Lyrics:
Gripping with my cold hands
The shapes I used to take
Hollow like a straw man
But it’s easier to push away
‘Cause it could all end here
With a strange daylight caught in our eyes
And my shadow stretching out
Through all the things I left behind
It’s in my blood it’s in my veins
Oh it’s in my blood it’s in my… veins
Got my heel crushing the snake
There is nothing you can take
In my blood it’s in my veins
I’m still here
Maybe it’s a far stretch
That I won’t come undone
But I would brave the cold edge
To finish up what I’ve begun
‘Cause it could all end here
With a strange daylight caught in our eyes
And my shadow stretching out
Is it all enough this time?
I’m still here
All my reasons cut like knives
Keep replaying in my mind
All the times I’ve had to fight
I’m still here
It’s in my blood it’s in my veins
I’m still here
I’m still here
Got my heel crushing the snake
There is nothing you can take
In my blood it’s in my veins
I’m still here
I’m still here
“It’s written in my code, it’s in my veins”
And I’m Still Here
I’m still…

That was one amazing song. I have been listening nonstop, and both the lyrics and vocals bring tears to my eyes.

I love it sm!!! Thank you for being part of this 😍
Goosebumps inducer
I cannot even emphasize how powerful the lyrics are. And Tiffany and your vocals just bring out the emotions flowing out. So many different layers. Especially right at the end when Tryndamere sees Ashe. I realize now that the last I'm still here is Ashe telling Trynd that she is still there for him.

I love how they animated kindred. Wolf actually looks strong and fierce while lamb is patient and gentle
What sound do they make?
could you explain whats happening in that scene? i dont play the game, im confused as to why he goes from fighting the wolf to the wolf being the woman i dont understand
in the LoL universe Kindred is basically Death. Lore wise (i'm not positive) but she is basically the most powerful thing in the universe because, well she is death. She and the wolf are always together. They are "kindred", "never one without the other". What makes the scene really cool is that Tryndamere's ultimate power is basically refusing to die because of his rage. Death has stopped looming over him once his wife Ashe shows up to save him, which is why you see Kindred basically disappear and turn into Ashe coming to the rescue@@onetuffspartan1981
@@onetuffspartan1981 The wolf and the lamb characters he is fighting are one and the same being: death. The lamb is the merciful aspect that takes those who willingly accept death, wolf is the ruthless hunter that takes those that resist. If you watch VERY carefully, you can actually see these two appear in several places throughout the film. (most notably in the scene prior where the wind warrior casts his sword down and accepts the arrow rain death that awaits him. If you look when he closes his eyes and it switches to the cloud of arrows you can see the wolf's face in the tree line, but a white arrow takes him first, because he accepted it).
However, the man with the big sword kiiinda can't die. Theoretically, he can, but his rage prevents it due to his tribe and a run in with an evil demigod (the giant flying demon guy from the second scene, actually) that attempted to subdue him and take over his body with blood magic, but due to his rage he kept his will and more or less has a demigod's power trapped within him. He, however, has no idea about any of this or how to use the newfound power. To himself, he's just a barbarian with rage problems that somehow keeps living.
In the very first scene you see the barbarian surrounded by opponents and a woman running toward him in the distance. In the final scene, he "awakes" to find himself stalked by death. He is in fact fighting those mortal opponents from the first scene (as evidenced later by the addition of several bodies and the tear marks on his shoulder armor showing that the hits were very real), but in that moment, he sees death is trying to take him. He successfully fights for his life, even against wolf due to his rage. That woman that appears is actually the same woman you can see in the distance in the very first scene: his wife. Death leaves and stops trying to take him because his wife saved him by killing the last of the attackers. Now is not his time as he is no longer on death's edge, and so death leaves.
thanks so much!@@TWKPixelHero
One of the reasons I keep coming back to this cinematic is the closeup of Tryndamere's brow and eyes softening upon seeing Ashe. Him feeling able to take a moment, however brief, to relax because of her arrival is so beautiful!
Na thats just the ult timer running out.
his 5 seconds are up
That was beautiful
@@Stengelman It is indeed beautiful. Seeing Trynd run out of ult when he's on the enemy team. Lol
I rewatched that part 115 million times, it’s incredibly cathartic!
I loved how they portrayed Kindred. Trynda was not fighting against Kindres the champion, he was fighting against death, and when Ashe came to help Kindred disappeared, meaning the death was not close by anymore, simply amazing!
Genius interpretation. Thank you for this
so wtf was he fighting then
He resist with his ult X)
Está errónea los kindred no se fueron x ashe es porq tryndamere con su furia no es como inmortal cuando el ve a ashe pierde los ojos rojos

