Knowing that Amumu is actually several thousand years old, being all alone the whole time doesn't make it less sad tbh. If you liked this you should watch ANNIE: Origins too even though it isn't a music video. It is a really well made story that will play with your feelings just like this one did.^^
Prinztropius I’ll be sure to check it out🤠
@@ShatteredFocusProductions also in old lore of the game annie was only one who was able to be amumus friend because of a protection of item inbued by her mother's magic to protect her
@@ShatteredFocusProductions please do check out Annie origins it's a great cinematic the art style is so interesting aswell
@@ShatteredFocusProductions Annie: Origins is totally necessary
@@luk4s56 yeah but they changed everyone's Lore
those old champs, specifically.
The moment you said, the door could go to heaven in combination with a suicide attempt , brooooooo that hit different
Pascal G it be like that
It makes sense considering people also see the song being a metaphor for depression.
Don't forget that even Kindred, the personification of death itself denies Amumu release from his Sorrow
@@yunogasai3350 amumu have two different curses, the one lets everyone hate him, and the other, kills everything he touches, thats so fucking sad, maybe thats why kindred dont wants to help him.
You wanna know what's sad. His tears are his main source of damage in the game.
I'd argue it's his bandages
Id believe that. They certainly hit hard here.
"The curse hasn't affected him yet"
Every plant in the shot: *dying painfully*
Don't normally comment on anything but pretty much have watched all your league reactions, I like how you genuinely try to dissect what is happening and drop some knowledge on production side of things. Keep it up homie love it!
Ojay Appreciate ya! Glad you enjoy them🤠
@@ShatteredFocusProductions You can watch the harrowing league of legend video. That is another art style that you will find interesting.
You should really react to the “As We Fall” Cinematic. It’s really Emotionally driven and the Effects are Insane
^^^^^ One of my favorites
He should def watch it, the artistic value of it is pretty sweet
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DO IT
Yes yes YESSS
you know... when you pick Amumu as your champion in the game, he says with a sad voice: "I thought you'd never pick me" and damn, that hits hard in the feelings knowing his story
You were so close to crying.
I love it.
Im not alone.
This video actually does a pretty good job of showing his abilities in game, and his in-game theme fits his character really well. You were right about the bandages shooting to the moon; 'Bandage Toss' pulls him next to any enemy he hits with it (he wants to be friends). But then all of his other abilities are 'player based aoe', meaning he can't pick and choose his targets, he just hurts anything that gets close to him. 'Despair' he cries a lot and makes a pool of damaging tears around himself (as seen at the end of the video). 'Tantrum' he lashes out and flails (sort of like a mini version of what you correctly guessed was his Ultimate). Those two are name-dropped in the lyrics. Then his ultimate is 'Curse of the Sad Mummy', a large explosion that damages and stuns any enemies trapped it in.
TLDR; his in-game abilities make it so that everyone who he gets close to either dies, or wants to run away.
It's so crazy.. when it first came out I couldn't help but shed damn tears because this song, the style it's made in and most important, the orchestra and vocals are so damn well made.
It really paints a beautiful picture of a tormented soul.
It doesn't only give me goosebumps but really makes me shiver.
I think the coolest thing about the LoL cinematics is that they use the champions actual in game abilities and show you how they look form another point of view other than just the in game animation of it.
When you say the curse hasnt done anything to him you can see That everythjng arround him dies. Thats the curse and why he cant have friends
nunof2 I went into it towards the end of the video🤠
@@ShatteredFocusProductions sorry, i wrote That when you said it.
Also you were right. He is a champion and his abilities revolve arround using his bandages and crying
There's a mini documentary about how this song was done. The director/producer is also the singer. You should check it.
So some more sadness onto Amumu's backstory in the video.
Riot had lore that ran from 2009 to 2014 before changing it to the lore we know as it is today. It explained the game mechanics and how it fitted into the world of Runeterra itself, like the players being Summoners and how powerful characters were relearning their powers over and over again in matches on the Fields of Justice in the Institute of War, like Kayle and Morgana
In this lore, Amumu traveled across the land and ended up at the Institute of War where the Summoners learned about his story and gave him a place live. In that old lore, Amumu, who was described as a yordle mummy who couldn't remember his own parents, had a home, success in the matches and most notably, friends who could help him uncover his past.
Now in the 2014-present day lore, he has no one and he doesn't have any memory of his past, with the three guesses of who he is, Nunof2 did write down the comment which helped explain the stories.
Personally for me, one of the saddest stories in League. Amumu has no one and he'll unintentionally harm people by being close to them.
