ARCANE fan reacts to Pantheon (Voicelines and Theme) 

"The stars are beyond my reach, and so I grasp my spear and take aim" is probably the best line in the entire game. Always gives me goosebumps.

pantheon is one of my favorite champions because his rework always felt like it actually happened in the lore instead of rewriting the character like almost all the other reworks seemed to do

I think many people don't realize that but in The Call Pantheon throws down his spear before fighting soldiers and only uses shield and fists because he does not intend to kill humans, soldiers like him. He only knocks them down. However, when he sees Leona he knows she holds the power of Aspect what means to him that she is a puppet to Celestials and then he starts to actually fight. Such a small detail that makes even more sense when you understand his lore

Pantheon returned to Mount Targon because he lost his powers. Reaching the peak could give him his abilities again. But instead, he found his power not at the summit, but at the base of the Mountain.

I would contest and say the Aspects themselves are rather lawful evil: they have a duty to the celestials (the beings that select mortals to be aspects) and that duty is to defeat the void to save reality. A couple hundred dead humans to save reality is a very evil thing, but they have a compulsion to serve, a lawful edict. Except Atreus, because the celestial that bound him is dead, and so Atreus no longer has that charge.

Pantheon and Aatrox are supposed to be similar, Aatrox, the corrupted void version of the celestial ascended, despises himself and everything, for he cannot die, and the void corrupting his mind makes him resent and angry for every living creature. So Aatrox seeks a foe that can kill him, but leaves carnage as he wakes. Pantheon, the aspect of war, cared not for the men women and children slaughtered in war, like aatrox, and reveled in the war. Atreus, a mortal man, with a will power stronger than the gods, was looked down on by the god of war himself, and so instead took over his body once reaching the peak, casting his consciousness into the darkness as pantheon raged war. During this war, He meets Aatrox, where he then gains his title as God killer, as he impales Pantheon on his blade. This kills the god, and brings back the man. With sheer rage, will and determination, Atreus nursed his wound back to health, and with his will, reignited the flame of power that was lost when the celestial died. Now with his rage, hatred and distain for the celestials, he seeks to kill every god, so only man may rise in the ashes of war. Where pantheon despises the gods for their disregard for the mortals they look down on, Aatrox has his rage placed in every living being, god or man, as they left him to die. From the bloodied flesh, rises aatrox, and from the twilight stars, rises man.

What is really interesting to see is the relationship of Soraka to Humanity. She gives a good insight, how celestials and Aspects think: Celestials have a "greater plan" to guide mankind. This plan is shown via stars and constellations. (Also with the help of Aspects). Soraka just couldnt keep watching, how humanity frequently "messed up" and completely ignored the celestial rule. She came down herself in the form of a wandering healer, just to guide humanity herself. After years she realized, how humanity has its own plan and doesnt need the celestials for guidance. So she just keeps healing and helping mankind, without interfering. This makes her the only Aspect (besides maybe Taric), who is actually respected by Pantheon. (LoR voicelines)

One of my takes on Pantheon as a character is that he's the embodiment of everything positive about masculinity, he's strong, humble, down to earth, hard working, not condescending, fights for what is right, stands up against what is wrong, understanding and selfless. Pantheon is imo the combination of all the positives of a traditionally masculine man.

Fun fact in Panths base barckground you can see aatroxs head looking at panth. Look over panth's shoulders to see his eyes then you will see it

was waiting for this so much, thank you. Please do Swain next.

"The blows of the gods cannot shatter the world, if they strike ME instead!" - Everytime I think nobody's got my back, I know pantheon got me 😔🙏

Aspects and celestials are pretty set in their ways... so most of them can come off as evil... or at least very shady. There are a few who don't. Soraka is a celestial who decided that humans have their own path and doesn't interfere. She's just participates in the world as a wondering healer. Funny enough... when you heal others in game... she takes damage. Her mortal body has trouble holding her celestial spirit. I kind of see path and aatrox as very similar people who took different paths. One eventually gave in to their despair... and one grasps hope at every turn.

Pantheon/Atreus best voicelines in the game. 10/10 would rate again. Amazing out of Best The old Pantheon used to be in the lore the Aspect that took Atreus' body but people absolutely loved Atreus and it was changed in the lore when Pantheon got a rework. I mean who doesn't love a hero who is the personification of perseverance. 14:00 This is 100% the movie Gladiator (2000)

Only Aurelion left for the holy Trinity of going against the douchebags called the celestials. You can see Aatrox in the background on Pantheon splash art. I recommend reading the short stories of these champions you have reacted, you only read the biographies, but the short stories are really good. Also, in that part it said Viego took control of Pantheon, kind of like how he controls Darius in ruination cinematic. So Pantheon the aspect didn't help Viego because he wanted.

