If you’d like to hear our plans for future League content, we go through that in the first few minutes of the video. If you are just here for the reaction, skip to 3:45 😊
watch fiddlesticks concept video to see him for what he is +there some skins for him and his musical theme. (totaly won't give you nightmares hehehehehe xd) (he is a demon in a scarecrow)
I hope this is not spoilers of the next season (it's about the crows). . . . . . There's a general in Noxus called Swain, who can control Crows. I have a hint that he will appear in next arcane season. The crow might be he watching ppl and somehow controlling events. Also I remember Jinx shoot a Crow in season 1.
Fun fact: The first words Ekko ever said in Arcane when he was introduced in the series was "Give me a few seconds" which idk, seems interesting to me😅
Fiddlesticks isn't a spider thing😂, he is a demon that is attracted to the biggest fears of the people in Runeterra. He even has interactions with Jinx in the game telling her "All your fault, all your fault!".
Yeah so fiddlesticks can't 'speak' as such, it's a bit like a parrot in that it learns from the sounds it's victims make. So a lot of his 'voice lines' in game are his victims last words, like "it's in the house!" Or "where are you? I can't see you". Also to note, its not trapped in the scarecrow, it's theorised that it has multiple vessels throughout runeterra
@@Fatmanralphy One of my favorite lines Fiddlesticks uses is a terrified sounding "You're not real! You're not real!!"You can just imagine how that ended.
The last memories of Warwick is, " I remember the taste of blood, the smell of poison and a little girl crying screaming a name " This is the scene when Vandor dying when Powder cry the Violet name.... Warwick is a beast now, Vandor doesnt exist anymore
Also when vander turns hulk mode after taking shimmer he makes the same sounds as warick does in game. He also has the ambient noise slightly in the background as he is moving. in the last episode or one before there is a part where it shows singed the doctor sitting in his lab and it pans above to reveal a green furry beast with claws exactly like warick, it only appeared for a couple seconds but i missed it the first time i watched it! In the arcane season 2 announcement there is waricks howl at the end! They really are hinting so hard
About Seconds: That's the same mural from episode 7, but in a different stage of imagination. Powder is on the mural (as she was in arcane), as are a lof of unrecognizable people. We, league players, didn't really get a confirmation it was indeed Powder/Jinx on the mural until Arcane.
Also, the one on the mural with the goggles is the "Sumpsnipe Scavenger" card in Legends of Runeterra (the card game set in Runeterra). It's one of Ekko's friends who passed away, I believe his name is/was 'Ajuna'
Yes..Warwick is made by Dr. Singed ..in Warwick lore he was a former man who surrender his weapon and dream to live a peaceful life..and all he just remember when he died and turned into a werewolf is a blood and a girl screaming a name which fits perfectly to episode 3 when Vander died and powder is screaming VI's name
@@CarlieAndAnge Warwick's lore is more than this. Warwick was a man who was experimented on by Dr. Singed. Slowly turning into more beast than man. After while, he broke free and roam Zuan, killing bandits. As for the lore of the scream, he recognizes a girl, which he has no memory of, and follows her. She became trapped by bandits, and he jumped in to rescue her. Once he drew blood on one of the bandits, he went into a blood frenzy, not remembering if he saved or killed the girl he was trying to protect.
@@SuperChrisPang yeah his orginal lore was Singed was actually his apprentice and singed basically duped him into obtaining all of these things to get stronger but they made him turn more and more into a beast. Soraka's heart or horn can't remember which one was supposed to be the cure but obv he never got it. Then they changed his lore to what it is now.
If you remember at the first episode of Arcane it was hinted by the guy at the bar that Vander's title was "The Hound of the Underground" while Warwick's title is "The uncaged wrath of Zaun"
@@CarlieAndAnge They also play Warwick's hunt music (which plays in game when Warwick is following the scent of blood to hunt down enemies) in Episode 3 when Vander is taken by Silco. It's faster than the game one and has a lot of background noise, but slowed down the main beats match up, and the end of the Season 2 announcement trailer just straight up plays the unedited Warwick music.
Yes it's confirmed in League that Singed created Warwick, but nobody know who was Warwick before, that is what we are waiting to see in Arcane, if they are going to confirm that Warwick is or not Vander, because everything in League is very vague that is why we need cinematics and other stuff to learn deeply about the lore.
