griffin mcelroy broke into my house and killed me in cold blood, and you, with your STUNNING art, helped him commit that crime i kinda hate how you incorporated "who?" and the fade to static and taako facing lup's skeleton without even realising it and all the other deaths in the campaign because it made me cry but also i LOVE how you did it because it's an absolutely fuckin' gorgeous animatic

Oh the "and then she wasn't" is so painful The way he stumbled, for a moment, suddenly without his sister there to lean on. Stab my heart next time
@cariswilliams58083 жыл бұрын
I hadn't picked up on the Taako forgetting foreshadowing of Lup's speech about how nothing can change the fact that they've gotten here together. Ugh. This animatic brought that home and then wrapped it up in a heartwrenching bow with the "Who?" at the end.

It's been 4 years, but I'm gonna comment anyways. I think that this conversation in particular is why Taako never truly forgave Lucretia. Lup was the... entirety of Taako's support system. Even after she left, he could lean on his memories of her for comfort, and he still had hope. By forcing Taako to forget Lup entirely, she left him with *nothing.* And while he got Lup back, those 12 years broke him in ways not even Lup could fully put back together. Lucretia turned Lup into a liar twice over, and that, to Taako, was unforgivable.

@throwaway_nerd3 жыл бұрын
Uuuuuugh, it made me cry because all those moments but also the representation of this message being about Griffin, Justin, and Travis’ mom, and I feel like Griffin is just saying to the audience what he feels about losing her: Some deaths are these beautiful works of art, like Sloane and Hurley. Some deaths are meaningless and unfair, like Johann. And most deaths are simply something you never see coming when you just spent the day with a person, like Julia. And I can really feel myself crying with them because that’s really how it is sometimes. One day you’re talking to a person and laughing with them and smiling with them… and the next they’re gone. You dwell on how it was sudden, on how it shouldn’t have happened, but it did. You may try to force yourself into religion to believe in something past the grief, you might lose yourself in the despair. And it’s something you cannot stop, but that last moment or object is simply all you have to hold onto. I think that’s why Griffin is really one of the best DMs I’ve ever heard in my life. I love Brennan Lee Mulligan and how he addressed the abuse faced by Adaine in Fantasy High, I like a lot of the nuance from Matt Mercer… But I don’t think anything can hit me as hard as Griffin’s soft voice explaining death when he had lost his mother.

GOD i love this! Your character designs are amazing, especially Istus and Julia! Also the moment where Taako stumbles is heart breaking, and the frame of Barry is heart wrenching as well.
@kedandunn2 жыл бұрын
what I love about this is that Griffin created something so freaking raw and heart wrenching but it was so simple. It wasn't some grandiose melodramatic death scene, you know like dying in the hero's arms as they yell at the sky or whatever, she was just gone, and that was ten times more effective and emotional. Less really is more, esp when he brings in universal truths that anyone can resonate with. This hurt, and her return was so cathartic I cheered, and a few episodes ago we didn't even know this character existed.
