For the more lore-related cinematics, check also all the "Tales of Runeterra" ones (but leaves the "Shadow Islands" for last). To see a nice story to do a nice reaction video, do this: React to the cinematics "The Climb" AND "Senna: shadow embrace" AND "Ruination" AND "Absolution" IN THIS SPECIFIC ORDER. Then "Thresh unbound" as finale of the story Other greats cinematic for the lore (and the quality) are the character trailers: "Ryze: call of power", "Annie: origins", "Warwick: the wrath of Zaun" And finally, of course, the big cinematics: "Awaken", "The Call", "Warriors (cinematic)" and "Still here". Regarding the Amumu lore: he was an ancient Shuriman prince who was cursed to have inside a curse that kills and destroy everything around. Sadly, because he is a Yordle he cannot die. He wasn entombed. Then, centuries later, he went out the tomb and tried to return to Bandle City, the place where all the Yordle born, which it is in another dimension that can be reached by portals (the "moon" near Bilgewater). However he found no one at home ... he is cursed to be forever alone, because anyone who touch him becomes dust (the first scene was probably him after touching a small animal, but not sure). To understand the general lore of Runeterra, check Necrit's video about the world of the MMO and the timeline.
in the game you can definitely play anything from 'a guy with a gun' to 'the creator of the universe'. I think the game itself used to be canon to the world, using magical rules to even the playing field between competitors, but I think they took that out a good while ago, probably for the better.
One thing to remember about watching LOL cinematics is Arcane is not that much related to some of them 😊😊😊. LOL's lore is vast, Arcane is just a scratch😂😂😂
Heya, already know u from your OP channel - and you do that there as well but just wanna highlight that's nice you also look up stuff after videos on your own instead of rushing through all the content. Some get explanations from their chat while doing these reactions live but there aren't enough ppl who google stuff afterwards and have me Leo Dicaprio-Meme when you find out stuff about characters xD I'd encourage to do that more, maybe even look up a champion story synopsis if you're interested (some also check the wiki and go through all the champion skins but that's content for much later in your LoL jourmey). For recommendations (sorry this will be getting long and while its not pro-YT-algorithm I'll just leave one huge comment that could guide you instead of being under every video) you can keep going with your list, though some topics might be better to watch as part of one video: (1) alternative skin universes for example (like PROJECT in this video who will have several trailers scattered over the years) - these don't just change your ingame visuals but have their own lore and stories to explore (like Arcane before they made it canon, changing the lore of champs like Vi, Jinx etc ingame if it deviated) (2) or season start cinematics which release each year at the start of the ranked season to hype ppl up (beginning in 2018). Those r the highest quality and usually for a broader audience since most ppl reacting to these never even played LoL I'll copy paste a part of a comment I already gave to other reactors: "You won't get a lot of lore out of most League cinematics and will have to watch specific content creators to get some explanation most of the time. People will then mention "Necrit" - the biggest LoL lore YT content creator there is and I'd recommend 1-2 videos that will show you the continents and world of LoL which will give you an understanding how this fictional planet looks like without going in depth on any of the characters specifically. A good starting point would be: "The world of Riots MMO is already done" (was made to explain the world to all the hyped ppl after the LoL MMO got announced) After (your playlist that ends in 2019 I think you said?) I'd recomment the ~2020 released Tales of Runeterra videos (they r ads for the card game Legends of Runeterra / LoR). There is one for most of the continents and will give u a general idea what the regions are about and will introduce some characters to you, while we r still heavy on the world building side of things and less about "spoiling" any characters. There is a playlist on YTs LoL channel but some r: Before the Glory, The Raid, None Escape, After Victory, True Genius, The Lesson and Double-Double Cross." When it comes to trailers that would suit being together in one video (especially cuz ppl look up these terms when looking for reactions and it's nice having them specifically in your title) I'd say: (1) Season start cinematics mentioned above: The Climb in 2018 and continue with Awaken (2019), Warriors ('20), Ruination ('21), The Call (22) - ignore 2023 - and Still Here from this year (2) alternative skin universe K/DA (you'll figure it out but it's a skin line about a virtual music group) consisting of 6 videos: POPSTARS (2018 - will prob get -false- claims compared to 99% of league content) and their comeback album in 2020 cuz of the huge success: THE BADDEST, MORE, VILLAIN, DRUM GO DUM, I'LL SHOW YOU (another group video and one song for each member) (3) alternative skin universe Star Guardians (parts of it will be in your playlist I'd guess): BURNING BRIGHT, A NEW HORIZON, SHADOW & LIGHT, RETURN TO VALORAN CITY, EVERYTHING GOES ON, NEW DREAMS shorts: SERAPHINES VLOG, ORIANNAS VLOG, SENNAS VLOG, SHADOW OF DOUBT (4) Worlds / esports songs - so from sept-nov each year there is Worlds (world championship) and starting in 2014 they all get their own theme (like Warriors in this video). If you wanna make a video for the rest (or edit the first one in there) here are your songs from 2014-2024: WARRIORS, WORLDS COLLIDE, IGNITE, LEGENDS NEVER DIE, RISE, PHOENIX, TAKE OVER, BURN IT ALL DOWN, STAR WALKIN', GODS, HEAVY IS THE CROWN (5) Opening ceremonies which are live acts before the final of each Worlds which have live performances of not only the theme (see (4)) but also the music of 1-2 others songs like the season start cinematics or special skin lines of the year - those are entertaining from an outsiders perspective as well cuz of the technics used during the performances (not gonna spoil much more here). If interested imo start with 2017 WORLDS OPENING CEREMONY and keep going with the same search term for each year - usually ~15-20 mins videos. 2018 is my fav cuz of a specific skin line and the communities fav is prob 2019 - so those r must watch if u cover this side of LoL. Since you mention the size factor this video I'd also recommend some more fun Necrit videos (dw he is fine with reactions of his content) like "How Powerful Are Champions According to Lore?" or "Story of League of Legends Explained" (so anything before the current state how you see it in Arcane for example). I think that's it for now, hope I didn't forget anything in the topics I covered, feel free to ask questions o7
good comment! The yearly season start cinematics, the yearly Worlds cinematics, the Legends of Runeterra videos, the K/DA and Star Guardian stuff are definitely all great suggestions.
to explain the situation amumu is under, the history have no conclusion because there is none in the first place. The thing is, hes condemned to kill anyone he touches and ruin the life of anyone he likes even though he would do nothing wrong. Since this curse will last for eternity, there will be no way to break tgus curse, even death avoid to take him
There's an anime that I know you'd love! Don't look up anything about it or you could easily get spoiled, but give Erased a shot if you haven't watched it already 😁
16:21 Look at the man just landing perfectly that guess on how rek'sai sounds in game.
24:45 that's the skin, she can change the maps music as well as change forms ingame.
in ekko seconds there is Powder in the mural... that was years before arcane, even years before we knew anything about jynx past

PROJECT is a skinline just being showcased. Most of LOL skinlines have it's own lores and they're all good read 😂
The regiin is 'Shurima' 😊
One thing to remember about watching LOL cinematics is Arcane is not that much related to some of them 😊😊😊. LOL's lore is vast, Arcane is just a scratch😂😂😂
If you look at ekko's mural, there's a blurry drawing of a girl with blue hair that could be powder
They are a set of skins called project
Kled, the Noxian yordle :)
If you want to know about the power scaling, I suggest necrit’s video on champion power level according to lore.