Yes, but just like Jinx and Vi connection and them being sisters was for a very long time just a theory and kept being denied canon by people that work on Riot Games, we can't yet confirm it
Fiddlesticks is a demon who torture his victim by mimicking the voice of someone close to them his quote against jinx is ‘’all your fault all your fault” after arcane this line hit hard.
@@CarlieAndAnge For a little more in depth explanation, Fiddlesticks isn't the scarecrow, he is a demon that possesses the scarecrow. His whole thing is that he knows what people fear most (kind of like IT, but he doesn't shapeshift) and there are videos covering all his unique interactions with other champs and their fears. In the whole world of Runeterra there are only 4 demons that really mean anything to the lore. Only one other has a cinematic, and that's Tahm Kench. Nocturne and Evelynn are the other 2 demons, and nocturne only shows up in the "A Twist of Fate" cinematic. Evelynn has the "Villain" music video, so I guess there's that. A couple kinda demon related things you should check out is the "The Path, An Ionian Myth" and "Kin of the Stained Blade". There are demon parts of those cinematics but the main focus is the relationship between the brothers Yasuo and Yone. Pretty much the only information outside of the videos you might need is that Yone believes Yasuo killed their tribe's master, the evidence only points to yasuo, he runs, and Yone and a few others are sent after him to kill him. I'd watch the "Kin" video first, as "The Path" video kinda spoils what happens, and really just answers the "Then how is he _____" questions you'll get from "Kin".
@@No0ne._. There's also the demon that Swain (a very influential leader of Noxus) has a deal with. Raum, demon of secrets. It's cool that each demon so far represents a certain characteristic. Evelynn being agony, Tahm Kench is addiction, Feedlesticks is fear and Nocturne is nightmares. And its very cool to see how each character design brings all that to life. Swain is another pretty cool character that brought a lot of lore when he was reworked, maybe we see him a bit in Arcane since he is essentially one of the 4 most powerful people in Noxus.
@@o_ferro Yeah Raum exists but he's on the same level as the demon Yone has. Like, they exist, but come very secondary to the champion. Whereas the others, it is them. I would honestly love to get a few more demons that flush out the 7 deadly sins. That'd be great, Eve got lust, Tahm got gluttony. If Tryn had won the VGU they could've made him more of a demon and have him as wrath. Which is where the problem of doing that starts though, cause other non demon champs already got the other sins. GP has greed, Draven has pride. They don't really have anything that comes to mind for Sloth and Envy.
Fiddlesticks is pretty much fear personified. He's a daemon that inhabits a scarecrow body to stalk/kill his victims. He also has the ability to pull the most traumatic/fearful memory from your mind and torment you with it. He has some lines in the game that hint at jinx/vi's fear.
Fiddlesticks was created or "born" before the universe of runeterra was created he said that he is first of 10, and the lore is that he can lure by using the voice in peoples memory, most scary is that he can use NUNU's(nunu and willump) mother lines when he was little. while in Arcane connections fiddlesticks it uses what VI said when it encounter jinx where he said JINX, ALL YOUR FAULT, ALL YOUR FAULT.
Ekko was released with a comic. The memorial on the wall is for his friend, Ajuna. The comic is about Ekko who keeps rewinding time to save his friend from death, but he is late every time and couldn't save him at the end however many times he tried. Also Ekko retains the damage he takes even if he rewinds time, so that is one downside to his power. And the fact he reversed time to restore the memorial, means he has to fight that goon again. All for his friend.
hints that Vander is warwick : Singed created him in the game (we just didn't know it was Vander) Warwick has interactions with both Vi and Jinx in the game, for example he says to Vi "Zaun needed you" and "I saw you cry" or something like that Vander's mutated form after taking shimmer is a big dude with enormous claws Vander's nickname is litterally "the hound of the underground" we see warwick hanged in Singed lab both in Episode 8 and 9
What really sold it to me was Vander's snarls and growls after he took the shimmer. They sounded so much like Warwick. Also Vander yelling "Silco!" at that time sounded a lot like Warwick's voice.
You can see Warwick's arm in Singed's (the doctor who made Shimmer) laboratory when Singed was looking at his locket that had a picture of a girl in it. It was the last episode of Arcane when Jinx was shooting the rocket at the council.
