[@jessie-ht7bc]

@@__mindflayer__ Thats how a barbarian died in one of my campaigns. Saddest most emotional shit ever. Said he could take it, we were 8 months into the campaign (most of ours take a year), by now the other players had learned he could indeed take most things. What they didn't know was that he was already very low hp.

[@__mindflayer__]

@@jessie-ht7bc It must of been an glorious and honorable death.

As someone who has loved dnd most of my life but discovered Critical Role wayyyy too late to catch up, I’ve been loving Vox Machina, and really appreciating these comparison videos!

[@rictoectol9814]

Honestly, because of these “Hopefully” more people will watch the first Campaign. Honestly its the best of the 2 completed campaigns.

[@BeinIan]

I caught up by listening to the podcast while I was working, driving, cleaning, etc. I basically replaced music with CR for a while, and it went by pretty quick. After every couple episodes I'd go on KZbin to check Flando's timestamp comments and watch the highlights.

[@Pinocchiyo]

It’s never too late. I hopped on season one at literally the final battle, season 2 I fell in love with the whole thang, I’m slowly catching up on season one I was luckily a head of the season

[@TaRatTinCan]

I just started recently on campaign 3, its really fun and definitely not too late to catch up

[@gaffawebber]

I've been watching them! Almost to episode 20!

[@deweyck6820]

I like how Talesin is goofily singing this chant thing in the live game, and the sound production just throws in this epic full on choir chorus vibe in there

[@datmanydocris]

As someone who almost exclusively plays barbarians and paladins, we will always say we can take it. Even if we have 1 hp left, we will get hit with whatever it takes if it protects the party.

[@captin3149]

@@datmanydocris Any hit points above zero means we're ready for action!

[@paulyguitary7651]

I paused during the the attack to see if there were any phallic shaped sunbeams and I’m sad to report there was not. Amazing scene tho.

[@Zarala2010]

The background chorus really gives me Nier Automata vibes and that's a great thing seeing as the game had stunning soundtracks.

[@CroobieLetter]

Literally the first thing I thought when I heard that VM got a show, was if they would include the Keylith/Pike bag of dicks. Also dissappointed.

[@theirishviking9278]

@@Zarala2010 what else would you expect from a game that created a language for its soundtrack to sing in

[@Butterzzzz]

Honestly as someone who has seen the tv show before the show itself, I am so glad they made it the way they did, the weight and epicness of it is breathtaking

[@Nargon46]

So satisfying both ways 😭👏 And out of all of them, they were definitely afraid of the little gnome and the druid.

[@Beanedict_C]

I’ve watched this so many times and it makes me tear up every time. And that MUSIC. After Pike’s voice and then the driving beat and the choir. I just can’t contain the emotion.

[@minniedmezz3163]

Keyleth used Solarbeam! It was super effective!

[@strawhat192]

YES!! 👏🏻😆

[@baileysauerwein4192]

When the original theme song sample started playing the tears started flowing. So amazing original and new.

[@amber7368]

The music for Keyleth during this part is my favorite track in the whole show 🤩

[@davidcurry5240]

Anyone who watched the live watch parties remembers Matt losing it during the Sunbeam part, and I was right there with him. I am a huge sucker for stuff like that. Big emotional payoffs in that episode.

[@darzog666]

Probably the most epic and impactful scene in the the show... brilliantly written and acted, beautifully illustrated and animated.

[@Ali.Ahme.D.Khan.]

Make that the most epic and impactful scene in the show SO FAR. Season two has been epic and can't wait for a future season 3

[@SightUnseen555]

@@Ali.Ahme.D.Khan. I think this is my second favorite now after The Killbox. "Do Not Go Far From Me" being a close 3rd.

[@LadyWildlower]

I only just noticed the callback to the *original* Critical Role theme in the soundtrack for the LoVM moment; it does a few bars of Jason Charles Miller's original theme for the show before transitioning into the "Your Turn to Role" theme. Chills.

[@toshomni9478]

Points to them for keeping the hugging in. What a brilliant adaption. Thanks for the video.

[@torav8343]

Ive never really been into DnD but vox machina really sold me on how awesome it can be

[@hawkthorn33]

Both of these shows are so engaging. I had caught up at that point, so could watch it live, and was so good. But the tie in, for all the things, in that Kiki moment was such a nice pay off! I can not describe how much I want to see season 2, episode 1, because of all the things.

[@betinaherlein8970]

Well, it seems Im going to cry everytime I watch it, cool

[@kahlanwilliams267]

Good to hear I'm not the only one. I well up and then pike's voice hits, the music drops and tears just come!

[@hawkname1234]

Dude - these translation videos are SO GOOD

[@kadenring7158]

Love these comparison videos.

[@monsterchic162]

Honestly I played in a campaign that had a very similar climax. One of our players had a personal grudge against the big bad and our barbarian grappled him so our sorcerers could go all out, encouraging us to hit him if it meant taking that b*stard out. The barbarian’s player got inspiration for the freaking epic delivery. And now I’m wondering how much that player and our dm took after critical role for that backstory and arc.

[@Overused_Toothbrush]

Nothing wrong with a little inspiration to add some flair, lol. As long as it wasn’t too bad.

[@AlasdairGR]

This is the true Critter hug of death.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Just gonna say it... This episode is SERIOUS DBZ vibes, what with Pike's energy quarrel with Delilah, and then Kiki Spirit-Bombing Sylas into straight oblivion. And the music going along with the action? So, so freaking amazing. I love how Travis, being a huge DBZ fan, encouraged this kind of anime action in this episode. So good...! Edit: I just *hope beyond hope* that they animate the fight between VM and Kev'Dak (Go watch Critical Role, Campaign 1, Episodes 54-56 -- _trust me!_ ), and how that whole epic fight went down. Some people like the Briarwood Arc. I _love_ the Kev'Dak fight!

[@MnJiman]

For sure that is going to happen.

[@christopherlee7334]

Good news!

[@HelplessTeno]

Vox Machina is one of my favorite pieces of media. I don't play DnD but I love the concept and turning into a show that's more consumable for someone like me is fantastic.

[@Cheesercake]

I love these origin moments so much, from someone that doesn't have time for the Critical Role campaign, thank you! But also why did these stop? I need more!

[@BlackflameWanderer]

As a DM I havent had a moment like this yet with my players. But as a player I did. I was helping some newbies learn and I played a dumbass named Bob the Barbarian Berserker. He basically smashed kobolds into one another, killed a dragon with a kobold corspe and because "Ooo a weapon i can swing!" He literally grabs a flying sword and bashes an animated armor with it breaking all four swords and killing the armor this way. Anyway in the middle of that I had the bright idea after getting downed by a female bandit captain only to rise up again to grapple her and let my cleric, and rogue comrades wail on her and get the kill. So satisfying since I got a nat 20 on the grapple check.

In a few of these comparisons I wish they had stuck closer to the rough and desperate source material. Like the bards solo attack on the mansion, in the show it's all luck, daring and potions, but in the game it was running away a lot and then smart use of limited spells but these scene was brilliantly translated. Stunning!

[@VegetaLF7]

It's one spell that she can fire multiple times. She's maintaining Sunbeam the entire time as a concentration spell and firing the beams off with her actions.
