Niceeeee
@@parkervaness420 Mordekaiser Numero Uno
MORDEKAISER IS NUMERO UNOI!!!!!!!
YES! YES! YES!
“Don’t worry, she doesn’t bite”
The dog:
YES SHE DO!!!
It doesn't bite, but it stabs😂😂
You should watch the teaser trailer, it's amazingly good and it's much better for lore than the gameplay one
It's the best cinematic riot has produced in years.
yesss!
Epilepsy warning!!!
It may be a little confusing for those who know nothing about darkins but the cinematic still gets the point across of a person's consciousness that was in a weapon and then transfers to the body of a dog that now controls a pack.
Agreed
Luna's barking actually fit in so well
fr i was like, wait wasnt that actually part of the orchestra and not luna's barking??
This track really communicates the freedom and thrill naafiri feels after being released, but also with sections communicating her unimaginable pain and anxiety over both being trapped for millenia in constant torment, as well as being trapped with the memory of her trauma from icathia and having to recall that. It also gets across the hesitation she initially felt at allowing herself to sunder her conciousness to become one with the pack.
“Who’s a good dog? We are!” *proceeds to pet the murder dogo*
:)
Whoever recommended the teaser trailer was right, her trailer is extremely unique.
They use some impressionistic imagery that is really really cool.
Some other cool symbolism in this theme -- the first part of the song where we're introduced to the strings and the electric guitar and more growly beat separately are meant to symbolize the pack and naafiri separately. Later in the song, when they are finally in sync the electric guitar begins to mimick jackal/wild dog laughs (9:12 in this video). The champ's designers said that all of Naafiri's design was largely inspired by Hyenas and African Wild Dogs.
when Luna knew you're reacting to a fierce dog's theme, she couldn't sit still.
Not gonna lie, your dog barking during this fit in perfectly ahaha!
Really wished that you reacted to her cinematic trailer also! It's absolutely amazing!
Next time!
the fact that we also get a champion along with this absolute BANGER is crazy.
The point about contrast in the middle of an intense piece of music actually resonates with me. When I first heard this track I did catch myself starting to zone out from that intense pace. And then that pause came at just the right time.
It also ties into her narrative. I don't quite want to spoil it if you wish to do a full breakdown, but suffice it to say that the two intense pieces of music tied by a period of anxiety and nothingness (empty space may be the better word) has a very strong thematic tie to her story.
Also Luna is adorable. Please give her pets from us.
I love the kinda arabic/oriental vibe/tempo under the metal part. As they are Corrupted Shurimans in origin which is Egypt of Runeterra
The middle section being more quiet and ominous also represents the moment naafiri was trapped, the violent random chords at the beginning almost sounding like her trying to escape it but with no sucess follow by the silence and whispers of the time she spend there until the hounds bite the dagger and she awakens again with the music now a little more intense and with a new harmony of the strings representing her new form and her new state of mind
watch her cinematic, youre gonna love it
I like that you can hear elements of Rhaast and Aatrox's themes in Naafiri's.
All of their themes are focused on a war march sound. They used to be god warriors after all. ⚔️
you gotta see the original teaser animation for Naafiri, really cool stuff
It genuinely makes me so happy to hear death metal used in any capacity in mainstream games/movie/shows more and more. It's been my favorite genre even since I was little.
Not metal
I love how much distortion is in this track. It gets the theme of the region and shows pain, horror and anger, that's more about the character.
I havent seen the video yet but this reaction was a FAST and welcome one. love her thematic
Naafiri’s lore is actually very interesting,now i won’t go into it because i have gotten to the point where my eyes are closed for longer than they are open per minute but just know that:
Doge hunt,doge not alone,doge possesed,doge traumatized,doge want family,doge eat.
lol 💀
(Holy f i forgot to listen to her theme until now so im getting to listen to it with u and it’s already such a banger barely in wth?!)
Always a pleasure watching your breakdown of League themes and the feelings they evoke.
I especially liked the section in this video you explain the vocal techniques for grabbing the attention of the audience. Great stuff!
Glad you enjoyed!
Luna content AND Marco content?? Blessed day
Wow, the first part of it is like a chase in a way, slow build up when you think you see someone behind you, then the running rythm and later that heavy sound with a eerie string behind it. It just sounds like a horror chase scene with ripping the prey to shreds at the end.
The whispering part does sound ominous and builds tention and in general that part gives the feel of folse sense of security (still filled with tension as if you know something is out there but you're just hiding) and the buildup sounds like running in the distance and then we are back to the relentrles brutality of main part of the song. (I'm not a music expert at all, I just like to describe what I feel when I hear the music)
la forma en que reaccionas temas musicales para mi es tan original, sobre todo porque siempre pones de tu cosecha y no solo reaccionas diciendo "guau que genial" o similar, muchos animos, esperare con ansias a Mordekaiser y Swain
Aveces me gusta solamente escuchar pero quando tengo un idea la presento
@@MarcoMeatball Uhh no pensé que sabías hablar español XD
@@jrcervincervin2782Muy probablemente con ayuda de Google traductor.