FINALLY THE OLD CINEMATICS ARE BACK
AND THEY DESERVE ALL THE LOVE
Ha ha no
@@trioz1819 ha ha YES
Totally agree 👍
ooooooooooooooooooo
tryndamere looks like roman reigns
2:52 The imagery of the wolf in the black forest with all the arrows flying that lead us to kindred was such a nice detail
That's not wolf. Wolf has blue eyes. That is Shyvana being released and fully transforming.
@@lunasuzukiaNope. Wolf is in the forest; white arrow from Lamb transitions into the next scene.
@@Enneamorph He doesn't have red eyes though. So clearly that contradicts.
@@lunasuzukiathat is literally the wolf bruh, you just arguing just to argue lol
@@ChristinaIcewielderThisChris I'm not? Wolf has blue eyes. Just stating facts.
I can't even put into words why or how adding legs makes Wolf more intimidating, but it definitely does.
because he is no longer "only bites" he can also use his paws now
@@gelertfirehe can chase
"weight" and "density."
No longer something floating and ethereal. Floating things are like leaves, something that stamps the dirt off the ground with its claws and paws is heavy.
Weight and mass means you can better interpret the kinds of hits it can dish out.
the sound design of him ruuning makes him feel extremely weighty, a massive beast indeed...
Kindred (the wolf one) will change its form the longer you refuse your death and the sheep will only further give you blind hopes of survival hence she will give you a quick release if you accept your end
That Trynda vs Kindred was beautiful. I like that they made Kindred look confused after Trynda refused to die thanks to his ultimate. They really captured that "hmh?" feeling.
To me, it didn't seem like Kindred was confused but rather impressed that Trynda has such a strong will to live. At the last part she could have called the shot but she lowered her arrows cause she knows he can still live.
The tilting of Kindred's head is what encapsulates that feeling the most
its like the first time you fight a tryndamere and he just doesnt die for some reason XD
@@atlust2105the lamb is the intelligent of the two so it makes sense
And at the last part kindred kinda showed us that she changed her mind coz she felt that ashe was coming to trynda’s aid
Thank you, Riot, for finally remembering that Aatrox and Kindred can also appear in the cinematics
Now im just waiting for a Cinematic with Evelynn then ill be happy lol

