Denethor Carried a Sword He Never Used
John Noble's Denethor wears a sword on his belt for the entire film despite never once drawing it. The props department just gave it to him so he'd feel like part of the club alongside everyone else who actually fought.
Jinx Dances Just Like Jake the Dog
Someone actually sat down and compared Jinx's dance emote side by side with Jake from Adventure Time doing his own goofy little shuffle, and the moves line up almost beat for beat. Whether it was intentional or a happy coincidence, once you've seen the comparison you can't watch either one the same way again.
The Composer Voiced the Monsters
Composer Marty O'Donnell didn't just score the game — his own voice was recorded and processed to create the guttural sound effects used for Hunters, Jackals and the Flood, so in a strange way the monsters of Halo all share one vocal cord.
Kassadin Might Be League's Most-Nerfed Champion
Irelia gets a reputation as the champion who's forever getting patched down, but Kassadin's numbers have quietly taken more hits over the years than almost anyone. Cooldowns stretched, damage trimmed, again and again, the poor Void Walker just can't catch a break.
Scan Your Way Into a Comic
Keep an eye on the walls of the museum where Steven works in episode one — there's a QR code hidden in plain sight, and if you scan it you actually get sent to a free download of Werewolf by Night #32, the comic where Moon Knight made his very first appearance back in the 70s.
Four Champion Skins Are Named After Old Web Browsers
Foxfire Ahri, Chrome Rammus, Explorer Ezreal, and Safari Caitlyn line up a little too neatly with Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Whether it's a deliberate in-joke from the skins team or just a happy coincidence, poor Ezreal really did get stuck representing the one browser everybody loves to complain about.
Filming Followed Oscar Isaac to the Desert Again
Part of the production headed out to the Wadi Rum Desert in Jordan for filming, which happens to be the exact same stretch of desert Oscar Isaac had already shot scenes in for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Five Months to Build a Campaign
The entire single-player campaign was built in roughly five months because of a hard deadline from Microsoft, and it shows if you pay attention — several of the later levels literally reuse earlier layouts run in reverse, because there simply wasn't time to build new spaces for the back half of the game.
The RV Was a Real 1986 Fleetwood Bounder
The battered meth-lab-on-wheels was a genuine 1986 Fleetwood Bounder. The actual RV used in filming got destroyed as part of the story, but a couple of replicas were built afterward and still get shown off to fans.
