On first watch of the cinematic I had to check out all of Olaf's part multiple times. (some view him as a lame lore character, overused trope etc) I don't care, fucking love the champion. (Not for gameplay, I fucking love characters like Olaf.
@@Thulgore his powers and strength and persona are actually something unique compared to every other character, like he got bored because nothing stood as a challenge against him, that shit is sick, he remind me of kratos and that's awesome bruh
I love how Necrit is teasing a lot of champions's "important role" in the Void event- But we have to remember that Yorick, Maokai, Hecarim and Kalista also had an "important role" in the Ruined King event
I think we can safely assume that Riot won’t fuck up an event’s story that badly again. They’ll make sure not to have 3 separate teams doing their own version of the story, and they’ll probably try to lean away from including certain champs just for the sake of selling skins.
Atreus fighting for Control over Aurelion Sol is such a Main Character Moment. Like he already survived fighting Aatrox then went ahead and fought in the Ruined King as he used his Ascended Form then now he is on his Way to fight a Dragon who creates World so he could control him and save the World. Atreus is a Main Character and everybody are just Side Character in the Void Event.
I would think that pantheon will make a deal with aurelion sol were he would help to destroy those who used his power (in other words relied on the power of a god) in Exchange for to leave Runeterra alone
Bruh, as much as i like to agree, SoL Ranth cannot be cannon and prestige ascended even less Also, Atreus would never control Asol, cuz that's what Pantheon did and he would hate that.
Ornns appearance holds more value that one might think. He is shown at the start, in the middle and at the very end. It's he who starts the video and ends it, as if he is the narrator. It gives us the impression of him telling a story, of him being above it and observing it, while he himself is in his thoughts. He knows everything what's happening, and he has decided to once again take the cape of a hero. How do we know this? In first two shots of him he is shown forging - exactly what the champion is all about. If he was to be shown just cause, without a reason, he'd be forging all the way through the video - cause that's what he does. But he doesn't. As the cinematic closes he is done forging, for he has changed. His plans are different now. He isn't gonna let the world play out, for he is among the only few who know something out of this world is coming, and if they don't gather together, everyone and everything will die. That's why the cinematic is called "The Call", The Call Of the Ram God (the name of his ultimate)
*_Time. Space. Reality. It's more than a linear path..._* *_I am the watcher. I am your guide through these vast, new realities. Follow me, and ponder the question.. What if...?_*
" In first two shots of him he is shown forging - exactly what the champion is all about." Yo you are telling us that a Blacksmith that forges something is a special hint? Like - imagine - there is a forge. And a Blacksmith. And he forges a sword. Wow. Thats deep.
@@dogmatika7 no, the special thing is last appearance, in which he isn't forging anymore. He's done with it and plans to take his new weapon to the battlefield
I'm pretty sure the sword Ornn was forging was actually Molten Edge (the pre-season 11 upgrade of Infinity Edge), so I doubt Leona would be wielding it, but who knows, we'll have to wait and see.
Trn. The only frejlordian who uses swords. With an extreme crit focus in his kit. Who also would need a weapon strong enough to get revenge on aatrox in lore.
Ornn making weapons for champions would be a very bad decision from Riot, it would literally be the same thing they did to some other characters in the Ruination event. If Ornn made weapons for certain characters they would become extremely powerful in the lore, that's why they shouldn't do it. Imagine Olaf with axes made by Ornn, he could even melt true ice with them. The only way to return them to their normal power level is to take the weapons away from them, but then why did they even get it. This would be the same with the Ruination, because it wouldn't really continue the character's storyes. Look at Rengar for example, after he fought the black mist will he really just go back to Ixtal and continue hunting? Why was he even included in the event then? Sure he will remember it, but it doesn't make his character grow in any significant way. In my opinion characters should face enemies equal in power to them, and make the events in their own corresponding region. And I too think that Ornn forged the Infinity Edge in the cinematic!
Maybe the comets that were falling are actually pieces of Asol crown, because in his story it says that his crown is slowly breaking because the aspects are fighting each other making the magic that controls Asol weaker. In the story, the crown pieces fall like comets from the sky, that would explain why they are a lot of them, Asol is finally getting free. Also, not only the aspect of war has control over Asol because he hears the voices of the others aspects giving him orders from the crown and because this voices started to argue with each other he's getting free. The aspects are fighting each other and not working together. Solari vs lunari, aspect of war dead, zoe Being childish and not taking seriously her job as aspect, etc....
I feel like Aurelion's star was supposed to hit Leona. In his latest story, he said he feels the reigns weakening over time and he can actually disobey some commands now (he disobeyed the commands latest incarnation of pantheon 2 times but, on the 3rd command, he had to do what he was told). I believe he did this for his own fun, and acted like the command worked so he had freedom over where the star would go.
Tbh wouldn't it make even more sense for him to try and smite another possible iteration of Pantheon, rather than an aspect? I mean if he's mad about being controlled, he'd want to delay the other person regaining that control as quickly as possible. Then again it's also possible he tried hitting both of them.
Asol can break free any time he want but he didn't do it because he scared of what beyond the void. In the lore, when he go to fix the portal, he used his ult into the hole and it does nothing to the creature beyond it so he still obey the command and wait for the right moment.
Dude aurelion sol powers can ERASE the whole Mountain of Targon. If it was him who lasered Atreus the man would just be pure dust and same for léona. Dont forget that aurelion is like another galaxy over every character in the game.
I'm afraid that they forgot Kassadin and Jax, both of then have fighting the void for such a long time, but in the end what matters is who is popular enough to sell skins :(
fr she's strong not only bc she survived the Void but also bc of how she continues helping the people of Shurima out of kindness and care for their well-being even when they see her as some sort of monster. just want her to have some sort of happiness like when lucian finally reunited with his wife. at least she has taliyaah as an ally though. I have a question: Kai'Sa is just falling as she proceeds to use shoot Reksai so does that mean she's gonna get stuck in the Void again or can she get out like leaving a room?
Ornn is presented in the cinematic like a god, being shown throughout the entire cinematic, but he didn't do much at all, like a god overlooking the world. Also, he is forging a weapon, presenting him as a forge god. He is the first character shown in the cinematic, and the cinematic happened to be called The Call. Sound familiar? Call of the Forge God is Ornn's ult. Maybe this means absolutely nothing but it seems like too much of a coincidence.
I'm confused. Necrit said gods arent real in league universe, but then calls orn a god. So is he a god? If he's not, how can he make such powerful items?
@@tobias1438 Ornn is technically a demigod. I believe both me and Necrit were using the terms interchangeably. More specifically, Ornn is portrayed as a god in this cinematic, but he's not actually a god.
Aurelion Sol's lore mentions that his crown was breaking and falling down like Comets. I think that is the "Stars". "As he cautiously circled back, he realized the magic that bound him was weakening. Flecks of gold began to fall from his crown, each one blazing across the skies like a comet."
Xolaani is almost definitely gonna be a champion. Like, they basically spell out her abilities in the story. She’s a healer ascended/darkin who uses blood magic. That’s something you can build a kit around.
