I'm enjoying the characterization of Katarina in this comic. She has depth, instead of being 2 dimentional "haha I'm gonna stab you" she actually has a personality now
I tend to agree that's good she's a bit more fleshed out; but she feels a bit out of character. In the end, it's OK if she is a bit edgy. You can keep some of the cheesy lines (although not all of them, probably) and give her a bit of a Tsundere vibe. Deadly, angry... but deep down she cares. I'm liking the comic very much; but Katarina's personality seem to be designed to make the plot advance. She's just this skillfull assassin who's a bit confused between two manipulative father figures, and she has this sort of light characterization that blends some action with a bit of comedy... sort of the hero of a Marvel movie. I don't think this sort of personality is bad on itself (it would 100% fit a number of champs); but it makes Katarina feel a bit bland, a bit non-descript. It blends with the visual design, which is a bit softer than I would like. I think her splash art re-design was a step forward, giving her a more non-traditional type of beauty. The comic (which is beautifully drawn, just to be clear) reverts her into this sort of Barbie-like type of face. I get the general idea: giving her more motivation and internal conflict that "I WILL STAB YOU BECAUSE I CAN" is good; but you can both give the character all that without betraying her "I WILL STAB YOU BECAUSE I CAN" essence. Otherwise you may end up watering down the character.
@@M.Nihankin I get that it's up to personal preference (which is valid) but me personally, I'm loving the fact that we're finally getting a version of Katarina for whom it would actually feel out of character to say something as cringy as "iF yOu rUn yOu wOn'T sEe mE sTaB yoU!" Breath of fresh air really. She’s an actual character and less of a moodboard now.
I absolutely adore that we get to see these interactions between Kat and Talon, they are brother and sister in a broken home, not just two assassins, and Kat seems like she really cares about him.
It makes me feel uneasy, disappointed and sick… they made such a looser from him. big talk an nothing from it. He was supposed to be elite assassin maybe even better than Katarina and now he is beaten in his pajamas and cry like a baby…
@@artemisea5287 He IS an elite assassin even before being adopted by the ducouteau family. The comic is creating depth, humanizing him and giving him more personality than "die by the blade hur durr". I hope they keep building his personality more. This was a great comic issue
I mean Swain also said that Camille was “C” and then it turned out to be Corina Veraza so I’m not sure if all his interactions are even really canon anymore. A lot changed since those interactions were written.
I think her friend is Targonian. Noxians believe in Assimilation as a means of conquest. Having a part of your original identity merged with Noxus' strength is a big part of the reason people join them. Samira is still very Shuriman, but would describe herself as Noxian. Probably the same thing here.
The only problem with this theory is the noxians are no where near targon on their path of conquest. Maybe she's sheriman and has traded for targonian goods?
@patrick fosby I think the theory could still work. Maybe she's a lunarian who had to run away from targon due to the solerians trying to kill lunarians.
@@tonigalfig254 Oh hell yeah, now we're speculating. As a Hemomancer she was likely one of the orphans under Vladimir, maybe after fleeing Targon she was captured in Shurima and sold off to an aforementioned Noxian Noble. Then eventually escaped as she insinuates she doesn't commonly use Hemomancy anymore, but for her friend Katarina is an exception.
Could that magical forest be a sign of a BandleCity gate? We learned in Tristanas and Lulus short story, that magical forests rise where Bandle City gates are hidden. That prismatic slug would fit in with what we saw of Bandle City inthe last few trailers.
More so that we know petricite isn't a magic dampener but an absorber, so the supposedly "lack" of magic in Demacia is a overly blown lie. And even if the magic groves grow besides the gates, the gates itself are pretty well hidden from those without special sight, so that would explain why there is one of those to close to the capital but people don't see. And most demacians are trying to NOT get close to magic.
that and the fact that Petricite Trees absorb magic could heavily impact the fauna and flora around them imagine being a bird but living in a tree that is supercharged with fire magic, that surely isnt harmless, and in legends of runeterra we know there are creatures that even share the magic absorbtion of the petricite trees
It's the walls leaking magic, like osmotic pressure, the amount of magic in their walls is alot because it keeps absorbing it from anything, but just like sylas that magic has to go somewhere. So the outside is where it leaks to.
A Talon ASU that makes him look younger and more naive would be nice. His current base splash is pretty bland. Here he actually looks a bit like SSW Talon lol
Couldn't be more wrong talons splash art is badass asf and his in-game character is cool he just needs more voice lines not to be turned into a cry baby
14:06 Oh you will Necrit, you will. We all know you can't resist the urge... you more than anyone. I love the characterization this comic gave to Kat, to me at least, this really emmancipated her from just being the "sexy assassin lady", now we have such a well done and surprisingly deep understanding of her ideals and personality. She has friends that are loyal to her and she is loyal to, she isn't just trying to prove she is better than others, she respects others very much especially when she sees their potential and dedication. And another great aspect of the comic... it is just a little teaser with subtle hints of what will happen in the game without needing to throw in our faces things and advancing other characters that probably will not appear in the game but are important for the overall depth of the world.
She continues to be the "sexy assassin lady", only this sexy assassin has a very well-crafted background behind it, although we still have to wait for the end of the comic to know if her iconic skills "Shunpo and Death Lotus" will be well described by responsible narrative direction!
I hope Katarina gets new voicelines after this, her personality is sooo different (and better) in this comic that it just needs to happen. Katarina has been one of my favorite characters since 2014 even when I didn't main her but she always felt a little bit bland especially compared to when they started adding new champions with very interesting voicelines and/or reworking old ones and giving them really cool voicelines. However, Katarina has always felt like the cliche, basic, cold, edgy assassin (and Talon feels the same tbf), so I hope they both get an upgrade.
Always admired Katarina as a character ever since the beginning, and now with the depth that she has it's even easier to associate with her. Great job from the story team. But don't break apart the siblings Riot!! Hoping this is a setup to a proper relationship based on trust between Kat and Talon! And also we want a reunion in the future of the siblings with Cassi and their mother!! That last part where Kat talks about her family situation is beyond sad! 😢
