Kindred is my absolute favourite concept from League! Lamb and wolf is death itself, Lamb understands feelings but cannot feel them, Wolf feels but cannot understand. If you accept death Lamb kills you “kind” and swift, if you avoid it Wolf hunts you down and make it painful
"Those who run from death, stood still in life". This line is my favourite, you always see the people who lived the fullest lives embrace death and feel like they've done enough. It's always the people who didn't do what they wanted or regretted the choices they've made in life that "run from death".
ah i see... They don't realize that, Kindred is literally the "Death" The most strongest and undefeated character in the league of legends... i mean, How can you defeat Death ? 😮💨
I knew you'd enjoy this 😊 The differences between the two halves of Death are really cool. The lamb is a death that's both expected and even welcomed; she's gentle and wise, but emotionally detached. Lamb's version is inevitable, passionless, and so, /so/ old. Wolf, on the other hand, seems much darker and more predatory, inescapable in his need to hunt. However, in a way, he's more innocent, fuelled more by emotion and reaction to those who fear - and try to flee or cheat - death. He's almost childlike, a throwback to the idea of Death as a hunter, or a grim reaper of souls. For me, I love that the pale man decided to become these twin aspects... in the end, once the last soul is finally taken, they will at least have each other.
A bit of context. Kindred is the grim reaper of runeterra. There are different Kindred like beings for every region, but they all serve the same purpose. Kindred(lamb and wolf) is most well known one though. Lamb and wolf basically show up when your close to dying and they basically hunt you. If you are peaceful and accepting, lamb gives a quick and painless passing. If someone runs or something else idiotic, wolf chases you down violently.
It really depends on the culture of where you are in Runeterra tho. In Noxus, you are a coward if you accept death from Lamb, and it's seen as honorable and strong to struggle and resist as much as you can, even if you'll get torn apart by Wolf.
@@chainsawboy2388 It's not about whether you know you can escape it or fight it. It's human instinct to want to live. It's very ironic that you say this, because most humans do try to fight off and escape death when we all know it's inevitable. Kindred is just the representation of death. So many times we as humans try to delay and run from death or try and forget our own mortality until it inches closer and closer. It's also why so many of us fear aging and companies capitalize off of this by making products to make you "younger" and delay the aging process. Some of us may fight off death longer than others, but in the end we all die. And many humans are not ready for that inalterable truth.
@@quizzlybear I feel you miss what they are trying to tell you. And you are missing the crucial context in which they call the attempt to run "idiotic". Spoiler warning. Within the lore, if you can see Kindred, one out of three scenarios are about to unfold. 1. Your time has come, and no amount of instinctual effort can outrun Wolf's chase or the grisly end that awaits you between his jaws. 2. Lamb will tell you it is not yet your time, and stabilize your connection to the living world. 3. You are seeing them by magical means or as an ill omen. Only a handful have temporarily succeeded in escaping them, and not by running. But by magical means or by temporal immortality, undead, gods, demons etc. But they will all eventually face Kindred one last time. Kindred is the manifestation of death, and will remain, return and continue their wild hunt for all eternity until no other life remains but the two of them. At which point it is said they will end each other to complete the cycle.
Kindred is the best character ever created. The wolf can feel emotions but cannot understand them, the lamb can understand them but cannot feel them. Truly unique character
I have really bad depression and the "Are you sad?" "I am" "what does it feel like?" "a long hunt with no kill" makes perfect sense to me meaning you are basically doing all this work for no reason just to suffer...sad af.
One of my favorite things about Kindred is that Lamb understands all the emotions, but doesn't feel any of them, and Wolf feels them all but doesn't understand them.
@@donmowatt not spoiling but to add context to Jhin. Jhin is a performer that seeks perfection. so many of his lines while have him keeping count or humming to himself because he is either keeping tempo, or fidgeting from nerves. In the lore he is so dedicated to his art and his "perfection" that when he was going to kill a woman right before he did it he he changed his mind. something went wrong and ruined his perfection and he just let her live and walked away. In League of Legends there is about 1 minute and 40 seconds in game that is time before the official "game" part usually starts. and only during this time will you see him in game humming to himself and fidgeting. he has stage fright. and then after that time is up, he is "performing". everything is art, performance, and perfection for Jhin. And 4 is his favorite number.
@@donmowatt Just a little context, so it makes more sense while listening to him - whenever there's an ambient music playing during the voiceline, it's inside his mind, he's talking to himself. The enemy champions don't hear his lines during those specific ones.