Theory: Asol's crown is deteriorating on a fast rate, the celestials on targon prime are on a panic, so much so that they want to make more aspects so that those aspects can take care of asol which is why the gate for targon prime was open, since the celestials want this process to happen on a faster rate they wouldn't do the climb mt targon's peak bs this time, so thats the reason for the gate opening, as for the comet that hit atreus,i think that was zoe trying to fend him off becuz she doesn't want atreus to set asol free. An alliance between asol and atreus is kinda likely since both hates the aspects/celestials sm.
Asol would never be free. if he successes to break himself free all living creature would be in danger. He would be an higher enemy than the void and an incredible opponent to pantheon. Maybe the only one that would survive all of this is Zoe. The only one that matches aurelion sol strength ( but not really) is mordekaiser but 1) he is in another realm 2) he is just not an ally. So him ( Aurelion sol ) teamming up with pantheon would be really unlikely.
It seems unlikely that it was Zoe, it makes more sense that it would just be A Sol doing that considering his entire shtick is smacking people with stars.
Is it possible that Ornn in the cinematic is building a great weapon that he will one day unleash to remake the world like it was said in "The Lost Tales of Ornn". In the 5th chapter "The tragedy of the hearthblood" there is a quote that goes like this "Some say it is Ornn, lighting his furnace to keep the fires under the surface of the world from going out. Others say he is building a great weapon that he will one day unleash" and later on in the story when the question asked by the child “What do you believe happened to Ornn?” comes up, the response he gets is “I believe when the Great Builder returns, it will be to remake the world.”
So, a few things I noticed: the stars that hit pantheon seam to come directly from the peak of the mountain and thay look a LOT like zoe's paddlestars amd it would make sense for her to be defending mount Targon from pantheon and not Aurelion Sol. Both him and Atrius hate the aspects after all, there could be a potential cooperation there. Lastly, Atreus seams to be able to call on the powers of the aspect every time he goes to war with a greater power, there could be something there for the future
Atreus would never ally himself with A Sol, he hates all things non-human (EDIT: divine/nearly all the Aspects). Meanwhile A Sol wouldn't even recognise his existence 😂 would be exciting though
@@DrAlchem01 I think it’s less that he hates non-humans and more that Aurelion Sol is a god who sees mortal lives as insignificant and expendable. I don’t think Atreus would see him as any better than the aspects.
@@kerresft8745 lmao yeah reading that back it looks *super* racist 😂 huh well TIL. I thought he was just done with the whole idea of gods/Aspects and that humans don't need them. I guess there are a few he doesn't mind
So after some digging on the new stories Aatrox "MIGHT" be the guy that destroyed the face of the statue we see on the cinematic when it goes to Taliyah and Kai'sa. It's a statue of Xolaani and it is said that the most vicious Darkin put her to sleep with one attack and destroyed the face of her statue. And if you look at the cinematic it eerily looks like something Aatrox's sword would do.
Actually it was most likely Aatrox. We need to remember that the dude is fucking massive and the slash going across the statue is obviously something done with a sword.
It was mentioned in the story that the Darkin didn't kill her with the blow, just laid her down for many centuries. Maybe my english is wrong but I don't think that means it killed her. It could have been Aatrox, but he is not that vicious, Rhaast is vicious, but sadly it can be a Darkin that was never even mentioned. We just don't have any information to assume it was Aatrox or Rhaast
My theory is that Kai'Sa is luring Rek'Sai against the new Void Champion. In the new story of her and Taliyah, it is revealed that a new species of Void creatures has appeared, shining with blue light instead of purple, and the Xer'Sai HATE these new creatures. So maybe Kai'Sa is trying to cause a royal battle between the Xer'Sai Queen and the new Void Empress :D
"blue light" Remember that "magnum opus" that Au Sol made? Could it be that Au Sol DESIGNED new void creatures in his image? Those had stints of blue light as well.
@@Geheimnis-c2e Aurelion isn't associated with the Void. The void was there before existence and it was existence that awakened it. Aurelion is scared of the Void, so why would he make a new void species?
@@Geheimnis-c2e I think this is a natural development of the Void. Cause, the whole theme about the Void is Evolution, they are constantly changing and adapting. So, what if, while the Voidborn champions are still doing their original stuff in Runeterra, things in the Void evolved beyond their original design/plans? Saying, instead of being "consume everything" it evolved into "conquer everything", cause now there's talks about "purple cities" and "rule everything" and an "Empress"
12:43 The sword Ornn smithed is the Infinity Edge or rather the Molten Edge. The design of the guard, the gem in middle and along with the glowing rune markings that is visible on the blade proves it. If by chance Ornn will be involved in the void event it is because he is going to travel to the Middle of Shurima to dip the sword into the magical pool in order to bless the sword with the sharpest edge. Well that is just a theory but everything just lines up perfectly if you think about it.
I think the reason why she isn't using a gag is because she so filled with rage and determination to win to help her people that the pain is nothing in comparison to how she's feeling
it's not about that though it's the fact that it doesnt show her feeling pain. Though you can always argue that's due to adrenaline etc... IMO this kind of pain can't be ignored and should be showned but, why not ! Huge battle, lightnings etc... you can't stop yourself because of pain
I don't know why Viktor was teased but It could mean 3 things to me 1. He could get a story this year maybe relating to the Chem baron 2. Just put him up there because of arcane 3. Somehow he'll also relate or be a part of the void event?
@Necrit at 6:06 you can notice that the knees are bended to take up the weight of the ice, so that is why his size seems different than the previous frame. He is still a unit, but a crouched unit.
I really hope the event doesn't put an end to the Void plotline and we only get a small taste of it. The Void should be THE Endgame of the francize and is better suited for the up-coming MMO.
They will drive the void back and close many rifts, they will not destroy it, the cannot destroy it. It will come back in other events in the very distant future.
It is impossible to this be the end of the Void, the writers at Riot know what they are doing. I assume it will be just a minor battle against the void, not a war
@@tamas9554 Which is what I'm hoping for. Riot proved themselves with Arcane and other stories, but then I look at the Ruination and it's just... Let us hope for the best I guess.
@@thelastcrow5660 Ruination doesn't matter, Riot rarely misses the mark with their storyes, the Ruination being one of the few. Riot proved that they could build a very detailed and beautiful world even before Arcane
I love how Riot is starting to portray Freljordians as what they truly are. Before you could tell from their stories that they were massive and very physically powerful people, but between Olaf in this cinematic and how burly the Udyr rework is, they're starting to hit the nail on the head.
@@shortsforfun458 yeah they already said that alot of the stuff will get delayed to 2022 like the champion releases, skins and that includes udyr rework and others.
When pantheon ults you can kinda see a silhouette that looks like a dragon in the stars but it eventually melds out and just looks like a massive amount of stars
Ornn crafted the Infinity Edge; you can see the "triangular, edged" tip when he tempers the sword in water and a similar guard and runes when he finishes the sword. It's a teaser like Tear of The Goddess in the Warriors cinematic.
Ok but if Void 'event' is coming, and it's not just singular champion release thing then Im gonna ask for all the Void Figheters to actually do something (looking nervously at Zilean and Jax)
I think Jax is more likely the new VGU, Zilean is in his tower after all, he can't leave it. Honestly it is never mentioned that he can leave his tower, but I assume he doesn't go to other places because he is bound to it. Jax on the other hand is freely roaming around Runeterra, so it would make more sense if he helped to fight the void back in Shurima
I think there are too many champions fighting the void for all of them to have a major role. Eventaully, it's like 8 different teams fighting against the void in their own ways, and one (or few) of them are gonna be in the lead, the rest will be just side roles. Hopefully, their side roles will be more than Yorick's brief mention in the non-canon client novel.