Your level of analysis and eye for detail is why I watch reaction videos of only a select group of people even though I've seen some of these multiple times myself. I just need to share in that sense of discussion and honest perception of feeling and design of videos like these which I just don't seem to find in person company for. I do the pause by scene or moments thing too even though I've got no cinematographic background but I'm a bit of scenario writer, scene describer and actor through my Dungeon Mastering and Live Action Roleplaying and I've started recognising the dramatic effects and details a lot more than the people around me who lack the patience for such analysis with me. Even if it's something they're more knowledgeable about beforehand.
Your reactions are simply the best! Keep up the good work man. Bless.
Jean Louis León Sánchez 🙏🙏🙏
the singer is Christian "Praeco" Linke, he is riot lead composer, he is in charge in almost every league music video
May I recommend you react to Tahm Kench: The River King, Get Jinxed, and Braum: Trials of the poro, so few people have reacted to Tahm Kench, and Braum, and Get Jinxed is just neat, (There are also multiple "Remixes" of champion lines on a channel called "League of Legends community" which are both quite comical and fit the characters pretty well)
I agree with all of these they are a little short but still great
When I first heard this song I also loved this singer and wanted to find more of his stuff but he is a riot employee and I don't think he has other songs he does sound a lot like the singer in the varus song but it might be someone else I'm not sure
Just discovered your videos , and I can't stop watching them
Oh my god I first thought u would be those reaction guys who only say "I love the art, it's sad ok bye subscribe" but I give everyone a shot and oh boy if it was worth it.
I couldn't find someone who see the metaphor in the shadow how I saw it too. And then the gate that I wasn't sure what to think about. You said it was heaven's gates and I knew I got lucky to be here. Even if it's not the image going in the producer's head, I think your interpretation makes perfect sense. His heated blood decision to let out his power, whatever happens, feels more understsandable now.
And then again, the shadows that gives him the ability to travel and everything that it means : His unlimited time, his strong willing to chase after his hopes that would turn back on him.
Imagine his past, he would have had a bad childhood, abandonned by his parents and the injustice he felt made him chase after immortality and it would cost him everything to go there. He wouldn't recall his last life but still have feelings and this curse.
First of all, already knowing your reactions + Curse of the Sad Mummy = instaliked!
Totally agree with the Limbo feeling.
That first shadow that resembles a wolf, is actually the first teaser of a new champion at the time: Kindred.
Kindred has a really cool concept where there are the wolf and the sheep, but both of them are as one, and they are like Death.
Back to Amumu: yes, that part at the vocals is his ultimate. Another move of his is literally crying all over (which damages enemies around him while it's active).
His lines in game are like "I just wanna be friends" and "Can I give you a hug?".
And as others have suggested: Annie - Origins!
*When you feel so sad in the video you needed to edit a tear to the thumbnail*
(p.s. good reaction! I actually got dragged here by the thumbnail XD)
"i hope he isn't a one off singer"
Yeah, i remember thinking the same many years ago... highnsigt 2020 am i right?
That singer is the Creator, co-writer, co-producer and co-compser of Arcane :P
And he started in RIOT's customer support!!!
Thats dope!!!!
This is more then amazing or epic, it is art
Hey, just a little something, in those music videos there are keywords to the lyrics that are tied to the characters/champions abilities, like tantrun, bane and sorrow are from some of Amumu's abilities, just thought you would like to know. Great video.
7:55 It’s most likely a helmet, as you can see a sword on the banks near the water.
8:28 Yeah he’s a champion, and that rope is his ability to pull towards anything he grabs.
10:16 Yeah, that’s pretty accurate, it’ll keep him alive still.
10:29 I wouldn’t really call it a suicide attempt. The city beyond the gate is the hometown of his race. He is a yordle, a race of pretty small creatures, often with fur. That’s why the lyrics say “stood upon the ledge of home” because that’s the closest he’s gotten to his kind.
11:20 There’s 2 main stories the game provides us as to the origin of his curse. One is that he was a prince of a city in a desert who had a grave illness which didn’t kill him, but anyone near him got infected and withered away. A girl/servant would serve him, and always talked to him through a door until one day she went through and gave him a hug, which killed her. The girls mother, a witch, cursed the boy to never have another friend and that curse would kill everyone near him, so when he eventually died to his own disease and was entombed, he arose with no memory centuries or even millennium after his death buried under his long forgotten city. I kind of forgot the other one but this one seems on the nose.
