"This looks like a painting". Without even knowing the lore behind jhin the man gets it

Irelia: appears Chris: "ooh cute" ladies and gentlemen, we got him.

*Jhin appears* Chris: "Everything looks like a painture man!" Jhin: Because it's ART

Chris: they are both an A+. Me as lol player: Dude why no s+

Him: "Oh, Vi has hands. That's cool." Vi in my team: "I hAvE WHAT ?"

*This dude himself looks like he is animated.*

Vi: Unlocks her glove gauntlet Him: *Oh she has hands*

This guy is hecking passionate about this and I’m all for it

Draven hearing that "he kinda looks like me" - "You wish, kiddo"

Fun fact: Lorewise this gorgeous purple and blue colors in Jhin/Camille scene, which impressed Chris so much... so, lorewise this colors are guts and blood of soldiers who were just blew up by landmines. And Jhin's magic made them look like color bombs.

When he said Urgot is disgusting, I felt that.

So something I love about League cinematics is how the in-game abilities of the characters are implemented. Sometimes it's a bit more obvious like the charged two-handed power strike Sion(The giant) does at 4:51, or how Draven(the bored king-looking dude) in his opening shot is spinning that knife like he does his signature spinning axes later. But its also done subtly at times, such as when Jhin(The masked piano dude) has his unique ammo/reload mechanic implemented into the cinematic when you see him fire exactly 4 shots, or when you see Yasuo(Tornado samurai) doing his tornado into dash ability combo. I didn't even catch the Yasuo thing until I watched this video and saw the frame by frame. I'd list every ability that's thrown in there if there weren't so many because as a fan, that's SUPER hype to me. Some extra fun lore-based tidbits I feel like throwing out: -The sword Draven threw to Riven(Gladiator girl) in the arena was no random sword, but her signature broken runeblade she had before her imprisonment for treachery(the two of them are/were military bigwigs, they know each other). So when Draven throws the weapon right around 3:59 they show it at multiple angles: One to see Draven himself throwing the blade, another at the side so that fans can realize that it's HER signature sword, and then the blade-POV shot so that the viewer knows it's being thrown at her. Draven in-lore is an arrogant executioner that lives for the show. He lets his victims run for the hill and if they manage to avoid getting a spinning axe to the back, they can go (Spoiler alert, they don't). So when I see that I'm thinking, "Is this cheeky bastard doing what I think he's doing?" and later when he's running to jump down into the arena I'm yelling "Hell YEAH he's doing what I think he's doing!" -Sylas(Chain-whip dude in "Warriors") is from Demacia, a knightly-esque nation where magic is forbidden. Commoner mages such as him were imprisoned and mistreated merely for discovering they have aptitude. Lux(blonde mage girl) along with her brother Garen(Sword Berserker dude) are Demacian nobility fighting with their countrymen against Sylas' newly-freed army of persecuted mages. Lux and Garen try to hide Lux's aptitude for magic (as do all of the nobility hypocritically do, which fuels Sylas' wrath) hence why she gets tossed around early on in the cinematic until one of Sylas' grunts drops a magic staff. The giant Lux summons at the end of the cinematic from the sky is another character named Galio, who is a sentient magic colossus that utilizes absorbed magic to move around. The magic absorbing material Galio is made of is called "Petricite", the same thing Sylas' gauntlets are made of(the glowy sword you see him manifest as he's about to finish off a downed Garen is in fact Garen's sword, and a demonstration of Sylas' signature ability of absorbing magic and utilizing the skills of his enemies against them). Funnily enough, Lux previously visited Sylas in prison and learned from him how to control her own magic. Sylas in return would ask Lux for books from her family's prestigious libraries, which eventually led to him learning that his Petricite shackles ABSORB magic rather than suppress it. He then uses an unwitting Lux's powers to break out and start his revolution to overthrow the whole country.

25:44 " Everything looks like a painting, man" it's so funny to say that, that character (Jhin) is an artist and he finds art in killing people in a dramatic fashion. So bizarre of you to say that at that exact frame because it describes the entire character! "I must wait until the composition is perfect."- Jhin.

