Beyond Critical Role @ MomoCon 2017 with Matt, Marisha, Taliesin & Brian [Spoilers E98]

[@LordZeebee]

"It gets crazier every day" -Matt Mercer, two years before he managed to raise 9 million USD in a little more than a month.

[@JohannesJ7539]

It was actually over 11 million

[@kristalcornwell]

11.3 and amazon prime backing...... plus offical canon within the wotc universe. even then anyone else get the feeling we aint see the peak of this yet

[@ThePilipino23]

CR cast talking about CR: ITS FUN YOU GUYS! CR cast talking about voice acting: *takes a long sip of whiskey* its fucked you guys

[@CptObvious]

I love Taliesin's stories. "I'm 9! What is your damage?"

[@ikeekieeki]

that whole bit was wild

[@tuesdaynext7370]

That whole rant is *gold*

[@mostlyanonymous7203]

Marisha explaining her "faults" of always being pushy and asking why and not taking no for an answer and using the goldfish incident as an example, then Matt jumps in with her challenging gender roles as a positive example ... that's the love I want. Sorry, just saw this and wanted to comment that these people and their love for each other makes me happy.

[@CptObvious]

And then there was the "what keeps you going" question and they immediately pointed at each other.

[@mordirit8727]

I loved Marisha's stance on the female discrimination issue, "there are more allies than enemies". Sounds like a good and healthy way of dealing with beign dealt bs now and then

[@TheSilverPhoenix100]

Its also a good stance for feminists to adopt as far to often now they treat all men as enemies which does nothing but push men away from you and your casue, hense what alot of men refuse to date women their age or younger now

[@theoneandonlytardis9535]

I love this interview so much - I love their inability to just answer a question without derailing, it makes them so beautifully authentic and true to themselves. They are a bunch of chaos heads - very intelligent, talented, and affectionate, but chaos heads nevertheless - and they have really stolen my heart.

[@ShadowyFox_86]

That whole bunch has so much of "ooh look, a squirrel!" energy. 😂

[@blakemonway]

So if we have Papa Mercer, do we have MaMarisha?

[@al3ks15]

34:06 is this the first occurence of "leave X better than you found it"? Hearing it always makes my heart ache.

[@idontuploadanym0re]

They talked about yearbook quotes.... Funny, I already have an idea for my yearbook quote from Taliesin, but not from this panel XD. I’m going to use “Your secret is safe with my indifference.”

[@SirGeoGio13]

[@gwion35]

Lost my shit when Matt recommended House of Leaves. It was assigned for a class I took in Uni, and I fell in love with it. Such a good book.

[@syntacticalcrab]

I kind of want all their panels to be just-off-the-plane-punch-drunk-tired-and-giggling >.> But no sweeties go sleep.

[@4WordsTo]

I feel like Brian just has an innate feeling about when to crack a joke to lighten up a situation

[@xorwin1236]

I think they were never this unhinged on a panel before, and in the best way possible at that. :D

[@CriticalScope]

+Nikola Krneta they're all awesome. Another great combination is Matt & Taliesin. They go back a loooong time and have the stories to prove it. This panel is awesome too. Check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3ykioOjl5iEj5Y

[@xorwin1236]

Oh, don't worry, I've watched every single one of your videos. :D You are doing the work of the gods my friends. Many thanks! I'm way on the other side of the world, so I'll probably never be able to see a panel unless you continue to put them up on yt. :)

[@Ducksoup44]

hmph, look... it's me. Hope everyone enjoyed the Panel!

+Hannah Covington-Walker hi Hannah. We tried to find your full name & twitter but couldn't find it. If you want, let us know and we'll add you to the description :-)

[@Ducksoup44]

Oh sure! that would be lovely thank you. My twitter is; @Hecw

Seriously that scene in Injustice 2 between Taliesin and Liam was AMAZING

[@starlostlovers]

Thank you for posting this! I wasn't able to go that day. Keep putting good ideas and good attitudes out into the world. It's great seeing you supporting eachother and having fun. Much love!

[@wildbronco038]

I'm with Marisha. I thought Hannah was talking about them too at 48:30

[@Ducksoup44]

Mayhaps I was, you'll never know! MUAHAHAHAHHA!

[@CriticalScope]

+Hannah Covington-Walker haha, yeah i thought so too, especially with them going waaay of topic 2 questions before this. I thought it was very fitting ^^

[@Ducksoup44]

I think my main concern was making sure that they weren't going to get people asking them on dates or weird nonsense like that. lol I think anyone going to see their panel knew what to expect. I don't really believe in censoring a panel that has an adult demographic. Plus it's mean to reprimand jet-lagged persons. :-D

[@Mystchevious]

Papi Mercer is my hero. I love all these guys so much.

