so even if something is swallowed somewhere else, it will gather here. , a place located in the heart of The Void. Bel'veth's biography makes that clear.
@@MeGame123Thats true! Forgot about the Lavender Sea. I might have to rethink when it happens then. This cinematic serves to be more useful to them now as a layup to introduce them to Kai'Sa and the Void still. We aren't going through every cinematic (wish we could) and this was the best cinematic to lead with before diving into more with these champs/the Void. We're saving The Call for last, and given how much fun they had with this intro to Kai'Sa, I'm sure they'll find this context on their own. It's been an awesome experience to watch them go down the rabbit hole so it's sure to be rewarding now that they know of the Void.
Maybe when they watch the call, it can be put on the editor's notes the relation of these two videos and that there is a short story about the conversation right after the belveth trailer ends.
It's been speculated that shimmer is derived from void-touched creatures (remember Rio, that one mutated lizard Singed and Viktor were taking care of). Singed even says, "the mutation must survive," implying he's been experimenting on Rio ever since. Also, on that episode where Vi and Jayce fought the chemtanks, you can see Vi destroying one of the shimmer vats containing some sort of creature inside. I'm hoping Riot goes crazy with how they connect all the dots from Arcane to the bigger stories and world-ending events across Runeterra.
May be spoilers, but some of this predates Arcane so it might not even be canon anymore. The nation/city of Zaun that the people of the undercity say they are from, is based on the old Shuriman port city of Oshra Va'zaun, which exists in the deepest parts of the undercities mines but is mostly underwater. Oshra Va'zaun was sunk during the Darkin wars after the void war, and is hinted to contain void contaminated artifacts and weapons sealed inside. It was during Piltover's ill fated attempt to create a canal through the city to connect the eastern and western seas, that half of the city collapsed into the ocean. Countless people drowned, but many people also died to what is widely believed to be a chemtech malfunction which spread toxic fumes. In reality it might actually be void corruption leaking into the water, which was sprayed around during the giant waves and tides, as half of piltover sank into the water and two different seas clashed together. The void corruption leaking from Oshra Va'zaun might be where the purple flowers and Rio - the 'mutation' that Singed and Viktor are looking after - came from. If shimmer is being manufactured from distilled void corruption juice, that would explain its mutagenic effects and great power and madness it afflicts people with. It would also explain how twisted the Hexcore is becoming, and why Viktor looks like he has void touched limbs like Kai'sa.
@@ejmakibelo3224 yea, could also be the flowers that's causing it. But seing that the belveth cinematic also depicts plants with hands and such looking corrupted, the void's reach might not be limited to animals but to flora as well.
Fiddlesticks is a demon of fear and the most intresting part about him (imo) is that he cant actually speak. He can only mimic sounds from those he kills and peoples fears. So EVERY SINGLE VOICELINE he has in game is litterally only the last thing people has said before they died, or lines reminding others of their deepest fears. So please check out his voicelines if you're intrested! (His music theme is also amazing, using actual screams in it)
It's funny how you guys pointed out that Rakkan is the more vibrant in color one, bc in bird world the male birds are the more colorful ones to catch the eye of the female with their feathers and mating dance, that's why Xayah is more dark and monochrome and he's more colorful and the reason he was dancing with the enemies lol
For context about Rakan & Xayah (the 2 bird vastaya) Xayah is a rebel who is fight for a cause (something about her people/land being exploited) and Rakad was a performer/ entertainer. When they first met Xayah didn't like Rakan since he's literally the opposite of what she is fighting for, being an entertainment to the people who exploits them. Rakan however fell in love with Xayah and left his job to follow her around
3:07 her mom was a powerfull mage so thats why Annie also has these abilities and that teddy bear,tibbers is made by her mom as far as i know :3 also Fiddlesticks is the most powerfull demon in Runettera universe
The void is their lovecraft inspired region It's where you'll find a lot of tentacles, alien-like things and weirdness in general And everything you find there kinda wants to "eat" you for one reason or another
After the season 2 trailer, i strongly believe in the Void Viktor theory! His new body looks so much like Kai'sa's symbiotic body as you guys mentioned, and many scenes of Viktor with the hexcore can parallel to how the void is represented (purple hues and the never-ending hunger for something that it doesn't even know what it is, destruction of life to create new forms of life in its distorted way)
I would recommend watching Necrit's lore videos if you haven't already. He has so many videos on the lore, over 500 I think and they are really interesting
I would second this and recommend the "the world of riots mmo is already done" video. While it is kind of a hype vid for the mmo it just covers a load of league lore really well with some fantastic imagery (mostly snaffled from LoR I think).
i just came across this channel and watched your reaction to "Tales of Runeterra"... i HIGHLY recommend watching Necrit's Videos about the Riot MMO, the first video is about the general lore of each place and the others are also awesome.