I'm really glad you took a moment to appreciate Atreus, he was fun to play before he got reworked, but I truly fell in love with his character afterwords! He may have been the aspect of War, but to me he represents Hope and Brotherhood. A will to stand in spite of one's mortality, and "remember who you are."

The animation that played in the middle of the voice lines was a login screen back in the day. It was so damn cool to see that play every time you open the client, alon with the theme. I miss the login screens :'(

Great video as always! Idk if you miss this or not but on the base skin splash art, the "figure" behind pantheon is actually Aatrox's face, emphasizing how much history the two have with each other. Pantheon is one of my favourite champions out there, so thank you!

Great video as always! I really like how you take your time to search for the story of these characters, to get it right before going for the voicelines! I'm patiently waiting for the day you react to Pyke! Different from the type of champions you're reacting to for now, but he's one of my favorites and I'd love to know what you think of him. ^^ Good luck with your future content!

The dragonslayer pantheon skin is still my favourite because during his ult he "morphs" into a dragon during the channel and landing after the jump

Pantheon had possibly one of the BIGGEST GLOW UPS, as he was another champion that was "reworked". The original Pantheon was MUCH SIMPLER looking of course. Thanks for the vid!

Absolutely awesome video!! Don't ever stop being Georgiee 😃

it'd be very interesting to see your reaction to the card voice lines they give a lot of character and info on the different regions of runeterra.

I highly suggest not looking at the lore through the League Wiki and instead the Official LOL Universe page. I'm pretty sure everything on the Wiki is not written by rioters but everything on the Official League Universe page is written by Riot writers and is canon. If you want more detailed, well written and canon lore then you need to look at it through there. Also as you have maybe seen other people in the comments suggest but Necrit has a great video for people trying to get more into the lore called: Story of League of Legends Explained Also love watching your league journey :)

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! btw love your content💚💚

Pantheon and Swain maybe the greatest voicelines in the game, for totally different reasons.

You should do Yorick next . He is not that popular ,but he has some great quotes.

I always love when you do these deep dive video into specific character. Really cool hearing about your thoughts on them :D. One character I recommend you looking into is Tahm Kench, my favourite champion in term of concept, design and personality. Always excited to see who you would review next. (also, if you are planning to do Tahm Kench, please DO watch the special interaction video. it add so much to his character, plus its hilarious)

I would love if you did Taliyah’s voice lines next! I think she would be a nice champ to bring more variation to the type of champs you’ve been learning about

Pantheon is climbing to get to the aspects, u got it right, even tho the aspect have some hosts and are scattered all over the world, targon is the best conection u can have with them, also as u can see in the call, Pantheon finds the aspect of the sun, leona and fights her on mountain targon and then other aspect shoot him down, (DIana, the host of the aspect of the moon live also on Targon) In a World cought between Aspects/Gods, Watcher, Void, and super celestial Beings, Pantheon represents Human, the human soldier who is cought in all that mess

Viego controls those he resurrects, so when Pantheon came back, he was under Viego's thrall. And having an undead god is clearly not a good thing for anyone.

great video, i would recommend looking at the voice lines on skin spotlight, it's more clear to who or doing what triggers every line so it gives a little more of context to why are they saying what they say for example if it's directed at a character from a specific region or doing an action

I read in an offical publiced story: "Celestials don't care about well-being of Targon people. Assuming they have good intensions is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. They are no gods. People of Rakkor (Atreus's people) never called them gods. They can't even come to earth without help of people. They are just manupilating the mind of people they got in. Whatever their plan is can't be good." In "The Call" while Atreus was trying to climb to mountain third times to protect people, celestials attacked him. And as one of writers said, Pantheon and Aspect of Sun encountered each other 40 years ago, but that time Aspect of Sun wasn't Leona. Which means 2 different people have been Aspect of Sun in last 40 years. Normally there wouldn't be that many aspects in the earth at the same time and they wouldn't come that often to earth.

I would love to see a galaxy slayer zed or thresh reaction 😁 edit: also kayn and galaxy slayer zed has cool interactions with eachother

The Pantheon found Atreus unworthy and yet Atreus survived a blow that killed War itself.