One thing I haven't seen being noticed is the metaphoric meaning behind Ornn's forging scene. That is how only through getting beaten can the characters be made stronger, similar to how in order to harden the blade, Ornn beats it with a hammer before quenching it.
Could you imagine of Pantheon went to the Star to actually free Asol? I know I know, he hates the gods but listen to this: Both him and Asol were forced to the will of the Aspect of War. Just imagine him rising to the stars not to strike down the dragon but free his chains
Wouldn't asol wipe out the entire planet from existence the moment he's freed? Would pantheon want that? Would he be practical? Or no comprimise even in the face of armegeddon.
3:05 even though they would be called celestials or aspects in the game, I feel like Aurelion Sol, Bard, and Kindred are definitely worthy of being considered gods
Ngl the sword that ornn forged looks extremely similar to the infinity edge, so in this case it would be more correct to call it the molten edge. The guard is basically identical and the fact that the blade has runes on the flat part matches as well
Personally, I believe Atreus was headed to The Peak to travel to the actual Celestial Realm. He could be on a quest to harness the full power of the now-not-so-much-alive Aspect of War. Also, really really hoping we get to see Ornn fight a Frozen Watcher. What better ending to the event can there be? :D
I find it likely that Atreus headed to the celestial realm for a reason, but Ornn fighting a Watcher? A Watcher COULD only be destroyed by an entity like Aurelion, Orrn is very powerful compared to other beings in Runeterra, but a Watcher would obliterate him
Imagine if victor was the champ all along, and this was a teaser for his rework, so they update him to the arcane lore with shimmer accross his body, GLORIOUS EVOLUTION
I think riot won't be able to do the Void event in 1 season. Void is the most impactful and most dangerous threat across Runeterra and it would be weird if some 2 demi-gods fighting would be of help against the watchers which even weakened ASol was afraid of. There are 2 reasons which might be why Riot is tuning down their work, The first one would be that they are scared of doing the same thing that happened in the Ruination OR they are planning something as big as the Ruination (or probably even bigger) but better.
It could be, but at the same time it'd be weird for Riot to release the supposed big bad of the void event and not do the event itself for a long ass while. Even though Viego came out early last year and Ruination was only during the summer, it still happened in 1 season. Only way I can see it happening is if the event itself will be so massive they'll have to cut it in two parts. First part which will include the Void Empress will unravel during this season, and at the end as they take her down, the battle in Freljord between Sejuani, Volibear and possibly Ornn might reawaken a watcher, which will lead into the second part involving Lissandra and more powerful forces like Asol, Aspects etc.
Asol wasnt afraid of the void. He was referring to him sensing fear from the aspects for the first time as he disobeyed their commands and even evaporated pantheon. They witnessed him talking control which meant their started losing their grip on him.
If there was a void event it wouldn't be a massive fight against it. Most likely the new voidborn champ will try to attack a city and devour it, most likely Belveth. The void is supposed to be the biggest and latest enemy Runeterra will face, entire nations uniting to finally end the Watchers. But that is very, very far away
I agree .... But maybe THIS is the the 1 big scale attack from the void .... A tease of how runaterra will fight .... And if they get repelled .... Hope some one talks sense into mordekaiser, pantheon befriends aurelion and the sentienls wake Viego up Beacuse runaterra will need absolutely everything to stand a chance against the void Also remember that all voidborne are weak when they cross out of his dimension so is not crazy that they can repell the first big attack even with the empress
@@vergil9981 I dont think it will only stay at trying to repel the void borne, because in the hollow spun short story (the story before Taliyah and Kai'Sa met and went to Xolan) there was a kind of void borne called the LampLights by Kai'Sa that makes the hatchlings and callers stronger by giving the others a glow. but what doesn't make sense is that the Dunebreaker (also a voidborne) sees the LampLights as enemy and starts to chase the power away. (i think the dunebreaker also went and kill the ones that received the glow) So it might not only be the void that is the problem here.
Boy it feels so sad to watch this vid in 2023 with the benefit of hindsight and hearing Necrit theorize about the Void event and all the cool things that could happen in it when in fact we didn't get any of those things and 2022 was as exciting as a slightly humid and lukewarm piece of bread that's been sitting on the counter for 2 days when it comes to events in League lol
With the Viktor tease at the end I wonder if he's going to get some treatment that Miss Fortune got a while ago, where their in-game model stays the same but the splash arts get updated. I theorize this simply due to Viktor's teaser image being an updated version of his splash art.
I'm going pretty cospiracy on the Artreus part of the cinematic but isn't is interesting how he gets hit by possibly starfire and doesn't even have as much as a scratch? Also Leona jumps to the side while having the shot coming from her back, I think she knew that the barrage was coming since....why would the one with the back turned on the canon see the bullet faster than the one the shot is coming straight for? Anyway, what if Aurelion was ordered to shoot down Pantheon so he doesn't reach the mountain but gave some kind of information to Pantheon on how to get closer to his goals by finding Sol? Isn't it weird how Pantheon flies straight for the stars instead of reentering the fight with Leona or even remotely going for Mt.Targon? I think Sol realized that something weird happened to his old Nemesis Pantheon, maybe he even found out that the actual Aspect is dead and now he wants to allie with the person that now wants to destroy Targon just as much as he does,
In the cinematic there's a close up shot of pantheons eyes focusing on fighting Leona and for a split second he looks up. Then it cuts to Leona, brows furrowed and then she dodged. Leona didn't know it was coming, pantheon basically inadvertently warned her about it by focusing his gaze on it. Besides Leona is also a god like panth. So yeah, they can do superhuman things. Like maybe she can sense the heat coming from it. Since the sun is a star. And sol just shot a star at panth.
Doesn't really make sense why would the aspects order Aurelion to stop Atreus from reaching the peak, but not ordering him to help defeat the darking or the void rift that opened in Icathia or other parts of Runeterra
@@tamas9554 Because non of them got close enough to the mountain, the only way into the celestial realm. The last time someone came close enough to being a direct threat (Aatrox), War came down himself and we all know how that turned out. Reducing all direct defensive operations to simply defending the front gate into their realm while by that also minimizing the risk that comes with the "use" of Aurelion seems pretty reasonable. Defend the gates, simple stuff.
@@kunibertrandolf1886 This theory would make sense if we had any evidence, but sadly we got no storyes for Targon. Until then I could even say that Kayle will fight Pantheon in the celestial realm, because we know nothing
Olaf had his knees bent when the ice hit him because his legs could break otherwise, but he was massive compared to the others in the first appearance. Just thought you should know.
Atreus and kratos would be best buddies Ornn is definitely preparing for something, specially if humans want to fight volibear, he might help Kai'sa is likely able to get out of the void so she don't mind to dive and drive reksai into the void
Viktor is one of the most popular characters from Arcane, maybe they're using him on promo images to capitalise on that popularity for marketing purposes.