You catch a lot of stuff and connect dots other people normally miss or skim over. Shen and Zed being connected, or Victor, shimmer, and the void are some examples. People love watching you react to League content because we can tell you actually enjoy it as well. Not just because it's your highest viewed series. Especially since a lot of this stuff has nothing to do with Arcane. We can only assume they are going to make this stuff canon now. But we have no idea since they rebooted the canon after Arcane to make it fit. Basically everything since Arcane that has come out has been made with the "new canon" in mind and it all fits together. Anything before might need tweaks here and there to fit the new canon universe. Just like they did with the Arcane characters. You guys are awesome at reacting to these. You guys have quickly become 1 of my favorite reactors on YT. You guys are so wholesome, down to earth, and smart. When you guys react to something I enjoy also, I'm always stoked. Thanks.
Lol the music is a lot more uplifting once you get to KDA and pentakill. But yah, these are some of my favourites because as you said, it’s more intriguing. Love the reactions, excited for part 2!
Woot 2k subs in 2 weeks. LEague fans unite. Yeah kai'sa is one of my favorite characters to play. so much fun. Just wait you''ll see more of her, and her rocking body
I would point out, that if you look closely at Amumu's video, you'll see the real curse. It's not fading to black at the edge of the screen, he's literally killing all life within like 20-30 feet. You can really see it right before the ledge scene after he pops out of the flower.
did you know that the amumu song was sang, animated and produced (basicalla all of it) by christian linke? producer of arcane that was his first work with riot games.
I Love that you also check out the champions after checking out the cinematics. I do hope you just scroll down a bit more and check out their different skins. I think Riot did really well with a lot of their different skin lines.
OOOH MAN ok! Apologies if this is all info you already know.. Fiddlesticks has multiple features which highlight him(?) as one of the most interesting (and terrifying) characters in the lore. For starters, Fiddle has very little story of his own. Most characters have hopes and motivations conveyed through their voicelines in game or in their character bio. Not so for Fiddle. For Fiddlesticks, all we get are stories about other people. Think of him like Runeterra's boogeyman. You don't hear many stories about the boogeyman so much as you hear about the things the boogeyman does to people. There are four kinds of voicelines Fiddlesticks has. The first set is character specific. He basically has key things he croaks out that highlight the deepest fears of an enemy champion he encounters and/or kills in game. These can be particularly chilling as they are often things no one should know. It's debatable if Fiddlesticks actually knows what he's doing or if it's an instinctual action to draw out the fear in his victims. The second type of voiceline is demon specific. When Fiddle encounters an enemy champion who is a demon, or inhabited by a demon, he will say their name. This might be because in many kinds of lore knowing the name of a demon grants one power over them, so demons fear mortals learning their names. It is possible that this too is Fiddlesticks demonstrating that everyone, even demons, are potential victims of fear. The third set of voicelines are fragments of a children's rhyme and one of the only instances of self reference. Loosely collected, it goes something like this: "High above the rotten rows. Cloth and metal. Teeth and crows." "Through the fields. Down the lane. Voices never heard again." Fiddlesticks, end of men. Fiddlesticks, first of ten!" The fourth kind of voiceline, and arguably the best, are his generic voicelines. These take the form of tiny, one or two sentence short stories. Horror stories made only more gruesome by the context that these are things said by Fiddle's victims in their final moments. Like a crow, Fiddle simply mimics these sounds to inspire fear and unsettle those he hunts. If you haven't heard them before, I highly recommend checking them out. They're a wonderful example of scary stories said with as few words as possible. And this gets to the heart of the character. Fiddlesticks is literally made of the stories of what happened to other people. You learn next to nothing about Fiddle himself while learning about how terrifying it can be to be hunted by him. In one of Fiddle's bios, it explains that every culture has stories about this entity. Every single one. If you got people from five different cities spread across Runeterra, sat them all down at the same campfire and told them all a story of a thing that stalks people in the night, croaking in the stolen voices of the dead and taking the shape of a lobsided scarecrow, there is an excellent chance most if not all of those people would know the ghost story you're talking about. They would each say there were small details that were different, or different origin stories, but it would undeniably be the same thing. More over, Fiddlesticks is impossibly ancient. Most of these stories are handed down generation after generation. In canon, Fiddlesticks is one of the oldest entities in the setting. Some of the most powerful champions in game recognize that Fiddlesticks is not something to be taken lightly. This means that, disturbingly, there is nowhere to hide from this thing. Piltover, Demacia, the Lost Isles, it doesn't matter. He can find you anywhere because he is *everywhere.* He can get you at any point in history because he has always *been* there. There's no character to save you because no matter how powerful or ancient they are, odds are he was something even they heard scary stories about as a kid. Realistically, Fiddle would never make an appearance in Arcane's Piltover story because it's just not that kind of show.. but it's important that you know that technically *he is there in the setting somewhere.* Somewhere in Zaun is a pile of scrap that curiously resembles a scarecrow and no one will know who built it. Somewhere in the extensive Piltover library is an old tome that references disappearances of whole neighborhoods during a time of fear. Those crows that seem to follow around Jinx? Not necessarily all of them are real crows.
