The Legend Of Vox Machina Episode 5 Reaction | Fate's Journey | Critical Role Review

[@bandi138138]

I love how they set up the triceratops scene by showing Scanlan get polymorph

[@AVJHalonen]

Nevosh Nevoooooooonnnn!

[@corynnightshade9049]

I love how they set up the Rakchasa

[@tagara4812]

OMG did he really polymorph into the Crazy Unicorn Serpent from the "Tavern Keeper Build"

[@RoinDanton]

I haven't looked at it that way, good thinking!

[@codybarnes1531]

For Critters knowing what gifts the Briarwoods hung in the suntree, seeing the people alive and invited to dinner was a new way to get that shock for those who new what was coming. As soon as Delilah gave that girl the necklace I was like oh no.

[@mattewald9378]

My wife doesn’t watch critical role but she’s been watching legend with me and seeing her reactions to all these things is priceless

[@mythomagic1771]

Shit, they gave'em personalities, now the scene is even more fucked up

[@germandiaz1742]

exaclty i was " hoooo nooo" right in the hart

[@Indioprophecy81]

When they showed that little girl and know what will happen just broke my heart. They really didn't pull their punches.

[@Jaxom35x]

Giving that little girl lines to speak, made it even more real and more horrific than the livestream. I actually teared up knowing what was going to happen.

[@sleekpngn4050]

I love the scenes of what the Briarwoods are doing since they were only in Matt's mind for all these years. Also, giving Pike her own journey and seeing that is awesome, I can't wait for the last half of the season. Ive been loving it all

[@madeking4]

9:48 couldn't help but laugh that you were literally crossing your fingers to see a family murdered and their corpses hung from a tree! I mean, I think we all were

[@willmcnally3388]

As soon as I saw the little girl I said "OOooOoh she looks like Pike" and I had such a sinister grin knowing where that was going

[@alexanderwheeler3943]

Hearing Matt describe the bodies hanging from the tree was one thing. Seeing the Briarwoods prep the people for it (especially the kids) was the first time I really got angry with them

[@arlyssstewart3040]

That friendzome was cannon accurate but still caught me off gaurd. I really like the care they are taking to set up important moment well in advance

[@jgrado3]

I’d like to think Vex’s “vines have thorns” speech is partly because of her trust issues but also, she’s kinda looking out for Keyleth as well. She knows her her brother is a bit of a player and she doesn’t want Keyleth getting played.

[@rantdmc]

isn't it great how they included 3 classic kills from Vax, Keyleth and Grog from the stream? loving it so much! and the greatest episode ending of all time surely?

[@jacobjantke6886]

I don't quite remember Grog's kill

[@mattewald9378]

I love that they set up the Rakshaha in such a smooth way without having to spin off on an entire tangent and also not skip the payoff down the road

[@rantdmc]

I don't remember exactly, but I think he killed a monster like that during the first streamed episodes of C1 ie the Kraghammer Arc

[@flaminyawn]

@@mattewald9378 Yeah, I was wondering how they'd set that up without including the Slayers Take episodes. Turns out, that's how you do it.

[@Starsaber222]

I was thinking that they could do Pyra and Vasselheim as Season 2 with the Rakshasa as the big bad. We'll see where they end up at the end of the season, but this less experienced Vox Machina feels like they wouldn't even survive the initial attack on Emon.

[@BNOBNO14]

My response the second I saw Rodrigo was "I STAN FOR RODRIGO". Literally, audibly, loud and in my car alone I said this to myself.

[@mattewald9378]

Sky holding a gallon of Jamison: later today I’m gonna throw up Me: well at least she’s honest about it Sky: episode 6 Me: ohhh yeah no that makes more sense

[@tea_time_t]

"I have time to watch this and then watch actual Critical Role!" Right?! I was so happy when I figured that out. Just gotta switch out from VM mode to... whatever they'll call themselves in C3. Magnificent Bitch Face is my new twitter name. I love Keyleth being like "This gigantic wolf is clearly a sweet baby puppy friend who needs help." Non-critters seeing the Sun Tree scene: **oh my god they WHAT** Critters expecting the Sun Tree scene: oh man this is so messed up I can't wait

[@JonathanMandrake]

That ending gave me shivers...

[@Mattofthevalley]

Just like grog made me laugh the most in the Web stream..... he's made me weep during the show......damn you travis

[@epicwalrus7183]

The choice to not use music in the credits and just have the sound of a creaking rope...