I know people meme about this, but wouldn't it be cool if Jax seeked out Orn to craft him a " REAL weapon" so he can march against the void along with his recruits?
Based on the blade and hilt design, it looks like the sword that Ornn forged is Infinity Edge. IE's lore involves the Oasis of Dawn in Shurima, so maybe it's being retconned, or it's teasing part of the void event's story.
I kinda hope they do not shut down completely the void. And I'm so excited to see what lissandra is gonna do. Other question, is ornn gonna forge true ice for liss? Lol. I want to see lisssandra and her plans in action.
Honestly, I'd love to see Viktor (and maybe even Jayce) meet up with Ornn and all the crazy Inventor Dude Bro stuff they can get up to, like helping Ornn with creating the weapons for the Champions who are going to fight the Void.
What if Xolaani is the third darkin, who has been severly corrupted by the Ikathian voidborne? She entered the void following her visions and disappeared inside for milenia, and now reemerges to claim her empire.
I dont think we will see Aureleon in an event, unless we just see him chained to targon. And if Aureleon was released, the void would be done for, but so would the rest of runeterra. Cant really do anything with him imo.
Doubt so ... Aurelion when he closed a portal he could not do it the portal freed him while he was nearby and let the world die .... But when he saw what was on the other side of that portal he decided to snap a full star into the portal ... And if something scared aurelion itself .... Welp GG runaterra
I think it's likely they'll involve Zoe somehow, since she's so closely tied to Aurelion. That, and Pantheon's comment about facing many gods but the worst bearing the face of a child.
Not exactly true I'd say. Aurelion states that for the first time ever he felt fear when looking into the void, there is SOMETHING in there that should be about as powerful as he is.
@@ruiribeiro8010 agreed, aurelion sol is currently the most powerful being in the universe. However, the void existence that is being mentioned in his story strikes fear in him. Something that as of this moment we still unable to take any measurement upon other than 'it' arguably ,like aurelion sol himself , possess the power to completely wipe out the entire universe and and life existences.
Leona saw the reflection of the falling star in Pantheon's eyes, she breaks the stalemate and pulls back just before the star hits... Pantheon is taken aback by her sudden retreat, and only just barely gets his shield up before taking the blast which knocks him from the mountain... in that scene of him getting hit you can see Leona scrambling back further onto the plateau.
Actually, we kinda know what Atreus is doing there, because when the Prestige Skin: Ascended Pantheon came out, Riot revealed, that this skin along with the other skins of the Event, is indeed canon. So Pantheon is there because he is going to not only become the Host of the Aspect of War, he is going to become the Aspect of War himself.
@@slime_v2 There are many skins which are canon. Freljord Sylas, Sentinal Skins, Captain MF, just to name few. And I think Riot said that his ascended skin is not canon
@@sorpilius1097 They said it is canon. The only canon one among the prestige skins, to be more precise. So, yes, there are lots of canon skins, but this is the sole one that's also a prestige one.
Hey man, I've got a suggestion of some kind for your videos. Instead of using still images from the cinematics, try using really slow videos that are moving just slightly. Think it will spice the video up, otherwise great job!
The frame rate would be choppy and not very pleasing to watch. I'd say he should zoom in a bit and pan the images around(for the breakdowns, I think he does a good job with story renditions)
If i remember correctly ornn hasn't forged a weapon since his village was destroyed so him making a weapon is already a big sign that a big event is coming
7 months later and with the release of bel veth im still waiting for that void event. ah well, maybe after the weeb event that they never will make into a actual anime.
Love the cinematic, my favourite tbh and specially because: Panth = 1 of my 3 mains, been playing Sejuani these days and her lore is really cool, love Leona, the freljord Gods and I used to play Olaf
Sejuani: Seems angry but not in pain Also Sejuania: Just got struck by fucking Lightning That woman is tough and I love it. I just love how she looks and acts in this cinematic.
Am I going crazy? I saw the first star and my initial thought was Zoe (especially with the accuracy of it clearly being aimed at Pantheon but not touching Leona). The multi starfall changed my mind to Aurelion, but I find it odd Zoe's not name dropped in any analysis, even just offhandedly (one dude even said only one champion is associated with stars...). I feel like she'll be at least somewhat relevant because of her connection to ASol so I just find it odd she hasn't been mentioned even briefly. Plus, Pantheon's line about facing many gods but the worst bearing the face of a child also leads me to believe they'll show us some interaction with some combos of all three (Zoe, Panth, Asol). All of them, Zoe-Panth, Zoe-Asol, etc.
I really really hope Ornn also gets a skin for the event apart from crafting all the weapons, it's such a fantastic character, and yes, the elderwood skin is impressive, but I hope something really unique comes for the Forge God
As a Volibear otp since s2 i always hoped to see a cinematic with him. And i'm more than satisfied about the fact that we can only see his silhouette. A true god simply can't be shown in a physical form that easy ;)
The fact that you have a woman (Leona) be the character who descends down to face her challenger, a man (MAN), instead of the usual, Guy op, girl is the challenger trend, is something I really liked. And oof when their shields clash and they show Atreus's bare feet just slide across the ground throwing up dust. Ooof. Riot knows how to make cinematics. PS - Olaf breaking ice the size of a small house with his back is gym goals.
Olaf just casually shattered the ice with his back muscles, not his helmet. And the man is still an absolute unit in this cinematic.
You could say he's a bit of a problem; truly built different.
On first watch of the cinematic I had to check out all of Olaf's part multiple times. (some view him as a lame lore character, overused trope etc) I don't care, fucking love the champion. (Not for gameplay, I fucking love characters like Olaf.
Nice profile pic
@@Thulgore his powers and strength and persona are actually something unique compared to every other character, like he got bored because nothing stood as a challenge against him, that shit is sick, he remind me of kratos and that's awesome bruh
That was him using his ult I'm guessing
Isn't the quote:
"I call upon the stars, to bake my bountiful bread." The story is simple...Atreus is retiring to become a baker.
lmfao
So Leona just broke his oven?
@@falscher2 I think the sun is his oven
Aurelion Sol would be such a nice squishy ingredient to make soft bread.
I guess solary flame is low heat. Pantheon needs the sun for that sweet precious heat to bake his fluffy bread
They clearly have to be called "Ornnamental Weapons".

I love how Necrit is teasing a lot of champions's "important role" in the Void event- But we have to remember that Yorick, Maokai, Hecarim and Kalista also had an "important role" in the Ruined King event

yeah void event mcs will be kaisa, ashe, new sexy darkin lady, pantheon and ezreal
@@bars6937 lol not even Aatrox
I think we can safely assume that Riot won’t fuck up an event’s story that badly again. They’ll make sure not to have 3 separate teams doing their own version of the story, and they’ll probably try to lean away from including certain champs just for the sake of selling skins.
@@bars6937 Don't forget Ahri and Lux, like who needs to see KAssadin, Malzahar, Velkos or Khazix, in a void cinematic when u can see the furry lady
Atreus fighting for Control over Aurelion Sol is such a Main Character Moment. Like he already survived fighting Aatrox then went ahead and fought in the Ruined King as he used his Ascended Form then now he is on his Way to fight a Dragon who creates World so he could control him and save the World. Atreus is a Main Character and everybody are just Side Character in the Void Event.
