More Lwa! Woooooooo! I'm so excited! I didn't think she'd be a mage, but I'm just especially excited that she won't be, so she can play alongside Baron.
Lore Lady is so awesome at the delivery and the cool panning around the map adds so much gravitas too. and Denton flapping his arms XD cant get enough of this stuff and cant wait to play more Smite
She looks so cool but what happened with the cool cinematography for her? Y'all have been doing an excellent job with the laster God's release and missed out on this one
Wow, I never seen a God get this much coverage before their release, lol...they must really be proud of the work they did with this one a 2nd voodoo God awesome
@@cupid1313pr yea and as an Irish person Maman Brigitte always represented something to me that some people just don't get. I'm not a Voodoo practitioner and I'd never want to send any disrespect to them or the Lwa. Maman Brigitte is one of the very very few examples of a pantheon having a different ethnicity in their court. She represents solidarity and respect and love between people's to me. She also embodies alot of Irish classic behaviors like the swearing and loving rum. What she does for her work as a Lwa is impressive and stunning what she represents by being an Irish looking woman is just so much more. Her and baron being consorts is the only example of an interracial couple in theology that I know. TLDR: I'm very glad they stayed true to her traditional visage. And I hope the other female Lwa that are dark skinned make it to smite!
From what I understand, she was originally darker in history but then, like you, that wouldn’t be fair to those who grew up knowing the alternate version. Not like it was their fault. So I think Hi-Rez did a nice middle ground. Taken from Wikipedia: Due to the religious persecution of enslaved African and Caribbean people in Haiti and the Americas, Maman Brigitte was disguised via syncretism and represented by various saints, usually those depicted with fire or snakes, including Brigid of Kildare and, less frequently, Mary Magdalene.[1]
@@A.R.T.4 I think Hi-Rez made a nice middle ground too. I do understand how syncretism works but that is history in action. Her being mixed with Brigitte of Kildare shows an important insight on the relationship between enslaved people's and the Irish in early America. Adopting her Irish looking visage is a beautiful way to convey how history has played out with them. Even the Irish gods were reduced and the pantheon ravaged by Christian colonialism and they did what they needed to survive. Her being red headed itself tells a story. If it was JUST syncretism you'd think she'd be a straight haired blond woman. Her being foul mouthed and having curly red hair means more than just "they made her white, only her, to synchronize and be accepted by white people." But she's the only white one? To my knowledge at least. Idk it feels like the Wikipedia variant is just watered down and downplays the importance of the history of Mamans appearance
As someone from the Caribbean, I'd like to point out that these entities were created by slaves to escape complete cultural assimilation. And any semblance it has to the Celtic version may just be in appearance and name only. While each country wholes different views on voodoo/obeah a lot of why these deities held European-like appearance was to mock European culture and get back at them in their way, similar to old school Carnival. More than likely She has an actual counterpart from an African tribe but due to colonial indoctrination, she was changed to Maman either for the slave to save face or for the clergy to start them into conversion.
And for those who don’t know no she is not a lesbian. It’s just tradition when people are buried they make tribute to her if it’s female or baron if it’s male.
@@nyaplays9289 Jungle is a role, not a class. There are only 2 classes in the game that are magical: mage and guardian. The OP asked what class, so saying jungle is not correct.
Just a bad version of multiple gods, they pulled all of her kit from different gods and made them a little different but so much worse and she’s a dot assassin ? She’s gonna be worse then yu huang at release calling it now, she’s gonna get clapped every game.
@@gaborkovacs6123 Isn't that what "consort" literally means, though? A spouse; husband or wife. I think the term "consort" is usually used for the spouse of royalty
She looks so cool can’t wait for a baron and mamam combo
Yeah
I feel like the underworld should have a comeback because of how cool it looks and how season 5-7 actually seemed like a battleground fit for gods
More Lwa! Woooooooo! I'm so excited! I didn't think she'd be a mage, but I'm just especially excited that she won't be, so she can play alongside Baron.
Don’t worry, she’s designed to play as an assassin
@@MaxEllSibSwe Like Ao Kung!
Magical assassin
So we can agree now that mamam knows best
MOTHER KNOWS BEST!
Baba knows best, deary...👵🛖
I called it that she was going to be an the first Voodoo assassin! The first magical assassin we had in years!
Lore Lady is so awesome at the delivery and the cool panning around the map adds so much gravitas too. and Denton flapping his arms XD
cant get enough of this stuff and cant wait to play more Smite
Baron caught himself a baddie
I love the voodoo aesthetic-more voodoo gods please!!!
She looks so cool but what happened with the cool cinematography for her? Y'all have been doing an excellent job with the laster God's release and missed out on this one
I really like I how they portrayed her. She look so fun.
I like how she holds the dagger like some sort of casual serial killer. Lol
My birthday is September 27th, I love the birthday gift Smite
Hou yi + Chang'e mains found some new mains
Wow, I never seen a God get this much coverage before their release, lol...they must really be proud of the work they did with this one a 2nd voodoo God awesome
You must not have been there for Cthulu's release then.
@@insolidusytI think Baba as well had a lot of teasers before her debut
@@samarasmr7715 Cliodhna, Yemoja, Ganesh, Shiva, Surtr... by comparison Mamon didn't even get an animated trailer

The queen has come!!!!
Cant wait for joybou
Oof i was already convinced with nox like dash ! Hype !
First, I’m goin to re-download smite again
What a nice lady she is. I'd make her my friend for sure =D
I really miss the underworld
I wondered if they would have her relating to the celtic gods
Well they gave her the red hair as an homage to that version of her but she is a voodoo God in Smite.

No more animations 3D?
What is it a mage or assasing ?
this is so hype!! omg omg omg
That's it.
And for those who don’t know no she is not a lesbian. It’s just tradition when people are buried they make tribute to her if it’s female or baron if it’s male.
Where is her awesome CGI reveal video?
What class is she?
Assassin
I'm pretty sure she's technically a mage, but in the same way that Ao Kuang is a "mage" just to give magical damage.
@@GazeboPeltno, shes a jungle with magic abilites
@@nyaplays9289 I think that was his point

Can you please stop edging me Hi-Rez?!
Isn't she like Irish or something? I remember reading up on the origins of her lore a year ago
Syncretism. An aAfrican diety hidden in a Roman Saint.
No she’s not
Wait why is the Irish/Loa goddess not white as she was known?
She was literally the only white Loa?
Where. IS NAMAZU?! why won't you make the giant earthquake making catfish from japanese mythology?!
Cada vez menos ganas de vivir este juego ya no la cinemática del juego la hacen jajaja
Dan moet je niet spelen hè
she's kinda thicc
"Wisest of the LWA" - Lesbians with attitude.

Its gey-dey
This needs to be pinned
im genuinely suprised they let us keep her white with red hair(
Maman and Baron go both ways and like to sleep with mortals.
She’s not lore accurate actually she’s black but go off
