The Legend of Vox Machina 2x10 Reaction | The Killbox

[@Genbor]

The slow realization about "make the bald man cry" is almost as good as your sudden realization that Kaylie is his daughter! xD

[@queenannsrevenge100]

Yeah, at first I was like “think about it for a minute….” And a couple minutes later, “yep, she got it.” 😂

[@InkyPetrel]

I love that the first thing Grog does with the gauntlets' power is break Zanror's chain. A small thing, but a great way to show where his heart lies, he doesn't seek power or control.

[@Angelderbat]

Only Matt knew that Kaylie existed, and he sprung that on Sam/Scanlan almost exactly how it happened in the animated series! It’s a great moment, with everyone’s faces going on a WILD journey as it slowly clicks what is happening and what Kaylie is saying.

[@phoenixdzk]

Scanlan saying 'haha and then I disguised us all as cows' actually happened in the stream. Someone was stealing cows so they made themselves look like bait, and it's one of the funniest moments on stream

[@markamanic]

Especially when Keyleth turned herself into a giant eagle to fly after the monster, but still had the spell on her that made her look like a cow. So someone casts fly on the party and now you have a bunch of cows flying after a monster.

[@nickscholz6559]

That was one of my favorite episodes with the cows. Not just the humor but they dealt with some of the groups issues and ethics.

[@phoenixdzk]

@@nickscholz6559 oh yes! The chat was fecking toxic that day. Keyleth's trying to reason with the roc's caretaker and the chat's yelling: Someone shut her up! Just kill it! I didn't agree with Key on a lot of things but that episode just showed how good she could be when she put her foot down

[@Thinkingmakesitso.]

[@phoenixdzk]

@Thinkingmakesitso. campaign 1, early 20s, 22 I think. Called Consequences and Cows. Just google vox Moochina and it should show up

Context for CRs origins. Sam and Liam had a podcast. During an episode Liam wished to play an RPG for his birthday. Sam used his connections in the VO industry to make it happen. Now we all get to enjoy the Best. Present. Ever.

[@leonielson7138]

Laura Bailey had the same birthday and wanted to play a rogue, but the game was Liam's birthday gift, so she decided to play a ranger instead, and they decided to be twins. When deciding on names, Liam sent an email to the wrong address, getting in touch with another VO, who was also a DM, who explained that he ran a Dragonlance campaign and half-elves weren't allowed.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

You left out the part were word got around among the VO community in L.A. that a bunch of them had an RPG game going. Felicia Day got wind of that, invited them to play a session live on the internet, to which they all laughed and said: "Yeah sure, but no one is going to watch that." The rest is history.

[@FFSBRct]

@@leonielson7138 Not trying to be THAT guy, but...being that guy. Matt Colville is not quite a VO, he's a writer and worked for many years in the video game industry, so he's worked quite closely with VOs like Matt and Liam. His campaign setting is also not Dragonlance, it's his home-brew setting of Orden. Otherwise, yeah, this is always an amazing tidbit of history to share!

[@CriticalCoen]

As far as I know, Sam didnt have anything do to with bringing together that first session. It was Liam and Matt. Liam mentioned to Matt that he hasnt played DnD in quite a long while when he found out Matt played DnD and as a birthday present, Matt offered to do a one shot. Which turned out to be the birth of Critical Role.

[@David_Blake91]

" Sam used his connections in the VO industry to make it happen..." This part is not true. Like at all. Back in 2012 Matt and Liam were working on Resident Evil 6 (Liam was the Voice Director, and Matt voiced Leon) and they talked about their hobbies during lunch breaks and stuffs, and thats how D&D came up. Matt was running multiple games arround that time, while Liam hasn't played since he was a teen. To get material for his podcast with Sam (where the theme was, that they were trying out new things before each episode) and since his birthday was also coming up Liam asked Matt to run a one-shot. It was actually he, who invited Sam, Laura and Travis (since Laura was also working on RE6), while Matt brought in Marisha and Taliesin, since they were both more experienced with the game. They found out that Liam and Laura has the same birthday and thats why Vax and Vex became twins. Ashley (and probably Orion) joined later, when it became an actual Campaign.

[@wrytar7717]

It's so great to see how this story clicks with you as someone who didn't watch the campaign. It shows that it is indeed in itself a great story! Oh, and BTW: You really don't need to worry about how to correctly pronounce Umbrasyl. Matt called him the "Florida Dragon" recently, so ... there you go. 😂

[@pallenda]

I love that too! It show that it's just straight up a great show.