Little did Chris know as soon as he went into this fandom He would never come out lol

One of my favorite lore points that goes under appreciated is the segment in the warriors cinematic involving the blonde haired guy and battle angel girl teaming up (Ezreal and Kai'sa Respectively). IIRC, Ezreal is an adventurer that is essentially self-indulgence personified. He lives to please only himself, and one of his hobbies that illustrates that is his tendency to raid ancient sites for relics to keep for himself or sell for money. These relics usually are infused with ancient powers that allow him to do things like teleport and shoot magic, despite him being a normal human. He shows an example of this in the cinematic by taking the Tear of the Goddess (an item that both him and Kai'sa build in the actual game) and triggering an ambush of voidlings. These are creatures from the void, an evil place that holds immense power, and terrifying monsters (Cho'gath, Rek'sai, etc.). Kai'sa was born in the void, and the suit serves as a symbiote (Think Venom or Carnage from the DC Universe). That suit is alive and helps her survive in the void, and fight the evil beings that live there. The coolest part IMO is when Ezreal decides to help her fight, and the consequences of that happening. My interpretation is that he's fighting between his obvious instinct to be selfish and save himself, and the "But what if....." in his head. Kai'sa is seen so rarely that she is actually considered a myth to people in the League Universe, so to Ezreal it's like Bigfoot just came to save him. I believe in the middle of fleeing, he has a thought that is ironically self-indulgent in and of itself..."So little people even see Kai'sa, much less fight alongside her, or even save her. Is risking my life worth being able to tell this story?" You bet your ass it is. So he turns around, saves Kai'sa and helps her fight off the voidlings. The idea that this normal guy that's essentially a tomb raider, and lives only for himself, doesn't just get the opportunity to see the legendary Kai'sa in person, but takes it to another level and fights by her side as her equal, immediate goosebumps. Such an underappreciated story. He's probably one of the only people, if not THE only person, in the UNIVERSE to be able to say that he didn't just see Kai'sa, he fought shoulder to shoulder with her against the forces of evil. Imagine how badass you would feel knowing as ordinary as you are, you're the only person in existence to be able to tell that story.

I appreciate the "aw" into "O__O" for Kennan

Annie:Origins League of legends video is one of my best react to that one.

5:22 Chris: Awww Kennen does his ting Chris: oh. : [

36:00 "How is this character style called in the game guys?" That's what we call spin to win.

Chris: They are both an A+. *cries in mastery 5*

I can't wait for Chris to see Annie:Origins, Fiddlesticks Reveal Trailer, and Curse of the Sad Mummy from Riot Games. Overwatch has what I would call real personalities to their characters which I think adds to the cinematic quality compared to League of Legends not really giving their champions much personality. Honor and Glory and Zero Hour from Blizzard's Overwatch team are both amazing.