I've fallen in love with that theme. It's so damn good !
But a thing that strangely resonates with me, is the subtil similarities you can hear with Fiddlestick's theme. There are a lot of sound effects, melodies and sound design that make me think about Fiddlestick. And I think the reason for that is the one word that unify both Naafiri and Fiddlestick together is : Fear. Both are heavy figures of Fear in its most primal form. But there is a main difference beetween the two of them. The music for Fiddlestick plays a lot on paranoia : the fear of a huge threat lurking in the shadows, in every corner of the space and all around us, ready to strike at any given moment. Simply put : an embodiment of Nightmare and "psychose". Yet Naafiri's theme go in the opposite feeling of Fear : the fear of being chased down by a group of beasts, running desperately for a safe spot, only to die in a horrible way. As the audience, we're witnessing a bloody chase, both as predator and as prey.
That's one of the main reasons why I think Naafiri's theme is a masterpiece. It gives the same sense of fear that Fiddlestick has, but because of the instruments, rythm and melody used, we find ourselves in a completely different atmosphere. And I love it !
Thanks for your reaction Marco. It's once again a delight to hear your analysis about an amazing music. And your feedback is, as always, on point !
(Sorry for my English, it probably has many errors in it. Difficult to be French sometimes xD)
Pas des problem ;)
also the arcane song "playground"
I was hearing this amazing theme yesterday and just thought of you maybe reacting to it soon.
Glad we didn't wait long for it!
Great video as always❤️
I love how I can almost fell the metal of the instruments in a theme of a dog with knifes flowing through its body
Aside from what you said, the whispering also serves as a connection to the void, as unintelligable whispering is often associated with the void, as can also be seen (or rather, heard) in Arcane whenever shimmer is being used by someone.
my suggestion is still the irelia theme. One of the most catching pieces I've heard.
And piggy backing on Irelia, Swain's. Wonder if he'll catch the chord prog connection irl.
Dude, the second I saw the champion theme release on TH-cam I was hoping for this lol
Love you Marco, thank you for doing more league content. I hope you're having a good day.
Not me turning to look at the screen as he starts whispering telling me it gets my attention.....
My favourite parts of the piece are; the pitter patter of feet running and the quick guitar with drums riff/drop sounding like a jackal or hyena laughing. (Especially the last *two 9:03 with a end howl! & 9:13 both spaced out from the normal drum roll with the electric guitar being front and center instead of the drums.)
Is the pitter patter a guitar key against a hard surface i wonder? It almost sounds like castanets but a little less clacky
@@eiriksundby it sounds like clapping/slapping to me. it could very well be a wood instrument though. Maybe even muted drums or just hitting something hollow like a desk or something (maybe with a cloth over it?).
Love watching that classically trained analysis face crack, and then delve into the childlike enthusiasm of what made you fall in love with music in the first place: pure enjoyment instead of pure focus and the weight of perfectionism.
Also, if you're looking for an excellent and difficult streaming game: Crypt of the NecroDancer. You'll love all the puns and chess like dancing.
imo naafiri's, irelia's, kindreds, aphelios, jhins and camilles are by far my favourites. (oh and asol's)
Love the content! Posting for that algorithm boost, you deserve it
Man you NEED to see her cinematic its so good
Day one of politely asking Marco to react to Neeko's theme from league. Probably my favourite theme
I'd also recommend he listen to 'Shine On' by Brain Tan and Abigail Osborn after he listens to Neeko's theme. So good
Because you already covered Aatrox and Naafiri I would recomend checking their fellow darkin. Kayn has two themes one for, well... Kayn, and the other one for Rhaast.
I would be greatfull for considering them for the next one (after Mordekaiser of course)
Just to clarify the two themes are 'Shadow Kayn: The Shadow Reaper' and 'Darkin Kayn: The Shadow Reaper'
No love for Varus? Oh, right, he forgot the memo...
@@Undomaranel VARUS. V-A-R-U-S YOUR NAME SHOULD HAVE AN A AND THEN ANOTHER A VARUS ,THERE WAS A MEMO VARUS THERE WAS A MEMO
Dog is so preddy
I can’t wait for Xayah and Rakan. U’ll be extremely surprised 🎉 I love to watch your reactions cuz I’m mostly feeling the same way as u do and it’s so cool
I love how the drums is like the pac of hounds , and the more you hear it it’s like they get closer and closer!!
Pretty confident I heard some shared motifs in the Darkin themes.