The line with "so they will always have a friend" makes me cry so much I don't know why. It just gets me. The lines delivered with the sad and emotional music just breaks me down
The song is On The Nature Of Daylight by Max Richter and its stupidly beautiful so im with you there. It paints sorrow so well... Apparently its also in some episode of the last of us ....great...cant wait to ball my eyes out to whatever scenes they paired it with. (No spoilers anyone)
fun fact: the lamb knows feelings and remember facts easily but cant feel them unlike the wolf who can feel but dont know them and is prone to forget,lamb is blind and the wolf is deaf- trully sharing a single body for two,the sure merciful shot or the agonizing bite of death and i love them dearly.
@@codebracker actually it is supported by wolf asking "what sound do they make?",also goes along with the lamb asking "i wonder how they see me...",they can can see and hear each other because they are the same shared existance.
"i wonder how they see me" is a question that doesnt mean blindness, she doesnt know how people graps the concept of her, and he ask how they sound, asking her what sound they make from her swift death.
I noticed you commented on lamb being cutthroat so from what I know lamb got all the wisdom but no feeling while wolf got all the feeling but no wisdom. so when wolf asked what the water was it was because he was crying but did not know what it was lamb knew what it was but could no do it herself they have a very interesting dynamic for example lamb asks what hunger feels like for wolf its just such a cool thing
One thing you should understand before watching kindred voicelines is that kindred are literally the manifestation of death in league of legends. Lamb peacefully ends life of those who except and ready for death and wolf brutally hunting down those, who runs from it.
Why before? I didnt feel like i wasnt able to appreciate these without that knowledge.. infact quite the opposite. These were sick and curiosity invites conversation. I like learning in the comments w everyone.
@@donmowatt oh, i guess i understand your policy and apologies if my comment sounds rude, but i thought that some knowledge abot characters will make their voicelines hit differently. P.S. I didn't mean that your reactions are bad, because i really love them ❤️. Hope i'll see Aurelion Sol voicelines reaction soon :)
Not at all! I like feeding my curiosity first and then if something interests me ill dig into it. Thank you so much!! I cant wait to check out aurelion sols voicelines either!!
@@minotaur_king1733 Eh I kinda like Kindred's voicelines just as much before I knew their story then what I know now. It makes you understand how the characters act. In the kindred stories it never tells you how Kindred themselves act. We just know Wolf is brutal and Lamb is peaceful. Although you should probably listen to the other champion voice lines. Although there is nothing wrong with listening to the voicelines first; There is no greater joy than having questions like "why is he so angry?" or "why do they act this way?" and then finding out and satiating your hunger for such knowledge. Now I am doing that thing where if I type for too long I start to ramble so let me end this lol.
Kindred is one of the most amazing champions in the game but there lore is also amazing as you remember what fiddlesticks said when he see Kindred "gray man" he don't see 2 beings but one and if you want to know who kindred is in the lore they are the Grim Reaper those that die from old age or sickness get Lamb's arrow for a peaceful death but those that try to run from death by killing others or is killed by battle and fears death then you will face the fangs of the Wolf, very beautiful. As for my favorite voice line from this is "Never One" "Without the Other"
in league, legendary skins have new voice lines, I know you guy just did pyke, but if you ever dip into the skin voice lines, check out PROJECT PYKE's voice lines. IMO some of the best voice work and lines in the game(maybe even better this his OG voice liens). Keep up the good work, been here for a minute !
Been a while -- and I love Kindred as a whole, both in mythology and in aesthetics -- but every time I hear them, I think... Wolf is Sony's Venom, and Lamb is LoTR Arwen. Thanks for the reaction! Looking forward to watching more. Not sure if you're still following, reacting to LoL (just stumbled on this while looking for Kindred videos) but on the off chance you are, @Necrit has some great videos (and lore) for LoL including characters. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-blnpBRCr45M.html is his video breaking down the lore of a Kindred centric video, and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZHhqwBwmRkI.html is the video itself. Favorite line/s: Never one without the other. Never one without the other. Cheers!
Basically they are the grim reaper on runaterra they are there on your final moment, the lamb represents a calm peaceful death while the wolf is a more violent cruel death
Kindred is not actually a "Man".. Or angel etc.. Kindred is basically appearance of death or grim reaper bro.. Everybody got wrong idea that Kindred is a death angel.. But he or she is not an angel or creature.. He/she is literally the appearance of death..
