You notice when Vex asks "He has to reload sometime, right?" - he actually doesn't reload. In every other time, they've made a point to show him reloading, but here, he never does.
And I have to say Esme Creed-Miles is absolutely brilliant as Cassandra. The biggest role outside of Vox Machina and the Briarwoods, and arguably more complex than the Briarwoods. And she nailed it perfectly. All the casting was great, but she really stood out for me.
At 9:25, the joke is, Liam (Vaxildan) is WELL KNOWN, for starting deep, emotion conversations, getting people feeling things, then saying, "I walk away". Leaving them with heavy thoughts. So this was a little gag at Vax's expense.
Thunder of Dragons shows up, “Hey have you all seen our intern, Brimsythe? He’s a blue dragon, kinda weak.”
no doubt LOL Perfect!
The Chroma Conclave*
Hey, Vegeta and Napa here, you the guys who hit Radditz?
@@MarcSola7a group of dragons is called a thunder. Like a murder of crows or an army of caterpillars
Seeing Percy smiled at the sun tree, after all he's been through makes my heart so warm! So proud of him!
Every time Percy smiles an Aasimar acquires their wings. 🥰
Fun Fact: In the campaign Percy doesn’t build a replacement for The List. He finds a completed pistol in Dr. Ripely’s quarters and he uses it as his sidearm for a bit. He calls it Retort.
He finds Retort here in the series too, it was in Ripley's bag in need of repair. Its why he can say "You know how bloody long it will take to make another one!?" and then next minute he already has a new one.
I suspect your third thing was going to be the "I walk away" moment. Another classic thing from the campaign that they integrated into the show.
Can't wait to watch Season 2 with y'all! Really enjoyed it.
not only is Percy mad but Taliesin says to this day he's mad at Sam for throwing the gun in the acid, even tho he knows as it turns out it's good that he did lol.
The last time I was this early, Percy still had parents. Looking forward to Paula seeing the arrival of the Chroma Conclave.
Dito.
Neither the call to the cloudtop nor the brief of the announcement triggert the memory... but the renouncment did :)
Oh, I hope you enjoy C1 Kat, it's really an amazing story, not just the actual campaign, but also their growth as a group and later as a company.
Tiberius went all the way through episode 27. But he was a "That Guy" and got kicked out of the group after episode 27. In fact most people say skip 27 because it was Tiberius at his worst and the show was at its lowest point.
"And I walk away" I love how well they've adapted all these funny things the players says!
It is time, time for this first season of LOVM with Gallifrey Gals to come to an end, and I weep, for this has been so great!
Looking forward to more reactions from you gals, and I can't wait for season two!
Fun fact: David Bowie's real name is Davy Jones. He changed it so he wouldn't be confused with the one in the Monkees
What I really love about this series as an adaptation is that while, yes, it doesn't follow the plot of the campaign beat for beat and some things are changed, it has all the most important things about the streamed story: they stayed _very_ faithful to the characterisation of the characters (which, duh, the people who created and played the characters are the people in charge of making this) and the overall feeling of the show and story. And _that's_ something that's very hard to do unless you understand the story you're trying to tell on a very intimate level. Which they do, having lived it.
Watching Critical Role from the beginning is great for building the history and foundation but understand that the beginning is the roughest part to watch. It's where the worst of the production quality is, hence sound issues, players not really knowing how to behave in the new setting, and that other character can be very polarizing. I think he's there for like 27 episodes.
Just to throw it out there, Campaign 2 is also another good starting point, particularly if you don't want spoilers of Campaign 1 before season 2 of the animation. You also get to start at the very beginning of a whole new story with brand new hero's to be, and the production is quality is amazing.
Yay! I've been looking forward to your final reaction to this season, but also not wanting you to reach the end because these reactions have been such a delight.
"Darling, take of the mask" is such a good moment
Katrina, helpful tip if you're starting Campaign 1 from Ep 1 - get a post-it note and cover the section of the screen showing Twitch chat. It's just as toxic as you may imagine. Thankfully, they removed it from the layout after about 30-ish episodes.
It's okay in the first like 10 episodes, but after that it gets bad
the entrance of the Conclave was cinematic quality in the campaign.
imagine the scene where Tony and Rhodie are being surrounded by the Hammer drones, how they fall into frame, and the "thump!" they make,.... but cranked up to 11, and with dragons.
and instead of an arboretum, it's the whole Cloudtop, and the camera is at street level looking up 100 meters onto the tower.
pure "well, we're fucked" moment.
Paula: *does her best Monkees*
Katrina: Nope.
The beginning of the campaign sessions on Geek & Sundry actually has a story arc that is not in the animated show, and then transitions into the Briarwood arc after, but the killing of the Blue Dragon is referenced, but happened during the campaign before they were putting sessions online.
oh wow Steven Universe! Love it. Just never got round to rewatching it due to just how much Season 1 there is but would love re-watching it with you gals!
