Opera Singer Hears League of Legends Music For the First Time

oh... I wish marco has one of these sessions with Necrit or some other league lore enthusiast.

A video of this format dedicated to a single game is pretty cool actually.

7:17 Kayle and Morgana haven't reunited yet. That scene was set in the past where they used to work together before they had their falling out. That bombastic side-eye from Kayle is foreshadowing the split between them in the future

A 10 year league player? Damn. Hope he gets well soon 🙏

The idea behind Still Here is that it is a vision of death in the future, past, and present. Kayle and Morgana are taking on Aatrox in the past, when they were still together, forshadowing the death of their relationship. The future is with Yasuo, in a potential world (which is literally for a skin tie in) where he continues to wander his entire life, evading the wolf till he finally gives in and accepts that graceful arrow. The present, is with Tryndameres constant fight against the Wolf, his anger literally making it impossible for him to die or accept death, only fading once he sees the love of his life coming to save him. Hes STILL fighting death but its not as steep a hill as it was before.

Timecodes and more. 1:30 - Still here (2024 season cinematic) 8:20 - The Call (2022 season cinematic) 15:10 - Ornn 20:50 - Fiddlesticks theme (rework) 27:15 - Jhin 34:55 - "Get Jinxed" 39:40 - Gwen 45:45 - Viego 54:00 - Udyr theme (rework) Also, i suggest you look up Riot (Riot Music) discography. There are plenty of things people don't really know/remember. Like "Warsongs" album, for example, not much lore behind though . Or 3 albums of "Pentakill" (though it is not a genre i see you to operate in). Among other things. As a sidenote/personal comment (well, because this is my comment) to the point of 14:05 - i don't really think League is as toxic as people make it out to be. At this point it feels like it is more of a meme.

if i remember correctly in "the call" Orn is canonicly making weapon for the first time or at least first time in realy long time

In the Jhin song they've incorporated the bullets, gun and shots, but they've also artistically incorporated the cries of their victims and those mourning them as the choir, because Jhin sees it all as part of his canvas and he's reveling in their sadness and mourning, explaining the contrasting feelings.

33:30 Imo to a degree, Jhin IS disgusted with his self and his work. Because it just...is...never...GOOD ENOUGH!

One of the most interesting bits about Jhin's characterization comes from his entire audio presentation; not just his theme song, but also his voice line delivery. Whenever Jhin speaks to you , the Summoner, his voice is accompanied by a faint, angelic choir. As his Summoner, you are partially sharing his thoughts, and Jhin can hear this beautiful voice accompanying everything he does. He genuinely believes that his craft, the act of killing people, is art , and that by his own bullet he is making people into works of art. And what's also noticeable is that when Jhin speaks out loud to other champions, that choir isn't there . The beautiful, angelic choir that validates his own ego is literally just in his head, and as his Summoner, he shares some of that mania with you.

something i've learnt from playing LoL for like 4-5 years is that Riot Cinematic and Music team are their best teams.

That Fiddlesticks rework video is a huge inspiration to me for my view of horror as a dungeon master for D&D - because it has a lot of narrative from the folk nursery rhyme style to the degradation of the story into the real eruption of screams. It's a real narrative expressed so well in a musical form. My other favorite is the Blade of the Ruined King from Pentakill - it does a great job of illustrating the fall of Viego and his transformation into the Ruined King.

would love for this to have a part 2!

Videos like this remind me how much fun it is too listen to new music with a friend. When you recognize something interesting in the song and can discuss it with one another.

53:34 Josh: "I'd own a bᵃₖᵉᵣʸ........" Marco: "Wait what'd you say sorry you got cut out" Josh: "Oh, I said I'd probably own like a bᵃₖᵉᵣʸ......" humour.

Good thing that you found a friend in a game who's had the same passion in music of this game produced

I think its cool that Kindred gives a quick painless death to those that accept their end, and seeing yasuo close his eyes to the oncoming arrow while wolf is in the background shows that yasuo had earned himself a painless death through kindreds arrow for accepting his end.

"Still Here" still makes me tear up every time it's so beautiful with the cinematic.

I can't tell you how amazing it is to have on a fellow artist who also happens to be a 10-year League Veteran. The League community hates itself so much so it's really nice to see cool people like Josh who are still passionate about the game.

Still Here never fails to gets some tears from me man wtf. I've watched, rewatched and wached dozens of reactions but it hits me every single time.