I saw some context in the comments so here's another: lamb understands emotions but cannot feel them and wolf can feel emotions but doesn't understand them. Lamb is blind and wolf is deaf. You can hear this in some of their voicelines. Their voicelines are my favourite. It's so deep and well thought out and it makes me feel so many things at once
Kindread is Death it self they are stronger that any of Good or Watcher. Becouse when Watcher or void born come to reality he has physical body and then he is weaker bocouse you can killed him. ;)
since I see a lot of people requesting Jhin and Evelynn. I think it's best if you have the slightest idea of what their theme is so you can undestand when they say something confusing. Jhin, is basically a passionate murdereder who sees art in killing and death Evelyn is a demon who uses lust to lure her victims
Kindred is a grim reaper.. Everyone in runeterra(league of legends world) will face them when they die even Aurelion Sol who creates celestials and planets will face Kindred when he died.
7:50 "I wanna se this..." No, you don't :D, to quote Kindred: "When you see us, it's too late" If you want to interact with it, it would be your last interaction.
You guys review as if kindred is a murderer they are not murderers they only appear when your life is about to end kindred is a grim reaper not a psychopath on a killing spree
The story Lamb telling when Wolf ask her to told him a story is their Origin !! The man in the story was the Grim Reaper of that world, his job were so lonely, so he split himself into 2 entity is Lamb (who inherit his kindness) and Wolf (who inherit his madness) !! After they're born, they continued their father's job. But now, they're not alone anymore !! "So he will always have a friend"
Wolf chases those who run from death, giving them a painful end. But those who accepts their fate dies in Lamb's arrow, dying in a painless death compared to Wolf. "How one lived, shows how one die"
Kindred is not actually a "Man".. Or angel etc.. Kindred is basically appearance of death.. Everybody got wrong idea that Kindred is a death angel.. But he or she is not an angel or creature.. He/she is literally the appearance of death..
Basically, Kindred is just one souls two side.. He/she is the Death itself... I mean literally... Everybody gets it wrong.. They are not angel of death.. He/she is the material form of death.. Because of this at last cinematics..2024 cinematics.. All characters actually didnt fight with Kindred phisically .. They were fighting death itself..They try to stay alive.. But they showed us those fights as metaphorical..
Kindred Lore: kindred is the spirit of an old man who was split in two by The Mask Mother upon his death. Wolf can feel emotions but can’t understand them while Lamb can understand but not feel. They each embody different forms of death, those who run from death will be chased by Wolf and die painfully while those who accept death will get a swift/painless death by Lamb’s arrow.
Here to shoutout the VAs again - Matt Mercer (Wolf) and Marcella Lentz-Pope (Lamb). Kindred is perhaps the coolest representation of death I've ever seen.
Fun fact about Runeterra lore: Kindred is the embodiment of death in only the Demacia/Noxus region. Every other region has their own version of death with a different look and different wooden mask. All deaths were created by The Mask Mother who places the masks on select people who died. Each death will always exist and will retain their sanity for as long as those in their region remember death. The Shadow Isles, a cursed land of living dead, has forgotten death so their death spirit was driven insane and forgets themselves.
I find them sweet in a way. Imagine one in existence that understands you so well and you will never be apart Never one without the other. Think about it Never being lonely again
I dont exactly remember but, they both have other doesnt. For example, lamb cant see but hears, wolf cant hear but sees( 8:14 ). The wolf feels emotions but doesnt understand them while lamb understands them but doesnt feel. Man I love their dynamic a so much
Lamb can understand emotion, but cannot feel them. Wolf can feel emotions, but can't understand them. Just another elaboration on how they're two halves of the same whole.
Wolf: How long will be together Lamb: forever more Wolf: never one, lamb: without the other Lamb: never one, Wolf: without the other are my favorite line because their biggest fear is to be alone again like when they where the gray man
now that u have reacted to aatrox voicelines, it would be the perfect time to react to pantheon voicelines since they are close to the opposite of his. fantastic reaction btw.
About her being wise you two are on point but there is the catch, she is really baaaad with emotions, she cant empathize, she just does not understand what feelings are. While wolf on the other hand is just pure emotions, innocent and yet chaotic.