I hope you check out the As We Fall Varus Music video. It's pretty intense to see how Varus became what he is in-game. I played varus for a long time not knowing his lore then this video comes out and it blows my mind. League lore is very interesting.
We actually need a show or a short film with Fiddle in it as the monster. It has so much potential for true dread, and not JUST jumpscares every 5 minutes
I know it's kind of late but since you already knew fiddlestick, you really should react to his voiceline. It is one of the best imo. Kindred's voicelines also on thw list.
Tybaulk is the name of the demon inside annie's bear (the demon of fire) He makes his victims to be consumed by fire (which happened to Annie's original mother) but he doesn't do it to Annie because he considers her "special".
After you explore the character trailers you should check out the voicelines. A lot of characters reference each other so it's best to know most of the roster before jumping in
The Baddie is kai'sa you Will see her quiet a lot on the cinematic lol. She was on Warrior, The Call, and also the member of K/DA (league kpop group). Someone has mentions this but watching the call first before Bel'Veth cinematic would be better to understand why Kai'sa down there
Riot Ganes loves their puns. Xayah and Rakan are bird people because they're love birds. Also, Xayah is the bird of prey and Rakan is the bird of paradise!
Amumu is most definitely the saddest character in all of leagues lore. He is cursed that anything near or that touches him will die or fall to ruin, the curse is so strong that not even death itself will come near him, making him immortal. So for 1000s of years he has been in a constant state of misery and anguish with no hope of ever escaping his fate, he can't even kill himself to end his misery. Its honestly quite dark and sad that there seems to be no resolution for him and his endless misery.
Bel'Veth is not another void creature like the other void champions like Rek'sai or Vel'koz. She is the void. Technically, there are two voids and both are against each other. One is from the watchers, who are using it to destroy the world. All of the void champions, except one, are actually a part of that void, and oppose Bel'Veth. Bel'Veth doesn't want to destroy the world but corrupt everything with the void. The only champion that follows her is Malzahar, a human seer who heard her voice and is now following her. His job is to feed the void, which he does by creating cults and using them as fodder. What is find nice about her design is that it is like an angler fish, with her fake human head being the lure. You can actually see it as a fake in the cinematic as her mouth doesn't match her words.
"Kai'sa is the only one knowned to have survived the void tunnels". That's... Not entirely true. While it's been age it was updated, a champion named Kassadin is also able to navigate the void and hunt void creatures. (Speculated to also be Kai'sa's father)
Imo Aatrox voicelines and special interactions are the best in the game. The voice actor absolutely nailed everything about his character. Climb-> Awaken -> Warriors -> The Call -> Still Here
The thing about birds (IRL) is that the males are always the pretty ones while the females tend to be more toned down. The males do the dances and calls to attract their female mates. That is the inspiration behind Rakan being very bright and showboat-y and colorfull compared to Xayah's more subdued reds
I think Darius got some good videos you can look into. Also Aatrox voicelines are just amazing, Azir and sharima got a whole storyline with epic videos etc. Rest of the cinematics are just getting better from this point except 2023
Annie is not a mage. She is manifested by the demon of fire, Tybaulk aka Tibbers. Tybaulk used to serve for Mordekaiser, the Iron Revenant when he rules over Noxus. When Mordekaiser was killed, LeBlanc, the Deciever captured him.
