You could say he's a bit of a problem; truly built different.

On first watch of the cinematic I had to check out all of Olaf's part multiple times. (some view him as a lame lore character, overused trope etc) I don't care, fucking love the champion. (Not for gameplay, I fucking love characters like Olaf.

@@bars6937 lol not even Aatrox

I think we can safely assume that Riot won’t fuck up an event’s story that badly again. They’ll make sure not to have 3 separate teams doing their own version of the story, and they’ll probably try to lean away from including certain champs just for the sake of selling skins.

I would think that pantheon will make a deal with aurelion sol were he would help to destroy those who used his power (in other words relied on the power of a god) in Exchange for to leave Runeterra alone

The ascended form is no longer canon :-(

@@szaladinsarakany there is no reason to believe aurelion would honor any deals.

Bruh, as much as i like to agree, SoL Ranth cannot be cannon and prestige ascended even less Also, Atreus would never control Asol, cuz that's what Pantheon did and he would hate that.

Based on reactions i saw on twitch with number of streamers i assume they also really liked it.

It doesn't reveal much lore, and we already know about what little lore it reveals. Cinematic is dope though.

Trn. The only frejlordian who uses swords. With an extreme crit focus in his kit. Who also would need a weapon strong enough to get revenge on aatrox in lore.

Well Ornn is gigantic, how could Leona even wield that sword?

Crit leona canon

@@davidforde2507 that makes wsy more sense

Ornn making weapons for champions would be a very bad decision from Riot, it would literally be the same thing they did to some other characters in the Ruination event. If Ornn made weapons for certain characters they would become extremely powerful in the lore, that's why they shouldn't do it. Imagine Olaf with axes made by Ornn, he could even melt true ice with them. The only way to return them to their normal power level is to take the weapons away from them, but then why did they even get it. This would be the same with the Ruination, because it wouldn't really continue the character's storyes. Look at Rengar for example, after he fought the black mist will he really just go back to Ixtal and continue hunting? Why was he even included in the event then? Sure he will remember it, but it doesn't make his character grow in any significant way. In my opinion characters should face enemies equal in power to them, and make the events in their own corresponding region. And I too think that Ornn forged the Infinity Edge in the cinematic!

Just the same as a shadow isles event with little yorick

I'm afraid that they forgot Kassadin and Jax, both of then have fighting the void for such a long time, but in the end what matters is who is popular enough to sell skins :(

Kassadin could have been the mystery vgu, but based on the leak wich is very accurate, I think it will most likely be Cho'gath or Jax

@@victoralves3368 According to a leak recently Jax is the mystery VGU but this could be a ruse

fr she's strong not only bc she survived the Void but also bc of how she continues helping the people of Shurima out of kindness and care for their well-being even when they see her as some sort of monster. just want her to have some sort of happiness like when lucian finally reunited with his wife. at least she has taliyaah as an ally though. I have a question: Kai'Sa is just falling as she proceeds to use shoot Reksai so does that mean she's gonna get stuck in the Void again or can she get out like leaving a room?

Tbh wouldn't it make even more sense for him to try and smite another possible iteration of Pantheon, rather than an aspect? I mean if he's mad about being controlled, he'd want to delay the other person regaining that control as quickly as possible. Then again it's also possible he tried hitting both of them.

Aurelian hates the Pantheons tho he doesn’t really feel anything towards the sun

Asol can break free any time he want but he didn't do it because he scared of what beyond the void. In the lore, when he go to fix the portal, he used his ult into the hole and it does nothing to the creature beyond it so he still obey the command and wait for the right moment.

Dude aurelion sol powers can ERASE the whole Mountain of Targon. If it was him who lasered Atreus the man would just be pure dust and same for léona. Dont forget that aurelion is like another galaxy over every character in the game.

Good theory

Actually it was most likely Aatrox. We need to remember that the dude is fucking massive and the slash going across the statue is obviously something done with a sword.

It was mentioned in the story that the Darkin didn't kill her with the blow, just laid her down for many centuries. Maybe my english is wrong but I don't think that means it killed her. It could have been Aatrox, but he is not that vicious, Rhaast is vicious, but sadly it can be a Darkin that was never even mentioned. We just don't have any information to assume it was Aatrox or Rhaast

@@tamas9554 Or pretty much any other darkin

@@risky2166 Yeah

Asol would never be free. if he successes to break himself free all living creature would be in danger. He would be an higher enemy than the void and an incredible opponent to pantheon. Maybe the only one that would survive all of this is Zoe. The only one that matches aurelion sol strength ( but not really) is mordekaiser but 1) he is in another realm 2) he is just not an ally. So him ( Aurelion sol ) teamming up with pantheon would be really unlikely.

@@heysalve9753 How would Mordekaiser fare against ASol? I don't see anything implying his power is that crazy.

@@heysalve9753 how mordekaiser equal to Asol? Zoe will not survived, she will be dead first.

@@Valigarmanda Aurelion isn't associated with the Void. The void was there before existence and it was existence that awakened it. Aurelion is scared of the Void, so why would he make a new void species?

