A MAGICAL OPENING - dimension 20 misfits and magic episode 1 favorite moments (part 1)

dimension 20 is so good and if you haven't watched any seasons please go to their youtube channel and watch thank you
this is my second time uploading this and I wrote a lot here the first time but now I can't remember what it was so just ily lou
sorry for the forced closed captions, force of habit
also i still can't figure out how to get a thumbnail on this video but my tummy hurts so i'll come back to it later okie byeee

I knew this was gonna be a good series as soon as Lou said “Ay yo, look at that big ass bird up there!”

[@leaches_]

"He assumes this is a pill to swallow" Evan is my kind of protagonist: knows a lot, assumes even more

[@hakkesho12]

These owls have me WEAK. Evan’s legit turned its head ALL the way around just so it wouldn’t have to answer his horrifying question 🤣🤣🤣. I love Aabria’s sense of humor so much, and this whole cast has a great vibe with her and each other ❤️

[@blueblitzblaze]

"The bird laments its lack of hand to facepalm" got me good 😆

[@hotscottrulz]

My thoughts on all four of the main characters: Jammer is brilliant, mostly because Lou is brilliant. While a lot of his characterisation lies in areas which I personally have no experience - for instance, when he mentioned the McRib in a recent episode, I had to look it up because we don’t have it here in the UK - he manages to remain easily understandable and hilarious. Also, his burgeoning friendship with Evan is the best thing in the world. I love Dream so much, specifically because Erika said that she thought about who would be the worst person to get invited to a magical school, and decided on a person who is hugely into fandom. Also, she’s kind of a mirror in which I see myself about five years ago, which is terrifying and fun at the same time. Sam is truly wonderful, and the first time I’ve seen Danielle in anything. The heavy leaning into “just-chatting” livestreams and TikTok - two areas of the internet that are both hotbeds for hilarity and awkward horror - is just the best. I also love the idea that Sam’s wand was originally going to be just a straight-up selfie stick - and I love the final design of it too! Finally, we come to our resident real-life (sorta) sadboy, Evan Kelmp. Brennan is a fantastic DM (obviously), and an equally amazing player! Evan is such a good reflection of the “cursed chosen one” trope, and the interactions between him and Dream are just the best. Of course, although she isn’t one of the main characters, I couldn’t finish this comment without discussing Aabria, who has such a great GM-ing style that I have found myself starving for the next instalment of both this and EXU. Long live the Summer of Aabria!

[@Jermbot15]

I like how they all picked the worst person to go to a secret magic school, but went entirely different ways with it.

[@JCIII3]

Off topic but the UK definitely has the McRib. It has limited runs though. I ate that shit like everyday in Uni

[@hotscottrulz]

@@JCIII3 really? I’ve never seen it. Guess I don’t go to McDonald’s enough then haha : )

[@dig8634]

On Aabria, I just really like how she leans into the "for the viewer" shit with little bits and pieces that the characters don't catch. Fully trusting her players to not abuse that info while leaning into the fact that it is a show. Also the fact that both campaigns are short-form, not really open world campaigns with a pre-planned not-meant-to-be-avoided story gives it a really different feel. I'm deliberately avoiding the word railroading btw, because it carries a much greater implication of bad etiquette on the side of the DM, which obviously isn't what is going on here or ExU. It is basically running a module.

[@PoemJunkie]

The McRib jokes are so fucking specific, because it has layers. The McRib is famously polarizing between people that love it and hate it. Since it does limited runs, the people that love it go nuts when it’s back on the menu. It’s common joke fodder.

[@RiskPig]

Lou had my eternal gratitude when he asked, at the table, what the hell is a mukbang. I had seen the word before in video titles, but I couldn't be bothered to look it up, lol.

[@mistertea603]

He said it with the dignity of royalty and the distress of an old man

[@rain.enthusiast]

aabria is such a good dm she meshes so well with the rest of the cast it’s delightful

[@EthalaRide]

I love how Sam and Jammer were both so ready to fight this giant bird.

[@21touma]

Brennan as a PC is all I've ever needed from life

[@abj6920]

This really is an outstanding series, so short, so sweet, so chaotic but politically charged Brennan as a player brings SO MUCH to the table that I thought he would swallow up everyone else but everyone found the way to give themselves a complete arc and a handful of dope AF moments in a very limited time.

[@mitchellsmith746]

Lol, saw this episode today and after it was over I was thinking like, well damn, Brennan just made himself the main character of the campaign, mostly because he was so good at injecting his backstory so organically into the story throughout the episode and by the end of the first 2 hours he'd already subverted our expectations and tied his whole formative backstory together

[@abj6920]

@@mitchellsmith746 It's weird to hear about main characters in role playing games but I do get what you mean. I would say that if that happened it's because Evan is literally the only character with some magical background instead of having four characters learning the ropes at the same time and reacting. Like yeah, he gave himself a launchpad for a story whereas everyone else made a character who was about to learn stuff pasively. But I do think that by the end they all flourish in pretty cool ways

[@mitchellsmith746]

@@abj6920 it was weird for me thinking about it but he definitely felt a lot more pronounced than the other characters by the end of Ep. 1

Cool Theory that is 100% not true but is cool to think about: Evan Kelmp is Gilear as a child. He was too magical and got his dark powers pulled from his body and became a normal man who changed his name to Gilear Faeth to avoid being recognized by name.

@@PureGoldNeverCorrodes mukbang is the practice of streaming yourself eating and chilling with people who watch

[@PureGoldNeverCorrodes]

@@CassReidIsSomeone thanks.

[@dig8634]

@@CassReidIsSomeone Usually with specific focus on the act of eating. It isn't really just a chilling stream. You are not automatically doing a mukbang if you happen to eat while chatting with chat. I don't think it is required for it to be a mukbang, but the more famous examples involve upsetting amounts of food eaten by skinny people, or gourmet food almost too expensive to actually eat. Or like with the cucumber, you can have the ASMR factor of the eating sound, though obviously the cucumber referenced here was basically the hottub streamer tactic of attracting people by being suggestive since sex sells

I know this is over a month later but can someone please explain what "two, two" means in basketball because I laugh every single time but I really don't know what I'm laughing at

[@coolkid92223]

shooting a two-pointer versus a three-pointer, i think, like jammer's telling a teammate to go for the two-pointer rather than risking going for the three? or defense, as in telling someone to guard player #2 so they can't get the ball and go for a shot? idk for certain as i am only a very casual basketball fan, but that's my best guess!