You'd probably like the K/DA music videos. Riot made a virtual k-pop band out of league characters, and had Fortiche animate music videos for them. I'm pretty far from a k-pop fan, but even I think they're pretty cool.
11:14 "I wanna give him a hug." I wouldn't do that if I were u.

As for the Void, that u can call an another region - dark, twisted reality that slowly devours world of Runeterra. Also, with Belveth representing its... sentient life, the Void now mostly rebels agains its creators, the Watchers, and now have its own goals.
There is still a lot to react for regarding League of Legends universe, but i sincerely hope that u will react to 4 main cinematics (Call, Still Here, Awaken and Warriors) quite soon. Good luck and have fun!)))
Yeah, Fiddlesticks' rework basically took him from Wizard of Oz to the Necronomicon in a single update, and they manage to work that into the game with him repeating characters' death lines back to them, or by giving him 'just walking around' voice lines like "See? It's just a scarecrow. Nothing to be afraid of."
I also love the aesthetic of him basically being possessed garbage that's cobbled together to be human-like, because it sort of explains most of the skins: it's not a completely different thing, it's just the same demon possessing a different pile of crap.
I feel the crow belong to swain instead
@@lxlYukilxl swain has ravens though, rather than crows. You can also tell if a raven belongs to him because they have 3 eyes. check his splashart and lore.
just wanna mention that the singer of amumus song ist christian linke...whos is also the show runner of arcane, the reason we had arcane, and the reason we have get jinxed, rise, KD/A Popstars.
I found your channel recently, and I binged all the arcane reaction in one sitting, have to say youre definetely one of my favorite reactors! The attention to details you had and your "reasoning skills" were top notch! Kudos to your editor as well amazing job!
Now not sure if someone provides those videos for you or you just go into it by yourselves, but I DEMAND (jk of course just really really hope) that in this journey youre in you will actually get to experience (and we alongside you) the amazing alt universe thats Star Guardians (think league magical girl anime), which was the first time Riot made people excited at the prospect of them releasing an anime show.
;)
AWW! 🥹 thanks so much for the support! We genuinely love Arcane and all the League content, and I'm glad you like our reviews! We are following our editor's playlists, who we trust completely! The lineup our editor provided us has been in perfect order imo, and we've been enjoying every minute of it. Star Guardians reaction coming soon heheh 😏
I just wanna comment on the beauty of the animation in annie and curse of the sad mummy. It's so incredibly well done
The beatiful voice that sings "Curse of the Sad Mummy" is one of the main producer of Arcane: Christian Linke. He made us cry for almost a decade with a lot of beatiful creations for Riot.
Fun fact: Before joining Riot he was the lead singer in a German punk band
As Kai'sa's helmet came off
I knew they would call her a baddie
The editor should not have included the All That Will Ever Be video on this list, because it should have been watched after The Call video to help you understand what is going on.
The problem is that in the future they are going to react to the season cinematics, so this video wasnt going to be a follow-up of "the call", i think the same thing is going to apply to the music videos, opening ceremonies etc.
@blazehnt ;) Just this. I appreciate you!
Plus, it's open to interpretation where in line All That Will Ever Be is on the timeline in comparison to The Call - if you're familiar with the lore stories, the city of Bel'Veth is in South Shurima, whereas the events in The Call occur in the far North Shurima. Not that tunnels couldn't stretch that far, but given the events of Hollowspun and Pinwheel (stories that flesh out what happen in The Call and All...Be) you also get the sense these events happen separately. I won't lean on Necrit's explanation for this, but I agree that it's also very unlikely to be one event right after the other.
I know it was confusing especially because Bel'Veth's trailer was released later in the year following the Call...but yeah.
@@hungryrabbiddawg Why do you still wonder about the continuity of All that will ever be in the timeline when it is so obvious? I'm not sure what Necrit said in his video, but the location of the city of Belveth on the map has no bearing on this at all. Everything in All that will ever be takes place in Lavender sea, which contains everything that has been swallowed by The Void, so even if something is swallowed somewhere else, it will gather here. , a place located in the heart of The Void. Bel'veth's biography makes that clear.
@@MeGame123Thats true! Forgot about the Lavender Sea. I might have to rethink when it happens then.