Warwick, for what I've heard is a failed experiment of Singed that only kills people with blood on their hands meaning killers or murderers of Zaun and if you listen to Warwick's interactions in game. I believe theirs a video for that in RU-vid, he has a special interactions with Vi and Jinx that really makes sense in Arcane that basically started the theories
Yeah we’re excited for this character in season 2! However, it now concerns us that he kills people with blood on their hands because Vi almost ALWAYS has bloood on her knuckles….
@@CarlieAndAnge Warwick was mindless at first, but started targeting bad people when he got a grasp of what he could be doing, so he us like a berserk, barely conscious anti hero. The pump on his back injects chemicals into his blood stream making him more angry, faster and have more bloodlust, the pump is always working, but it pumps more when he smells blood hence he was able to make a big jump and git more rabid when he smelled blood in the cinematic. he roams the lowest parts of zaun because singed dispossed of him when he died (he died because like in arcane, your nature doesn't like change), but when he died, his body stopped fighting the transformation, since you know, nature doesn't really matter to a corpse, and he completed the process, shortly after that he came back to life and started his hunt.
I would recommend watching the "Runes of Power" video. Its gives a better understanding about what Heimerdinger was talking about when he said that magic was dangerous.
@@CarlieAndAnge To add to Gaurav’s suggestion, ‘The Path, an Ionian Myth’ can be watched just before ‘Kin of the Stained Blade’ as it shows an extra story to one of the characters in the latter video. Thanks for these videos, I enjoy them a lot :)
You guys liked kin of stained blade? For me it's kinda cringe to be honest. It's a bit longer than the other but I don't get hyped watching it as much as the others.
The demons in Runeterra are all incarnations of specific emotions. Fiddlesticks is the demon of fear. Edit: The fluffy little creatures with Braum in this cinematic, and Heimerdinger in Arcane, are called poros. And there's a lot of them in Runeterra. In the cardgame each of the ten regions have their own poro.
As stated by the developers Fiddlesticks is decisively different to the other 'demons' we've seen so far in league. Far more primal, far older, far far far more powerful
One of ekkos old lore stories is that there was a friend he couldn't save regardless of how many times he went back in time. That's probably the friend on the mural
Fun fact: the "sword" that Ekko uses in the cinematic and in game is actually supposed to be the arm of the main clocktower of Zaun. How he got a hold of it I'm not quite sure, but we might find out in season 2
probably not, the issue is that arcane and league are 2 cinematics that aren't the same, what might be canon in 1 universe isn't in the other the best example is jayce who is literally a different char going from egoistic and "to smart for his own good" to a more naiv helpful character
Ekko's "ultimate" ability in League of Legends is that he can jump back several seconds in time; he has a ghostly image that follows him around, and when he activates the ability, he jumps back to the location and state of that ghost. It's a powerful ability, but it has a "cooldown" so that you can only use it every so often.
@@CarlieAndAnge If you do, here's something to keep in mind: The singer in the Sad Mummy cinematic is Christian Linke, whose name you might remember from the Arcane intro as he's one of the creators of the show
Fiddlesticks' body is made up of whatever's lying around, he frequently swaps pieces of his body and can't be killed by ordinary means. He also repeats the words of his victims.
Fiddlesticks is a demon/god of fear. He's actually just the little ball inside the cage, but he controls that entire pile of sticks/hay. According to all champion lore he would be in the top 5 strongest characters.
Probably higher than that if he manage to devour other demons and regain back his true form And he's currently in top 5 of the biggest threat in Runenterra.
Well, we don't really know how strong Fiddle is, or even if he has a "true form". As far as we're concerned, he's the ball and most likely not in the top 10 strongest champions
Hey Marco, we’d rather not react to another youtubers video just because we feel uncomfortable using someone else’s channel as content for our own. We will definitely check it out in our own time tho! Thanks for the recommendation 😊
About the Warwick thing turning red: it turns red if he smells blood. In game if an enemy is low on health he goes in some sort of hunting mode and can track the low enemy trough a trail of scented blood. The same sound you heard in the background of the clip when he smelled blood is the same sound you hear ingame when someone is low on health.