You can also notice that the curse causes everything near him to die and wither away. Throughout the entire video, if you look closely the plants nearby him shrivel. The best examples are 1:55, 2:12, 2:51, and 3:10.
3:08 Also, he’s thousands of years old, “for many years” is kind of an under exaggeration.
The curse doesn’t necessarily make it so that nobody will ever come to him, but rather anyone near him will die, so they avoid him.
I love this too XD I'm glad you liked it genuinely my favorite of all the league songs kinda underrated but still great
I love this. Curse of The Sad Mummy is one of my favourite songs from League of Legends. The art-style, vocal, instrumentals and story are just beautiful. I really enjoyed your reaction to this! Thanks to both you and NoraDR!
wasn't expecting the Fairy Tail comparison, but was pleasantly surprised :) love your reactions!
Aaah "im good" Such a great song
Great reaction. You manage to find a lot of stuff without knowing a lot great job
Wait I just noticed the fish on your wall. I love him. Those stupid fish are actually the best.
I think the "moon portal" section of the video is a reference to the "man in the moon": In multiple cultures there are fables and myths about a person on the moon. In some of the stories the person was stuck there by their own mistake and greed and in the others, the person was sent there as a punishment . One thing all those stories have in common is the sense of isolation and loneliness felt.
when i watching that every time i felt blue and i remembered my sad memories. and melancholy atmosphere he so morose because no one want to be his friend and no want try to understand and care him. deep inside
Before watching, oh man hes gunna get the feels.
I love your League's reaction videos, its nice to see how you perceived things inside the videos! Keep the good work! :D
If you want to know how and by who it was made you should see Frequencies. It's a documentary League of Legends made a couple years ago where they talk about it I think. Anyways it's pretty good.
Nice video! I love your work ☺️❤️ You are so nice.
Happy Sts Patrick day!
Ok I was right, in fact the documentary starts with the singer and composer of the song talking 👌🏾
If you like that puppet theatre style, you should react to another League of Legends cinematic video called the Harrowing: Tales of the Black Mist, it's made to resemble it even more than this one.
You talked about puppeteers and the art style, you should watch The Harrowing: Tales of the Black Mist its EXACTLY what you are looking for, although it isn't a music video it's great!
If im correct he was a child emperor that was kept way from civilization, infact his lore isnt really HIS its just many child rumors about who he might be and it always ends the same way with anyone that has ever interacted with him coming down sick and dying
Cody Tesch Damn👀
Absolutely do "as we fall" next! It's one of my fav league cinematics
Singer is TJBrown! He does a lot of vocals for League of Legends too!
Cher Moua Dope!
Actually the singer is Cristian "Praenco" Linke, lead composer at the time (don't know if he is still the lead) for Riot games. This song was how baby that's why it is the only time he sings in a LoL song. He thought was pretty well known in his youth in Germany in a band called "Panik".
Edit: autocorrect misspelling
Yea, it as Riot's lead composer, TJ Brown did a cover for League's concert though.
Guys, the Easter egg here is that the shadow/curse is Kindred’s Wolf. Since Death follows where he goes, it follows that Wolf would be there devouring their souls.
This video uses a nice trick where if you can take your eyes off the depressing, cute mummy child and carefully watch the background the curse is slowly killing the plants showing that everything he touches dies but it does it so slowly that you don’t notice unless you pay attention
Too many recommendations in these comments! Hes gonna eventually react to all your favorites, chill!!
Loved Sad mummy too, especially the song, jesus. Unfortunately the singer is just for this. Hes the lead composer for riot music! Oh hot damn I also replay that “Ult” part. Beautiful
Great video, really liked your insight.
Amumu is basically cursed and destroys everything around him. The tragic is that he is not responsible for any of it. He is a child and is just looking for friends. When you pick him in game, he says 'I thought you'd never pick me'. In his short story a man tells a legend about Amumu. How a treasure seeker manages to get into a tomb and hears a cry of a child. He reaches a hall, which's floor is covered in water and it turns out it's all Amumu's tears but because of his curse, these tears hurt the others. The man, however, choses to help him and despite the pain he goes to save him, loosing his arm in the process. At the end of the story, a child asks the teller 'Father, where did you lose your arm?', to which he smiles.
Also, as it seems you enjoyed the way the video is made, I'd highly suggest watching 'The Harrowing' video, again made by League. You'll see why. (spoiler: the waves made by papers going up and down, you'll see that there)
This guy is amazing!