This cinematic serves to be more useful to them now as a layup to introduce them to Kai'Sa and the Void still. We aren't going through every cinematic (wish we could) and this was the best cinematic to lead with before diving into more with these champs/the Void. We're saving The Call for last, and given how much fun they had with this intro to Kai'Sa, I'm sure they'll find this context on their own.
It's been an awesome experience to watch them go down the rabbit hole so it's sure to be rewarding now that they know of the Void.
Maybe when they watch the call, it can be put on the editor's notes the relation of these two videos and that there is a short story about the conversation right after the belveth trailer ends.
It's been speculated that shimmer is derived from void-touched creatures (remember Rio, that one mutated lizard Singed and Viktor were taking care of). Singed even says, "the mutation must survive," implying he's been experimenting on Rio ever since. Also, on that episode where Vi and Jayce fought the chemtanks, you can see Vi destroying one of the shimmer vats containing some sort of creature inside.
I'm hoping Riot goes crazy with how they connect all the dots from Arcane to the bigger stories and world-ending events across Runeterra.
i think its less about the mutation and more about the cave with the purple flowers.
the creatures name is Rio, and the tank Vi destroyed only had shimmer in it
May be spoilers, but some of this predates Arcane so it might not even be canon anymore.
The nation/city of Zaun that the people of the undercity say they are from, is based on the old Shuriman port city of Oshra Va'zaun, which exists in the deepest parts of the undercities mines but is mostly underwater.
Oshra Va'zaun was sunk during the Darkin wars after the void war, and is hinted to contain void contaminated artifacts and weapons sealed inside. It was during Piltover's ill fated attempt to create a canal through the city to connect the eastern and western seas, that half of the city collapsed into the ocean. Countless people drowned, but many people also died to what is widely believed to be a chemtech malfunction which spread toxic fumes. In reality it might actually be void corruption leaking into the water, which was sprayed around during the giant waves and tides, as half of piltover sank into the water and two different seas clashed together.
The void corruption leaking from Oshra Va'zaun might be where the purple flowers and Rio - the 'mutation' that Singed and Viktor are looking after - came from. If shimmer is being manufactured from distilled void corruption juice, that would explain its mutagenic effects and great power and madness it afflicts people with. It would also explain how twisted the Hexcore is becoming, and why Viktor looks like he has void touched limbs like Kai'sa.
@@andoobs2 yep, my bad. I think I mixed it up while thinking about the Necrit's theory that arcane Singed's daughter was Orianna.
@@ejmakibelo3224 yea, could also be the flowers that's causing it. But seing that the belveth cinematic also depicts plants with hands and such looking corrupted, the void's reach might not be limited to animals but to flora as well.
Fiddlesticks is a demon of fear and the most intresting part about him (imo) is that he cant actually speak. He can only mimic sounds from those he kills and peoples fears. So EVERY SINGLE VOICELINE he has in game is litterally only the last thing people has said before they died, or lines reminding others of their deepest fears. So please check out his voicelines if you're intrested! (His music theme is also amazing, using actual screams in it)
I love the back and forth of Meesh trying to downplay Dee's constant thirst for the characters. Such a cute dynamic.
It's funny how you guys pointed out that Rakkan is the more vibrant in color one, bc in bird world the male birds are the more colorful ones to catch the eye of the female with their feathers and mating dance, that's why Xayah is more dark and monochrome and he's more colorful and the reason he was dancing with the enemies lol
I believe that the Bel'veth cinematic is happening right after "The Call" cinematic.😅
For context about Rakan & Xayah (the 2 bird vastaya)
Xayah is a rebel who is fight for a cause (something about her people/land being exploited) and Rakad was a performer/ entertainer.
When they first met Xayah didn't like Rakan since he's literally the opposite of what she is fighting for, being an entertainment to the people who exploits them. Rakan however fell in love with Xayah and left his job to follow her around
only a few reactors seem to notice amumu's curse killing every plantlife around him throughout the cinematic
3:07 her mom was a powerfull mage so thats why Annie also has these abilities and that teddy bear,tibbers is made by her mom as far as i know :3
also Fiddlesticks is the most powerfull demon in Runettera universe
21:12 , you must listen the theme, (fiddlesticks the ancient fear)
The curse of the sad mummy made me cry the first time I watched it.
The fact that Bel'veth's dash is like a blink terrifies me this show how you can say that she is deadly fast.
