I think the most likely explanation for Janna's Spirit god form is to bring her more in line with Volibear and Ornn in appearance. She only coincidentally looks like an Ascended or a Celestial to some people because she is decorated in Shuriman aesthetics.
@Late0NightPC9 ай бұрын
I can't help but doubt that. The Freljordian Demi-gods are all far more polarized in their design. Volibear, and Anivia are very animal-like in their designs, with Anivia being a literal bird, and Volibear being basically just a Bear that walks upright. They're all the types of character designs you'd expect to see out of small scale fables and folk tales, like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, stuff passed down orally from parent to child. The Ascended are far more "animal and human blended together", with Azir, Nasus, and Renekton effectively being a human body that has taken on additional animalistic traits rather than being "an animal that moves slightly more human-like than normal animals". They're closer to the kind of "actual gods" you'd see a formal organized religion contain, with the obvious example being Egypt, but also other mythologies like Hindu and I'd honestly describe it as, the Freljordian demi-gods are "animals that act like people" , the Ascended are "furries", and Janna seems far more "furry" than "animal", so I really doubt she's meant to be connected to the Freljordian Demi-gods rather than the Ascended.
@MeLlamoBauti9 ай бұрын
@@Late0NightPCEh, volibear has a canon skin depicting him as an eldritch horror, and as far as I know, the freljordian gods are stronger than the ascended knock offs However, I would really vibe with an ascended janna, leaving stupid human matters aside and being blessed with wind magic by her ascension, helping others until eventually becoming demi-godlike by pure chance
@risky21669 ай бұрын
First of all, i think she is MEANT to look like the ascended. Because essentially the ascended is a knock off to Shuriman original god. But yeah, the Bibically Accurate aesthetic made her clash with Kayle aesthetic a bit too much. And i agree she being Runeterra own god like the Freljordian Gods and not from space (aspect) or artificial (ascended). And im okay with her having different direction with the Freljordian Gods, kinda like different place have different aesthetic for their gods (just like irl). But yeah, to be fair more animalistic design would be welcomed
@ArkLazarusMaximus9 ай бұрын
@@Late0NightPC Ornn is essentially a dwarf with the face of a ram and Volibear also leaned more into an anthropomorphic design compared to his pre-rework design, though not as much as the Ascended like you pointed out. Realistically Anivia is only a full on bird because she hasn't been reworked and possibly that her design may be too iconic to her character to be brought in line with Volibear and Ornn, despite the fact that change would absolutely make her more popular. However, my point wasn't that Janna matched up 1:1 with the Freljordian spirit gods, only that she was pulled into that general direction. The differences come as a result of Volibear and company being Freljord gods whereas Janna is effectively a Shuriman god.

@GaidenDS108 ай бұрын
I agree with this one but you can also blame the writers who changed the whole lore since 2014 and spoonfed Janna as a character into a Goddess….. at first there’s nothing wrong with that as long as you are making a right direction. This new visual update is equivalent of ruining Spiderman or Superman’s classic design, but in a very worst scenario possible. But that 2nd form though, they can keep the idea. Still really wish Riot makes a proper update on her, and not just pleasing a certain group or something.
@straecat7 ай бұрын
I agree. I'm a long term Janna main as well. I think she should be more in touch with her nature-like roots. Less gold plating and biblically-accurate angel, more birdlike, wild, and elemental. Her first form is okay. A bit "too" shuriman if you ask me, because very few people think Shurima when they think of Janna, it's a bit confusing unless you go DEEP into the lore like this. But the second is just weird. Janna is a gentle goddess - soft-spoken, feminine and graceful. But this form is anything but. It's cold, harsh and divine. She looks almost identical to Kayle. I hate to be such a downer but it's really disappointing to lose a character we love by having what makes them who they are stripped away.

My only complaint is that k prefer her old voice. Her old voice was more angelic and it suited her. Her old voice really captured her essence as a wind goddess and almost sounded like it was fading like the wind. I have to say that I do like her tan skin since also white people are not always pale since some are a more tanned. But then again she’s a goddess so I imagine she can change her color at anytime. This reminds of The Virgin Mary when she appeared to Saint Juan Diego; she changed her appearance to look more indigenous to look more friendly and thus became the Virgin of Guadalupe. Janna definitely gives this vibes.

I have this headcannon that Janna is old enough to be the reason why Ascended look like that. That Celestials knew how to put their power and themselves into mortals(the aspects) but as the sun disk was just putting celestial power into mortals to make them into demigods, the mortal forms couldnt take the power alone and not collapse, so the Celestials decided to alter their forms as part of the Ascension, and base their forms into something that already existed and worked, Janna (and perhaps other gods? that were forgotten?) and due to that, the Ascended have their bodies morphed by the Ascension into animals's like forms. All of this, the same way scientist create mechanisms that mimic a biological process that an animal or plant does.