Tryndamere in this really is the epitome of “death can have me when it earns me”
man literally too angry to die
Kratos and tryn are true men of pure strength and will lol
The animation is awesome but this is also by far the most emotional cinematic Riot has put out imo. The song, the visual story telling, the references to in-game mechanics. God it all just goes so hard.
Not really The Call and As We Fall are far more powerful
Im actually crying it's been so long since we had this quality in a lore cinematic
I'd say since the Call
me too wtf, this thing isn't even sad.
@@albertowong5254 for me it was just pure tears of joy
Not even Yasuo's death scene? @@albertowong5254
I cried too
Yasuo's story - accepting death
Tryndamere's story - refusing death
Aatrox's story - having no control over his death
Amazing storytelling
well said
How is yas excepting death?
@@yaredkokeb5362did you watch the video?
He gladly accepts the arrow from Lamb.@@yaredkokeb5362
Shaco's story:
I love how they give us a demonstration of the powerful influence Kindred has on the mortal realm when Wolf's bite marks appear on Trynda's pauldron after the vision of the fight with Kindred dissipates.
I agree. That detail also made me think about that fight. It's a bit hard to be sure but I think that the number of times Trynda "kills" or attacks Wolf is equal to the number of people surrounding him. If you count in the two Ashe kills as well. But I'm not sure.
Its not actually the wolf's bite but in reality a mark left by the soldiers tryndamere was fighting WHILE tryndamere was imagining fighting against the death himself(lamb and wolf).
The lamb and the wolf don't really exist in the physical world and can't leave a mark like that.
@@tupatontt You can literally see trynd has no marks on his pauldrons at 3:06. Do you just go out of your way to be wrong? You think soldiers left 4 identical length claw marks on a single pauldron? Cmon now. Kindred are 100% capable of impacting the physical world. You can literally see the exact moment he gets the marks. Wolf bites his pauldrons then slow it down, the marks are there the instant wolf lets go
@@NODcepter Only Trynda can see Kindred in that fight. Outside, he's fighting everyone around him in a blind, undying rage. He's in Freljord. For all we know, one of these warriors he fought could have hit him with a clawed weapon.
@@NODcepterThe fight with Kindred is not physical. It is lore bound that Kindred does not manifest physically. It is DEATH, in all aspect. And yes, those claw marks are from the winters CLAWS clan if you know anything about Freljord, they have all weoponary of all claw like. But freedom of expression says you can have your opinion.
I like how Kayle and Morgana was depicted here. It really shows how blinded Kayle is by her so called "Rightful Justice". The way she looks at Morgana with disgust, even though Morgana used her fallen (or dark) magic just to save her and their people.
세상에 정의는 없다. 다만 생존을 위한 정의만 존재 한다.
thats dumb. Kayle uses magic too. At much it is a concerned look because her sister just fell to the floor screaming.
Its not that deep. Lore accurate Kayle could erase aatrox alone in 2 seconds. This was more for show than anything else
I rewatched it a few times for this... and I agree, she was looking with "concern" or "disgust" prior to her falling on the floor. There is definitely judgment here.
@@lok4890 its true... notice that kayle takes Morgana's half of the sword after... its a judgment, not a concern.
I absolutely love how Kindred slowly lowers its bow and arrow at the end. It's like Kindred foreseeing the future a few seconds in advance, realizing, "Nope, it's not Trynd's time yet". Such a powerful and beautiful scene!
Interesting take, I think kindred was saying from the beginning it is not your time but since trynd is a warrior she wanted to show him in a way he would understand. Fight for life. Imo kindred wouldn't make the mistake of someones time
@@Tri7on I interpreted it the same way OP did, but I think your comment makes so much more sense- I love reading others comments and takes and understanding stuff better
@@Tri7on Yes, and Olaf's lore supports this theory well because in that lore it is mentioned that warriors revel in death in 'glorious combat'.
@@toximoo i interpreted it as him still having r so he can't die
Lmao wut
Kayle's judgmental look passing by Morgana was EVERYTHING!
Was she judgmental towards Morgana? Why?
@@xooooosup
IKR!!!!
its bc of their lore, i dont really know all the details but its something about Kayle prioritizing Justice over everything, while Morgana is more accepting. You should check out their voicelines when they meet each other ingame!
"Kayle forsook her humanity for divinity, while Morgana embraced it. So the side eye hints at the soon to be broken relationship the two sisters will have. Morgana bounded herself to the earth to help and understand people. Kayle detested this and took her sword and tries to get rid of her own humanity" from the other comments.
@@xooooos
@@qpr323 She doesn't _hate_ her, but despises her choice
There are 2 ways to interact with death:
2:53: Accept Death
3:25: Defy Death.
There's another:
1:39: If Death won't have me, I'll bring Death to everyone else.
I'm currently lying in the hospital after pedestrian accidents, was listening to liked song on shufffle on Spotify, this popped up, and it dawned on me... I'm still here!!! Nevertheless I cried for entirety of the song. (Sorry for rant I just had to get it off my chest)

This is crazy good. 13 years ago Kayle and Morgana had an actual cinematic. Very well done by Riot, this was amazing to watch.
I’m pretty sure kayle and morg were in one of the first cinematic of the game