"I will fall atleast one more time..." That line has gotten me through more things then I can count.

love your reactions, especially your thoughts about the champions. its always interesting to watch your videos. can't wait for you to see Sylas and his story. in my opinion, its one of the best because it gives you different view on the main regions, Demacia. oh, and if you do react to him, highly recommend to check out his champion trailer. not really because its important, but i think its just very epic.

"Behind me lies a farm. I wonder if there is bread above the hearth, and if I will ever return." That line fits in so well with one of the gods of my group's D&D setting. Maurn the Weary is a war god who hates war. One who bears the burden of every last dead soldier's soul as he carries them across the Bone River. One who has instructed his followers in the way of soothing the itch of phantom limbs, and calming the old veteran who awakens in the dark of night screaming for fallen friends. A god who wanders through the cherry forests and poppy fields, crying for all whose fields have gone fallow, whose boats have rotted in the docks, and whose wives must return to a cold, empty bed.

Ooh, another voice line reaction! Loved it. Wishing to see more Champs that also have interactions with others like fiddlesticks

Hope you react to Camille voicelines too! It'll be worth it. And I suggest listening for voicelines and other stuff on SkinSpotlights channel bcoz everything is complete there and have subtitles :)

Pant is the best lore characters. This rework, with all things with Darkin, Aspects and more, make him, a exceptional hero, for the Runeterra. Against Darkin, Aspects and Void. Only to protect who needs protection.

The time of MANTHEON has come!

in pantheon's slash art, there's aatrox in the background, you can see the shape and eyes

”Unbroken until my spear dulls. I will not surrender„ ❤

This man gets me hyped!!!

worth fighting for worth dying for

Thankies, Georgie-pie! Seems like the Kayne's video will be last near 1,5 hour!

Pantheon is my favorite story in the lore. I like your comparison to 300, it is a very similar one. He also reminds me of Stormlight Archive quite a lot with his convictions and depth of heart for humanity. I’m so glad you were as impressed by him as much as I am!

"it reminds me of aatrox", if you look closely, aatrox is just behind pantheon on that first picture (he's just super big there)

Hey! A bit late but at the end of the voice lines videos of that channel there are some jokes and funny lines from the champions after the dark screen

Something I haven't seen mentioned on my quick skim in the comments, is that you can actually see AAtrox in the background of Pantheons Original Splash (the last one).

There's a channel called SkinSpotlights, their videos are really good for getting context to champions lines in-game as well as learning some story beats between champions

i am not sure if you saw but in Pantheons Splash Art you see the Face of Aatrox they are enemies and have battled for a long time so it makes sense to have him in there

Aatrox Ascended to Darkin. Pantheon Aspect to Man. Both of them are release from godhood duty.

Aww, they missed his joke line. "I CALL UPON THE ANCIENTS, *retrieves bread from the sky* to make my bountiful breads!"

Oh yes, I was hoping you would do Pantheon soon. Such amazing quotes, I personally love the "After every defeat, I ran around the mountain until even shame could not keep up". League is an old game, and holds a lot of lore, especially lately they are invested into making more of it and fitting it all together. Compared to the teams that make the game, the art/lore design teams are godlike.

REACCIONASTEA ABSOLUTAMNTE TODO, lore lass lineas de voces. Te has ganado tu like

When I used to work in the warehouse and I needed motivation I popped in his quotes and got to work. "When I fall, I ran around the mountain till not even shame could keep up with me" "I am no more than a soldier and no less".

pantheon is the aspect of war, atroxx is a corrupted ascended that was bondd to a weapon

All of Pantheon's lore when you read the stories directly are so fucking good. Pantheon's evolution in his lore is sad, inspiring, and cool.

"You will not fail if it is worth it" is my favourite one

JustAnotherNobody have the best Quotes videos of League champs i've ever seen

You should definitely see champion interactions with other champions. The way Pantheon interacts with other champions is awesome

you can see Aaatrox behind Pantheon in Pantheon's splashart

its cool that you can see Aatrox's head on the background.