Legend of Vox Machina is a fun alternate version of what happened in campaign 1. I think the only thing in this episode I object to is Percy thanking Scanlan for destroying the pepperbox. He was furious. Keyleth had to cast Hold Person on him to keep him from jumping into the acid for it. He was having a nervous breakdown about how expensive it was to make. Cassandra tried to slap him out of it and he responded with 'You were never mother's favorite. She told me.' (Though Matt retconned that he couldn't have talked while under the Hold Person) I think Taliesin still holds a grudge.
Tal said in the wrapup that Percy never forgave Scanlan.
The major difference there is Percy was able to keep control in the game, and never turned the gun on his friends. It makes sense that in this version when he was so close to killing them all that he would actually be grateful for the intervention.
The Gun scene was a major Snafu. Friends (a level One spell) makes someone treat you as a Friend, (you get advantage on Charisma Checks) which Sam used to get the Gun from him. It also makes you "Hostile" towards the person who cast it.
There is no way that Percy, who basically sold his soul to create the Weapon, which probably had "Magical" ties to him, would give it away with a Persuasion Check.
That is "I Persuade the Merchant to give me all of his Goods" level of nonsense.
@@lokithecat7225 I don't think he expected Scanlan to try and destroy it. He would probably be hesitant, but he's a nerd, and showing off his genius is very in character.
@@cryofpaine It's been a long time, but as far as I can recall he never let anyone "Inspect" or hold it, as he was paranoid about the design being copied...
And I think Scanlan was talking about how it needed to be destroyed before it happened.
Which still leaves the issue of him not attempting to Kill Scanlan immediately after, as Friends makes him "Hostile" (RAW) and Scanlan just destroyed something he basically sold his Soul to make.
I always picture the tree as Jeff Bridges, in the big lebowsky
So grateful you both reacted to this. It brought my attention to your channel, and I will be sticking around.
The Sun Tree's name in the campaign is Matthew McConaughtree
percy sorting his overdeveloped Sense of Vengeance
If you haven't watched it you should watch the DuckTales Reboot. It's so amazing and our Favorite Bard, Sam Riegel is the voice director of the series and David Tennant is the main star! Also produced by the same guys behind Gravity Falls
The Critical Role cast will be at NY Comic Con on October 6th. It is listed as a Legend of Vox Machina panel, so maybe they will announce season 2!!!
Season 2 has already been confirmed by Amazon. Considering they got season 1 pretty much for free.
@@elbruces yes but when it comes out hasn’t been announced yet
Here's to hoping, about the announcement of Season 2!
The description of the panel on the NYCC site confirms there will be "an exclusive sneak peek of what's to come in the second season." Could be another table read, clips, or the main trailer, and hopefully a release date
@@hhylobates4098 : Nice! I'm just hoping somebody streams the panel online, so those of us unable to make it can see it live.
Raishan is gonna be great. Can't wait for season 2.
And campaign two. And generation two...
The episodes before the Briarwood arc are a little rough but they are filled with wonderful gems and a TON of important world lore and a lot of important, delightful, and formative NPC relationship moments with Gilmore, Allura, and Kima in particular (And Jarret I think). And honestly Orion isn't that bad at first, he sort of slowly grows as a problem.
Thought Orion was just playing a buffoonish windbag, but it just kept becoming more and more self-centered. My final straw was pretty much the same as Matt's, when Orion went off and came back with his own Bag of Holding and other items, without involving Matt in how it happened.
@@richardyoung3462 Yeah, like, I thought Tibs was a pompous windbag, but at first it was just a character and I was enjoying the show, and his pomp WAS funny. And character flaws in a CHARACTER are fine, I mean Scanlan was a douchey wisecracking womanizing asshole (I mean, there was more to it than that, but come on, he was a dick lol.) And I enjoyed it. As it became more obvious that it was a player problem, with him splitting off on his own all the time and stuff, then it got weird.
Was fun going on this ride with you guys!
You're absolutely going to love Season 2. It's great so far.
Hope to see your reactions to it some day.
And so begins the Conclave
As someone who watched the show and was then inspired to watch campaign 1, do it. So good. I made it through in like 4 months and now I’m halfway through campaign 2.
In case anyone is interested, there's a Legend of Vox Machina panel at NYCC on Oct 6th at 7:30 pm EST. In the update from kickstarter, it was heavily implied that they'll be sharing details on season 2. Hopefully, that will include a release date like it did last year. You can watch the panel virtually, and if it's like last year, you shouldn't have to pay, unless you want access tp view it for the next month.
The description of the panel on the NYCC site confirms there will be "an exclusive sneak peek of what's to come in the second season."