[@Ironoclasty]

The dragon is pronounced "AA-SS-WHOE-LL."

[@wrytar7717]

@@Ironoclasty That works!

[@Ozgarthefighter]

Kaylee being Scanlan's daughter was 100% Matt's idea. Sam was completely blindsided by the reveal, which happened almost exactly as shown, and ran with it. Matt does a brilliant job of incorporating a players backtory into the game, adding some details to subvert expectations and surprise his players.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I just went and watched it! 🤣 Everyone realizing it and then Travis was last and hiding his face in his shirt 😂

[@DarkElfPaladin]

That "don't you touch my pike" line hit real hard for me.

[@Allantitan]

For some reason I thought he said friends and had to rewatch the episode a few times 😂

[@DarkElfPaladin]

@@Allantitan it does sound like friends, but he is yelling kinda incomprehensibly there which makes it hard to tell. The subtitles at least say "my pike" and even though they are wrong sometimes I'm going to believe that's what it is cause I really like their bond.

[@RvBDopp]

If I'm not mistaken, when Vex drops Grog in the campaign, it was one of more than a few times that Travis rolls a perfect timed Nat 20. It was very *chef's kiss*

The Kaylie reveal from the campaign was as chocking as the show one) the table reaction was absolutely priceless

[@mikephillips1043]

This is the episode we learn that in Real life Scanlan is based off Eminem haha. Scanlan shorthalt = slim shady. Kaylee = Hailey. Dr Dranzell = dr dre. The legnths Sam goes to troll is insane.

[@elfbreath]

Yup! In the campaign it was Scanlan that was discovered by Dr. Dranzel and joined his Spectacular Traveling Troupe. Kaylee joined long after he had left. Sam (Scanlan) would even call Dranzel "Dr. Dra" in the campaign.

[@Logan_Baron]

The great part is that Sam built all the back story with S and S being like M and M, (Marshal Mathers) and slim shady and Dr D. and all the other Eminem stuff, but Matt sprung the Kaylee being his daughter on him, and Sam didn't catch the hint that Matt played into the theme. Matt is a sneaky devil.

[@JackOfBlackPhoenix]

This is the episode I was waiting for since the show began, my expectations were high but holy hell they somehow exceeded them! Instantly became my favorite episode of this show and it might even be in my top 10 favorite episodes of all time if I'm perfectly honest... from the writing (it feels like not a single second was wasted), to animation, to music, to just sheer epicness of the fight, I honestly don't even know what it would take to make it any better. 10/10 from me, both for the episode itself and for the reaction!

[@AAAndrew]

I love that this show is fantasy animation, but it is also about adults, not teenagers or a coming of age story, but instead adults with adult issues, but it also has so much heart and the friends that we made along the way. But it's for someone like me, an adult. And Sam's songs just kill it every time.

[@phoenixdzk]

Biggest moment at the table was 'For strongjaw!' The reaction at the table was the biggest I've ever seen when they confirmed Kevdak's kill

[@thunderspear2251]

That "how do you wanna do this" was one of the most hype reactions I've ever seen from that table. Such an epic moment perfectly translated

Gilmore is a Runechild Sorcerer. When he uses certain kinds of magic, glowing runes appear on his skin. I don't know if they'll ever bring that into the series, but it's a nice nod.

[@jasonmkc7797]

You’re right. Allura’s spell was convenient, to be sure. There is a spell in the game that both she and Gilmore would have access to that literally shows you a person (or a place if you prefer). Also, given how often Titmouse and the writers want to split the party for their convenience, it’s nice the spell is “real”.

Yes! The Kaylie reveal was almost exactly the same in the campaign and was also a shock then!

It definitely didn't disappoint!

[@sandorfalusi3486]

Yaaay! You did it! At 23:55 the "Umbrasyl" was absolutely accurate!

[@doug3691]

I thought you might like that song! Loved your reactions, as usual. A note from the game play: Travis had almost zero health (HP) as he dropped to attack Kevdak at the end of the fight; numerically, he generally has substantially more than anyone else in the group. So he basically had just the one chance to kill him -- and so, as you can guess, no pressure. So he rolls his 20-sided die for the attack . . . and it's a natural 20! And that means extra damage -- a critical hit. And after all of the dice are rolled for the damage, and all of the modifiers added on to that, it is just enough to take out the big guy! (Matt later revealed that at several key points this fight could have gone very differently -- not all of them included in this shortened version of the fight.)