Warwick is theorized to be Vander because he has ingame interactions with jinx and Vi, constantly refering to core aspects that link them to Vander and the happenings in Arcane (he asks Vi "who tole you how to punch?" and mentions to jinx "you were there..." Meaning the explosion at the docks) Also, warwicks creation lore is linking to arcane/vander in a very explicit way. The lore says he was created by someone through experimentation and that the core catalyst for who ever he was before to transform into warwick is a lethal dose of pain or dying (vander "died" in episode 3 through those means). We also never see what happens to his body, but it would be logic, als silco found him with powder, that he took him, and later gave it to singed who, oh how handy does it come, is a scientist wo does unethical experiments, had hands on vander before him dying, and has a Wolf-thing hanging from his roof in the last shots of episode 9
@@TheWebberLegacy yeah Evelyn feeds off pain and discovered the easiest way to get it is by being sexy and then killing her victims, nocturne feeds off nightmares, fiddlesticks feeds off fear and tahm kench I think desire?
Fiddlesticks is a scarecrow-demon. He takes your biggest fear and uses it against you. He has a voiceline interaction with Jinx, where he yells out to her: "Jinx! ALL YOUR FAULT! ALL YOUR FAULT"
The Zdrive is the device on Ekko's lower back allowing him to go back in time only few seconds far, he's not invented it yet in arcane ,it's possible that after some mentoring from Heimerdinger Ekko is going to create the Zdrive , however it was hinted in his fight against Jinx that he'd be able to rewind time. Warwick's transformation is permanent he can't go back to vander, nor remember much of his past. The chemicals on his back are meant to heal him and boost his physical abilities, Warwick got his arm severed during the experiment which Singed managed to reattach and augment with chemical through an incredibly agonizing process. The memorial in Ekko's teaser is likely an old version of the updated one we see in Arcane.
All good comments, but you inadvertently pointed out one of the continuity issues between Seconds and Arcane. If the Z-Drive comes *after* the events of Arcane, then so does that version of the mural. But tbh I don't worry about it too much because they weren't made at the same time and inconsistencies are kind of inevitable. Riot considers Arcane a separate canon, and imo it's the main one now (due to popularity) so moving forward if it doesn't exactly match up with other previous lore, I'mma go with whatever is in the show.
Fiddlesticks is amazing and actually terrifying. When his redesign came out, we got Terror in Demacia which you just saw, and his champion theme video which shows concept art and all the redesigned skins and a very good creepy song for his theme. Worth looking at I'd say. And if you want a real treat, his voicelines and interactions in game are amazing to listen to. Fiddlesticks speaks using the voices of his victims to try to scare his targets, and the voice actor did an amazing job. Not a huge priority but watching his theme video and as much of his voicelines video as you find interesting should be fun.
@@CarlieAndAnge fiddlesticks voiced [subbed] is all the voicelines then, but with less context. Fiddlesticks & Surprise Party special interactions doesn't have all the lines and includes some lines from his skin that has different voice lines, but it shows the in game models so you can see who he is talking to. Probably better to do the second if you want to react to it.
A teory is fiddelstick have a human arm the community say is a arm of swain a head of the new noxus probably when mel's mother say: your brother cross with the wrong man, could be swain or darius. (and swain lost and arm in a pact). And swain and crows has a conection, same has fiddelstick. Another awsome thing are the keys fiddelstick have keys...
Thanks so much guys for falling in love with League of Legends as much as Arcane to "school" us in both. Having never heard of LoL, I watched Arcane on Netflix and after the season finale wanting to go back and learn more, the Legends, their back stories, and the game. So I am so glad that you are doing this -- I wouldn't know where to begin if I were to do it alone. And special thanks to your supporters and members for their comments in leading us along this journey. I can't think of a better way to spend the time until Season 2 of Arcane.
Seconds was made way before arcane so the mural looks a little different than the series. I think that was really jinx, and Vi is missing cause they only revealed that the two are sisters not so long ago. PS. Fiddlesticks is a scarecrow
No Ekko is not op in the game, he only returns to whenever he was a few seconds ago, and heals for a percentage of the damage received in that duration.
If you really would like an anime style, longer type animation, I highly recommend Kin of the stained blade. It's the best animation they've produced in my opinion.