Honestly Fiddlesticks voice line are a must watch and his music video/concept art video his just too good to miss
There's a demon in the teddy bear. Its name is Tybaulk. He was sealed in Annie's mom, and she transferred it into the plush toy before she died.
The void is their lovecraft inspired region
It's where you'll find a lot of tentacles, alien-like things and weirdness in general
And everything you find there kinda wants to "eat" you for one reason or another
There's a woodland creature named Daisy in game controlled by another woodland creature. It is said Daisy died and turned into the creature.
After the season 2 trailer, i strongly believe in the Void Viktor theory! His new body looks so much like Kai'sa's symbiotic body as you guys mentioned, and many scenes of Viktor with the hexcore can parallel to how the void is represented (purple hues and the never-ending hunger for something that it doesn't even know what it is, destruction of life to create new forms of life in its distorted way)
I would recommend watching Necrit's lore videos if you haven't already. He has so many videos on the lore, over 500 I think and they are really interesting
I would second this and recommend the "the world of riots mmo is already done" video. While it is kind of a hype vid for the mmo it just covers a load of league lore really well with some fantastic imagery (mostly snaffled from LoR I think).
Yeah for the older champions they'll periodically re-work them, which is great. They get a fresh look, new abilities and are usually stronger
i just came across this channel and watched your reaction to "Tales of Runeterra"... i HIGHLY recommend watching Necrit's Videos about the Riot MMO, the first video is about the general lore of each place and the others are also awesome.
You catch a lot of stuff and connect dots other people normally miss or skim over. Shen and Zed being connected, or Victor, shimmer, and the void are some examples. People love watching you react to League content because we can tell you actually enjoy it as well. Not just because it's your highest viewed series. Especially since a lot of this stuff has nothing to do with Arcane. We can only assume they are going to make this stuff canon now. But we have no idea since they rebooted the canon after Arcane to make it fit. Basically everything since Arcane that has come out has been made with the "new canon" in mind and it all fits together. Anything before might need tweaks here and there to fit the new canon universe. Just like they did with the Arcane characters. You guys are awesome at reacting to these. You guys have quickly become 1 of my favorite reactors on YT. You guys are so wholesome, down to earth, and smart. When you guys react to something I enjoy also, I'm always stoked. Thanks.
I love the fact that the creator of Arcane sang "The Curse of The Sad Mummy"
Lol the music is a lot more uplifting once you get to KDA and pentakill. But yah, these are some of my favourites because as you said, it’s more intriguing. Love the reactions, excited for part 2!
heey almost all of my favorite cinematics 🥰
Woot 2k subs in 2 weeks. LEague fans unite. Yeah kai'sa is one of my favorite characters to play. so much fun. Just wait you''ll see more of her, and her rocking body
🎉❤️❤️
I love you ladies. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! 💞
I would point out, that if you look closely at Amumu's video, you'll see the real curse. It's not fading to black at the edge of the screen, he's literally killing all life within like 20-30 feet. You can really see it right before the ledge scene after he pops out of the flower.
Remember Xayah and Rakan for when you watch "Everything goes on" :D
did you know that the amumu song was sang, animated and produced (basicalla all of it) by christian linke? producer of arcane that was his first work with riot games.
I Love that you also check out the champions after checking out the cinematics. I do hope you just scroll down a bit more and check out their different skins. I think Riot did really well with a lot of their different skin lines.
The song Curse of the sad mummy was sung by Christian Linke the creator of Arcane
You guys should really check out The Call cinematic, the Bel Veth teaser is somewhat of a continuation of that cinematic
OOOH MAN ok! Apologies if this is all info you already know..
Fiddlesticks has multiple features which highlight him(?) as one of the most interesting (and terrifying) characters in the lore. For starters, Fiddle has very little story of his own. Most characters have hopes and motivations conveyed through their voicelines in game or in their character bio. Not so for Fiddle. For Fiddlesticks, all we get are stories about other people. Think of him like Runeterra's boogeyman. You don't hear many stories about the boogeyman so much as you hear about the things the boogeyman does to people.
There are four kinds of voicelines Fiddlesticks has.
The first set is character specific. He basically has key things he croaks out that highlight the deepest fears of an enemy champion he encounters and/or kills in game. These can be particularly chilling as they are often things no one should know. It's debatable if Fiddlesticks actually knows what he's doing or if it's an instinctual action to draw out the fear in his victims.