I don't think I've ever seen kindred displayed this way in a main cinematic, they don't get that much attention, so I love how much they get here, and the way they are shown as death. its amazing
they? lmao ok bud
@@drterrible8069The Kindred are literally two separate entities. So yes, they.
is kindred not two entities? wolf and lamb lol..@@drterrible8069
@drterrible8069 They are literally two people dawg.
i noticed that as well but you put it into words better than I can
3:23 love how when Trynda goes to attack Lamb, Wolf immediately jumps in front to protect her...Just goes to show the bond between them.
Literally they are the same person, it's not different from when you cover your weak spot with your arms.
@@anryx555 no. The pale man cut himself half. So he will always have a friend. Always! Have. A friend.....
Tryndamere battling a group of enemies represented as facing kindred in their full capacity of the herald of death is an insanely amazing touch. Props to the team for this one. Lore went crazy.
The Kindred sequence was AMAZING! Ashe coming in clutch for the save and then Kindred disappearing when Tryndamere's life was no longer in peril felt so poetic. Visually Kindred and Wolf look top tier.
Kindred also appears in the battle between Morg and Kayle VS Aatrox, inside the flames at the end, before switching scenes to Yasuo's
Kindred was the only cool part of the trailer imo. Trynd wudn't die he'll just spin away or press r
and that white arrow coming at yas in the end of his scene too@@JoseSebastianPerezC
Yeah they nailed the lore of kindred in this
I absolutely love that little detail of Kindred disappearing once Ash shows up, even after having Wolf wrestling so viciously with Tryndamere. You can see how Tryn's Ult isn't dissuading her at all. She's perfectly aware that he's already dead and just struggling against the inevitable. But she backs off completely when Ash appears because Ash entering the fray has changed Tryn's fate, he's no longer just a dead man walking, but instead will survive thanks to his companion's efforts.
Forts here! ⚔️ Thanks for all the love on the song so far! It was such an honor to write and perform alongside such amazing talent. Have a great 2024 season everyone! 🤍

Your voice is incredible!
The song ROCKS! Amazing performance
Earned yourselves a sub with that one, what a fitting song for another Riot Cinematic Universe banger.
Thank you!
others have probably pointed this out, but i love that you can see Kindred at the last moment in every scene. 0:25 you see Lamb walking, 1:40 you see Lambs outline in smoke, and 2:52 you see Wolfs outline and Eyes in the woods
The last fight has to be one of the most beautiful animations ive seen in a long time. 10/10
The fact the Morgana drops the half of her mother's blade at 1:11, then kayle picks it up and ascends is also an incredible touch!

when you realize that kindred/wolf is a spirit so when you saw them fight, Trynd was actually fighting the other guys in reality but was in a trance fighting kindred. amazing and accurate lore
Kinda just a random moment I saw, but it's fantastic detail that it shows Wolf form behind Tryndamere, and he doesn't attack, until he's seen to practically stance up to Lamb, ready for a fight.
The concept of Tryndamere litterally fighting against death itself, refusing to die is so awesome!
In Vietnamese localization of his Ult, it literally means [Refuse Death]. He literally refused death (Kindred) back there XD
Agreed. Best part of the cinematic for me.
he gotta be alive to enjoy that ashe’s cheeks at night
I found it more mesmerizing than only "I can't die, soo i do what i want". It's more like he need to fight to stay alive. A true berserker
There's some great emotion when a person in obvious duress and rage immediately soften and relax upon seeing their loved one. That last scene is amazing.
exactly , it shows how seeing our loved ones makes us feel safe ,
Im confused werent ashe and tryn just married to form an alliance and actually dislike each other or did they change lore?

i think everyone
That throbbing “blade” is so funny to me
Everyone that watched the video

Man it's the focus of the frame 😭
What I love about this is their decision to age up the characters. They feel more alive this way.
Kayle and Morgana are actually younger here than in game, as this scene happens before they split over the death of their father. They stopped aging in their late 20's/early 30's when they got their wings (Their mom is the aspect of justice)