I see a lot of coments saying that Vander isn't Warwick... well, sorry but HE IS WARWICK. - Warwick have a lot of interactions with Vi and Jinx in the game, doing references to Arcane btw. Like "I remember you, you was there", "Who taught you to hit", "I've see that fear in your eyes before", etc. - The splashart of Singed on Legends of Runaterra, shows him and behind of him there's Vander in his process of chimeritation. - Also in the last chapter of Arcane, Singed is showed looking a clock of hand, the girl in the photo is Orianna, his daugther and a champion too. - In Warwick's biography, it is told how he still has memories of the fateful day when Jinx blew up the factory, remembering "a girl crying" and also someone yelling the name "Violet". I mean, there's the facts and probably some more. Sorry for my english, its no my native language. Oh, also Fiddlesticks torments Jinx saying "Jinx, it's all your fault, it's all your fault!"
“How Arcane masters tradgedy, trauma, and tone” by Savage Books is one of the best videos breaking down the show and characters to where you understand each and every persons motivations. The duality of it all. You guys don’t have to watch but I just love it so much I have to keep asking 😭
The "spider thing" in Terror in Demacia is Fiddlesticks. Fiddlesticks is a primordial fear demon that has existed since the first breath of creation, but unlike other demons such as Tahm Kench or Evelynn, Fiddle isn't quite as sentient. He can't actually talk so he parrots the last words of people as he killed them (the shrieking "HELP ME!") to invoke fear in his prey, and he isn't actually the scarecrow, it's just a construct he made from scrap parts. If you look at his artwork you'll see a cage in the scarecrow's torso containing a black ooze with red eyes, that's Fiddlesticks itself, and as it moves it will extend tendrils to use as limbs for various uses. In lore over time Fiddlesticks has been inactive so it's become kinda a nursery rhyme like the boogeyman but with the magic revolution in Demacia and a couple other demons in the area tensions are high and fear is growing, making it the perfect hunting grounds. We've got a few teasers about extensions to demons in Runeterra like a chart with the demon hierarchy, Yone (an undead demon possessed demon hunter samurai), the reveal that the demon Swain (leader of Noxus) outsmarted is a demon of secrets named Raum, and a couple other bits.
I see a bunch of comments on this topic, but Im still going to join the train. When two merchants talk to Vander in ep1 the lady calls him 'Hound of the underground'. When Silco talks to Vander he calls him a 'Lapdog', and then proceeds to say 'I'll show you what you rly are' and in that moment Warwick theme starts playing. Also, when Vander drinks shimmer he becomes the size that matches Warwick size, and he becomes hunched over, just like Warwick. And lastly the point of Rio in Arcane was to show that Singed is capable of preserving life and ensuring that "mutation must survive" and we see still half human Warwick hanging from the celling in his lab in the finale montage in Arcane. And here is one more side note; Warwick has a prostetic right hand. And if you remember Vander had an injured right arm cause Silco cut him there long ago. So it makes sense that Singed would cut off Vanders hurt hand and replaced it with mechanical one.
A small preamble if you decide to watch Warriors/Rise/Phoenix, They're not lore related, they were made for the League of Legends world championships and tend to feature real people, some of the best League of legends players ever. As a huge esports fan myself I'd love to see your reactions and hear your thoughts, but keep in mind they're quite different to what you've been watching lately.
Someone's probably already said this but just a couple quick things on Warwick and Fiddle: Fiddlesticks is a scarecrow demon, hence the crows and T-posing. He mimics voices to lure people to him, and he kinda looked like a spider thing just because of how fast his limbs were moving in the trailer. The reason why Warwick went red is because he smelled blood, he goes into a fury whenever he smells it. He definitely can't change into a human, and Singed did create him.
A lot of people are saying watch champion voice lines, however if you do that you will spoil yourself Viktor. And since he isnt in any videos and is a big spoiler for Arcane spoiling that just doesnt seem worth it to me. Also yes, watch Necrit but try to stay away from stories of Viktor, Jayce, Caitlyin and Vi because Arcane is proboably going to use these stories in tiny bit of a different form but main plot points and twists will likely stay the same. So not worth spoiling because Arcane is just faaaaar better way to experience these stories for the first time than to read some text in 20 min and learning it that way. And yes, I read the Lore and known Runterra long before Arcane, so I speak from experience, however, I'ts ultimately your decision, and Im going to be here for a ride one way or the other :)
react to the worlds 2021 show open of league of legends. it's 100% Arcane related and it's awesome , they mix irl with the 3D scenario of both Piltover and Zaun . you will love it
Warwick (wander) does not remember anything from his past life, only thing he remembers is little girl screaming someone's name, that is powder screaming "vi", this is the information from warwick bio...