And I love the fact that they added the scar on his chest from his aatrox fight
I would think that pantheon will make a deal with aurelion sol were he would help to destroy those who used his power (in other words relied on the power of a god) in Exchange for to leave Runeterra alone
The ascended form is no longer canon :-(
@@szaladinsarakany there is no reason to believe aurelion would honor any deals.
Bruh, as much as i like to agree, SoL Ranth cannot be cannon and prestige ascended even less
Also, Atreus would never control Asol, cuz that's what Pantheon did and he would hate that.
Ornns appearance holds more value that one might think. He is shown at the start, in the middle and at the very end. It's he who starts the video and ends it, as if he is the narrator. It gives us the impression of him telling a story, of him being above it and observing it, while he himself is in his thoughts. He knows everything what's happening, and he has decided to once again take the cape of a hero. How do we know this? In first two shots of him he is shown forging - exactly what the champion is all about. If he was to be shown just cause, without a reason, he'd be forging all the way through the video - cause that's what he does. But he doesn't. As the cinematic closes he is done forging, for he has changed. His plans are different now. He isn't gonna let the world play out, for he is among the only few who know something out of this world is coming, and if they don't gather together, everyone and everything will die. That's why the cinematic is called "The Call", The Call Of the Ram God (the name of his ultimate)
wtf this makes so much sense. nice!

@@dogmatika7 no, the special thing is last appearance, in which he isn't forging anymore. He's done with it and plans to take his new weapon to the battlefield
I'm pretty sure the sword Ornn was forging was actually Molten Edge (the pre-season 11 upgrade of Infinity Edge), so I doubt Leona would be wielding it, but who knows, we'll have to wait and see.
Trn. The only frejlordian who uses swords. With an extreme crit focus in his kit. Who also would need a weapon strong enough to get revenge on aatrox in lore.
Well Ornn is gigantic, how could Leona even wield that sword?
Crit leona canon
@@davidforde2507 that makes wsy more sense
Ornn making weapons for champions would be a very bad decision from Riot, it would literally be the same thing they did to some other characters in the Ruination event. If Ornn made weapons for certain characters they would become extremely powerful in the lore, that's why they shouldn't do it. Imagine Olaf with axes made by Ornn, he could even melt true ice with them. The only way to return them to their normal power level is to take the weapons away from them, but then why did they even get it. This would be the same with the Ruination, because it wouldn't really continue the character's storyes. Look at Rengar for example, after he fought the black mist will he really just go back to Ixtal and continue hunting? Why was he even included in the event then? Sure he will remember it, but it doesn't make his character grow in any significant way. In my opinion characters should face enemies equal in power to them, and make the events in their own corresponding region. And I too think that Ornn forged the Infinity Edge in the cinematic!
Maybe the comets that were falling are actually pieces of Asol crown, because in his story it says that his crown is slowly breaking because the aspects are fighting each other making the magic that controls Asol weaker.
In the story, the crown pieces fall like comets from the sky, that would explain why they are a lot of them, Asol is finally getting free.
Also, not only the aspect of war has control over Asol because he hears the voices of the others aspects giving him orders from the crown and because this voices started to argue with each other he's getting free.
The aspects are fighting each other and not working together.
Solari vs lunari, aspect of war dead, zoe Being childish and not taking seriously her job as aspect, etc....
considering Asol is getting a gameplay rework, this could be accurate!!!

This cinematic may not seem crazy to regular players, but the lore that this reveals is absoultely insane.
Based on reactions i saw on twitch with number of streamers i assume they also really liked it.
It doesn't reveal much lore, and we already know about what little lore it reveals. Cinematic is dope though.
I feel like Aurelion's star was supposed to hit Leona. In his latest story, he said he feels the reigns weakening over time and he can actually disobey some commands now (he disobeyed the commands latest incarnation of pantheon 2 times but, on the 3rd command, he had to do what he was told). I believe he did this for his own fun, and acted like the command worked so he had freedom over where the star would go.
Tbh wouldn't it make even more sense for him to try and smite another possible iteration of Pantheon, rather than an aspect? I mean if he's mad about being controlled, he'd want to delay the other person regaining that control as quickly as possible.
Then again it's also possible he tried hitting both of them.
Aurelian hates the Pantheons tho he doesn’t really feel anything towards the sun
Asol can break free any time he want but he didn't do it because he scared of what beyond the void. In the lore, when he go to fix the portal, he used his ult into the hole and it does nothing to the creature beyond it so he still obey the command and wait for the right moment.
Dude aurelion sol powers can ERASE the whole Mountain of Targon. If it was him who lasered Atreus the man would just be pure dust and same for léona. Dont forget that aurelion is like another galaxy over every character in the game.

Just the same as a shadow isles event with little yorick

I have a question: Kai'Sa is just falling as she proceeds to use shoot Reksai so does that mean she's gonna get stuck in the Void again or can she get out like leaving a room?
Ornn is presented in the cinematic like a god, being shown throughout the entire cinematic, but he didn't do much at all, like a god overlooking the world. Also, he is forging a weapon, presenting him as a forge god. He is the first character shown in the cinematic, and the cinematic happened to be called The Call. Sound familiar? Call of the Forge God is Ornn's ult.
Maybe this means absolutely nothing but it seems like too much of a coincidence.
ok but did you know in terms of human male and female pokemon breeding vapore-
He also stopped forging weapons. The fact he's forging one now means shit is about to kick off

Leona wasn't hit by the star; you can actually see her standing there as it whizzes by during the kinda wide shot
That's what I was about to comment, Is hard to see but if you pay attention you can see her silhouette standing near the star, watching Pantheon fall.
he literally says this in the video lol
Aurelion Sol's lore mentions that his crown was breaking and falling down like Comets. I think that is the "Stars".
"As he cautiously circled back, he realized the magic that bound him was weakening. Flecks of gold began to fall from his crown, each one blazing across the skies like a comet."
Xolaani is almost definitely gonna be a champion. Like, they basically spell out her abilities in the story. She’s a healer ascended/darkin who uses blood magic. That’s something you can build a kit around.
Yeah, most definitely she'll end up being a champ, we even see a statue of her in the cinematic so...
Hmm would they give the faceless god a face?
@@accipiter4349 Her face is constantly blurred out like on crime shows
XolAAni. She got the memo
dont get my dreams of darkin fighting the void up q.q
Theory:
Asol's crown is deteriorating on a fast rate, the celestials on targon prime are on a panic, so much so that they want to make more aspects so that those aspects can take care of asol which is why the gate for targon prime was open, since the celestials want this process to happen on a faster rate they wouldn't do the climb mt targon's peak bs this time, so thats the reason for the gate opening, as for the comet that hit atreus,i think that was zoe trying to fend him off becuz she doesn't want atreus to set asol free. An alliance between asol and atreus is kinda likely since both hates the aspects/celestials sm.
Asol would never be free. if he successes to break himself free all living creature would be in danger. He would be an higher enemy than the void and an incredible opponent to pantheon. Maybe the only one that would survive all of this is Zoe. The only one that matches aurelion sol strength ( but not really) is mordekaiser but
1) he is in another realm
2) he is just not an ally.