INSANE transition!! I love them addressing that lore! Because Tryndamere really be cheating death so often
That's why you build some slow resistance 😆
@@christopherbusby7067All Trynd's opponents become Kindred whenever he turn on his ult that idea is so amazing. Shout out for Riot never seems disappointed on Riot's film and music ❤🎉🎉❤❤
Same Bro 👍
And then how the Rage from Tryndamere's eyes vanished😢
I love Lamb voice or voice actress, she just sound like a omnipotent/omniscient person, a person who is very wise and very comforting
Same!!
I absolutely adore it when they reference champion abilities with subtlety, like with Tryndamere having red eyes when fighting Kindred since he's fighting Death
he also does his spin through the wolf into the lamb
@@kev1mc313 yes subtle yet powerful
Ever notice in the background there's a glowing silhouette that looks like the walls of Kindred's Ultimate? Like at 3:30 u can see it behind lamb.
This was actually beautifully done, so glad they finally put Kindred in a cinematic, they're my favorite and portrayed so well. Especially Tryndamere fighting Kindred in spirit while fighting the men in reality and Kindred's head tilt of intrigue at 3:30 almost curious or surprised Tryndamere is fighting off death so fiercely, and Kindred not loosing her arrow once she realizes it's not her time to take him yet since Ashe saves him, also Ashe's arrows piercing "through" the spirit realm and bringing the light of reality with them; very cool attention to details!
the best part was how animalistic the head tilt was! sometimes we forget the kindred is 0% human (looking at you porcelain kindred..)
I came here looking for this exact info. Not playing league much or keeping up with the lore, I wanted to better understand what was happening. You explained it wonderfully, thank you!
kindred was surprised because tryndamere should have died but he used his ultimate (red eyes)
losing
@@AwkwardDreamer No problem! And just for some more background context, Tryndamere is known for basically being unkillable (his ult in the game is basically undying rage and his eyes turn red and he refuses to die from any damage for a time) and Kindred is the spirit duo of death essentially, Lamb is the archer whos death is quick and peaceful (meaning you accept death) Wolfs death is like this cinematic; it's brual, a hunt, a thrashing and gnawing ordeal (meaning you are running from or trying to refuse death, which typically for the average being is out of your control) so when these two opposites clash it's a spectacle to watch. That's what I find so good about the head tilt from Kindred because Tryndamere isn't just defending himself or trying to stop death he actually goes on the offensive and basically tries attacking death to prolong his own life since he refuses to die which would be very uncommon and intriguing to come across as the spirit of death. Very well written and portrayed here.
THEY HAD NO REASON TO GO IN THIS HARD ON THE CINEMATIC MY GOODNESS THE HYPE IS TOO CRAZY!!!!!! EVEN AFTER 2 MONTHS IT JUST KEEPS HITTING HARDER EVERTIME I REWATCH IT MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ironically, it's one of the last times they did. That scene was from the past, when Morgana still fought using her sword.
The dude who animated kindred deserves a raise BY FAR the best portrayed champ in cinematic history.
Said the furry
Say no to Furryism.
What's the point of making cinematics for dorky ancient 2D games that require desperate excuses to still justify playing? This is like Britney's "comeback" tour. Move on, folks. No voiceovers, no stories? Even Blizzard does this better.
@@VesperAegis You should ask yourself why you're even here.

Lamb: "Okay, buddy, I getcha. We'll see ya later, sound good? Deuces!"
I swear this game has best trailers ever.... the music, the animation..... just perfect
The Tryndamere vs Kindred fight has to be one of the coolest scenes ever animated by Riot. Trynd fighting off death itself in his ult until Ashe saves him was not on my season 14 bingo card.
You dont know kindred Is There beocuse the soldier Is coming kill him and he survive only for ult
and it was just a representation, he was fighting against soldiers that would cause him his death, but he's is too stuborn to die and fight his death... and because he is fighting death so he is fighting the Kindred
Seeing Ashe calmed his rage and fury. That is a massive development since when he came to join the Avorasans Braum literally had to sheild all his strikes to get him to calm down. Their marriage has come a long way from marriage of convenience.

They're back on their cinematics game, no doubt.