Braum is a popular character in lorewise because of his wholesomeness, but it’s also the reason why he’s not popular in game. In game, he’s a support that jumps infront of his team and protects them with his shield. In league, nobody likes playing as a team in this team game because most players are under the impression that everyone is bad except themselves, so they aren’t willing to dedicate themselves to protecting the team.
Yeah it is almost certain that Vander is Warwick, we knew it from the start but Riot has not confirmed it officialy yet, although it is really obvious.
About Warwick being Vander: On the final ep, while Jinx is doing her thing with the cannon, they show us several scenes with the other characters. On Singed's scene (the doctor who developed Shimmer), it looks like a different POV of a picture in "Engineering the Nightmare", a story that show his work on Warwick.
so Fiddlestick is feared by every creature in the world of runeterra, in each region he is known by a different name and it is said that when the first cry of fear was born he did too so it is older than the world itself (being the demon of fear, the first and oldest) I would recommend that you check out the character voice lines as they have interesting stuff (ekko and warwick have interactions with Vi and Jinx) and Fiddlestick has only one interaction with jinx but the rest of his lines with other characters are very interesting for some lore Also, Fiddlestick's voice actor is just spectacular, I don't think they could give him a better voice than the one he has and that's so scary I'm sorry I have to use a translator for this but I'm from Argentina and although I'm good at understanding English, I'm not so good at writing it Saludos desde Argentina! ^^
Warwick is his own person, no one is controlling him and he is pretty strong. In league, he sometimes utters a few things when he interacts with arcane champions that imply he is in fact Vander and his mind is still there somewhere. I love playing warwick, he is so fun to play.
The theories about WW come mostly from his lore, but also from the music played in episode 3 when Vander and Silco were talking (very similar to the music you hear here in ww video) , also if you listen at the teaser for season 2 at the end, you will hear that same music and WW voice at the end of it.
Great reaction guys!! The boy on Ekko's mural is his friend Ajuna. There is a comic called "CHRONOBREAK" where Ajuna was killed and Ekko tries to save him for hours by rewinding time. Unfortunately he couldn't save him and that is why he painted him in the mural. You should also watch the "Welcome aboard" - Odyssey cinematic and the one for Star Guardians. They are trailers for alternative universes with the league characters. Both have Jinx!!!
Actually that Warwick is the father of Jinx and Vi u can see him in the last episode when Singed take his body after his death and made him a monster we may see it in the next season
Fiddlesticks is one of many demons in Runeterra. In League of Legends as champions, we can find Fiddlesticks itself (fed by fear), Evelyn (fed by agony), Tam Kench (fed by ambition), Raum (a demon possessed by Swain), and Nocturne (fed by nightmares). But what makes Fiddlesticks special is that he is a Primordial Demon, making him one of the most powerful ones.
Yeah, we're definitely getting Warwick in season 2. Besides the obvious stuff like Vander fitting as what he was before the transformation and the hairy body hanging in Singed's lab in episode 9, the teaser for season 2 ends with Warwick's howl and music. The same musical cue plays when Silco tells Vander "I'll show you what you really are"! Was really exciting experiencing all that as someone who loves League lore.
Well the crow thing is because fiddlesticks has a crow motif, hrs also an ancient demon that has small little references everywhere in the world of runeterra.
WOOOO WARWICK REACTION!!! LETS GOOOOO You guys should also react to champion voice lines… especially the voice lines of the champs from piltover and Zaun…. It’s very mysterious but also might explain things in relation to Arcane… Not to mention there are just awesome voice lines in general (especially fiddlesticks) 😁 Alsooooo…. You should just react to Necrit’s lore vids or read them out yourselves… it would be fun to see what you guys think about it
Not sure if you have seen it yet but in the announcement for Arcane season 2, you can hear Warwicks theme at the end of the video, same one here as 9:01 . Gives me chills every time. Also fun fact: In game LoL, on the map Howling abyss you can feed these Poro's, Poro snacks and they get bigger until they explode into more Poros lol (doesn't affect gameplay). If you play as Braum and feed one, it will have a moustache :)
Answers to some of your questions in video order. Ekko: If you notice Ekko still maintained the damage from each blow before he'd rewind time. So not a end all be all abilities. The big guy he fights is a throw-away Chem-Baron enforcer to my knowledge. Warwick: Another hint that I didn't see many people comment below is that Warwick's lore stated he was a great man who "put down his sword" or gauntlets in Vander's case. To answer your question on the device it apparently drives a metal spike into Warwick's back to force his blood rage & does so automatically when he smells blood I believe. Fiddlesticks: After his rework it is revealed in lore that "IT" is one of the first 12 Demons born on Runeterra. Making Fiddlesticks the oldest & most powerful Demon in-game, as all other Demons I'll name below are lesser demons. Demons: Nocturne (Invades dreams, turns them to nightmares) Evelyn (in KDA, girl with nails. She seduces people especially men who happily married, then tortures & kills them.) Tahm Ketch (he has his own cinematic, basically a deal slinging demon of Gluttony & Avarice.) Rahm (Noxus Co-Leader Swain's Crow). Please react to his Theme & Voice Lines (with or without Necrit's explanation on them).
