Critical Role - Cuteness Meltdown "Whats your favourite Monster?" MASSIVE SPOILER!!!

From San Diego CC, Talks Machina takes questions from thousands of Critters, One of whom causes a cuteness meltdown for the gang.
Watch it here: • Video
Critical Role is made by Geek and Sundry...I think...Although Now it seems to be made by Critical Role, they bought their own studio, so yay. They own it and often monetize my vids through youtube, All ad revenue goes to them, so If you click an advert or two, More Critters are spawned into existence. If you remember your life before CR, then be sure to tell your friends who don't know about it yet, CR is not something that needs to be secret, Go forth and spread the Gospel of the Mighty Nine and Vox Machina.

I have a feeling Liam at the start at that exchange was thinking "How the hell do your parents let you watch our show?"

[@NerdyAngel1989]

TheOffkilter I don’t remember what it was but I watched a video one of the others said something to Sam. He cursed when they were told not to because kids were in the audience. His response was “if they’ve seen the show they’ve heard me say worse” 😂

Sam: a fish hooked on her sugar radiance. Marisha: instant goo, a snowman under the warmest of suns. Liam: “this is for me, do it for her. This is for me, HOLD IT TOGETHER FOR HER! HOOOLLLLD IIIIIITTTT…” Matt: You aren’t escaping your fate. You will succumb to the innocence.

TFW you realize this video is about your own child! I’m so happy that this was on my home screen. Thank you so much for recording it. I was taking care of our other child and missed the whole panel. In case anyone is wondering, she hasn’t seen the show, just the opening and a few animatics. We’ve played DnD though and she’s read the Monster Manual too.

[@TPBurrow]

If this is your child, would you be willing to share a picture of their cosplay? Many Critters would love to see them.

Not to distract from how adorable this is, but can we talk about Matt's expression when Liam called him his favorite monster? Because that was slightly terrifying 😂

[@Iakarie]

Oh shit, yeah it is a little bit 🤣

[@OriginalCreatorSama]

I read Matt's lips when he leaned in to liam initially and i think he says "say matt" which would explain why he looks so excited watching liam's face to see if he takes the suggestion.

[@hp2xp425]

All that was missing was a slow zoom and tense sound effect.

[@enigma1326]

Be honest, Matt is probably everyone's favorite monster from Critical Role

[@chrisrudolf9839]

Yeah, that reaction was epic. He immediately channeled the disturbing facial expressions and body language he does when he plays a hag or similar creature.

[@brianbarfield7138]

Matt's just sitting there like "you better say something I made, or Caleb's gonna die tomorrow."

[@bluedragon3657]

Would somebody give me context? What happened and who was censored?

[@toni_275]

​​​​@@bluedragon3657 The Person blurred is Brian Foster, who worked for CR, but no longer does. One of the reasons being abuse allegations made by several coworkers including his now ex fiancee Ashley Johnson (hence the "monster" reference a previous commenter made). Since his depature they no longer have the rights to a bunch of content he actively appeared in (idk legal details tho) so I assume OP is blurring him to keep the video safe from take down attempts or bc people no longer enjoy seeing him. Hope that helps, have good day!