Lamb and Wolf are two halves of a whole. Lamb is all of the wisdom and rationale of the Pale man. Wolf is all of the emotion and impulse. He feels but does not know. She knows, but does not feel.
they actually represent the bringer of death, the pale man that splis himself in half is kindred or was, now that men is lamb and wolf, lamb is the death that that calls you to go peacefully and if you stroggle not to die or try to resist it, wolf will follow, he represnt and hunts those how won t die in peace, this is what i think about them
so they are pretty much death , one of the representations of it at least , wolf comes for those who are trying to escape death while lamp takes those who accepted that its there time , its why they say " they all will know us , in time" cause every living being will eventualy know death
kindred is represent death itself in runeterra, and ionian ppl see kindred in their "spirit blossom" skins the lamb is where ppl accept death and the wolf is where ppl struggle before death
Its still highly debaable on which is the main drath whn the oale man plit him self and but there other spirits like kidred with the mast given by the mast mother but we're not sure if the mast mother gave the mast to kidred when the pale man plit him self but one things sure is that the pale man was death on the same calaber as asol, bard ect
Anytime I see anyone reacting to Kindred's voicelines and enjoying them, I always make sure to recommend Yorick (same channel you watched the Kindred voice lines for), if you enjoy the spirit of Kindred's VO, you'll enjoy the haunting implications of Yoricks. Was a great video and will be subbing to see more of them! P.S. - The indifference and whatnot is because they are opposites in representation: Kindred knows all, but doesn't have the emotions to comprehend Wolf is pure instinct and emotion, but cannot understand it
kindred is the embodiment of death it self when some meet them you got 2 choices either die a quiet and peaceful death or meet the claws and fangs of the hunt
Ok so your pitch for finding them in an RPG or MMO has me thinking how they could actually pull this off. There is a story for Kindred where they appeared to a performer of a troupe of actors that did plays on the Lamb and the Wolf (they would play the Lamb I think). This performer knew that they were basically the Grim Reaper and was freaking out about it thinking that they were going to die, but Kindred had appeared to them to say that they really liked the performance of that particular actor. They then allowed the actor to choose how they would die. They could choose Lamb's arrow and accept a quick and relatively painless death, or choose Wolf if they did not want to accept death and try to run from it. The actor chose the Lamb, thinking that they would be killed that night, but Kindred left them to allow the performer to continue with their plays. The actor, after a long time of doing the same play and teaching a generation or two about the Lamb and the Wolf, finally saw Lamb again during a play. Lamb drew their bow back and fired an arrow that struck the actor's heart (signifying the actor had a heart attack on stage). For an RPG or MMO, I can see Lamb and Wolf appearing to the player since it is already canon that they can do this without killing the person they appear to. Maybe could appear near a site of a very recent (or still active) battle. Have some plotline like the player needs to escape the battle, but as they enter the surrounding woods are met with Lamb who is overseeing Wolf joyfully hunting down the souls of the departed. You could have a dialog with Lamb, maybe throw in Wolf yelling towards the player to add to the conversation (bring a bit of humor to an otherwise serious or sad plotline). Maybe they ask you how you would want to die, or it could start a questline to travel to the Shadow Isles in order to send the souls of those isles back to Kindred (referencing the voiceline "Do others come back?" "Those who do, wish they hadn't" since a lot of the souls on the Shadow Isles do not wish to be around anymore).
great video, was waiting for this reaction and im glad u enjoyed it so much. would be nice if u react to "KINDRED - All possible interactions between them and champions" btw my favorite 3 voicelines are Aatrox, Kindred and Jhin :D
@@donmowatt cant w8 to see it, im sure u deliver soon, ur output is crazy, 1-3 videos every day lol :D To provide some background, Kindred represents the Grim Reaper or Death (Pale man), Kindred's job is to capture the doomed (if it breathes, it has to meet them,) Those who submit die a quiet quick death at the hands of the lamb, those who try to escape are hunted down and brutally torn by the wolf. Also, as some have pointed out, the lamb carries the mind and the wolf carries the heart, so the lamb understands emotions but cannot feel them, while the wolf feels emotions but cannot understand them. Some dialogues revolve around misunderstandings that arise from this split of heart and mind. (like lamb asking "what does hunger feel" "what dies it feel like beeing sad" ..cause it cant feel ... and wolf dosent know what tears are or how old they are )
3 per day and 4 on some days - since dec 27th, without fail - unsure if we're gonna continue that but we'll see. Appreciate you noticing! Kindred ...spirits? ....whatever...the character(s) are AWESOME.