Kindred's concept is so beautiful, I hope they showcase it cinematically more in the future! This is stunning
Kindred represents death, so they only appear when someone is on the verge of dying... kinda creepy but cool
Its my favourite concept of death
true
The subtle hints of kindred at every near death is so good. The blurred figure for Tryn. The shadowy shape in Kayles flames. The blue arrow and Wolf's eyes/ears in the treeline for Yasuos death. And then that final battle! Absolutely awesome.
i didnt understand about the yasuo's part, did he die?
maybe thats about yasuo's master dying?

Nice detail to add Kayle's look of disappointment when Morgana began using her dark magic. Really brings the lore to life. Can't wait for the Necrit video.
LITERALLY
I just freaking hate Kayle poor Morgana 😢
Ikr Kayle's face so full of self righteousness not even concern with Morgana at all
"Can't wait for the Necrit video" LMAO love you
NEED NECRIT DOING A 1HOUR EXPLANATION ON THIS ONE
these cinematics are so realistic. Trynda just yells and refuses to die no matter what lmao. jokes aside, this is some top quality stuff, kudos to everyone involved in the music and video production
the last part with trynda is masterpiece , just flawless
Tryndamere fighting death itself while in ult, is one of the coolest visuals in a cinematic ever.
Try vs Kindred scene >>>> all of darkins entire existence.
Yeah I loved that poetic battle, it showed that death can spare you if you have enough will to struggle. No matter how hard it is your wife won't let you die so easily /j.

3:13 Kindred is so freakin well done. Wolf's relentlessly attacks his prey while Lamb walks ghostly and slowly in the distance with those 2 glowing eyes.
Looks absolutely terrifying, perfectly fitting for the "Death"
I like the subtle tilt of Lamb's head at 3:30 . She doesn't have facial expressions and this short moment of bewilderment and curiosity is basically the only emotion she shows. It's a great contrast to how ferocious Wolf is.
@@ludo_narrIt really fits their character since Death is still an unknown concept. I mean yea, beeing dead is beeing dead but how does it feel? Is there something after it? Is it just like sleeping? Who knows?
For me, all those unsolvable questions are the curiosity of the lamb while the reality that Death is the end of all living things can be seen as the Wolf.
Man, I love Kindreds concept of Death
@@nicz7694 They have these compelling opposite extreme personalities.
Wolf is all emotion and impulse. He doesn't plan ahead for his attacks. He just goes in full frontal assault. Meanwhile Lamb is the rational mind. She takes her time and only attacks when Tryn is distracted.
Lamb doesn't bother to provide cover for her partner, because she knows he isn't in any danger. Wolf on the other hand doesn't hesitate for a second to jump between Lamb and Tryn. It just doesn't cross his mind that she can't actually be harmed or killed. He just cares about her.
I loved it, but wanted a bit more. As per lore (read the story 3 years ago, hopefully it didn't change), wolf is the "coward's death", killing those who run from battle (I guess those who died while running away), while sheep is the death of those who fight till the end. So in a way, it would be nice to see them "not" fight together.
This fight, in this sense, was an in-game one; everyone fights. Also, while liking Ashe's save, it would have been nice if after she came, she would have found Trynda dead. Meaning he ulted, so the fight with kindred was those 5 seconds of invincibility his ult gives him, after which he dies. Imagine this: every time he uses his ultimate, he actually fights kindred. Amazing.
@@radubarbuceanu8466 If I remember correctly, Lamb delivers a swift death to those who accept their fate and Wolf delivers a violent death to those who try to defy death.
My interpretation is that Tryn standing up with his sword and facing Lamb was him challenging death, which is Wolf's cue to tear him apart.

I just didn't want this cinematic to end. What a masterpiece.

For a game this old i can't believe they're still hitting their peak, with these amazing cinematics and arcane season 2 coming up, incredible.

