[@sombrashadow0013]

If you guys were curious, Lance Reddick finished all of his lines before he passed. In fact, he passed away the week after he finished his lines, according to the Critical Role cast. Rest in peace to an absolute legend

[@frostdragon7135]

This is actually not the first time we are visiting a new continent in the show. We began the show in Tal'dorei. That's where Emon and Whitestone is, as well as Westruun which is where Grog fought Kevdak in season 2. In season 2 we also visited Issylra, which is where Vasselheim, Pyrah, as well as the sphinx's lair is located. And now we just visited Marquet. So we have been to three continents in the show so far at this point.

[@anathem9982]

Just to clairfy, Percy invented guns. However, when we first met Ripley in season 1, she had a weird, messed up prototype of a gun in her bag, which is now the one that Percy uses after Scanlan threw his Pepperbox into the acid at the end of the season. That's why Ripley made that comment about ''Perfecting her prototype''

[@SebastianWeinberg]

When we met Dr. Anna Ripley in season 1, she was missing a hand, and in her bag Percy found a blown-up four-barrel gun. The implication was that Ripley had tried to copy his invention before, and had blown off her own hand. At the end of the season, after Percy's original six-shooter (named "The List" in the campaign) was destroyed, we can see him working on Ripley's broken gun prototype. He's shown using the finished version (named "Retort" in the campaign) in season 2. I _believe_ that the Retort was described as being closer to a modern revolver, with a single, fixed barrel and four rotating chambers. Also in season 2, we saw that Ripley had replaced her hand with a mechanical one, and she worked together with Umbrasyl (the acid dragon) for a while. Now we find out that she continued her work on copying Percy's invention of handheld firearms, and apparently allied with Orthax. Marquet is the _third_ continent that Vox Machina visits in this show. They went to the northern continent Issylra, last season, where Vasselheim and Pyrah are located. Also a new location was added to Issylra for the show: the Rimecleft, where they met the male sphinx Kamaljiori. This replaced the Frostweald (which is on Tal'Dorei) from the campaign, in order to cut the amount of continent-hopping the group does. The design of Ank'Harel was indeed based on northern Africa and the middle east.

There are two moments I wait for in the year, a new season of The Legend of Vox Machina and the first batch of reactions of Blindwave of The Legend of Vox Machina, this season gets nuts guys! so excited for the following weeks seeing your videos!

[@thedarkknight2221]

RIP Lance Reddick! You will live forever in our hearts and our memories.

[@Wolfking99-x4r]

RIP to a legend

[@unicornburger16]

So glad he was able to finish his work here before he passed. We’re truly lucky to have him in this show.

[@Wolfking99-x4r]

This the Percy Jackson series and upcoming John Wick spinoff movie is the last time we get to hear and see him

[@oswin-xd2gc]

Love that jake's wearing the chetney hoodie

[@Graelcase]

I'm glad BG3 has given them some more insight into the mechanics behind the show. One of the small joys of this show is remembering the abilities and rolls that led to moments in the game and how they've been adapted.

[@Lusiggy]

12:56 Calvin Laughed at the "It's high noon"

[@InimitableAde]

I love that Jake and Calvin understood the assignment!

[@pwalmsley9]

Don't worry Jake, the show diverges a LOT from the campaign as they get deeper into the season! As someone who also watched the campaign a long time ago, there were many surprises!

[@unicornburger16]

I was shocked at how much they changed or swapped events around but they made it work.

[@Kimbrell]

They definitely made it work. I know there are some loud upset fans but I've loved the changes. They make sense for TV. Trying to make DnD rules make sense for TV would be a difficult task.

[@unicornburger16]

@@Kimbrell yeah and the changes make sense in the context that this is an actual tv show and not just watching the campaign. A lot more drama this way, even for those of us who’ve watched the campaign.

[@frostdragon7135]

Worth noting since you were talking about their classes. Vax is indeed primarily a rogue, but interestingly in the campagin at this point being the champion of the matron of ravens he has also started taking paladin levels.

[@jamesfoster9613]

Vax is also multiclassed paladin by this point, due to his connection to the RAven Queen.

[@LtSarai]

I have been CHOMPING AT THE BIT for these guys' reaction!!!

