LOL Champions as Movie Villans

Zagi Fn··7 votes·16,134 views

Super offtopic but say they created a League of Legends Movie. There are some champions that i think would be perfect villans. If you choose none of these, comment on who and why!

Correction: Some of these aren't purely evil. Replace villans with antagonists. Also, some of these (like Morgana) have nothing to do with their lore. They're simply my opinion on who would look interesting as an antagonist

Zaun has quite some good villains for a movie in my opinion. Urgot Twitch Singed

I feel like Swain, Zed and Morgana have too many complex motivations to be "villains". If you want to say antagonist that would be more accurate.

Veigar for a disney movie villain Jhin for a detectives/crime movie full of serious stuff chasing this artistic psycho killer Zoe the cute girl that turns out to be the cause of everyone's problem Elise fantasy movie trope villain Urgot and a distopian post apocalyptic world villain

I see it now, Veigar ready to speak about his evil plan and then started to sing about in his very high croaky voice.

No one can tell me otherwise that this is canon.

Quiyana would be a fantastic Villain. Taking inspiration from Azula from Avatar.

Swain's a bit more of an antihero at this point, and Morgana's a much better person than she used to be. Maybe not the best people, but not big-bads at all. Sylas, Jhin, and Urgot kind of have a three-way tie here.

Morgana isn't an anti hero though. All she's done is protected the weak and injured and forgave people of sin. The worst thing she's done in lore is argued with people that their laws are too harash lmao. Kayle murders blindly based on laws that were put into place by people long before she was born and has no room for mercy. That sounds more of an anti hero to me to be honest. #MorgDidNothingWrong

Okay, I didn't give Morgana enough credit - she's pretty cool and all, but she's hurt and having trouble with it. Both sisters have their flaws and on second thought, neither really fulfills an obvious role.

Morg and Kayle could be done more like a Drama instead of an action movie with some clear cut villian or obstacle. Make it a movie about their relationship and how they got where they are rather than like entirely combat.

Malzahar he is cult leader, who likely has some big connections and since we don't know his face he could even hide among the main or side characters as a surprise villain. Also him summoning cho'gath at the end would be a nice climax for the movie

You gotta read the lore man, Swain isn't really super villianus. More anti hero. Morgana is a total good guy and any movie about Sylas would probably just end up being the Fantasy version of Les Mesribles.

Urgot could be one of those "Villians who might have a point" and Jhin would be a classic disney villian, evil for the sake of being evil. But most champions who used to be the bad guys were made more sympathic because the point is for you to like them. If they intentionally made someone you're supposed to hate because they're a bad guy, why the fuck would you buy skins for them?

Jinx is technically a bad guy so they rewrit her to be a little less of a villian and made her more fun and she has a bit of method to her madness. I mean they are making Arcane which is featuring Jinx where the villian is someone we haven't seen before. Any movies or shows they do will probably have brand new characters to serve as a villian or will be the story of two differing characters with no real sway on who's right and who's wrong.

I mean you put morgana up there but if you had read the lore, you would know Kayle is kinda a homocidle manaic while Morgana is someone who believes that everyone is better than any sins they may have commited and works to heal those who are in pain. A Morgana and Kayle movie would definitely paint Kayle as more of a villian who believes she's doing the right thing than Morgana.

Also I do wanna say that honestly having a movie or something that had nothing to do with the champions, but instead the world might be cool. Imagine a detective movie done in live action similar to how the Witcher tv show is being done all about trying to find out how King Jarven III died. We could have one of the protagnoist be a Mage Seeker who's just a logical kind of person, all of his colleges just swept it under the rug and said a mage did it but investigating the scene shows no signs of magic or something. It could be a way to end the conflict in Demacia in a more peaceful way than in lore, Sylas killed Garen and Jarven VI but the game just isn't set in that point of time or whatever. It would also be a nice way to tie up that loose end that was just brushed over very quickly.

Did you say Harley Quinn? Harley Quinn skin would be good on her, imho.

ProExpertKing1 votes

Dude people have been calling for a harley quinn skin for Jinx since her release. It hasn't come though for extreamlly obvious reasons but maybe one day Riot can do a partnership with Marvel or DC where they can make superhero skins instead of just Marvel making their comics.

Alright. I made an adjustment

Zed and Sylas did nothing wrong just like thanos, so it's either Jhin or Urgot

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

I mean, if you think Sylas did nothing wrong, then the same should apply to Urgot.

Dude is basically kickstarting a revolution in Zaun to fight against the oppression by Piltover. Many people down there in Zaun live in horrible conditions while the houses up in Piltover live in luxury. Hence why so many people from Zaun were so willing to accept his idea of strength and take what they think they deserve.

Are you looking for a bad guy who turns good/neutral partway of the movie or a true evil antagonist who is the problem from start to finish?

These guys are all different and do not fit every role.

Additionally, those characters have widely different powerlevels relative to eachother and so for anything to make sense lorewise you´d have to balance them out with similarly powerful champions.

For instance, cant use Jhin as the antagonist villain if Syndra gets hostile, she´d pulverize him in seconds just because she is so absurdly powerful, like top tier ascended specialized in magic powerful.

You can use Syndra though, as a supporting character to Zed fighting Jhin if the latter has a bunch of mages helping him sent by the shady council people who sponsor him.

And even then i´d guess it´d be mostly her rolling them all over.

Evelynn horror movie monster Same with any void champion or 90% of the shadow isles champions

Leblanc "what a twist" villain.....

Lissandra could still be portrayed as a villain (Though not a cut and dry one).

Due to the "ends justifies the means" mentality: Zed Urgot Sylas and even Xayah can be villains

Zagi Fn1 votes

Xayah and Rakan would be very interesting villans. I feel like they'd be on more of a jinx side (Reckless, Destructive, Impulsive, etc.)

ArezuAfar1 votes

I'm not sure about villain because that word reminds me of someone like Veigar. But If we are going with movie antagonists, I like Zed because he is complex. Zed has good reasons for what he is doing, he thinks his decisions will save Ionia but he is also destroying the land he is trying so hard to protect. He is also using and teaching others to use shadow magic which created Nocturn.

Zagi Fn1 votes

Zed could be interesting because he could turn out not to be an antagonist.

Depends on who's perspective you tell the story from. From a Demancian/Ionian's point of view, a leader of Noxus is most certainly a villain. That being said I see him as a sort of amalgamation of Dr.Doom and Magneto. A capable leader who makes outwardly questionable decisions when trying to achieve his goals. Not necessarily bad, but not exactly good either.

well he took the power (and throw it on window lmao) exactly to stop some of the reason Noxus had such a bad reputation, I dont say he's a good guy tho, but he's not a villain, he just fights to make his country better and reduce LeBlanc influence. We can literally pick any noxian champion and they will have more villain traits than Swain, even if they may not be as interesting as him.

Jhin Jinx

I would love to see these both as antagonists for Piltover/Zaun. Her chaos clashing with his meticulous planning would be super intriguing to see. and we could have all the officers Camille Caitlyn Vi trying to apprehend them. I'm no writer so I can't come up with a story that would convincingly have both Jhin and Jinx going after the same thing, but I like the idea and possibilities that could come from it!