12:06 thats some hard PTSD flashbacks from Paula:)
If one of y'all have seen Dragon Ball Z, I just wanna tell you that Brimscythe is the Raditz of the Dragons
I absolutely love seeing the look of dread appear on critters faces when they remember what's about to happen at the end. Cant fucking wait for the Chroma Conclave arc.
Yeah!! Love the announcement! Very excited!!
In the campaign, Keyleth's Tree Stride spell only lasts 6 seconds 😄
I really hope we get some Matthew McConaughtree in season 2.
Heeeeey, kiki
Heeeeeey, I`m so happy you`ve reacted to this! Seeing Kat crying made me crying.
Cassandra is wild and dangerous.
In the next season I wanna see twins` backstory and a plot about Grog and his Definitely Neither Evil Nor Cursed Black Sword :DDD
I think Percy`s new gun is the one he took from Ripley, hope they`ll clarify this.
15:14 Thank You Kat!
"There was another character"....we don't talk about Tiberius.
Wonderful - thanks for the ride!
Yay for Stevevn Universe!! But bubbled? "Gallifrey Gals get gems" was right there!
Dang it... Hahaha. That is a good one!!
Or uncut. Uncut Geaems!
If you ever wonder why Percy has parental issues, Grey voices his mom in this series as well as Delilah
Steven Universe ! Great, I can keep watching you !
Y’all really need to watch the “Legend of the Legend of Vox Machina” videos that show the whole process of these wonderful creators making this show. There’s a playlist on the Critical Role TH-cam channel.
Scanlan chucking the gun is absolutely worth watching in the campaign. Percys response was hilarious
Also, i believe the dragon reveal moment was in the same episode as a big Scanlan moment, so it was a significant one
Scanlans thing was mostly in 38 "A Musician's Nostalgia" and 39 "Echoes of the Past". The dragons came in right at the end of 39 "Omens". I wonder how and where they're going to squeeze in Scanlans thing, it has to happen soon and there's A LOT going on.
At 16:50, WILDLY, the "SCANBO ASSAULT" was actually CRAZIER, then it was pictured in episode 7 in the live game !! ROFLMAO
14:00 Spoilers! Matthew McConatree doesn't happen until later! They could totally still do it!
Steven! So many great songs in your futures. Kat you were great in The Imperfects
I thought you all were going to say you'd be watching The Owl House and I got excited haha
Gals, guess what! Season 2 is coming next January and Season 3 is greenlit!!
so the young adult blue dragon not even 100 years old was hard, lets see how they deal with some ancient thousend year old superdragons including big daddy red xD damn he looks scary in the last frame as hell xD
Steven Universe....
I, I'm ok, I'm not crying, I'm just uh ... overflowing with joy, it's ... liquid happiness? Well, it's flowing from my eyes ...
Oh man, I'm gonna miss these reactions:)
just thought I would drop a comment letting you know season 2 is now avalible
I was 100% certain that they would end with the arrival of the dragons. Despite that, when it happened, I had so much anxiety lol
The beginning of campaign one is rough. It's worth it though--hang in for 20+ episodes.
One for the self-esteem!
Brimscythe was kinda the Radditz of their gang.
I'd say it's better to start campaign 1 after the Briarwood arc (episode 37 or 38, somewhere there). Yea, you'd be skipping a bit, but the Briarwood arc really is where the show picks up. Most episodes before that are full of tech difficulties, missing players, that Orion player, and more...
I am soooooooooo beyond hype for you to do Steven Universe! It is such an unbelievably wild rollercoaster ride; I'm as invested in this as I am in Doctor Who, which is what brought me to your channel in the first place.
Episodes are shorter than the stuff you typically watch, but there's a lot of them. Two episodes at a time?
Three at a time will be the norm. 💜
@@firefly24601 Confirmed on patreon?
@@ghostsurfer23 Yup! The first reaction (episodes 1-3) are already up on Patreon. Animated reactions are a week ahead of TH-cam.
You have to destroy the corpses of necromancers in D&D. Otherwise, they will self resurrect as liches and become even more powerful.
Thank you for the song at the beginning. XD where is it from? Is it worth checking out?
Is it about time to get SCHWIFTY again up in here? 🗿🛸
Eventually, yes.
This show is so good. Paula was very tactful explaining the other player who is in the first Critical Role streams. I'm not sure if you're going to have room in your schedules for a while, but is there any chance you might react to The Sandman at some point?
I love this channel, and I love The Sandman, but I don't think Paula would enjoy some of the elements in that show.
@@elbruces You're probably right. I do think she would love episode 6 and the depiction of Dream's big sister, (and other things) but getting there through stuff like episode 5 would probably be asking a lot.
I do think Katrina would absolutely love the whole show though.