[@ann_00]

yeees i noticed that as well and it gave me chills. such a good detail

[@TheLinkHelios]

7:21

[@thornbushy]

A small thing I noticed was that while in the campaign, it described 7 people looking like Vox Machina and a bear, but here it's only the 7 members. Trinket didn't fight the Briarwoods (meaning Delilah didn't see him), so Delilah didn't ask for a bear to be killed and hung. Also, I'm not sure if they could get away with hanging a bear because it is an animal.

[@cryofpaine]

Also, in the campaign, they had Tiberious on the tree, but not Pike because she was already off again by that point. Definitely agree, the attention to all these details is incredible.

[@Valfara770]

Well, they have no compulsion about killing children so I don't think animals would be any problems. :P

[@bluejay43]

@@Valfara770 I think they meant the show wouldn't get away with it, but yeah, if they can kill children in the show without problems, they could probably get away with a dead animal.

[@Valfara770]

@@bluejay43 Yes, that what I meant, sorry if it came out wrong. I think compulsion was the wrong word anyway. English isn't my first language.

[@steelangel9039]

4:20 Aaand... it has a *toothy* *maw* !!!

[@testfire3000]

I have to subscribe just because your reactions are so enthusiastic and genuine. I love it! Can't wait for season two!

[@warriorwitchwillow]

10:04 You saw the “dinner guests” being brought in. 😉 And, if you’re watching Campaign 3, we also get our first look at [Spoiler].

[@anthonywall4417]

Keylyth channeling her monster cat form too scare the creatures was awesome, missed it the first time around

[@soweirdjaltz]

Suntree moment lives forever

[@thunderrumble9521]

CR has some epic moments but the players' dawning realization of the nature of the gifts in the Suntree under Matt's perfect pacing is my favorite because it feels like it made the story more "real" to them than ever before The animation captured it pretty well 👌

[@djcowell91]

I absolutely love your enthusiasm and joy. Thanks for making these!

[@thecubicmeteor9083]

Well, I guess I don't have to wait long for new episodes in this reaction channel.

[@Alexacz2]

7:59 "just giddit" xD love the shipping

[@isaac5625]

Wasnt kiki a squirrel the first time she met Vex and Vax ? 🤔 Also when Scanlan says how he would die than Vax replying by: "careful what you wish for" aww that hurts such a painful foreshadowing Also also when keyleth and vax sits by the fire is that professor Thadeus flying above ? 😂

[@redcrowgrafik]

Yes. It's in one of the origin comics. She healed him back then.

[@wilverine5557]

I didn’t catch that careful what you wish for line… that’s good

[@AnxietyRat]

It's also a nod to foreshadowing to when Vax is killed via choking....that one time....good times. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

[@dentheman1641]

VAX AND KEYLETH FOR LIFE!!!!

[@97pops]

I'm so happy I found someone who shares the same excitement t for this series that I do

[@ten5h1]

Lol!!! Dagger dagger dagger!!!!

[@kassygo1375]

Does the intro for Vox Machina remind anyone else of the Chaotic tv show?

[@toshomni9478]

What a great series. It's a shame they left Trinket out of this part though because he has one of the most epic moments in the campaign during this arc.

[@mikegarza8648]

One of those people is Marisha Campaign 3 Character. The one dressed as Vex I think.

[@wilverine5557]

That would be so cool!

[@mikegarza8648]

@@wilverine5557 If you go back when they were discussing her having come back from the dead she describes waking up hung from the Sun Tree, and dressed like Vox Machina.

[@mayaenglish5424]

No, that's not true, this is a popular fan theory, but she never actually said anything that specific, it was something about waking up in a pile of bodies.

[@mikegarza8648]

@@mayaenglish5424 Right, misremembered. But, spoilers someone significant is Laudna's Patron.

[@AnxietyRat]

@@mayaenglish5424 This. She only said she woke up amongst other dead people. NOTHING about the sun tree or being dressed as VM. Ever.

First appearance of Laudna from campaign 3 is in this episode

[@blueroninstudios]

I can be a discount Matt Mercer: Helloe,everyone, and welcome to tonights KZbin reaction to Critical Role, where a bunch of nerdy ass fans sit around and watch Vox Machina in the realm of Dungeons and Dragons! *listens for Travis ........... hears an echo from far away* "We voice Dungeouns and DragOOOOOOOOONS!" Heheheheh, I tried, sorry!

[@ShellySummers]

I loved they showed the tree. But I wish they made us wait an episode. Having them see the towns folk at the end of the next episode would have been crazy.

[@yonirais4699]

Anyone knows what does undead creatuers that attacked the cart are called?

[@LordGrokken]

Those were new to me too.

[@steelangel9039]

Plot Advancers, apparently 😅

[@DigitalTwisted]

They sort of looked like undead displacer beasts, without the actual shimmering stuff the displacer beasts do.