The second type of voiceline is demon specific. When Fiddle encounters an enemy champion who is a demon, or inhabited by a demon, he will say their name. This might be because in many kinds of lore knowing the name of a demon grants one power over them, so demons fear mortals learning their names. It is possible that this too is Fiddlesticks demonstrating that everyone, even demons, are potential victims of fear.
The third set of voicelines are fragments of a children's rhyme and one of the only instances of self reference. Loosely collected, it goes something like this:
"High above the rotten rows. Cloth and metal. Teeth and crows."
"Through the fields. Down the lane. Voices never heard again."
Fiddlesticks, end of men. Fiddlesticks, first of ten!"
The fourth kind of voiceline, and arguably the best, are his generic voicelines. These take the form of tiny, one or two sentence short stories. Horror stories made only more gruesome by the context that these are things said by Fiddle's victims in their final moments. Like a crow, Fiddle simply mimics these sounds to inspire fear and unsettle those he hunts. If you haven't heard them before, I highly recommend checking them out. They're a wonderful example of scary stories said with as few words as possible.
And this gets to the heart of the character. Fiddlesticks is literally made of the stories of what happened to other people. You learn next to nothing about Fiddle himself while learning about how terrifying it can be to be hunted by him.
In one of Fiddle's bios, it explains that every culture has stories about this entity. Every single one. If you got people from five different cities spread across Runeterra, sat them all down at the same campfire and told them all a story of a thing that stalks people in the night, croaking in the stolen voices of the dead and taking the shape of a lobsided scarecrow, there is an excellent chance most if not all of those people would know the ghost story you're talking about. They would each say there were small details that were different, or different origin stories, but it would undeniably be the same thing.
More over, Fiddlesticks is impossibly ancient. Most of these stories are handed down generation after generation. In canon, Fiddlesticks is one of the oldest entities in the setting. Some of the most powerful champions in game recognize that Fiddlesticks is not something to be taken lightly.
This means that, disturbingly, there is nowhere to hide from this thing. Piltover, Demacia, the Lost Isles, it doesn't matter. He can find you anywhere because he is *everywhere.* He can get you at any point in history because he has always *been* there. There's no character to save you because no matter how powerful or ancient they are, odds are he was something even they heard scary stories about as a kid.
Realistically, Fiddle would never make an appearance in Arcane's Piltover story because it's just not that kind of show.. but it's important that you know that technically *he is there in the setting somewhere.* Somewhere in Zaun is a pile of scrap that curiously resembles a scarecrow and no one will know who built it. Somewhere in the extensive Piltover library is an old tome that references disappearances of whole neighborhoods during a time of fear. Those crows that seem to follow around Jinx? Not necessarily all of them are real crows.
I hope you check out the As We Fall Varus Music video. It's pretty intense to see how Varus became what he is in-game. I played varus for a long time not knowing his lore then this video comes out and it blows my mind. League lore is very interesting.
can't wait to see your reaction to "the call" ^^
That's stepmom and the bear was her real mother's last remaining momento gift before she died
We actually need a show or a short film with Fiddle in it as the monster. It has so much potential for true dread, and not JUST jumpscares every 5 minutes
I know it's kind of late but since you already knew fiddlestick, you really should react to his voiceline. It is one of the best imo.
Kindred's voicelines also on thw list.
Can't wait for the next one!
Meesh & Dee Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
Tybaulk is the name of the demon inside annie's bear (the demon of fire)
He makes his victims to be consumed by fire (which happened to Annie's original mother) but he doesn't do it to Annie because he considers her "special".
After you explore the character trailers you should check out the voicelines. A lot of characters reference each other so it's best to know most of the roster before jumping in
I become emotional everytime I listen to Amumu song,,,
Cant wait for yall to react to music videos!! especially KDA! Kaisa is a member there!
The Baddie is kai'sa you Will see her quiet a lot on the cinematic lol. She was on Warrior, The Call, and also the member of K/DA (league kpop group).
Someone has mentions this but watching the call first before Bel'Veth cinematic would be better to understand why Kai'sa down there
you should check out story of league of legends explained by necrit.
Riot Ganes loves their puns. Xayah and Rakan are bird people because they're love birds. Also, Xayah is the bird of prey and Rakan is the bird of paradise!
Amumu is most definitely the saddest character in all of leagues lore. He is cursed that anything near or that touches him will die or fall to ruin, the curse is so strong that not even death itself will come near him, making him immortal. So for 1000s of years he has been in a constant state of misery and anguish with no hope of ever escaping his fate, he can't even kill himself to end his misery. Its honestly quite dark and sad that there seems to be no resolution for him and his endless misery.