To add on about Warwic = Vander When Silco's men is dragging Vander to the chair to be tied down, you can hear WW's theme playing in the background. When Warwick's rework was first announced back in 2015ish, Riot released the artwork of Singed in his lab with a man hooked to tubes & machines that looks exactly like how Arcane ep9 showed. Arcane Season 2 teaser is out and it ends with Warwick howl and his theme playing so I'm pretty sure Warwick will appear.
Also another phenomenal stand alone cinematic about another deamon roaming Runterra is called 'Tham Kench the river king' it doesnt rly fit in any story line so you can watch ot whenever
Vander is Warwick spoiler alert It says on Warwick lore when he was unconscious he heard a girl screaming a name which is powder screaming vi name in ep3 Also Warwick has some interaction with jinx and vi in game Warwick interaction with vi: who thought you how to punch 👊 Warwick interaction with jinx: u were there Sorry bad English
Just my opinion but 3 videos per reaction seems like a good number, not too little for the viewers and not to overwhelming for you guys. offtopic: kinda miss the blue hair lol edit: ange is technically correct, vander is gone, the wolf is just a reanimated corpse fueled by chemtech prowling the streets of zaun. also, J.B. blanc is the new voice of braum, the original voice actor passed away, so some of the braum voices might sound a little different.
Fiddlesticks is one of the scariest and most powerful beings in the story. Hes the ur-demon of fear. Hes ancient as fck, since he was born together with the universe itself, and he scares even the personification of death (which is called "Kindred"). In the cinematic, hes freshly awoken, after slumbering for untold ages, which is why hes still weak and attacking simple soldiers, so he can feed on their fear to grow powerful again.
Fun fact. When riot games or Netflix or whichever account they used to post that season 2 was already in production back in November on Twitter. They posted it with about a 30-second teaser trailer. You hear a few of the characters voices talking but then you hear that sound that you hear when Warwick goes on the hunt in the game. If you ever needed any further proof besides the fact that he was literally hanging from the ceiling with his claw in the last 30 seconds of the final episode. Yep there's more confirmation for you 👌
A Lot of the league trailers are super old and have nothing to do with anything but the characters in game abilities. Over the past few years they have redone a bunch of the characters backstories which seems like maybe they are finding a better way to tie some things in together - Warwick was one of them. I would recommend watching the cinematic trailers first over champion trailers unless you guys wanna play the game (you should try it lol!) can’t wait for more though, I love that Arcane is bringing new league fans. You guys are awesome
Thanks so much! There are so many videos its easy to get confused 😅 we’ll sort of just try to get through most of them so we learn as much as possible!
If you go back to the final moment of episode 9 of arcane you can see Singed working on Vander's body as he's in the middle of the process of turning him into Warwick
When Ekko yells for Vi and Cait to go on the bridge, you can hear this theme but it's more subtle and soft. Such a nice touch for a callback from years ago, like Jinx's song in her lair. His Z-Drive allows him to revert time back about 7 seconds and also stop time around him. Rewatching, the blue haired person is def Powder, but the kid with the goggles is his friend who I can't remember, but he's a card in Runeterra. I guess to tack onto that, in ep 3 when Silco says, "I'll show you what you really are.." you can hear that bassy trumpet/drum noise when Warwick smells the blood in this. Also it's at the end of the Arcane S2 teaser. It's the noise you hear in game when you're low health and he has your scent. Fiddlestick is one of the few demons you can play, and his whole schtick is mimicking people and things he's killed to lure others. He places fake versions of himself around the map that act like him for a second upon seeing him to scare the fuck out of you in the fog of war. Yes, that is the same creature as Heimer's pet. A poro.