Thank you for the incredible emotions you bring to our lives, Riot.
Before this animation Tryndamere seemed like a boring and unimportant character to me, but the idea of fighting against Kindred in every battle he fought and refusing death ... made him one of the coolest guys in the lore for me.
this animation did more for Tryndamere then every Retcon and lore change combined. Being married to one of the most important character in the Freljord should have given him something but it didn't all he had was his connection to Aatrox witch got retconned twice. Now this these connections are starting to mean something.
boy imagine when you read Mordekaiser's lore.....
totally agree! only thing is, he isn't "refusing" death directly, he simply can't die because of his "undying rage" curse got from aatrox
Tryndamere: Not today.
Lamb: This f*** again?
Wolf: I'LL GET HIM THIS TIME!
@@raven-0621 Yeah, being canonically 0-3 in the weakest era of runeterra's existence is a pretty tragic backstory. (he doesn't fight or beat kindred for death realm btw, he loses and carves out a section of the afterlife for himself (she does not juristic the afterlife)
First Kindred's head tilt and later on the way it lowered it's bow... acknowledging that his time has not yet come. My favorite.
Gave me chills yo, cinematic masterpiece
Definitely mine as well. ❤
Lore accurate reaction of Kindred when Try ults
I thought to myself "that sounds like kindred" at the start but thought their was no way they would include them...my jaw dropped at seeing her and wolf.
I can't get enough of it! I love the audiovisual quality of this piece.
Fantastic work!
That Kindred part of the cinematic has me freaking out, this is insane.. Thank you for giving us Kindred mains something for once
Kindred is awesome. Chills me up that scene;
Kindred mains rise up 🔥
If only Kindred was actually that cool ingame, Wolf needs an update
Too bad she missed every single Arrow
yeah i loved it too!!!
GREAT CINEMATIC RIOT 👏♥(game accurate morgana root duration too)
Stevie spittin fax as always
new vid when?
hi stevie, when next upload ?
Lmao
best comment :D
Kindred is so beautifully fearsome. I would be paralyzed with awe, seeing this otherworldly magnificent being
the Tryndamere fight is absolutely gorgeous, it hilights all the right things, like his inhumane resilience, the lamb patience, the wolf's eagerness, and kindred's disappeareance revealing he's been fighting against his own death... goosebumps
🤓
Literally 🤓
i dont think the disappearance is signifying him fighting is own death but instead the fact that he isn't close to death anymore because ashe (his wife) is there saving his life.
🤓
I think they also wanted to show the lamb's empathy. I see the shots where she tilts her head or observes Tryndamere as her trying to decide whether its the right time to die for him. And Tryndamere fights back, and even ignores the wolf to face the lamb specifically, as if to answer: "No!"
We need a full movie, not just a cinematic. This is art
Bener banget
A masterpiece
just watch arcane
@@Aecheur arcane has the worst characters
@@TheKnoWOW😂😂 don't get me wrong, i like the Arcane series but I can't deny I was pretty disappointed when they finally announced the lore that they will be adapting. I was hoping they will make the series about Demacia-Noxus war or Frejlord lore or even the Ionian characters.
Tryndamere looks crazy good, that fight was amazing, how he battles death every time he ults, all the love riot
1:55 they stopped taunting when they saw his scar. They know who he is
Hey man who is that champion I don't play lol on the computer, I play wild rift on the telephone and they didn't bring him yet. So who is he
Its a shame we haven’t got anymore shows besides arcane season 1 because i’d watch endless content animated like this
Arcane 2, this year, november
Unfortunately making stuff like this just takes very long, maybe in the future with more AI support
@@katocs please no ai support
@@katocs the stupidest thing I heard today, "ai" "support" bruh- The whole genius of Arcane happened because of absolute human artists control on every aspect of making
@@nexum1676 AI helps in productivity, just a tiny part of a scene takes months to be done and polished, it would take less time with AI.
The way you can clearly see what Morgana and Kayle's relationship was like in such a short time was fantastic.
A MASTERPIECE.
LOVE IT WITH ALL MY SOUL AND HEART.
Is it normal that I have watched this over 70 times?
Ye bro
1:31 the slight side eye of kayle in 1 second summarises so much of their lore... amazing
care to explain? not familiar w/ the lore
Loved that frame I swear
@@jvstdare7119you should read it, it's really good!