[@eveninglion137]

Been really fun seeing you get into this with no idea whats gonna happen in each episode, makes the crazy moments very entertaining for us in the comments. And with how they've reworked some events and brought in some stuff from the pre-stream days, even critters get neat surprises in these episodes. Matt totally has a thing for cliffhangers. It feels like every few streams he ends on one, and the rest of the cast (and especially Ashley) says something to the effect of "can we just play for another hour or five?". Funny to see how the show has maintained that effect with how they're pacing the events. Also cannot wait for the Mighty Nein show, that's a whole other bundle of pain and laughs and chaos that will be amazing to see adapted. Truly, Liam asked for the best birthday present that year.

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

That was like a Dethklok music video. 🤘

[@Quintzal]

I'm not sure if the full streams are still up on Geek & Sundry, but in the first year, as the show picked up steam, they started getting art, gifts, and letters from viewers. "Critmis" was every week for a long time because players were showering them in stuff. Amongst that stuff, btw, was a 5 pack of elder dragon models for Matt, which he absolutely lit up for. That was the origin of the Chroma Conclave. They had killed a blue dragon pre-stream, so he left that model out of the plot. I think the reason that they have such a stellar reputation with longtime fans came out in some of the letters they received. Numerous letters indicating that viewers were in deep depressions, some suicidal, before finding the stream. They found that watching them play together was like being in the room with a group of friends having a good time. People started to meet up through fan pages and make connections. A lot of that early narrative has gotten left behind. They used to do updates on charity work regularly and at a certain point they asked viewers to stop sending them gifts and to donate to charities instead. During the first Campaign, at some point a taxidermied bear appears behind them. Someone sent it to them as a stand in for Trinket and it stayed there for the rest of the campaign. Some of this is in the KZbin videos@ but there is a ton that wasn't included.

The whole of campaign 1 is still up on Geek & Sundry, and the playlist is on the critical role channel.

Vox Machina is a very on the nose D&D team with all the trope characters, edge lord rogue, horny bard, etc. But with the Mighty Nein, they really went for more unique character and class choices like Nott’s nervous goblin rogue or Jester’s trickster tefling cleric. They made some very interesting characters and I actually prefer Marisha’s Monk character Beauregard over her Druid character Keyleth so far. The characters really interact with each other and grew in interesting ways. My prediction is Jester will be your favorite character. Calling it now!

ITS and he re-united with them them(including meeting their new member Kaylee) after coming back from Whitestone. An episode or 2 before the Conclave attacked. This included a scene where he took Kaylee to a room thinking they'd get it on and then she revealed he was her father. He did tell her to strike him with her sword, and she found she couldn't.

You should watch the campaign clip of Kevdak's death and Grog's death defying attack. Amazing!

We critters love being coy and giving trollish smiles towards people who don't know what's coming and we do. Cause really, it's fun and D&D players and especially DMs get to savor knowing whats coming and the emotional response that will ensue. Shock, horror, laughter, unbridled joy, watching people experience that for the first time reminds us of when we felt that the first time and now we get to share it. Also many of us grew up having seen Avatar; The last Airbender and knowing THAT episode that destroys everyone. If you know, you know. Edit: And it it pronounced "Umbilical."

Of course we're welcoming you into the fold, you *are* one of us now. We all started somewhere and didn't know everything when we first came into the fandom. That's half the point of this animated series, sharing this incredible story and characters and world with people who either can't or won't sit through hundreds of hours of the game, which is fair as it can be a lot to get through. If you actually want some wholesome metal, look up the Japanese band called Babymetal. Teenage Japanese girls who discovered metal and made a band that performs it but does so with positive messages and lyrics (albeit in Japanese).

You mentioned that they wouldn't show Pike's hair color being different for no reason. It is possible they are simply doing that as a nod to the Critters who are familiar with the RPG stream, just like Gilmore's shop (when they first go there for help with the blue dragon) contains an item that is a nod to the Mighty Nein.

To be fair with the Keyleth/Vax moment, he had really bad timing in the first season at the Sun Tree so I guess they're tied, and if it helps it's "um bruh sill" lol

The Trinket Trinket? I'm calling it that from now on.

Thank you for wonderful emotions. I really liked episode 10. Every man has a moment when it's time to become a father, especially such a cute daughter)) It will be interesting what will happen next. There was so much blood today, I hope there will be more heartbreaking moments in the next episode.
