“The Legend of the …. Of The Legend of Vox Machina” Reaction!!

Go behind the scenes with us to see the making of The Legend of Vox Machina!

[@Jaxom35x]

In fact the character (Sprigg) Darin plays in Critical Role is the same character he played way back when he played D&D with Matts mother.

[@Jaxom35x]

You have to watch all the different openings.

[@xBatmanxBroncofanx]

Watch the trailer after season 2, it is a fun campy vibe but I totally understand wanting the suspense! Also, yes Taliesin Jaffe has an amazing voice, I made a playlist of the Mame Drop epusodes and a couple other everything is content that he is in that I use as a sleep compilation 😅

[@havenomouth]

They put so much work into fleshing out Emon. I am really looking forward to seeing more of it in season two!!!

[@FandomFuse]

*sweats in knowing what was flying toward us at the end of season 1* ~Nicole

[@easterslice]

Don't watch the trailer. It's better if you let all the surprising moments surprise you. :)

[@Juice1984]

So much this. Don't watch the trailer nor the sneak peak until after. It was useful to ease Critters' hunger for more content back then.

[@FandomFuse]

That’s what I was thinking! Glad you agree! ~Nicole

[@CarBENbased]

You guys should watch one of the compilation videos of their reaction to the kickstarter taking off. That first livestream where they realize the community just blew their initial goals out of the water is so heartwarming. :D

[@gmhchaos]

I am also.. very excited for M9!!

[@munkeysama]

#TeamNoTrailer, but do watch the recap song!

[@pheebo42]

28:19 That’s true! Darin and Matt’s mum were in the same DnD party back in the day

[@OptionZero]

Season 3 announced for the fall and production documents show seasons 4 and 5 are in production. W00t! Some story threads will need that time to play out

[@zippomage]

i really hope that we get the final arc of the campaign too. Some of my favorite moments.

[@Ozgarthefighter]

​@@zippomageWe absolutely will. Amazon has put a lot of faith in CR.

[@Magdahlana]

OMG right away??? Bidet! I made it and i love both of you.

[@InkyPetrel]

KZbin HELPFULLY didn't show me this until today, even though I'm subscribed, and watched ALL of your other VM videos, because the algorithm is trash. But YAY glad you had fun with this! I remember how hyped it made everyone before the show dropped :D It seems like Matt has been all about collaboration, right from the early days, and tried to bring in other people when he could, and lift everyone around him up. I know that the internet is very good at putting people on a pedestal, (to their detriment, holding them to an impossible standard and then tearing them down when they can't meet it) but Matt seems, by all accounts, to be a genuinely decent human. It's nice to see good things happen for him, because he always tries to spread that good around. At this point I'm pretty sure I've watched most of the things the CR folk have been involved in (Special Interest gonna Special Interest, lol. CR moved into my brain in 2020 and accidentally became half of my personality overnight. Nothing I can do about it, brain just does that sometimes :p but honestly ,I'm a better person for learning from all of them, I found CR right when I REALLY needed it. [/overshare]) and even with all of the people he's worked with, and been interviewed by, and run games for, and played with, and who have talked about him and CR over the last 10 years, I've never watched a single soul (who has actually met him, sad internet clowns wailing about the Mercer Effect don't count) have anything but respect and affection for him. He's *always * described as "kind", which is about the most badass thing you can be in these times, imo. :) The amount of thought and love poured into the music is just so damned cool. I LOVE that the twins are a waltz :D Could go on about the music for AGES but this is already too long. Darrin De Paul playing such a loathsome character is always so funny, because he seems to be such a sweet person. He was at the table for a couple of one shots and it was a real joy to watch. And his roleplay bought everyone to tears as well, so hecking skilled. As a VA he has one of those rare chameleon voices that can change so much that it's difficult to recognise, very cool. Can't wait for season 2!

[@johnobrien7562]

I never thought when watching Mr. Mom (with Michael Keaton) and laughing at the scene with the kid and the blanket that he would grow up to be such a huge part of my media consumption. Also, the trope namer for the Woobie! Darin did play D&D with Matt's mom at a Burt Reynolds acting seminar sort of thing. That Sam would later have Scanlan assume the name of Burt Reynolds Esquire in game just adds to the fun. Matt is one of those people who just should be protected at all costs. Fortunately he has Marisha.

[@seankennedy4548]

Great reaction as always. Told you they were awesome. Nichole. Wil have to look up your books 😀

[@cuccohaHA]

You should also make sure to watch some of the comparisons between moments in the campaign and in the show!

[@wildbronco038]

Matt, Liam, and Ashley all have personal KZbin channels that have a few small video clips from the original home game (some of them shown in stuff like this, but I think there's some that haven't).

[@ReverseUnicorn]

Ashley was in Growing Pains, a very famous sitcom in its time. And in the Avengers scene, though most of her scenes were cut. Talisen was in the movie Explorers.

[@sandorfalusi3486]

RECAP RECAP RECAP RECAP! The Recap is a MUST! You can skip the trailer though if you don't like watching trailers. I watched it, because I know the story, but Nicole doesn't.

[@FandomFuse]

Recap is happening for SURE ~Nicole

[@JoshuaSmith1986]

Am I the only one that didn't know Nikki wrote books?! I'm a dedicated reader. I feel like this was hidden from me! I looked those first two books up and bought them! I had no idea! And you say stop it?! I need to know these things!

[@FandomFuse]

🫣 ahh, I hope you like them 😅 ~Nicole

[@stevenclarke4067]

Growing Pains was the show Ashley was in with Leo and Alan Thicke (not Robin) and Tracy Gold who played the princess in Spaceballs.

[@Eaglefellow1]

Almost correct. Yes, Alan was Robin's father. Princess Vespa was played by Daphne Zuniga, not Tracy Gold.

[@stevenclarke4067]

@@Eaglefellow1 Holy crap your right..they looked alike back then..didnt have Google back then and never thought to check when I did 😆

[@jayogilvie8353]

just a tangent. See if you can find Sam and Liam's first ... on playing with matt mercer for the first time.

[@emilymary5831]

Great reaction I can't wait to see more

[@yungncraft2507]

I saw a screenshot from twitter, someone said they saw seasons 4 and 5 on a SAG-AFTRA production list 👀👀👀

[@pheebo42]

Don’t watch the trailer! It’s spoilers! Watch the recap but not the trailer x

[@hhylobates4098]

19:42 Oh you like Tina Guo? Good news, she has an active youtube channel with a whole lot of music videos where she dresses up quite *extravagantly* to match the theme of all kinds of amazing music; Zelda, Skyrim, Dune, Wonder Woman. Things from major productions shes worked on (numerous Hans Zimmer projects) or just many things she likes and wants to pay tribute to.

[@CarBENbased]

I was today years old when I realized those books were written by Nicole! I'll have to check them out! Any chance they'll be getting an audio version?

[@FandomFuse]

No release date as of right now, but there is a goal to have one completed! ~Nicole

[@elbruces]

All of this begs the question, how do you feel about "Darling Nikki" by Prince?

[@FandomFuse]

Never heard it. But just looked it up, and I’m so glad nobody ever sang this one to me 😂😂 ~Nicole