So him ( Aurelion sol ) teamming up with pantheon would be really unlikely.
@@heysalve9753 How would Mordekaiser fare against ASol? I don't see anything implying his power is that crazy.

Is it possible that Ornn in the cinematic is building a great weapon that he will one day unleash to remake the world like it was said in "The Lost Tales of Ornn". In the 5th chapter "The tragedy of the hearthblood" there is a quote that goes like this "Some say it is Ornn, lighting his furnace to keep the fires under the surface of the world from going out. Others say he is building a great weapon that he will one day unleash" and later on in the story when the question asked by the child “What do you believe happened to Ornn?” comes up, the response he gets is “I believe when the Great Builder returns, it will be to remake the world.”

The weapon looks like infinity edge though.
@@RomilAggarwal611 lol universe
So, a few things I noticed:
the stars that hit pantheon seam to come directly from the peak of the mountain and thay look a LOT like zoe's paddlestars amd it would make sense for her to be defending mount Targon from pantheon and not Aurelion Sol. Both him and Atrius hate the aspects after all, there could be a potential cooperation there. Lastly, Atreus seams to be able to call on the powers of the aspect every time he goes to war with a greater power, there could be something there for the future
Zoe doesn't makes sense either she just goes around playing she doesn't "work"
Atreus would never ally himself with A Sol, he hates all things non-human (EDIT: divine/nearly all the Aspects). Meanwhile A Sol wouldn't even recognise his existence 😂 would be exciting though
@@DrAlchem01 He doesn't hate all things not human, he likes soraka. You make him sound like a racist LOL
@@DrAlchem01 I think it’s less that he hates non-humans and more that Aurelion Sol is a god who sees mortal lives as insignificant and expendable. I don’t think Atreus would see him as any better than the aspects.
@@kerresft8745 lmao yeah reading that back it looks *super* racist 😂 huh well TIL. I thought he was just done with the whole idea of gods/Aspects and that humans don't need them. I guess there are a few he doesn't mind
So after some digging on the new stories Aatrox "MIGHT" be the guy that destroyed the face of the statue we see on the cinematic when it goes to Taliyah and Kai'sa. It's a statue of Xolaani and it is said that the most vicious Darkin put her to sleep with one attack and destroyed the face of her statue. And if you look at the cinematic it eerily looks like something Aatrox's sword would do.
Good theory
Actually it was most likely Aatrox. We need to remember that the dude is fucking massive and the slash going across the statue is obviously something done with a sword.
It was mentioned in the story that the Darkin didn't kill her with the blow, just laid her down for many centuries. Maybe my english is wrong but I don't think that means it killed her. It could have been Aatrox, but he is not that vicious, Rhaast is vicious, but sadly it can be a Darkin that was never even mentioned. We just don't have any information to assume it was Aatrox or Rhaast

omg i loved the kai sa sceens soooo much. the way they drew her that it actually looks like the void is part of her skin
Also it looks like she is aging a bit and getting roughier shapes on her face...she definitely looks older and more battle hardened than before
My theory is that Kai'Sa is luring Rek'Sai against the new Void Champion. In the new story of her and Taliyah, it is revealed that a new species of Void creatures has appeared, shining with blue light instead of purple, and the Xer'Sai HATE these new creatures.
So maybe Kai'Sa is trying to cause a royal battle between the Xer'Sai Queen and the new Void Empress :D
Poor rek sai she is going to get steam rolled
"blue light"
Remember that "magnum opus" that Au Sol made? Could it be that Au Sol DESIGNED new void creatures in his image? Those had stints of blue light as well.
@@Geheimnis-c2e Aurelion isn't associated with the Void. The void was there before existence and it was existence that awakened it. Aurelion is scared of the Void, so why would he make a new void species?
@@Geheimnis-c2e I think this is a natural development of the Void. Cause, the whole theme about the Void is Evolution, they are constantly changing and adapting. So, what if, while the Voidborn champions are still doing their original stuff in Runeterra, things in the Void evolved beyond their original design/plans?
Saying, instead of being "consume everything" it evolved into "conquer everything", cause now there's talks about "purple cities" and "rule everything" and an "Empress"
"Let them fight"
12:43
The sword Ornn smithed is the Infinity Edge or rather the Molten Edge. The design of the guard, the gem in middle and along with the glowing rune markings that is visible on the blade proves it.
If by chance Ornn will be involved in the void event it is because he is going to travel to the Middle of Shurima to dip the sword into the magical pool in order to bless the sword with the sharpest edge.
Well that is just a theory but everything just lines up perfectly if you think about it.
Its also the exact same hilt as the weapon icon for infinity edge. Almost has to be molten edge.
I think the reason why she isn't using a gag is because she so filled with rage and determination to win to help her people that the pain is nothing in comparison to how she's feeling
That and she got struck by lightning a few moments ago.
very poetic, but extremely unlikely.
it's not about that though it's the fact that it doesnt show her feeling pain. Though you can always argue that's due to adrenaline etc... IMO this kind of pain can't be ignored and should be showned but, why not ! Huge battle, lightnings etc... you can't stop yourself because of pain

Kai'Sa fighting Rek'Sai was my favorite part of the cinematic. I've wanted this battle for over a year now.
Ok but if Void 'event' is coming, and it's not just singular champion release thing then Im gonna ask for all the Void Figheters to actually do something (looking nervously at Zilean and Jax)
I think Jax is more likely the new VGU, Zilean is in his tower after all, he can't leave it. Honestly it is never mentioned that he can leave his tower, but I assume he doesn't go to other places because he is bound to it. Jax on the other hand is freely roaming around Runeterra, so it would make more sense if he helped to fight the void back in Shurima
dont forget lissandra
I think there are too many champions fighting the void for all of them to have a major role. Eventaully, it's like 8 different teams fighting against the void in their own ways, and one (or few) of them are gonna be in the lead, the rest will be just side roles. Hopefully, their side roles will be more than Yorick's brief mention in the non-canon client novel.
"the Void Figheters", Zilean is never a figher, learn more about him in LoR.
As a Rek'Sai main I hope Kai'Sa gets eaten.
One thing I haven't seen being noticed is the metaphoric meaning behind Ornn's forging scene. That is how only through getting beaten can the characters be made stronger, similar to how in order to harden the blade, Ornn beats it with a hammer before quenching it.
Could you imagine of Pantheon went to the Star to actually free Asol?
I know I know, he hates the gods but listen to this: Both him and Asol were forced to the will of the Aspect of War. Just imagine him rising to the stars not to strike down the dragon but free his chains
This... this is a good point
Dude I was thinking of the same thing
I imagine in the next event they would actually free Asol from the crown and h*ly shit would that be awesome
I think it's a good idea BUT ASol is such an egocentric being, I don't see him teaming up with a "simple mortal toying with an Aspect's power"
Nah, i dont think he will release Asol, he didnt even know about the crown on Asol head
Wouldn't asol wipe out the entire planet from existence the moment he's freed? Would pantheon want that? Would he be practical? Or no comprimise even in the face of armegeddon.