[@jasonmarbach]

In the intro with Vax’s infiltration, it’s fun because fire is a Dex save (so of course he can dodge those) but ice is a different save (Con, I think) and Vax isn’t as OP in that department. Just a neat way they visualized that, I thought

[@emmybee5189]

Also because he's a high level rogue he has evasion which completely avoids all damage from a successful dex save but since a white dragon breath is a con save, successful or not he takes damage either way

[@JirkaKunst]

Also, ice attacks are super effective against flying types.

[@Balkoth07]

25:50 Ripley had a failed prototype in her bag that Percy took away from her. Scanlan threw the Pepperbox into acid and so Percy used that prototype to build his new gun at the end of S1.

[@KikiSohma]

Get ready. So far this season has been a doozy. Cabal's Ruin (the cloak) has been animated so well. I am so looking forward to your reactions, but especially Jake's to see how much he recognises and how much has diverged from the campaign. There is so much to gush about in the nine eps that have released so far and three more eps to come next Thursday. So much to look forward to for critters and newbies alike. So excited for this reaction!

[@AMoniqueOcampo]

Brace yourselves, y'all. This season is gonna get angsty! Get your tissues and chocolate and a blanket!

[@WizRedDeath]

Excited to see you guys get into S3, it’s been one hell of a month for Critters. I hope that you guys can react to show to animation comparisons like I’ve seen other people do.

[@FluffyJackie]

Perfect timing, just when I wanted to see if you had uploaded your reaction yet~

[@Shelma32Reactions]

This season is sooo good so far! Been looking forward to your reactions :)

[@michaelkemmet834]

Huh. I've probably watched this episode over half a dozen times between the initial watch and reactions, and this is the first time I noticed there's a reference to the infamous "It's high noon".

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

So much good animation for you guys to be catching up on this year, Demon Slayer from a few months back, this, and as of yesterday, ReZero S3’s dub has begun.

[@peterpariyo473]

Imagine if one person had all the vestiges. Wearing the armor of the mother of ravens' champion with the Dawn plate over the chest. Ripley's cloak vestige over the armor and grog's strength gauntlets with Scanlan's sword strapped on the side and Vex'ahlia's bow tucked away on the back. I think that sounds badass.

[@stevenclark5173]

You only have 3 attunement slots so you can't benefit from all of them unless you were an artificer subclass. Also trying to cram too much power into one character can have dire consequences (see Ashton from Critical Role campaign 3).

[@peterpariyo473]

@@stevenclark5173 If you can only have three, then i'd choose the mother of ravens armor (gives you flight ability and makes you fast), Grog's strength gauntlets (for the extra strength and growth ability) and Ripley's cloak vestige called Cabals Ruin (which gives teleporting and minor space manipulating abilities. edit: It can control and redirect magic which is even cooler than what i typed before). I'd be all set.

[@jasonmarbach]

Yessss this season has been next level, can’t wait to watch with y’all

[@anathem9982]

LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! This season has been so hype so far

[@muhammadhabibieamiro3639]

Well well well now this is a surprise but finally you guys react to season 3 of vox machina

[@sandonmynips676]

This season is so freaking good! Can't wait to watch with yall

[@Drakoni23]

Hurray for not having to wait as long this time \o/ Very much enjoying your reaction and discussions, with all the different levels of knowledge on DnD and Critical Role. So we get both the adaptation side of it, as well as you seeing it with mostly fresh eyes, not knowing where things are headed.

[@bryanwilson4386]

Been waiting for your reaction, boys! Let's get it!

[@stacyp2186]

Great outfit Calvin. You look so good.

[@martophrenia]

let’s fucking go!! excited to rewatch it with you, guys

[@aleschudarek4672]

Finally!!! I was waiting for this.

[@vgexpert20001]

Cree Summer is a VETERAN voice actor. She voiced many people's childhood.

[@animegamelover6368]

Season 3 let's go!!!

[@laurahart1337]

Buckle in my dudes. This season is wild.