[@MFewwy]

MATT WE TWITCH FAMOUS!!!

[@groofay]

Critical Role: We eat douchebags for breakfast. Sounds like a reasonable slogan to me.

[@w00tistgames]

Finding out that Matt wanted to be an animator was a bit of a shock. I wonder what he made back in the day, and if I'm worthy of working in the field he aspired to be in at some point..shit's scary yo

[@llid45]

Guys the movie Taliesin was talking about is a prime movie on Amazon.

Is Tal wearing a Phantom of the Paradise Death Records shirt!! Omfg YES!

[@SkiesTurnedGrey]

I love how they all just completely ignored the place cards.

[@CriticalScope]

+sedriensmorgasbord they actually placed them like that. They thought it was funny to switch them :-) Sadly enough I had to cut those 20 seconds from the footage because the convention was playing copyrighted music and we don't want our video to be removed for copyright infringement

[@SkiesTurnedGrey]

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying! :)

[@Dreadnaught1985]

Can just imagine Matt dancing about to "they call me big papa" Oh yeah!

Are you collecting timestamps for a video? (I wouldn't be mad about it!)

[@mayaenglish5424]

@@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEll I've never made one before but maybe. Honestly I was doing it because I noticed that no one else had and I find it shocking that in this fandom of hyper-obsessive crazies no one has made a compilation of them yet lol. I'm sort of leaving a bread crumb trail for myself (or anyone else who wants to use them). I'd be very happy if someone who knew what they were doing did it though! 😁

[@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEll]

@@mayaenglish5424 I feel you! I have ideas for like five Taliesin-centric compilations that nobody's made yet, lol. I have no idea how to make those (nor powerful enough gear, I think) either. But hey, making lists of sources and timestamps is a start, right? ;)

[@Loser-lh8di]

When the current CR campaign comes to a close and the new one starts I was hoping they would add Brian Wayne Foster to the cast. I know they won't because he isn't a voice actor but he knows all of them really well and has a great rapport with the cast. His playful antagonism and smarmy personality would be a welcome addition to an already splendid cast. Just wishful thinking, I know.

[@aswadchowdhury3271]

Akiras Crow No I agree. I love Brian

[@CriticalScope]

+Akiras Crow it would be nice to at least have him as a guest on the show :-)

[@haylox669]

Akiras Crow Yes!

[@ThePurbleKing]

I wouldn't enjoy that at all. He's a really nice guy, but he seems to try way too hard to make jokes that don't really land unless you find failing at making "dad humor" joke genuinely enjoyable. It seems like that's what he'd spend every single episode doing. Sam works as the "Class clown" of the group because he is genuinely funny. Travis works because he can have some wonderful comedic timing. I think having him as a guest would be fine, though I probably wouldn't enjoy the episode. I don't really enjoy Talks Machina because he tries to make jokes too much. However, when he's just talking normally I enjoy it. But there's no way he'd spend most of the episode not making jokes.

[@BiggySn1p3r]

I never understand why some moderators are even there. "They don't need no stinking moderators".

[@refragerator]

Because someone has to be in charge (read: responsible) for what happens in case of emergency, to maintain a certain order, etc. It's a requirement placed on panels usually by the organizers of such events like Cons.

[@BiggySn1p3r]

Ok, I get that, but she doesn't really need to be there asking the questions. If it was Brian I get that, but Matt has had a lot of panels "by himself". It's Critical Role, they don't really need any help with this sort of thing.

[@TheBloodypimp]

Well to be honest. There are moments where the discition seems to tapper off... and it's a moderator's job to pick up on and loft the conversation again.

[@ElizabethNafziger]

The freelancer / self-employed life as described by Talisin - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGSonouAqdKGqbMm21s ...and I used to describe it to my friends with real jobs as it's it's *trading the illusion of security for the illusion of free*. Its you can either have the illusion that you have a job that's not going anywhere; that's going to be there for the rest of your life. Or you can have the illusion that you can do anything you like and leave your house and go on vacation anytime you like because you don't have a boss - you're your own boss. And your office is just your house and your bedroom. There's no reason to ever leave your bedroom because you've got work to do; and sleep is really a bad use of it in your office. Really, why are you sleeping; weekends are for people who have real jobs...