3:05 even though they would be called celestials or aspects in the game, I feel like Aurelion Sol, Bard, and Kindred are definitely worthy of being considered gods
Bard is just a troll
"Your fate was sealed the moment you picked up Targon's spear." -Aurelion Sol
Yeah, I think he might not like Pantheon
"The stars are falling down, no one knows why"
So, what you are saying is:
Star Guardians are now cannon, Lux and Ahri get another skin
The star might be from the arbiter of the peak from LoR since the arbiter's job is to protect Targon's peak.

@@RafaSilva98 Awaken is a bit behind in term of lore, probably the best of the four cinematic but the less important lore wise.
January 2024, still no void event
Any day now. Copium
Ngl the sword that ornn forged looks extremely similar to the infinity edge, so in this case it would be more correct to call it the molten edge. The guard is basically identical and the fact that the blade has runes on the flat part matches as well
You were absolutely on the money about there being a big void event, right down to the probability of void corrupted skins.
Personally, I believe Atreus was headed to The Peak to travel to the actual Celestial Realm. He could be on a quest to harness the full power of the now-not-so-much-alive Aspect of War.
Also, really really hoping we get to see Ornn fight a Frozen Watcher. What better ending to the event can there be? :D
I find it likely that Atreus headed to the celestial realm for a reason, but Ornn fighting a Watcher? A Watcher COULD only be destroyed by an entity like Aurelion, Orrn is very powerful compared to other beings in Runeterra, but a Watcher would obliterate him
Imagine if victor was the champ all along, and this was a teaser for his rework, so they update him to the arcane lore with shimmer accross his body,
GLORIOUS EVOLUTION
I think riot won't be able to do the Void event in 1 season. Void is the most impactful and most dangerous threat across Runeterra and it would be weird if some 2 demi-gods fighting would be of help against the watchers which even weakened ASol was afraid of.
There are 2 reasons which might be why Riot is tuning down their work, The first one would be that they are scared of doing the same thing that happened in the Ruination OR they are planning something as big as the Ruination (or probably even bigger) but better.
It could be, but at the same time it'd be weird for Riot to release the supposed big bad of the void event and not do the event itself for a long ass while. Even though Viego came out early last year and Ruination was only during the summer, it still happened in 1 season.
Only way I can see it happening is if the event itself will be so massive they'll have to cut it in two parts. First part which will include the Void Empress will unravel during this season, and at the end as they take her down, the battle in Freljord between Sejuani, Volibear and possibly Ornn might reawaken a watcher, which will lead into the second part involving Lissandra and more powerful forces like Asol, Aspects etc.
Asol wasnt afraid of the void. He was referring to him sensing fear from the aspects for the first time as he disobeyed their commands and even evaporated pantheon. They witnessed him talking control which meant their started losing their grip on him.
If there was a void event it wouldn't be a massive fight against it. Most likely the new voidborn champ will try to attack a city and devour it, most likely Belveth. The void is supposed to be the biggest and latest enemy Runeterra will face, entire nations uniting to finally end the Watchers. But that is very, very far away
I agree .... But maybe THIS is the the 1 big scale attack from the void .... A tease of how runaterra will fight .... And if they get repelled ....
Hope some one talks sense into mordekaiser, pantheon befriends aurelion and the sentienls wake Viego up
Beacuse runaterra will need absolutely everything to stand a chance against the void
Also remember that all voidborne are weak when they cross out of his dimension so is not crazy that they can repell the first big attack even with the empress
@@vergil9981 I dont think it will only stay at trying to repel the void borne, because in the hollow spun short story (the story before Taliyah and Kai'Sa met and went to Xolan) there was a kind of void borne called the LampLights by Kai'Sa that makes the hatchlings and callers stronger by giving the others a glow.
but what doesn't make sense is that the Dunebreaker (also a voidborne) sees the LampLights as enemy and starts to chase the power away. (i think the dunebreaker also went and kill the ones that received the glow)
So it might not only be the void that is the problem here.
Boy it feels so sad to watch this vid in 2023 with the benefit of hindsight and hearing Necrit theorize about the Void event and all the cool things that could happen in it when in fact we didn't get any of those things and 2022 was as exciting as a slightly humid and lukewarm piece of bread that's been sitting on the counter for 2 days when it comes to events in League lol
With the Viktor tease at the end I wonder if he's going to get some treatment that Miss Fortune got a while ago, where their in-game model stays the same but the splash arts get updated. I theorize this simply due to Viktor's teaser image being an updated version of his splash art.
I am geting same vibes from Atreus as from Thor in Infinity war. I dont know why, but I love it.
That sword looks exactly like infinty edge
My happiness with eating my good food while watching Necrit and listening to his good story telling voice.
I'm going pretty cospiracy on the Artreus part of the cinematic but isn't is interesting how he gets hit by possibly starfire and doesn't even have as much as a scratch?
Also Leona jumps to the side while having the shot coming from her back, I think she knew that the barrage was coming since....why would the one with the back turned on the canon see the bullet faster than the one the shot is coming straight for?
Anyway, what if Aurelion was ordered to shoot down Pantheon so he doesn't reach the mountain but gave some kind of information to Pantheon on how to get closer to his goals by finding Sol? Isn't it weird how Pantheon flies straight for the stars instead of reentering the fight with Leona or even remotely going for Mt.Targon?
I think Sol realized that something weird happened to his old Nemesis Pantheon, maybe he even found out that the actual Aspect is dead and now he wants to allie with the person that now wants to destroy Targon just as much as he does,
In the cinematic there's a close up shot of pantheons eyes focusing on fighting Leona and for a split second he looks up. Then it cuts to Leona, brows furrowed and then she dodged.
Leona didn't know it was coming, pantheon basically inadvertently warned her about it by focusing his gaze on it.
Besides Leona is also a god like panth. So yeah, they can do superhuman things. Like maybe she can sense the heat coming from it. Since the sun is a star. And sol just shot a star at panth.
Doesn't really make sense why would the aspects order Aurelion to stop Atreus from reaching the peak, but not ordering him to help defeat the darking or the void rift that opened in Icathia or other parts of Runeterra
@@tamas9554 Because non of them got close enough to the mountain, the only way into the celestial realm. The last time someone came close enough to being a direct threat (Aatrox), War came down himself and we all know how that turned out.
Reducing all direct defensive operations to simply defending the front gate into their realm while by that also minimizing the risk that comes with the "use" of Aurelion seems pretty reasonable. Defend the gates, simple stuff.
@@kunibertrandolf1886 This theory would make sense if we had any evidence, but sadly we got no storyes for Targon. Until then I could even say that Kayle will fight Pantheon in the celestial realm, because we know nothing
I mean Atreus is the plot armor of lol so it doesn't surprise me
Olaf had his knees bent when the ice hit him because his legs could break otherwise, but he was massive compared to the others in the first appearance. Just thought you should know.
Atreus and kratos would be best buddies
Ornn is definitely preparing for something, specially if humans want to fight volibear, he might help
Kai'sa is likely able to get out of the void so she don't mind to dive and drive reksai into the void
"We can call them Ramforged skins"
Riot, not certain how to call the new skins: " Write that down! Write that down!"
LMAO
I hope Kassadin and Jax are important characters in the event.
I was literally waiting for this video. Thank you Necrit for being fast about it.
I hope Lissandra makes an appearance. She's pretty involved with the prevention of the void.