Rian Cox ❤️
I love your reactions! One of the best things with LoL music videos is that they are so versatile with style of animations. You definitely should check :
Annie the origins
As we Fall
Phoenix
Star Guardians: Light and Shadow
Each of them have peculiar artstyle with some clever ideas, you will like it
I love amumu, hes my main boy and hes my character and who i play.
The blade/sword may be aatrox’s blade, he is a corrupted “god warrior” of Shurima, the empire that ammumu was an emperor over for a time. I can’t see very well in this video, I’d have to watch it again myself to check. After looking, it seems to be either aatrox’s old blade (he was reworked) or the deaths dance blade (an in game item) or possibly even the Blade of the Ruined King. Edit you’re correct about his abilities, his ultimate is a super tantrum of sorts that stuns everything around him. Another ability is a “bandage toss” which he flings some bandages and dashes to anyone hit. His passive is the curse of the sad mummy where he does 10% true dmg in place of that much magic damage. At any rate, you’re very very perceptive and I love it!
The shield is probably a aegis of the legion if it’s anything, maybe a targons brace. I wasn’t around the league community 5 years ago so some of the item identification can be a bit messy at that far back for me.
7:20 The item you saw there is The Blade of Ruined King :D really nice catch.
Amumu has been a champion for as long as league has been around. There are very few matery 7 Amumu's, and I am one of them.
Pumping out content!
Great videos dude :D
you should watch ANNIE Origins in the near future
I'm glad you enjoyed this one :D
Love your videos, you have best reactions!
You mentioned the art style of the video and how it reminded you of some puppeteer shows. The video The Harrowing: Tales of the Black Mist is a league cinematic set in this style even more. You should really check it out I would love to get your breakdown of it!
0:10 awww I feel special
It's here! Woweeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Protect amumu at all cost...
Trust me, Ekko: Seconds is one of the best cinematic in lol universe
He was a king
React to two of my favorite cinematics: "As we fall and Ryze - Call of power".
This reminds me of both Unravel and Little Nightmares for some reason.
I like the clover it's so cute :D
Could you plz react to the get jinxed video as well? I love seeing your take in league videos, they’re an amazing in depth perspective that I didn’t know I needed
shadow wolf in the background could very well be kindred
9:35 lol this totally does look like a plane of oblivion XD
9:23 look at the edges of the screen everywhere he goes the plants die
Nevermind you see it later in the video
Cant wait til you do Warwick :D
Coffins have multiple different names I think. Coffin, sarcophagus...I don't remember what else...I think there was something else that started with a "c"...idk
watch the Harrowing cinematic
Amumu is said to be an old child emperor of the shuriman dessert. He is way older than some other champions we have from Shurima, like Azir, who is the more known emperor of the two, but he still isn't the oldest being in LoL.
As the song states, every child in Valoran (the continent where the regions of League of Legends are at) has heared about Amumu. However, there are different stories about him.
In one of them he was the youngest son of the first emperor of Shurima. His father and brothers died because of a deadly disease so he became the emperor, however he was sick as well. He had one friend, a young girl, who came to his door every day to talk to him. When she wanted to tell him about the fate of his family, she requested that he opened the door for her. Since the disease can only be given to a person by touching the person he did so. She came in and told him about his father's and brother's deaths. Amumu, forgetting his disease, hugged her in search for comfort, dooming the young child as well. When the grandmother of the child, a powerful yet against this disease powerless healer, learned about what he did she cursed him to wander around forever, alone with his cursed touch.
Another story was told by a shuriman story teller. It was about a young adventurer who found an old, sealed grave in the dessert. He went into it to maybe find some treasures, but when he was in there he heared the crying of what seemed to be a little child. Venturing further into the grave he eventually found Amumu sitting in the darkness. Since he couldn't really see the bandages at first he offered the child his help to get out of the grave, but when Amumu touched his hand he saw the bandages. At that moment however, it was already too late since his arm arleady started to rot. He ran away, leaving Amumu alone in the darkness once more, and cut his arm off to prevent his whole body from rotting. This story ends with the story teller revealing that he only has one arm, which could mean that the story teller was telling his own story here. Why Amumu is immortal or cused is not known in this story.
The last story we know of is again about Amumu being the Emperor of Shurima, however this time he isn't ill. This time, the people saw him as a childish tyrant during his reign. One day, a witch travelled to his palace to see if he really is as cruel as the stories tell. And when she saw that most of it was true, she spoke her curse upon him: Until he found a true friend he was not able to die, however everything else around him would wither and die slowly but surely. Since he was known as a tyrant he never found a friend in Shurima during his time "alive", which "killed" him at a very young age, however due to his curse he woke up in his grave again, wrapped in bandages and treated like every other mummy. Since the curse was active he wasn't able to find a friend in his "afterlife" either because soon the rumors of a "deadly spirit that lets everything around him wither" spread and when people saw him they ran in fear for their lifes.