@@Valigarmanda I think this is a natural development of the Void. Cause, the whole theme about the Void is Evolution, they are constantly changing and adapting. So, what if, while the Voidborn champions are still doing their original stuff in Runeterra, things in the Void evolved beyond their original design/plans? Saying, instead of being "consume everything" it evolved into "conquer everything", cause now there's talks about "purple cities" and "rule everything" and an "Empress"

"Let them fight"

Zoe doesn't makes sense either she just goes around playing she doesn't "work"

Atreus would never ally himself with A Sol, he hates all things non-human (EDIT: divine/nearly all the Aspects). Meanwhile A Sol wouldn't even recognise his existence 😂 would be exciting though

@@DrAlchem01 He doesn't hate all things not human, he likes soraka. You make him sound like a racist LOL

Nah, i dont think he will release Asol, he didnt even know about the crown on Asol head

Wouldn't asol wipe out the entire planet from existence the moment he's freed? Would pantheon want that? Would he be practical? Or no comprimise even in the face of armegeddon.

haha it was so cool when bel'veth said, "it's Bel'vin time" and totally bel'ved all over the resistance haha.

I really thought we would get a Darkin lore update when they made a cinematic/MV for Varus but nope, everything after that was swept under the rag.

I think Jax is more likely the new VGU, Zilean is in his tower after all, he can't leave it. Honestly it is never mentioned that he can leave his tower, but I assume he doesn't go to other places because he is bound to it. Jax on the other hand is freely roaming around Runeterra, so it would make more sense if he helped to fight the void back in Shurima

dont forget lissandra

I think there are too many champions fighting the void for all of them to have a major role. Eventaully, it's like 8 different teams fighting against the void in their own ways, and one (or few) of them are gonna be in the lead, the rest will be just side roles. Hopefully, their side roles will be more than Yorick's brief mention in the non-canon client novel.

"the Void Figheters", Zilean is never a figher, learn more about him in LoR.

As a Rek'Sai main I hope Kai'Sa gets eaten.

They will drive the void back and close many rifts, they will not destroy it, the cannot destroy it. It will come back in other events in the very distant future.

It is impossible to this be the end of the Void, the writers at Riot know what they are doing. I assume it will be just a minor battle against the void, not a war

I find it likely that Atreus headed to the celestial realm for a reason, but Ornn fighting a Watcher? A Watcher COULD only be destroyed by an entity like Aurelion, Orrn is very powerful compared to other beings in Runeterra, but a Watcher would obliterate him

They've been like that for the past few years

@@RafaSilva98 Awaken is a bit behind in term of lore, probably the best of the four cinematic but the less important lore wise.

that would be an impressive storm, considering Freljord is half a world away from Mt Targon

That can't be the storm from Freljord, the two regions are just too far away from each other

maybe ask yourself because they didn't talk about it

In the cinematic there's a close up shot of pantheons eyes focusing on fighting Leona and for a split second he looks up. Then it cuts to Leona, brows furrowed and then she dodged. Leona didn't know it was coming, pantheon basically inadvertently warned her about it by focusing his gaze on it. Besides Leona is also a god like panth. So yeah, they can do superhuman things. Like maybe she can sense the heat coming from it. Since the sun is a star. And sol just shot a star at panth.

Doesn't really make sense why would the aspects order Aurelion to stop Atreus from reaching the peak, but not ordering him to help defeat the darking or the void rift that opened in Icathia or other parts of Runeterra

@@tamas9554 Because non of them got close enough to the mountain, the only way into the celestial realm. The last time someone came close enough to being a direct threat (Aatrox), War came down himself and we all know how that turned out. Reducing all direct defensive operations to simply defending the front gate into their realm while by that also minimizing the risk that comes with the "use" of Aurelion seems pretty reasonable. Defend the gates, simple stuff.

@@kunibertrandolf1886 This theory would make sense if we had any evidence, but sadly we got no storyes for Targon. Until then I could even say that Kayle will fight Pantheon in the celestial realm, because we know nothing

I mean Atreus is the plot armor of lol so it doesn't surprise me

that was retconed

aaaaaaand spirit blossom.

It could be, but at the same time it'd be weird for Riot to release the supposed big bad of the void event and not do the event itself for a long ass while. Even though Viego came out early last year and Ruination was only during the summer, it still happened in 1 season. Only way I can see it happening is if the event itself will be so massive they'll have to cut it in two parts. First part which will include the Void Empress will unravel during this season, and at the end as they take her down, the battle in Freljord between Sejuani, Volibear and possibly Ornn might reawaken a watcher, which will lead into the second part involving Lissandra and more powerful forces like Asol, Aspects etc.

Asol wasnt afraid of the void. He was referring to him sensing fear from the aspects for the first time as he disobeyed their commands and even evaporated pantheon. They witnessed him talking control which meant their started losing their grip on him.

If there was a void event it wouldn't be a massive fight against it. Most likely the new voidborn champ will try to attack a city and devour it, most likely Belveth. The void is supposed to be the biggest and latest enemy Runeterra will face, entire nations uniting to finally end the Watchers. But that is very, very far away

I agree .... But maybe THIS is the the 1 big scale attack from the void .... A tease of how runaterra will fight .... And if they get repelled .... Hope some one talks sense into mordekaiser, pantheon befriends aurelion and the sentienls wake Viego up Beacuse runaterra will need absolutely everything to stand a chance against the void Also remember that all voidborne are weak when they cross out of his dimension so is not crazy that they can repell the first big attack even with the empress

@@vergil9981 I dont think it will only stay at trying to repel the void borne, because in the hollow spun short story (the story before Taliyah and Kai'Sa met and went to Xolan) there was a kind of void borne called the LampLights by Kai'Sa that makes the hatchlings and callers stronger by giving the others a glow. but what doesn't make sense is that the Dunebreaker (also a voidborne) sees the LampLights as enemy and starts to chase the power away. (i think the dunebreaker also went and kill the ones that received the glow) So it might not only be the void that is the problem here.
