    I LOVE how the whole song kept to storyline and ended with Shen, Zed, and Akali! I'd at least hoped for Badmin to come back, but not ONLY did I get that, but also Shara AND Rawb?! I'm so fucking grateful I looked into TIW7 to find it was still coming out. Now to put it on repeat until I memorize the song. This is an out-fucking-standing Christmas gift! Thank you Falconshield, all parties involved, and the fans for funding this great work!

    • @Narutokun11
      @Narutokun11 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I mean, Riot has revised and re-written the lore several times. It doesn't matter that it doesn't match with what is clearly still a largely changing lore scheme. Besides, I wasn't talking about League's storyline, I was referring to the narrative the vid built within itself. Each of the TIW vids have established a narrative that wasn't perfectly in line with League's lore, that's part of what makes the vids great imo.

      For sure, Riot did a great job of turning the conflict from good vs evil to deontology vs utilitarianism with the comic, and the song made good use of that.

    I don't mean this to sound rude, I just don't know another way to put it.
    i think some of the voices did not really match the person they were representing, that's not me saying they are bad but compared to all the other wars it feels disconnected. it might even just be the tempo but the only voice that really felt right was Jhins.
    Another thing I think needs work is the tempo pacing of each champion. Zed’s part (the first one) felt nice, it carried on without dragging on. It had a few joke/pop culture references but quickly turned into metaphors and idealism. Only for when it ended it moved onto Lee Sin who had 40 seconds of gameplay references and jokes for most of his time on screen.
    What I loved was how the beat of the song changed with each champion and it felt personalized to the champ, i said that Jhin's was my favorite but that first part, the animations and the beat gave me chills.
    I have little experience with music so honestly my critiques could be entirely wrong, also i'm not saying i hate the song i just feel like what made the other War’s amazing was left out in this one. I can't wait for the next one.