I’m sure someon will go through and make note of them specifically, haha
Luna barking in the middle gave the video a really cool touch
YOU SHOULD'VE WATCHED THE TEASER TRAILERR ITS SO GOOD 😭😭😭
I WAS WAITING FOR THISSSSSSSSSSSa
She had a cinematic. It would have been better if you watched that instead of the gameplay trailer. But if you didn't know, that's fine.
Yes!! Im glad you're focusing more on LoL music! It is sooo good. The ruined king and some of the bands that LoL have produced (KDA and Pentakill) are amazing.
i like how from the first stanza to the second u can hear the difference between the slow stalk, into the fast chase
I feel like this music successfully transmits a sense of multiplicity (a swarm like feel) and of chase. Very nice
When he started whispering I just looked up from my phone and stared at the screen, so yes it does gain your attention
I would really really really recommend Shine On from the League of Legends Card game Legends of Runeterra!! Its based on Neeko's theme and its a really good song and i like it :)
Pure....unbridled.......aggression and bloodlust
When she ults and summons a dozen of dogs all i can hear is her song
i would love to see necrit and marco in the same room each nerding about their passions
On the musical gesture, I'd say that part brings some playfulness in the violence feeling of the song
I keep thinking your pupper’s barks were part of the soundtrack haha. Also, I like the distorted corvid and elephant sounds that the composer mixed in.
Ah I only wish you watched the other trailer rather than the gameplay one, it rules!
so cool 👍
Luna is so cute 🥺
Waiting for you to react to Rell's theme. Even when I'm not in the mood to play league something about that song always makes me want to.
Sudden Marco ASMR is sudden.
The moment you realize there is elements of Azir's Theme (and by extension the Shurima theme)
man if you're into hard rock mordekaiser's theme will be bliss for your ears
Ohhhhhh GAHD DAYUM. That tickles me in just the right way. If viciousness and bearing your teeth had a sound.
She carries the drums of war in her song
I suggest Warwick and Urgot themes, they are gonna be a banger
lmao the dog interruption
If I actually knew nothing about Naafiri and had to try and create a concept for the character based on the music alone, what comes to mind is some brutal champion of an underground fighting pit. The "hits" as he put it to me bring to mind claps of an audience cheering for him.
the way that they implemented the chacal laugh in the song at 9:03 is different stuff
Sucks that you didn't see the cinematic on this one. The theme was made for that video
Can’t wait for yorick
Woof woof woof
You should try and listen to Galio theme (also from league of legend), it is not known at all because it is not a popular champion but the character is really majestic so is his theme !
Could you do Urgot at some point? He is quite badass and has a cool theme!
It would be awesome if you could hear Swain's theme as well as his teaser
7:21 Luna knows the pack is comming...
Guess this one got into your schedule quite suddenly, huh?
Yea
Watch out Marco. Luna might grow a dagger out her skull one night.
Dog!!!!❤❤❤
Luna's now part of the pack
Listening to Naafiri and getting scared by a real dog is actually hilarious.
The moment the guitar kicked in I went "Oh yeah, Naafiri is a Darkin, I forgot about that".
7:25 I wasn't looking at screen and I genuinely thought that barking was part of the song
If you get a kick out of the vibe of this, then i’d like to suggest killer instinct (the soft reboot, which isn’t hard to find it’ll be the first that comes up)
There’s so much personality in each characters, theme, pulling from heavy-metal to different cultures around the world, not for you specifically to start so that you’re not immediately overwhelmed I’d say to go with blade wolf, beautifully captures the essence of Silver screen monster horror
the music in killer instinc was made by mick gordon so i mean how can it not be good
@@marcodxd3631 Damn straight 👉
I don't find any videos on your channel about Arcane, the animated show based on League of Legends. I'm surprised, since it has some great music and a soundtrack that was exclusively composed for the series by Riot's music department together with a variety of well-known artists. Sure, it's not a video game in itself, but... at least it's based on one. :P Would be great to see you react to it.
I don't think he watch it yet.
The doom guy got reincarnated into a dog from League of Legends.
Doggo👌
naafiri reminds you of aatrox because they are the same they are both darkin, darkin are sealed inside weapons to prevent them from destroying the world
i forgot the logistics but thats pretty much the point
can you do Kai'sa theme soon? i think her theme is quite interesting and the character overall is pretty cool
i am once again asking for you to listen to the wrath of the righteous OST, specifically the "Mythic Power" music, the main theme, and angel theme
I have been betrayed, Mordekaiser was promised next . . . he has been delayed to the next one xD
DOG ❤
I believe the chanting is meant to represent “The void whispering” Shurmian ascended get this whispering who tries to corrupt these ascended so they have a material body
5:53 MarcoMeatball ASMR video when?
Please do Diana, you will absolutely adore her theme and lore. Also watch her cinematic with Leona to understand better the relationship with her.
I would love to see Ekkos
Sounds so much like Doom, god damn
God Riot never fails when it comes to music and ESPECIALLY the darkin!