Which of these stories is true is unlcear, it might even be a story we don't even know yet that is the truth, however all of these stories agree on two things: He is possibly a child emperor from ancient Shurima and he is cursed to let everything around him die.
(Yes, i'm a bit faster than ever before, however to defend myself i was waiting for this reaction for a long time now. Amumu is one of my favourite charcters and i really like his story/stories and his play style in game)
Dragonheart I personally enjoy the former due to the fact it makes him more tragic but I enjoy both ether way🤠Thanks for the lore!
Is he travelling to the spirit realm and bandle city in the video?
@@fredrickthecatfish8661 Might be, i don't know actually. However, if so it isn't canon because he never went to Bandle City in his canon lore
@@dragonheart1357 what if it's supposed to be additional lore that wasn't written down. I mean, it's very clear that he went through the portal since he got spat out of a flower into a wonderland of sorts. Plus, the houses in the city were very small and had doors the size of him, and yordles are pretty much also the same size as him. Plus, in pentakill, the technology used in bandle city was kinda the same as in here.
@@fredrickthecatfish8661 it still isn't canon because unlike Awaken and Warriors 2020 it isnt confirmed by Riot to be canon
Its either really easy to figure out, or you are way too smart, but yeah.. You were right about the toilet paper thing and the "destroying everything around him" being 2 of his main abilities. Another one of his abilities is acutally him crying, and damaging everyone who comes close to him.
hey u want to try *pentakill - mortal reminder* ,, another league of legends animated music video
You should really react to Annie origins
Personally I'd love to see as we fall on the channel more than anything else
14:35 lol same
AMUMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU D;
The wolf you saw isn't actually his curse, that is supposed to be The Wolf, one of the two parts of Kindred, the personification of death in Runeterra. Wolf and Lamb come to those who near the end, Lamb guides those who pass in peace while Wolf hunts down those who don't want to die even if their time is up. Since Amumu is basically immortal he "flees death" for centuries now which attracts Wolf. However, not even Wolf can hunt down the Immortal.
His curse however is shown as well in the shots with Wolf: The plants in the forest, withering around Amumu. Also, when he walks up that hill towards the gate the plants on the hill wither as well ( 9:29 you can see it pretty good)
Edit: You mentioned his curse yourself and pretty much figured it out, so the last part of this comment is useless... Oh well, i tried XD
Dragonheart haha appreciate ya!
I'm not really sure about that.
This music video was made in January of 2015.
Kindred wasn't made until October of the same year. And Kindred was only really created after Jhin's concept, since theyre both based off one champion, split into two.
((Btw nice pic u w u))
@@johnnyAFIRE As far as i know they wanted to tease Kindred with that video here because they were set on the "Wolf and Lamb" thingy by the time they did this here. Even tho no one understood the teaser before Kindred got announced, many people got to the conclusion i wrote here when they finally got announced: That this is Wolf.
((thx ^^))
@@johnnyAFIRE The new Terror in Demacia references FossBarrow and a story about Fossbarrow was written several months to a year before Terror was released. So I thinking that they have stories interconnected already much like Marvel and have put a LOT of thought into it. Its one of the things I love about Riot is the lore and stories they have created and tied together.
The wolf shown is the curse lmao. It is signified by the black smoke. It scares Amumu and he runs from it because he doesn't want to accept it as part of him. If it was Wolf from Kindred it would've been indicated. Just because they're both wolves doesn't make it Wolf in this situation. A nice interpretation but that's correlating two things just because they share physical appearance. Idk how you'd explain literally every other manifestation the smoke takes based on this interpretation you've made. The human figures at the end jumping into Amumu must be nocturne because shadowy figures right?
He needs to react to Annie's one then he will cry.
when is the scarecrow vid coming out? :)
Do Mortal Reminder!!!
Can you check out Jinx's promotional video Get Jinxed?
Did ammumu travel to the spirit realm and bandle city in the video?
i like your style but i hate that the screen of the video is small compared to your cam it would be awesome if you made ur cam alittle smaller and the video u react more bigger it would be really great.
React to Get Jinxed!!
Min 4:05 when you build Amumu AP
You made me notice the Sword and shield in the beginning and no unfortunately its not really a league thing noone knows 😕