Honestly, I mostly just wish more of the reactors I follow were doing the show, because it's my favourite thing I've seen in ages.
Steven Universe is great, but the first few seasons are rough. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE THIS SHOW WITH ALL MY HEART. But some episodes are ok, while others are... humorous for some. The show definitely gets better over time. The themes take time to form. Then it's so damn good that I couldn't believe it. But takes time. I'm just saying don't get discouraged.
Either as a reaction or in your own time please watch the Legend of.... Making Of series over on the Critical Role TH-cam Channel. It's awesome.
You now need to react to the Monkeys
Reaction to The Monkees when?
Steven Universe is amazing but I wonder it's probably a little long to go through all episodes or will you bunch them together? Love the show!
It will be three episodes per reaction since they're each about 11 minutes long!
Are you going to be reacting to Vox Machina season 2?
the pain and sorrow they would have saved if they had let Percy Kill Ripley. .
Anybody else think Kat is the female Anthony Padilla?
16:27 You're 100% Right. The Campaign is 10,000% better than the Animated Series and I think the Animated series is a brilliant work of art. But the Book is (almost) always better than the movie. and the same goes for this. It would be physically impossible to capture the depth and complexity of the story in the time constraints of animation, it's like trying to capture the Ocean in a jar.
it is a very true statement! However, This instance is the closest to a perfect adaptation you could come. at least in my opinion.
That much is obvious. It would be impossible to cover several hundred hours of D&D gameplay in an animated show with only a couple of seasons and about 30 minute long episodes. Even if we consider that fights are significantly faster in such a show than they are played out in D&D.
@@Brot1984 It is obvious, and yet, people somehow think that it will give them sufficient information from C1 to go into C2 and C3, (C3 in particular) and know anything and everything at all important of factual relevance about the Real Campaign. I keep seeing people come up with theories using "Evidence" from the animated series that directly contradicts or is irrelevant to the Campaign and I'm like, guys, come on. lol.
@@davidbergfors6820 I did say it was a brilliant work of art after all. 😊
I think there were things they could have done better, Vax and Gilmore is a big one they could have done much better in my opinion. (Like, I get it Vax and Keyleth end up together, _Jesus._ let Vax be a disaster Bisexual.) Some story changes that were almost definitely because of time that detract from the quality but I completely understand why. But overall it's great.
*Katrina:* I just need to know if Keyleth dies, so I can emotionally decide if I'm gonna be like, so, I'm ready.
Katrina, just saying, if they include "Keyfish" at some point, you'll know it by the line, "It's okay. We're golden gods, after all!"
What I don't think you'll be ready for are the emotionally heavy moments that happen later in the campaign, if they get included, such as retrieving a certain set of armor. Doing so is the reason why ravens are included in the intro.
By the way, here's a fun fact: Matt Mercer voices Orthax, the shadow demon.
And, girls, if you want to close out Season 1 of TLOVM properly, do a reaction to the Kickstarter campaign, which is how this animated show came to be! Literally, I think Critical Role met their original $750,000 goal in what, 3 days? By the end of their 45-day campaign, more than 88,000 Critters raised over $11.3 million for this animated series. How amazing it is to be alive in a time where creators have so much control over what they make, and seeing it turn into a success!
Not days, minutes. The initial goal was hit in 45 minutes of the kick starter going live
@@VegetaLF7 : I couldn't remember, lol. When I first heard about it, I thought the goal was hit rather quickly. Still amazes me to think a community fund-raiser was completed in 45 minutes, lol.
as Vegeta stated, the initial goal was reached within minutes.
I believe the 3 day mark was when they had their live hangout to promote the campaign. at that point all their initial stretch goals had been reached too. I believe that happened within the first day too.
@@davidbergfors6820 Best part was they kept pumping out more and more stretch goals for sums that they thought were ridiculous...and were blown past time and time again. They asked for $75k and got $11 million. That 2nd day video where the crew opened up by just sitting on the couch absolutely speechless at what was going down was priceless. *Nobody* could have predicted the sheer amount of "shut up and take my money" the Critter community was about to throw at this project.
AH, Tiberius Stormwind, Great Character shitty player
If you are getting in to campaign 1 Would recommend watching from episode 28 , there's some stuff ( pretty uncomfortable) that happened before that the player had to leave
Or watch campaign 2 to meet whole new characters and more experienced cast and another beautiful story
Or watch from the beginning. Yes there are some production quality issues and yes there are also some problematic situations with one particular player but a lot of good stuff happens there too and with the exception of one episode the bad stuff is usually contained. You can alsomstill skip an episodes or parts of an episode if they get to annoying. And besides of story related stuff it really is a delight to see how they react to their sudden and somewhat unexpected success. The first T-Shirt sell is a really wholesome moment.