The blonde woman is not Annie’s mom . We saw from Annie’s drawings that her mom is dead and buried.
Bel'Veth is not another void creature like the other void champions like Rek'sai or Vel'koz. She is the void. Technically, there are two voids and both are against each other. One is from the watchers, who are using it to destroy the world. All of the void champions, except one, are actually a part of that void, and oppose Bel'Veth. Bel'Veth doesn't want to destroy the world but corrupt everything with the void. The only champion that follows her is Malzahar, a human seer who heard her voice and is now following her. His job is to feed the void, which he does by creating cults and using them as fodder.
What is find nice about her design is that it is like an angler fish, with her fake human head being the lure. You can actually see it as a fake in the cinematic as her mouth doesn't match her words.
Yessss more league content!!!
"Kai'sa is the only one knowned to have survived the void tunnels". That's... Not entirely true. While it's been age it was updated, a champion named Kassadin is also able to navigate the void and hunt void creatures. (Speculated to also be Kai'sa's father)
Annie - Daisy was an accident. Dad was a self-sacrifice. Her step-mom? Well that was just a plain stupid self-termination.
Yo i recommend light and shadow music video the song is really really good !!!
Imo Aatrox voicelines and special interactions are the best in the game. The voice actor absolutely nailed everything about his character.
Climb-> Awaken -> Warriors -> The Call -> Still Here
Fiddlesticks champion theme!
The thing about birds (IRL) is that the males are always the pretty ones while the females tend to be more toned down. The males do the dances and calls to attract their female mates. That is the inspiration behind Rakan being very bright and showboat-y and colorfull compared to Xayah's more subdued reds
Amazing videos and reaction. More please! ❤
I think Darius got some good videos you can look into. Also Aatrox voicelines are just amazing, Azir and sharima got a whole storyline with epic videos etc. Rest of the cinematics are just getting better from this point except 2023
Highly recommend you to watch Ruination > Before Dawn > Story so far > Absolution
My beloved Kai'Sa❤
Hey Meesh and Dee,
Watched your videos about LOL,
After Arcane s2 which champions would you like to see?
The problem with Annie is that her dad didn't do anything impactful to stop the mom
That's maybe because he does love his wife...
Wdym? What was he supposed to do?
I don't understand what he should have done. If that accident with Daisy wouldn't have happened, things would have been fine
Kai'sa cinematic shows right after THE CALL cinematic
wait, what order are these being watched/recommended to you in? Because there is an actual order to some of these lore-wise
light and shadow next :D
Kai'sa is the coolest character in the League and one of my favorite. We will see her in 2020 and 2022 cinematics.
they did my boy zed so dirty, i get they wanted to show off the new champions but they would've got smoked so quick
Silencio todos que ya empezó mi serie favorita!!!!
I can't wait until you get to the extra LOL stuff that Caitlyn and Vi are in❤️❤️
Hmm Kai'Sa is the Baddest, you say? ;)
Annie is not a mage. She is manifested by the demon of fire, Tybaulk aka Tibbers. Tybaulk used to serve for Mordekaiser, the Iron Revenant when he rules over Noxus. When Mordekaiser was killed, LeBlanc, the Deciever captured him.
No she is a mage Tibbers has his own separate magic site but she is still a mage by herself.
Runeterra is a large universe like Marvel or DC. Regions and stories in Arcane are so little compared to rest of the world.
Annie cant really control her powers, its just comes out when she feels strong emotions.
I am so confused how Amumu gave "dia de los muertos" vibes.
Rakan and Xayah are without a doubt switch.
You really should react to falconsheild This is War series ( they are league regions battle rap music videos )
Qould love for you to react to Fiddlesticks voicelines
Dont forget to watch "As We Fall"
When riot care about their champs
Not just strong female lead 😊
Lady’s you have to react to music videos like “Rise” “Awaken” and of course KD/A songs 😊
React to rakkan and xayah interaction!!!
waiting for your reaction to League's music groups: PENTAKILL, K/DA, TRUE DAMAGE, and HEARTSTEEL.
You'd probably like the K/DA music videos. Riot made a virtual k-pop band out of league characters, and had Fortiche animate music videos for them. I'm pretty far from a k-pop fan, but even I think they're pretty cool.