Not gonna happen. Tencent will not push the real lore to the audience. It’s all about overusing materials to make more sells.
Viktor is one of the most popular characters from Arcane, maybe they're using him on promo images to capitalise on that popularity for marketing purposes.
I know people meme about this, but wouldn't it be cool if Jax seeked out Orn to craft him a " REAL weapon" so he can march against the void along with his recruits?
that was retconed
Happy New Year Necrit. Thanks again for your lore friendly videos.
yeah void event haha what a good event it was haha
haha it was so cool when bel'veth said, "it's Bel'vin time" and totally bel'ved all over the resistance haha.
I don't think Sejuani brought Bristle to fight the Shamans...that's probably a random yak.
Nasus would go on to say that Taliyah and Kai'sa were roomates
Thinking this is my favorite cinematic yet. Still can't stop rewatching it.
I miss the time when we were excited for the void event
It didn't happen though hahaha
Based on the blade and hilt design, it looks like the sword that Ornn forged is Infinity Edge. IE's lore involves the Oasis of Dawn in Shurima, so maybe it's being retconned, or it's teasing part of the void event's story.
When the song goes into its final chorus and panth shoots up into the sky. That was something that resonated with me. It was such a cool scene
Rip void event
you know so much this lore man ... thank you for helping understand the cinematic
I kinda hope they do not shut down completely the void. And I'm so excited to see what lissandra is gonna do. Other question, is ornn gonna forge true ice for liss? Lol. I want to see lisssandra and her plans in action.
Honestly, I'd love to see Viktor (and maybe even Jayce) meet up with Ornn and all the crazy Inventor Dude Bro stuff they can get up to, like helping Ornn with creating the weapons for the Champions who are going to fight the Void.
What if Xolaani is the third darkin, who has been severly corrupted by the Ikathian voidborne?
She entered the void following her visions and disappeared inside for milenia, and now reemerges to claim her empire.
Atleast the name has the double a
@@armaslohemadu OMG that too.
This pretty much confirms it then doesn't it?
Way too many sings, it's soo obvious
Xolaani never became a Darkin based on the story, nor does it mention that she had visions from the void
When is the Lore Behind 2023 Cinematic coming lol? I can't wait for Necrit to tell me everything about that flycam...
I dont think we will see Aureleon in an event, unless we just see him chained to targon. And if Aureleon was released, the void would be done for, but so would the rest of runeterra. Cant really do anything with him imo.
Doubt so ... Aurelion when he closed a portal he could not do it the portal freed him while he was nearby and let the world die .... But when he saw what was on the other side of that portal he decided to snap a full star into the portal ... And if something scared aurelion itself .... Welp GG runaterra
I think it's likely they'll involve Zoe somehow, since she's so closely tied to Aurelion. That, and Pantheon's comment about facing many gods but the worst bearing the face of a child.
Not exactly true I'd say. Aurelion states that for the first time ever he felt fear when looking into the void, there is SOMETHING in there that should be about as powerful as he is.
@@ruiribeiro8010 agreed, aurelion sol is currently the most powerful being in the universe. However, the void existence that is being mentioned in his story strikes fear in him. Something that as of this moment we still unable to take any measurement upon other than 'it' arguably ,like aurelion sol himself , possess the power to completely wipe out the entire universe and and life existences.
Leona saw the reflection of the falling star in Pantheon's eyes, she breaks the stalemate and pulls back just before the star hits... Pantheon is taken aback by her sudden retreat, and only just barely gets his shield up before taking the blast which knocks him from the mountain... in that scene of him getting hit you can see Leona scrambling back further onto the plateau.
Actually, we kinda know what Atreus is doing there, because when the Prestige Skin: Ascended Pantheon came out, Riot revealed, that this skin along with the other skins of the Event, is indeed canon. So Pantheon is there because he is going to not only become the Host of the Aspect of War, he is going to become the Aspect of War himself.
Wasn’t the ascended pantheon skin not cannon in the end?
@@pl4sma59 as far I know Riot said that this is at the moment the only skin that is canon
@@slime_v2 There are many skins which are canon.
Freljord Sylas, Sentinal Skins, Captain MF, just to name few.
And I think Riot said that his ascended skin is not canon
@@sorpilius1097 They said it is canon. The only canon one among the prestige skins, to be more precise. So, yes, there are lots of canon skins, but this is the sole one that's also a prestige one.
@@theyounglinker5044 Nope Ascended Pantheon is not canon, it was, then it got changed to noncanon.
I just hope they remake the ascended map into the Void event. I love that map so much and it's lore accurate too
Hey man, I've got a suggestion of some kind for your videos. Instead of using still images from the cinematics, try using really slow videos that are moving just slightly. Think it will spice the video up, otherwise great job!
The frame rate would be choppy and not very pleasing to watch. I'd say he should zoom in a bit and pan the images around(for the breakdowns, I think he does a good job with story renditions)
If i remember correctly ornn hasn't forged a weapon since his village was destroyed so him making a weapon is already a big sign that a big event is coming
7 months later and with the release of bel veth im still waiting for that void event. ah well, maybe after the weeb event that they never will make into a actual anime.
aaaaaaand spirit blossom.
Love the cinematic, my favourite tbh and specially because: Panth = 1 of my 3 mains, been playing Sejuani these days and her lore is really cool, love Leona, the freljord Gods and I used to play Olaf
Sejuani: Seems angry but not in pain
Also Sejuania: Just got struck by fucking Lightning
That woman is tough and I love it. I just love how she looks and acts in this cinematic.
I love how ornn just smiting is the most important thing, while others fight, this is beautiful
Am I going crazy? I saw the first star and my initial thought was Zoe (especially with the accuracy of it clearly being aimed at Pantheon but not touching Leona). The multi starfall changed my mind to Aurelion, but I find it odd Zoe's not name dropped in any analysis, even just offhandedly (one dude even said only one champion is associated with stars...). I feel like she'll be at least somewhat relevant because of her connection to ASol so I just find it odd she hasn't been mentioned even briefly. Plus, Pantheon's line about facing many gods but the worst bearing the face of a child also leads me to believe they'll show us some interaction with some combos of all three (Zoe, Panth, Asol). All of them, Zoe-Panth, Zoe-Asol, etc.
I really really hope Ornn also gets a skin for the event apart from crafting all the weapons, it's such a fantastic character, and yes, the elderwood skin is impressive, but I hope something really unique comes for the Forge God
Kai'Sa seems to have been fighting the Void since forever. It's about time she made some damn progress, lol.
the taliyah looks so gorgeous in the last cinematic same for kaisa which made me think of maining both
ps:i already bought taliyah
As a Volibear otp since s2 i always hoped to see a cinematic with him. And i'm more than satisfied about the fact that we can only see his silhouette. A true god simply can't be shown in a physical form that easy ;)
I'm calling it now, Jax is finally going to have a real weapon
The fact that you have a woman (Leona) be the character who descends down to face her challenger, a man (MAN), instead of the usual, Guy op, girl is the challenger trend, is something I really liked. And oof when their shields clash and they show Atreus's bare feet just slide across the ground throwing up dust. Ooof. Riot knows how to make cinematics.
PS - Olaf breaking ice the size of a small house with his back is gym goals.
