Sad men hours??? Plus one (1) sad teenage girl who’s probably gonna end up more well-adjusted than all of’em.

The Legend Of Vox Machina

A fun watch, though unclear to me how much appeal it has for those unfamiliar with Critical Role. While I’ve never watched Campaign 1, I have approximate knowledge of many aspects, and of course the residual affection that comes from being a fan of C2.

Loved the Briarwoods arc and Percy throughout it. The terribly angsty backstory and the way the flashbacks are distributed across the episodes, the names on his gun and the overall style of his vengeance, his very stricken expressions and his occasional smiley faces. My favourite interactions of his were with Cassandra, I think, and how fraught it is from being the survivors (possibly only because they weren’t adults or the youngest kids) and from him leaving her behind. Literally the only other thing I would have wanted was more emphasis on how neither of them expected to ever rule, given the resolution to Whitestone this season.

Strangely enough, I think the Percy relationship I bought least was....Percy & Vox Machina? I understand the Doylist reasons for the structure of the pilot, but the ultimate effect is that I never really bought the speedy transition from “we are shitheads who are just stuck with each other ooooh we killed a dragon” to “we will follow you back to your vampire-and-witch-ruled hometown to help you with some vengeance”.