Ehh saddly nobody wrote that before me, so i must write this all. Ye, who the characters are? 1st Awaken: Jhin (piano guy) is a murder, but when he kills, he dont see blood, only pure art. Camille (his opponent) is one of clan's Ferros best agents. She was sent to hunt jhin when he arrived to Piltover (tech city) Then we have arena in Noxus, qith 2 champions- Riven and Draven. Riven was Noxian solider while first invasion on Ionia happen. Generally her lore is quite long, so ill just say that she left army and tryied to live in Ionia. But then when Noxus attacked Ionia 2nd time she was found by Noxians, which said that she is deserter, and sended her on arena. Draven is famous executioner, and he can make a show from every kill. He is aslo brother of one of Noxian's leaders. Then we have war. Its the second Noxian invasion on Ionia (so it happens before arena scenes). We can see here Irelia (girl with blades). She was leader of villagers fighting for their homeland during 1st invasion, and now she command them again. Sion (BIG GUY) is dead solider revived by Noxian grand general, Swain. He is just killing machine. There are a lot of other characters at this war, but i cant speak about everyone, so ill just say that their names are: Akali (ninja with shroud) Kennen (tiny lightning mage) Karma (shield enchanter) and Yasuo. (Yasuo was banned from his homeland because Ionians thought that he killed his own master, but he didnt do that- his master was slain by... Riven) Aaand- here is second cinematic. The frost castle is in Demacia, biggest Noxian's enemys. Girl's name is Lux, and she is mage. In Demacia mages are hunted and murdered/prisoned, so she was hiding her powers. Her brother Garen (guy with sword) is one of Demacia's best soliders. They both are members of Crownguard- Demacian noble family. Their enemy is Sylas. He is mage, and unfortunally he was caught when he was just a child. Demacians closed him into cage, where he spent about 20 years. (Thats all only because he was mage- and thats why Lux didnt want to use her powers at fight) Sylas met Lux, and she helped him escape. She thought he will just go away. But he didnt. He started mage revolution, and now with barbarians from Freljord he is trying to conquer Demacia. Fight in green scenario happens in Piltover, like earlier Jhin's fight. Characters here are Caitlyn (sniper) and Vi (gauntlet girl). They are cops. Bad guy's name is Urgot, and he want to test everyone's strenght. Test with hard wepon and chemicalies. And... Here we go, last part. Ezreal (boi with blond hairs) is explorer from Piltover. He is trying to steal Tear of the Godess (its ingame item). Btw he is dating with Lux. Strange/void girl's name is Kai'Sa. She was captured by Void when she was child. She survived with void monsters only because she became one of them. She is predator, which can absorbe blood from dead enemys. But she still have human mind, and she is trying to dont kill peaple, and protect them from Void monsters. She is one of most tragic characters, because peaple cant see her real form. They see only another monster, because its rly hard for her to take off her helmet- sun is literally burning her skin. She lives in darkness, and if she wants to go outside of Void, she is wearing this predator helmet. Btw her suit is part of her skin. Thats why she were so suprised when Ezreal decided to help her. Usually peaple are running away or even trying to attack her. And after all, sorry for my terrible grammar. English isnt my main language, so im making a lot of mistakes, ok?

The character with cables out of her hips is Camille. She's not inspired only by Attack on Titan. She's inspired by Lin Beifong from Avatar: Legend of Korra. Lin and Camille share the same design and have the same fighting styles, plus they are cops.

5:22 you perfectly recreated the reaction of everyone first time playing against that little demon

The reason why camera at the start of awaken is askew is because the guy in the mask, jhin is not mentally stable (he sees killing as art). Thats why it is constantly turning, to make you feel like something is wrong and unstable in the presence of him.

ANNIE: Origins is cinematic perfection.. It's actually a short-movie..

I'd never ever watch a 40 minute video of someone trying to explain cool details from 2 cinematic trailers, But this dude makes it look and sound so interesting i couldn't stop watching it. He even makes it sound fun :?

Jhin would be really happy to know a fellow artist likes the composition he made in that theater.

Haha when he said both were A+ my league of legends player inside said “what? No S rank?!” ;)

All the “Tales of Runeterra” cinematics are not music related and are awesome. They’re basically trailers for factions of a League of Legends card game(Legends of Runeterra)

About the first scene, the "blue scene" where the camera is twisting around... I would say that since that is the only scene with that "twisting" camera it would be to show that the character shown is twisted as well, wich makes sense since that's a psycho assassin that makes art from murdering

9:26 at this scene lux literally doing same thing that she did toward sky but stronger... from her eyes you can see reflection of light coming from direction she is looking most of enemies will have most serius case of burning injury there

I love watching people who've never played the game react to these cinematics. It's literally almost as awesome as experiencing them again for the first time. That and the added bonus of maybe picking up a new reason to enjoy the videos I may have never noticed on my own. Thank you for your perspective and enthusiasm.

5:32 "That is so gorgeous mate"... pls remember that that is seen through the eyes of jhin, whats actually happening is those are flying chunks of flesh and sprays of blood erupting from those traps.

when he said “come on i know you’re gonna do something” when the lux appeared, CHRIS I WISH SHE REALLY DID SOMETHING IN MY RANKED GAMES TOO

8:25 "Ew that's disgusting" Yeah I felt that. That's how it is everytime going against a Urgot.