[@andresfelipemanjarres7061]

ok so to help Jake i will be giving some facts that probably he forgotten in the episode about the campaing for the guys and the people watching that havent see the lets play or have forgotten: -Yes the whole incursion to Emon is new, like you say is for a hook in the first episode and i think in the original, besides keyleth , all where more acepting of working with Raishan. -Someting to have in mind about keyleth is that Pyra, the place Tordak first decimate when scape is tecnically part of her nation, a nation she is supose to lead in the future, so you remember this is personal to her. - other thing i belive the show have forshadow but in the campaing is a little bit more explain is that the reason Vax has that vision of keyleth alone with everybody dead is that Marisha make canon in the game the dnd lore that druids live thousands of years, so even if the one that live naturally longer (in this case being the gnomes) get to old age, she would outlive them all. -The "spice" guy is a condence joke in the campaing that i will explain in the future if the dont refence more in the season.

[@marcosavalos2502]

GRAND POOBAH DEBOINK OF ALL THIS AND THAT

[@christopherjunkins]

Let's give it up to Foley... they did such a heck of a job in this show!

[@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEll]

It has begin!

[@Mike_Dark]

Fun Fact The Voice actor who dose Pike's voice is the same as Gwen from Ben 10

[@mollyb2414]

Just wait yall!

[@kevinkovacs3131]

I was wondering when you guys gonna react to it... but the editing probably.the reason we didn't get it because I'm sure they already caught up s3 already.

[@anathem9982]

It was probably also waiting for at least 4 episodes to be out so that they could have enough for Patreon

[@daimonclarke]

In the campaign at least, Vex is Ranger/Rogue, and Vax is Rogue/Druid(1 level)/Paladin

[@JenABlue-ed1bw]

I literally just finished watching through the S1 and S2 reactions last night because I was hoping y'all would watch S3 soon, and HERE YOU ARE. I am excite! I love this show, I love D&D but find watching campaigns on KZbin UNBELIEVABLY boring. But all my friends have been telling me for years that I would love the stories Critical Roll creates, if only they would appear in a format I could enjoy. Thank goodness for animation! Now if Old Gods of Appalachia could just get an adaptation... (I have the same problem with podcasts lolsob) ETA: Also, I keep meaning to ask, what are those electronic notebooks Aaron and Calvin use? I go through SO MANY notebooks for my job (I'm a therapist) and an electronic one would be awesome... if it's secure enough to not be a HIPAA issue, anyway. (So, not Bluetooth, for starters.)

[@okashiad6930]

Excited!

[@mariebourgot4949]

Thanks for the video! :)

[@isacapricorn3357]

Posted 54 seconds ago?! New record 👌🏼

[@monsterkingamv7359]

Is calvin said ben 10 ? 4:47 or it just me

[@offcenterideas]

YES!!!!!

[@Wolfking99-x4r]

You guys are not ready for what’s happening this season

[@MichaelaEvans]

How do you mention Cree Summer and not Susie Carmichael, one of a lot of people's childhood memories?! 😯😱

[@dababa85]

[@Jamie2-]

On your website and KZbin for Brooklyn 99 some episodes are copyrighted in the uk if I become a beyonder can I watch the yt version or just the full reaction on ur site?

[@ElleKayGee]

Dababa still isn’t joining them?

[@ivansleepy4722]

"A little divergence from the campaign" is a b i t of an understatement

[@ieatedcrayon]

anyone know if they’re watching an episode a week or 3?

[@katieee1203]

They are releasing an episode a week.

[@piercewise1]

21:12 the two-part pilot is pretty weak in that respect. It felt like someone trying to be edgy in a way that's obvious and grating, but over time they get better at integrating the language and crassness in a way that feels organic. To me it sounds like adults (now) and not teenagers trying to be "adult" and overshooting.

[@EugGenie]

Spice it!

[@TreevCore]

Spice?

[@dontedoestuff]

Fastest like button of my life

[@Mike_Dark]

WTF is jake

[@randalladkins7452]

2:38 - Don’t worry guys. While some specific moments from the original campaign happen for their how beloved they were by fans, this season MASSIVELY diverges from the original campaign!!!! 😊😊😊 Spoilers: 😢😢😢

[@randalladkins7452]

Anybody else who’s watched the season so far hoping for a wish spell for the end of this season? I’m also hoping to see Terry and Dodi before the series ends! 😊