I really thought that joke at the end to be about Noxians being Runeterra's Brits - Egg bread and sausage as breakfast, and we already know they're viciously imperial. Also that makes Demacia France, which makes.. More sense than it should. Does explain Fiora's accent.
During the dream secuence I could only think of Zed being there because of the shadow magic or whaever and if it has a conection to nocturne being in Nightmares and stuff idk please Rito give us more lore around that.
Was really hoping they wouldn’t make talon and katarina confrontational. Always wished for the two of them to be more supportive of each other considering what Cassiopeia is like and the common ground they share. Still time for that to change but the jealousy and fighting over parental love we’ve seen before. Found family assassin siblings in a cutthroat city has a lot more potential in my eyes
Necrit, as someone who is easily distracted, your videos always manage to keep me glued to the screen, wanting to know more. Even if i had read the story before
Was so waiting for you to post. My first thoughts at the end of the newest chapter after you previously said she wasn't a mage was is her friend making her a hemomancer, but that was just a thought I had at first glance. The comics have been so good so far. Edit: yeah binding her weapons to her makes a lot more sense lol.
I normally just watch these Necrit vids to stay up to date, but this one was thoroughly enjoyable all the way through. It had just the right blend of speculation and analysis imo, fantastic video
On the panel with kat looking at the cabinet of weapons, below the elixir or wrath looks to be the head of Riftmaker. Also the Duskblade of Draktharr might have lore implications as we know Pyke had acquired that item in The Ruined King for his secret legendary item, So either this is just a reference, Pyke having the Duskblade is non-cannon, Both, or Somehow the Duskblade left Pyke and wound up here infront of Katarina.
I noticed talon has blue eyes in this comic as opposed to the amber/light brown he has in game, but it probably doesn't mean anything, maybe it's like a comic thing?
I'm curious if the talon she interrogated was actually the real talon and not another misleading clone or impostor of LeBlanc or Swain for the purpose of their plans either way I'm curious as to where this will go. I also just realized Talon's eye color is different in page 2 being brown at the tea house but blue elsewhere, maybe just a mistake.
As a kat main. Riot really giving her story the love she needed. I love her relationship with Talon as two students but the older one learns the truth. I also love her characterization. She's so cheeky i can't help but swoon over that. She feels like a real person
Lowkey a Riot MMO video about all the food present in the lore would be cool, I want to know more about Pantheon legendary bread or what the combat chef is cooking
11:29 I wonder if Talon calling Swain a "demon" means he and Marcus **know** that Swain made a deal with a demon (Raum) or if he's just calling him a demon in the evil sense of the word 🤔.
So either Katarina is a vivid dreamer and the demonic ravens warp it by waking her up, or Leblanc is messing with her head. I'm inclined to believe the former as I don't recall Leblanc using this to manipulate people and it could be a useful tool. Probably going to need a very skilled smith to mend that blade. 4:46 Ugh 4:52 why? I'm guessing this forest is leeching energy that escapes the petricite. Possibly also why Demacia seems to have so many mages. The energy bleeds out, and considering how World Runes are under the Petricite Forest, that energy might bleed into people on the genetic level. Nice to see the Hemomancers brought up. And learning that they can heal is pretty interesting. Given how they're the closest to her current blades and how she's a patriot, I could see the daggers being taken up by her. Seeing Talon of all characters chilling in his pj's is just.... surreal! So Leblanc probably isn't impersonating dear old dad, but he may be working for her. Her blood empowering blades bearing her nation's crest. To do battle with family. That's pretty freaking metal. It would also add extra umph to future encounters with Garen. This tea house has Ionian patterns, Noxian construction, and Targonian statues. Also, Katarina is a very good friend (possibly an amicable ex), so that might not be Noxian or normal.
He is going to make an MMO about consumables isn't he? Just look at the shop and see the potion and elixirs, we even had the Elixir or Wrath appear in this comic
This comic issue has more substance for talon that any other Riot media. I love how deep this is getting. I'm waiting for the Katarina development in the upcoming issue
im pretty sure katarinas dream was just a fever dream from being unconcious and it just kinda went weird because her subconscious noticed the whole demon ravens pecking at her to wake her up hence they seemed ''outside'' of her dream
Wow 1st time I saw 11s on youtube. Well, now I could show my dedication to lore😂 And please make a riot mmo video about.. oh you said not consumables... About greetings and religions!
Do you think katarinas tatoos are shadow tattoos like zeds and the members of the other shadow order ? thats why her kit has a fairly ionian sounding word the shun-po as well as is able to seemingly teleport ?
I honestly think the dream was just a dream. And ravens tried to see if Kat's alive. If alive, then WAKEY WAKEY with beak and claws. If dead, then dinner time.
I mean is it possible that it was Swain trying to Kill Katarina in her dream? and when Swain has his "Visions" it's him peering into other's dreams to find out their secrets? He has a quote towards this, so everytime we see Katarina, Waking up / in a dream there's Swain's ravens spying on her in the dream and IRL the second time.. "I often kill in my visions, when I close my eyes. Do not come near." - Jericho Swain Not a bad theory btw that Leblanc could be trying to manipulate Kat through his father along with Talon to kill Swain, but I think this issue reveals that he never died to begin with, maybe she could of taken over still, but I think it's more likely that her father may be working with LB, since I bet the faceless (Assuming it's not LB but even if it's not she's connected to them 100% IMO) is connected to her father, like being the boss of the assassins and maybe that's why Swain wants their family gone, so there's less power on LB's side, since Darius isn't really a threat.
'people are slowly getting excited for the release' me 3 weeks ago: MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGEEESEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I mean, it´s make sense that Demacia has a magic forest, despite their distaste for magic, Demacia was founded in magical lands, the Demacian people are magical, they face magical creatures everyday and so on, and it's kind of strange that this is never considered or brought up. The only thing putting their magic in check is the petricite, if not, Demacia would be a magic country, this is if they are not already, because Demacia uses and have a lot of magic knowledge
I'm enjoying the characterization of Katarina in this comic. She has depth, instead of being 2 dimentional "haha I'm gonna stab you" she actually has a personality now
Talon, too. He used to be "haha I'm gonna stab you and post it on 4chan" kinda guy. A lot more explored now
Yeah! Her characterisation being, "haha I'm gonna stab you!" Iz great.