Its so funny for everyone who actually play League of Legends when they cut after Lux goes airborne.. Its sad they did not film it. But we ALL know what happend to the dudes on the other side :3

I would highly recommend Ekko: Seconds if you want a more character driven short

5:12 look at his impression, that's such a cool reaction.

"oh she has hands, thats good" ye we didnt think she did either x)

LoL Cinematics: "Unreal Engine 87" Pog Acutal Gameplay: "Quake Engine" OMEGALUL

The League cinematic named ''A New Dawn'' is a must watch. edit: ok I forgot how good all of the cinematics are and how many there are. I literally just recommend watching all of them LOLL

28:38 - "Ban Kai" Hmmmmm I see that you are a man of culture Chris ;) xD

League fans would be like: "A+ what do you mean?!?!?! That's clearly at least a S!!!"

Do "Double double cross", "Annie origins" and "Breathe"

if you want a movie cinematic check " call of power : ryze " form league of legends that one is not a music video and it is amazing

Every time he goes "That's sick", I'm sitting here going "I KNOW, ITS SO COOL!!!"

the character has his power move and he is reveled after - league players* we all know who that boi was (yasuo)

Blizzard Creates Cinematic Movies Riot Creates Music Videos

Love watching people watching the League cinematics for the first time . Their reaction is always the same. Mouth open and gagging XD

I think a few commenters have pointed it out but the character in Awaken that you were commenting on that had the really nice blues and purples is named Jhin. An integral part of Jhin's backstory is that he's a serial killer but a very deranged one who believes all his killings are beautiful works of art and he sets the scenario up to be as if he and his victims are in a play. That's why the scene with him in it looks so visually pleasing. Additionally he is obsessed with the number four and if you count during his scenes he actually only ever fires 3 shots. Basically his final 4th shot is the finale and as he takes his bow and the "performance" for him is ended he is about to fire his final shot but ofc they leave it a mystery whether he or the Attack on Titan lady (named Camille btw) will win. It's great because it's really subtle story telling that is visually pleasing for casual viewers such as yourself to watch but also incredibly gratifying for more hardcore viewers who understand more of the intricate lore and meanings behind the characters and the world. And this happens in almost every frame of these videos. Also please go back and watch the old cinematic called "A New Dawn"

If Chris knew what those last moments of Lux showing magic in front of a Demacian army meant he would be even more astonished! Love the reaction

Honestly, this one's more about the music, but watch "As We Fall", the cinematic and the music are absolutely stunning

Jhin is an amazing artist.

"bankai" as an OBSESSED bleach fan, that hit my heart in the right way not gonna lie hahaha.

Just get this guy into LoL Lore already. PLEASE introduce him to Necrit's channel.

The ASLEEP version is stained into my memory. I cant watch this normally now.

If you want a jaw drop live effects performance, check out the 2019 league of legends championship finals intro

hearing him inhale so sharply and then just whisper "soul blade..." at 8:34 is the reason i subscribed, i love how excited and passionate he is

You randomly popped while I was looking at all the Warriors cinematic recommendation and at first I though "damn,40 mins video? I'll just watch his faces during the cinematics and then stop" but jesus christ I sat on my bed and watched the full video and enjoyed it more than I could have imagined! Keep up the amazing works,I'll go watch your other videos too now🤙🏻

I really wanna see him react to and break down the League cinematic “A New Dawn”

Warriors is also just a stunningly beautiful cinematic. Especially the details when the girl had her helmet thing off and her hair flowed, must of took so much effort to make

Wow, your genuinely raw emotional reaction to this video is awesome. I can see you have so much passion! Love the videos

Irelia: *shows up* Chris:..... FBI: Wait a minute bois Chris: cute FBI: NOW BOIS NOW

The song you thought you know is from imagine dragons, they made it in 2014 for a tournament video called Warriors ft. Imagine dragons, the song is amazing and probably the best league of legends had in any music video. This Warriors you have seen now is their 10 year anniversary so they remade the song into an orchestra with a choir and is it fucking amazing.

