There’s a lore reason why Ambessa is so hard to kill and survives things that should kill her. Essentially the god of death in this world is “Kindred”, a combination of the wolf spirit and the lamb spirit, the lamb offers people a peaceful death, while warriors are confronted with the wolf who fights them for their soul and a gruesome death. Ambessa chooses to fight and beat the wolf to claim her survival. That’s also why, only when she sees her daughter has become strong enough in both power and will to lead the Medarda clan, she accepts death to “the wolf” who finally bested her. There was a teaser technically, in the 3 eyed raven and Mel returning home. Those with the deep lore spotted quite a few more teasers but I’ll keep em secret. Maddie was a noxian spy from the outset, so she wasn’t petty about being taken advantage of, she actually took advantage of Caitlyn to get close and gather information for Ambessa. Also, Maddie was the reason for the nail in the bomb gears. Heimerdinger can’t die, technically, he is reincarnated in Bandle City, but being that he was in a different universe, who knows what happened to him. I don’t think he cared, s1e8 showed his remorse for being blind to the problems of society, and he spent the rest of the series doing good for the undercity, then he spent 3 years doing good for the alternate dimension while waiting for ekko, I think he was happy to make the sacrifice as a final atonement. For the deep lore on his hatred of hextech, society at large hates magic and mages, the “rune wars” they reference were when multiple mage cabals went to war with each other and almost destroyed the world. Since then, magic is nearly outlawed if not snuffed out. They battled over something called “world seeds” (I’ve seen nations destroyed by a single seed…) which were potent magic catalysts of planetary level power. The HexCore is essentially a manufactured World Seed. Ambessa wasn’t just coming to mess with piltover, she actually does have long term goals, though the show doesn’t explain them. Noxus is a “might makes right” society, and clans like the Medardas stay relevant through power and battling other clans and absorbing their members. When Ambessa says “for the family” she doesn’t mean just Mel, she means the survival of the thousands of her Clan. Hextech would serve her two purposes, growing and surviving her clan, and defending against the Black Rose, which I won’t expand on since it will likely be the next show. Ep 7, the pendant that Ekko gives powder is a blue rose, which cannot exist in nature, and is used to symbolize impossible or forbidden love or desire. It’s also fun on a rewatch to see powder slowly put the pieces together that this ekko is not her ekko. By the time they achieve the anomaly, she knows, watch her facial expression when she walks away after telling ekko to get ready for the party, and also why she throws the “leave a few things behind” line back at him. I love that with the mural, he chose to tell powder that a universe exists where Vi is still fighting for her, and chooses not to tell her about jinx. Also crazy, Ekko in game can go back 4 seconds, the dance is in 4 frames/sec, same as their bridge fight in s1e7, and the dance starts and ends at the exact same time marks as the bridge fight, and leaves 4:44 seconds left in the episode. The jail cell, when jinx says to Vi, “you’re never going to give up on me, are you.” Is such a masterful way to show her heartbreak. It isn’t a happy revelation that Vi will never give up, it shows her Vi will destroy her own life as long as jinx is in it, it shows that the only way to save her sister is to leave (die). She spends the entire series trying to die (chills at s2e3 “no matter what I do, I can’t seem to die”), and she can’t, Ekko saves her (s1e7 bridge, that grenade was only meant for one person, and it wasn’t ekko.) Vi saves her, silco saves her, Isha saves her, sevika saves her, everyone she loves will hurt themselves for her. She Jinxes her own death. So as sad as the ending is (yes I know she lives), it’s cathartic, Jinx finally gets to use her capacity for destruction to save someone else, not just physically, but by “killing” herself and taking the jinx out of everyone’s lives. She finally gets to sleep. Sorry for the novel, this is like my 60th watch along and I could talk endlessly about every single frame. A masterpiece of storytelling and art. If you haven’t watched “bridging the rift” for the behind the scenes “making of”, I would highly recommend it. And if you haven’t watched the cinematics yet, they are cool af, but cooler if you know a bit of lore. Was a blast tagging along with you, thanks for investing time into my favorite story and I hope you enjoyed it. You picked up on a lot of stuff most people miss and your theories were usually spot on. Cheers! Holler at me if you do a rewatch lol.