True, i was about to say the same. No more " If you run. You wont see me stab you "

@@daamiyanahmed4265 They both need it but OBVIOUSLY kat needs it.

Same applies for Zed and Shen as brothers though Shen as all but lost sympathy for Zed
@@Rev1n05 kayle and morgana : hold our wings
Being able to see talon's hair made me actually like his design
And seeing him cry made me feel empathy
Talon: When she lashed that broken knife across my eye... The pain wasn't what hurt the most. *lowers head*
Seeing talon cry fills me with joy
You always were able to see his hair in his hoodless skins.
It makes me feel uneasy, disappointed and sick… they made such a looser from him. big talk an nothing from it. He was supposed to be elite assassin maybe even better than Katarina and now he is beaten in his pajamas and cry like a baby…

Omg it would be so cool and genius. I hope Riot really started writing lor well 'cause after Ruination I was... disappointed.
I mean Swain also said that Camille was “C” and then it turned out to be Corina Veraza so I’m not sure if all his interactions are even really canon anymore.
A lot changed since those interactions were written.
@@cartoonishidealism582 he didnt say that Camille was C, it was just implied, but it still holds up if Camille is allied with Corina in some way.
Is so ironic that in order to open talon's eyes katarina had to make him lose one
That's clever on the part of the writers

@@murkel7634 I thought that was ionian based off the weapons and the look of the house in the cinematic
In Kata's dream, Talon was part of Kata's self consciousness. That's why he was the one pointing out the ravens
Yeah I figured it's her mind figuring out a way to wake herself up
Imagine talon gets an asu with her and talon is using the family blade as his main weapon instead of his gauntlet blade
Perhaps a mix of both: the one that wasn't broken and his wrist-blade. Perhaps he keeps the broken blade strapped to his back?