LEAGUE OFLEGENDS: KDA popstar, GIANTS , Rise and the reveal of fiddlesticks rework that creepy cinematic

I like your energy man ive seen quite a few reactions and watched these cinematics many times but this one stood out for sure keep it up

I love his reactions man. So genuine, so enjoying, idk, watching this gave me chills all over the cinematics just because his reactions kinda hyped me up too

Love it when he sees Kennen and goes "Awww" then right into O.O

Chris: Moves His sleeves: *Sweating intensifies*

No one's going to suggest for him to react to "A New Dawn" "Burning Bright" "A New Horizon" or the new Starguardian cinematics to him? Okay

first vid ive seen of these. I always thought their cinematics were cool, but didn't know why. def gonna subscribe. Super cool vids. Keep up the good work.

7:00 *ezreal uses e to dodge malzahar w* chris : *surprised pikachu face* me too man

Just found your channel. And im enjoying it all day! Great work. And i bet you will have tons of fun with League of Legends' videos.

I think I fell in love with how passionate you are about your job!

If you want more storytelling or movie-like cinematics, you should watch the Tales of Runeterra series, you see more of character interactions and their personalities and stuff

You shoudl definitely watch Rise and Terror in Demacia!!! But rise is priority!!!!

Love that you watch first and then explain your professional opinions. Love itttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!

15:09 I JUST realized they introduced the gladiator king spinning his knife around his finger-EXACTLY the way he spins his swords when he fights!

26:14 Yasuo does'nt need any introductions

Reacto to Annie; Origins and Legends of Runaterra trailer ( artistically speaking they are beautiful)

Yeah that shot of Jhin bowing in front of Camille is JUST INCREDIBLE.

I saw your Blizzard Reacts and then the League of Legends cinematics. I came here and was not disappointed!

Would absolutely love a reaction to the Warframe cinematic trailer from Tennocon 2019. It’s an actual masterpiece

React to league of legends "Rise" please

God I love this channel, keep up the good work!

Oh man! I just love this guy's reactions! He's so mesmerized by it!

Fun fact: the second song is a cover of Imagine Dragons’ “Warriors”, which is a song they wrote for the 2014 LoL World Championship

9:17 I feel that too man, I feel that too

I enjoyed this very much, nice video :)

those vids always gives me chills:)

its as they say: Riot created LoL to promote their music. League makes more music videos with amazing songs and animation, they're all as epic as this and you could review them all honestly. They're either to promote skins for the characters of the game or sometimes it's for some lore when there's new characters and there's others for special events like esports championships. But all of them (or almost all) are song videos and all are super high quality. Overwatch makes more.. "story" videos (even if Overwatch not having a well defined lore is kind of a meme). They also use good music of course, but the videos look more like "what if Pixar was making shorts" kind of deal. At the end of the day, both companies make insanely good animated videos and you can go and react to them any time, you won't be with a lack of content for a while and we love watching those videos, no matter how many times we do it, plus your reactions to the videos are always great! ps: you might've heard that song "warriors" before as it is a song from an older LoL video. The song is called "warriors", the other video is also called "warriors". That song is originally by Imagine Dragons and they used it here with a slower, more darker tone and a girl singing.

You should do the League of Legends cinematics "Call of power" and "A new dawn". The League cinematics don't have a particular order like the World of Waracraft ones, there's just newer and older ones. Great video as always though!

That little awe when Kennen shows up followed by the sharp expression change when he zapped the hell out of Sion is priceless.

I absolutely love watching this guy react to things. I feel like he gets just as giddy as I do about high quality game trailers as I do

This guys reaction to yasuo is so accurate 5:12 To be fair, most of these videos only get a lot better if you know the actualy lore

Plot twist: the dude himself is animated

You make great reaction videos, Chris. Really like them! :D

I love your videos man. I watched your kind of cinematic teaser; from the looks of it you're an amazing producer, you have that sort of comic book anime/video game style of science fiction/fantasy to it, very similar to the way this video behaved, like when Ezreal (the guy who stole the Tear and could teleport or "blink" short distances.) activated his energy bow. Your eyes kind of lit up when he did that.