Tell me the lore please?
lol shes like "look at this tryhard, ill show you something cooler"
Tryndamere fighting off death against kindred using sheer Rage with Ashe coming to save him is visual poetry and I'm all here for it. The lore behind it is awesome too. Gameplay wise, the Kindred versus Tryndamere matchup feels exactly like it's portrayed in the Cinematic. Riot gets a lot of props for their cinematics. I can only hope that this season is better than previous ones.
Explain ashe saving him please
@@liftingforfun2347 She's his wife.
@@liftingforfun2347 They're married in cannon
@@liftingforfun2347 they are both politically married
@@liftingforfun2347 Tryndamere wasn't physically fighting Kindred. He was in his undying rage blindly fighting soldiers while in spirit he was fighting Kindred for his life. Ashe appearing is her coming to save him as he's out numbered and about to die and him healing his wounds using his W saving him from death/kindred
always got chill everytime I watched it
I cant stop rewatching this masterpiece 😭
if they made a 5h film with this quality I would be watching it on repeat!! Please RIOT we all want that
It probably would take decades to create a whole movie with this quality of modeling bro...should be happy to have arcane instead
@@holee1341I mean with actors playing it would still be awesome to have a movie about og runeterra lore
arcane?
@@Rosi-qr8ux we want a runeterra movie not only piltover and zaun. But lets be grateful for arcane..
@@anasbouallagui9845 The plan for Arcane is to expand to encompass Runeterra. It's locked to Piltover/Zaun so that non-lore people can connect to characters and understand the world. They're slowly introducing Noxus and Ionia, we saw Ryze too. It will take time tho
In the Tryndamere vs kindred scene, we can see the amount of detail they put on this fight. First, the wolf don't exactly attack Tryn, because he can't. The lamb needs to attack first to give a "peaceful" death, but if the person refuse this arrow, then its the wolf's turn. Lamb can only watch because its a deal, one do not interfere in the others prey, but when Tryndamere attacks the lamb, is not about just another person to die, but a fight for life and then they fight together until Ashe came to the rescue. I just love this little details about their lore and the fact they put in this cinematic
also Lamb did not shoot the arrow to kill him the second time because she knew it was not his time so she stopped attacking him
Also, i might be wrong but I think i noticed something else with that part.
During Tryndamere's fight, we do not see a single dead body on the ground. But after Ashe shot the two behind him, we suddenly saw a lot. Maybe when he rages and is unkillable, Tryndamere doesn't see enemies. He sees Death. And fighting what he sees as the representation of Death, he kills his foes?
@@baptiste5584 Correct. He went into an undying rage. When he came back he grasped reality again and saw the outcome of his rage.
@@karma.6239trynd is not fighting kindred directly, but he fghts kindred indirectly through the battle against the armored men. Kindred doesn't shoot anymore because ashe killed the two armored men behind trynd who were going to kill him. Ashe stopped his death. Kindred was only his death animation.
@@alexn5501 all right guys
I love that at the end Ashe came to help Tryn alone and only fired a hawkshot for backup when she found him. I think that's intended to show that she was worried sick about him and couldn't wait for the search party or any sort of backup and just went on ahead. ❤
this is so sick ! part of why i love league they trancend just video games and give us all sorts of art etc outside the actual game this its stunnig the quality is off the charts!
How this man looked back at his wife after she saved him, that made me shed a tear
Did you see Ashe's eyes while she looking at Tyd closely? That's definitly how people looking at the loved ones I can tell.
You know they dont love each other and are just married for freljord right..? League of legends lore stopped mattering long ago..@@zimohan7463
his eyes went blue again, since his undying rage is over, he is no longer fighting death it self
nah man his r just went into cooldown@@mohabfata6531
My thoughts exactly
I love how accurate the portrayals of Kindreds personalities are: Wolf being so impacient and eager to attack again and again, while Lamb waits and watches, studying the target, slightly turning her head in amusement or curiosity when she sees Trynds inhuman resistance.
That head tilt was great
Also if you notice he refuse to die vs the warriors that's why wolf is the always attacking he is resisting to die