I suppose that is a retcon, but Talon's lore was so outdated that I don't have a problem with it

You know what would be really cool, a riot mmo video about consumables!
In pve mode of LoR (path of champions) we have a few story-based moments around Garen/Kat.
1. Unlock Garen in PoC.
2. Play his personal adventures.
yes i saw that
I want to see her and Garen again so badly
My guess, if anything, is the hemomagic is what will unlock her shunpo ability in lore so it's not just a game only ability. But thats just a guess.
I noticed talon has blue eyes in this comic as opposed to the amber/light brown he has in game, but it probably doesn't mean anything, maybe it's like a comic thing?
Darius and others always have the eye color wrong as well tbh in game or comic they ain't consistent
Oh my god imagine ur main getting so mush attention that the most special I have ever felt in my life 😢

She might be in Mageseeker. The comic skipped two weeks where she could have run across the plot. I'm not gonna hold my breath for it though.

We need the video for consumables
Completely in related but I got another epic seven ad and goddamn after all these years that song still bangs
I think leblanc is fallen celestial bases on that gold statue on the tea house because mimic a spell from lor is exactly the same

So Leblanc probably isn't impersonating dear old dad, but he may be working for her.
Her blood empowering blades bearing her nation's crest. To do battle with family. That's pretty freaking metal. It would also add extra umph to future encounters with Garen.
This tea house has Ionian patterns, Noxian construction, and Targonian statues. Also, Katarina is a very good friend (possibly an amicable ex), so that might not be Noxian or normal.

Cant wait for the riot mmo vidso about consumables! Right...?
8:34 Hmmm, first thing that came to my mind was Blades of Chaos :D
I really hope Swain shows up in the last issue.
Wow 1st time I saw 11s on youtube.
Well, now I could show my dedication to lore😂
And please make a riot mmo video about.. oh you said not consumables... About greetings and religions!
Riot MMO consumables video when?!
Do you think katarinas tatoos are shadow tattoos like zeds and the members of the other shadow order ? thats why her kit has a fairly ionian sounding word the shun-po as well as is able to seemingly teleport ?
3D third person Katarina assassination stealth game with full voice acting and cutscenes i need this riot please.
'Guuuuys...I'm not gonna make video about consumables' LOL
I can't wait necrit's video about riot mmo consumables
They need to make a skin for Kata with Blond hair and a rope "Minato Namikaze look"
Isn't fiddlesticks in/around demacia. Uses ravens, deals with nightmares. Would confuse swain or Leblanc about the existence of another demon raven?
Can't wait for the game ❤
Well now you have to make a video about the Runeterra MMO consumables.
maybe that would give her the power to blink or teleport to her dagger's location.
So... when is the MMO consumables video going to be released?
But but but our need for knowledge about consumables xD
3:48 The Thing, he said the Thing
Give in, make a riot MMO video about consumables, it's in high demand!
crows, nightmares, around demacia this look like fiddlesticks things
14:03 yes, yes you ARE (more content)
imagine if kat ends up canonically spins around throwing her daggers everywhere
I honestly think the dream was just a dream.
And ravens tried to see if Kat's alive.
If alive, then WAKEY WAKEY with beak and claws.
If dead, then dinner time.
14:02
Well, Piltover definitely provided Noxus that food idea, I believe
Guys, he is NOT making a Riot MMO video about consumables. ;D
Bro you did not mention Teemo and he was on this comic on 2:40 trust me he is there just in a stealth mode :)
epic cliff hanger at the end, can't wait
8:44 Gunblade Coming back?
Give this man a poster !
Imagine a Riot MMO video. It could be about possible consumables in the game. How's that for a wacky idea.
I mean is it possible that it was Swain trying to Kill Katarina in her dream? and when Swain has his "Visions" it's him peering into other's dreams to find out their secrets?
He has a quote towards this, so everytime we see Katarina, Waking up / in a dream there's Swain's ravens spying on her in the dream and IRL the second time..
"I often kill in my visions, when I close my eyes. Do not come near." - Jericho Swain
Not a bad theory btw that Leblanc could be trying to manipulate Kat through his father along with Talon to kill Swain, but I think this issue reveals that he never died to begin with, maybe she could of taken over still, but I think it's more likely that her father may be working with LB, since I bet the faceless (Assuming it's not LB but even if it's not she's connected to them 100% IMO) is connected to her father, like being the boss of the assassins and maybe that's why Swain wants their family gone, so there's less power on LB's side, since Darius isn't really a threat.
'people are slowly getting excited for the release'
me 3 weeks ago: MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGEEESEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I mean, it´s make sense that Demacia has a magic forest, despite their distaste for magic, Demacia was founded in magical lands, the Demacian people are magical, they face magical creatures everyday and so on, and it's kind of strange that this is never considered or brought up. The only thing putting their magic in check is the petricite, if not, Demacia would be a magic country, this is if they are not already, because Demacia uses and have a lot of magic knowledge
He is making a video about consumables.