Pantheons voice lines in a sense do come from a place of despair, but not in humanity. He has witnessed first hand what his gods are really like, uncaring, about those that worship them, and uninterested, in their troubles. Despite seeing that his gods are real he has lost faith in them, faith that they will protect and guide his people. This is why he is so dejected. Instead of placing his faith in the gods he places it in the hands of humans, in himself. Instead of praying to the heavens, to gods he knows won't care enough to help, he takes action. This is what makes him one of the best characters in the game, morally, and lore wise. I would also like to clarify a quote that will probably be taken out of context otherwise. He says "If they kill me, at least I die a man." he does not mean this in a manly sort of bravado sense. He means it in the sense of free will. If he died as the host of Pantheon, then he would not have died of his own will. Now, as a free man, if he dies, he won't die as an Aspect, because of someone else's wishes, he will die as a man, someone who took the conscious choice to stand up for something knowing full well that it could cost him his life. It's also worth noting that Aspects and Celestials are two separate things. They are lower tier stellar beings that cannot manifest their own physical from, so they must use hosts. Alternatively the Celestials can directly effect the universe either by changing the stars themselves (Aurelion Sol) or by manifesting their own physical forms (Bard, Soraka). However it does seem that in lowering herself to the mortal world, Soraka has lost some level of her power. Ultimately Aurelion and Bard are by far the two most powerful beings in the lore, however at current A Sol is bound to the Aspect after they tricked him, so he lost a certain level of his free will.

There is a fiddlesticks theme youtube video, too. How they created him, the ideas itd. His music and song. I would love to see you react to it.

Since you mentioned wanting to see the skins in the game I recommend looking at the Wild Rift skins they are probably the most detailed.

It was the aspect of war that first subjugated aurelion sol so your theory of the comet is quite possible.

To loosely quote someone else: "Pantheon has immense pride but douses it in humility." He holds himself in very high regard but not because he believes he is greater but because he has to in order to keep fighting for everyone else. This fucking guy. This fucking MAN right here is a great example of well written masculinity that doesn't feel forced or shoehorned in to prove a point.

Probably a stretch, but I love how themes tell a story, in the beginning the war chants represent the man climbing Mount tragón, the second part with instruments represent the aspect, the dark part of the theme represents the struggle with the darkin, and the finale is the man being free with the power of a god.

Also, if you want some Game of Thrones vibes, you can look up Swain. He also has some nice voice lines.

"This reminds me of Leonidas leading his 300 Spartans". The Rankor Tribe previously being called the Stanpar before the Targonian reboot: Shh don't tell her. Lmao

Thought i would point out, did you know that in Pantheon's splash art you see Attrox's face as the background

in his splash art you can see Aatrox's head behind Pantheon

Can't wait for you to react to Aurelion Sol, his story is really interesting and his lines are hilarious ^^

Nothing better as Pantheon quotes + login theme to go to the gym

the old pantheon was made as a spatan soldier and was quoting the movie

For those who haven't noticed, in Pantheons splashart, there is Aatrox's face in the background

i dont know if you noticed, but the background of Pantheons splash art is actually Aatrox' face

thank you for this reaction. Amongs the aspects, you should try Taric next, he resonnates better with character that got abused by the aspects such as Pantheon and Aurelion ol

Dude needs a hug XD

Nice reaction video, I would recommend reacting to Mordekaiser as I personally like him fun fact: you can see Aatrox's head behind Pantheon in his basic skin Splashart

Pantheon has the best lines in all LoL. Fight me

You should also check out Aurelion sol's lore It's my favorite theme and story it's amazing

darius/god king darius's reaction would be awesome next super cool character especially that skin's lines it even has a trailer

BRAUM IS HERE! Try beating that voice line , it sparks the small happiness us league players have left in our lifes

Describe pantheon as short as possible: another motivated man

For those who didn't notice, Aatrox's face appears in the background of pantheon's art, looming over him.

After reading pantheon's lore he might just be my new favourite champion besides yone. I like what yone stands for aswell.

You don't have heard all of his voicelines tho

AHHHH EXCITING

You should check out unique voice lines for pantheon. There are some really good ones.

Before the rework, Pantheon was just a 300’s reference. Now he’s a proper character.

If you look closely you can see aatrox eye behind on pantheon

Welcome to Pantheon, the biggest gigachad in League and maybe any game. The man who, upon waking up impaled, *spat at the creature impaling him,* reignited a dead constellation *TWICE* and fights for mankind.

I dunno if you pointed this out in the video. But on pantheon’s splash art, Aatrox is behind him.

I would recommend you react to the story of aurelion sol and he's voicelines. You would like it :)

after watching the pantheon voice lines, I grew a beared

13:50 actually reminds me of Gladiator, when Maximus has the flashbacks of the wheat fields and his slaughtered wife and son, maybe it's just me P.S.: You skipped in the lines video the final part which is the most funny...

you can see aatrox in the background of pantheons splash art