Fun Fact: Fiddle stick was actually the tiny demon inside of the scarecrow and not the actual scarecrow...he only uses the scarecrow as his vessel. If you look at to Fiddle stick's splash art you can actually see the demon inside of the scarecrow.
From Warwick's Bio: "Though many think of Warwick as no more than a beast, buried beneath the fury lies the mind of a man-a gangster who put down his blade and took up a new name to live a better life. But no matter how hard he tried to move on, he could never escape the sins of his past. Memories of that time come to Warwick in flashes before they’re inevitably lost, replaced by searing echoes of the days he spent strapped to a table in Singed’s lab, the mad chemist’s face looming above him."
Oke so loredump? You already seem to understand Ekko and anything I can add would spoil S2 of Arcane (probably) One thing you asked about the thug he was fighting. It looks to be a follower of Urgot (I believe he's going to be in Season 2 of Arcane and don't wanna spoil... But one of my main champs to play) The WW and Fiddles videos were made to tease the champions when they were reworked. (basically in the games every once in a while champions get modernized a bit. So the idea of the characters stays the same but in a new suit) Vander in Arcane is foreshadowed to be WW a couple of times: 1. They refer to him as "The hound of the undercity". 2. Also in the games when a player is low on hp, WW can smell their blood. And this gives him global bonusses when moving in that players direction, or when attacking him. As a player when WW gets this bonus on you, there is an audio cue that plays. In Arcane when Silco tells Vander "I'll show you who you really are" this audio cue starts to play. 3. In the games WW's voice lines to VI "Who' taught you how to punch?" And "That fear in your eyes i've seen it before" (possibly before she walks onto the bridge?) And to jinx he says "You were there" 4. In the final episode last shot of Singed, there appears to be an upside down... Vander/WW Wolverine looking dude.... Now fiddlesticks lore is cool cause it has to do with how Demons work in Runeterra lore. Demons, are based on negative human emotions/feelings. Basically the more deeply rooted and primal the "emotion" the older the Demon. Fiddlesticks is one of the first he's the demon of Fear. Obviously fear is one of the first human emotions. I'll take this chance to tell about one of my main champs since he's also one of the oldest demons... The demon of Hunger (some say greed) Tahm Kench. He's based on the Creole "god" Baron Samedi. The person who holds the contracts of the crossroads demons (don't know if you saw supernatural, but if you have you'll understand) There is a champion teaser video of Tahm Kench called: Tahm Kench: The River King There is a video on "Azakana" one of the newest demons in the lore. He is basically a parasite inside a host called Yone (pretty interesting character) There are 2 videos about his lore that are AMAZING. It's set in Ionia. There's an order you should watch the videos in or you'll mis references. **if i'm missing something someone plz correct me)** First video: Awaken (this video is set in 3 regions, Noxus, Ionia andPiltover. Great video with allot of lore. I set it first because you catch a glimpse of Yasuo, Yone's half-brother) Second video: The Path, An Ionian Myth (Here you get to meet Yone, and it'll be very confusing... Won't say more.. Cause spoilers) Third video: Kin of the Stained Blade (This video basically explains the confusing parts from the videos before) anyway loved the vid ♥ (To LoL players wondering about my mains, since i mentioned 2.... I play Yorick, Tahm Kench and Urgot. when auto filled Swain..... Yes I know I'm a dick ;P )
btw we know of the existence of 10 ancient demons in Runeterra.. But in game we've only got 8. We're still missing 2 Basically ordered by age (first 3 are unclear). Before the bracket champion name. between brackets the name of the demon (in case of possession) followed by the emotion it represents. 1 Fiddlesticks (The Demon of Fear) 2 Tahm Kench (The Demon of Hunger) 3 Nocturne (The Demon of Nightmares) 4 Evelynn (Agony - The Demon of Pain) 5 Swain (Raum - The Demon of Deep Secrets) 6 Shaco (Delirium - The Demon of Obtuse) 7 Yone (Azakana - The Demon of Negative) 8 Jhin (Frenzy - The Demon of Madness) 9 Bliss 10 Obsession
