This is just a quick cut of the 3 hour react stream. With every watch we discovered something new.
The full lore breakdown should be up tomorrow!

[vulterion]

I like the idea that Trynda isnt immortal he just beats up Kindred every time they come for his soul.

[jason_a_rodriguez]

I absolutely love how kindred looks in this. Wolf is a terrifying, relentless beast ready to take your soul. Lamb looks so uncanny, but strangely calm and peaceful almost.

In Yasuos' part, this cinematic might be teasing the way Yasuo is going to die in the future and that is the reason we can also see the wolfs eyes in the background with the arrows ready to hit Yasuo.

[Smainchoker]

The idea that Tryndamere is fighting Kindred while in his undying rage and not his enemys is phenomenal

[dioxide]

For those curious on the timeline of the cinematic, from an article on dotesports, the Creative Director said the scenes are basically divided into 3 different eras of Runeterra. One during old Demacia era approx. 1000 years ago, The other when Ashe joined Tryndamere after becoming Oathsworn, and the final one into a potential future of Ionia.

I love Lamb's subtle movements here!
When Tryn refuses death and fights her, she tilts her head slightly. As if she is curious about this random man's determination.
Then later, just before Ashe's arrows come flying she slightly lowers her bow and does not take the shot on Tryn, because shefeels Ashe comming and senses Tryn is no longer in mortal danger as he is about to be saved. Brilliant.

I also love the implication that Tryn is actually still fighting his enemies but keeps seeing them as Kindred when he is close to death. Or maybe that whole fight was just in his head and passed within a second in the real world.

[justez]

The side eye Kayle gave to Morgana triggered me so much that I immediately knew it was the start of their fallout with one another

[CyanPhoenix_]

that little head tilt that kindred does after jumping back was such an awesome little touch, the entire animation was just absolutely breathtaking.

[floringliga]

The cinematic is about the Past, Future and Present

The Past, is of Kayle and Morgana, before they decided to go their separate ways of dealing with justice. It also explains how Aatrox already knows them despite not knowing Demacia itself, simply cuz at the time this happened Demacia wasn't Demacia yet

The Future is of Yasuo, finghting one last time before accepting the arrow of the Lamb

The Present is of Tryndamere, and his non acceptance of death, both by the Wolf and the Lamb, due to his partial "anger fueled blood magic"

[YaraUwU]

Morgana not caring what people or her sister think of her in order to save them is badass. Her status ment nothing to her if it was going to prevent her from protecting innocents.

Even though kayle is disgusted by it you dont see her not taking advantage of it.

[Idlesthetic]

Oh the disappointment in Kayle’s face is just so real. I have chills!!

[Tiltigo]

Trynda's rage dying down when he saw Ashe was really heartwarming.

[lasserasmussen]

In the Yasuo part, in the end. You can see two orbs light up, having a wolf silhouette and a white arrow flies in front, being the main focus. Just like Tryndamere, he was facing death (Kindred) but unlike Tryndamere, all we see with Yasuo is the white arrow come flying towards him before it cuts to Trynda.. Leaving a cliffhanger of if he got hit or not, but its heavily implicated that he was.

[itsYAKU]

For confusion about old man Yasuo, look at the cinematic's description: "Past, present, and possible future" (paraphrasing right now). The past is Kayle and Morgana v Aatrox, the present is Tryndamere v Kindred, and the future is Yasuo, or at least one of his possible futures.

[dallinlowe]

It makes total sense Tryndamere would basically see Kindred every time he’s raging and on the brink of death. And fighting them off while they’re trying to come for that barbarian ass. So good

[jordy]

Very nice detail in the fight between trynda and kindred is when lamb lowers her bow at the end, realizing both the soldiers trying to kill trynda are gonna die and he isnt at any threat of dying anymore

[regispoulin]

The textures on characters skins are always going to bring back the memory of pantheon's hand in the call, so much quality work put into the cinematics every year!

[CasaHouse]

I loooove the fact that they made Lamb creepy. She's so still that it looks uncanny when she actually moves.

I also love that they visually imply that Trynd vs. Kindred is a hallucination, (bodies vanish, clearing gets a little smaller) but when he snaps out of it he still has the claw marks from Wolf on his pauldron. It WAS real. That was a delightful little twist.

Also Ashe finally has winter clothes!

Thank you for the incredibly fast video. I've been practically vibrating with excitement since this dropped, so the delay on reactions is killing me.

[hoo]

Necrit finding a way to make ANYTHING lead into the mmo is such a skill LOL
