Vox Machina “Recap Rap + Opening Credits” REACTION!!

Season 2 is here! But first, let’s watch the recap!
And a few fun opening scenes!
Join us for episode 1… right now!

[@wildbronco038]

To be fair, in the actual campaign, the horses were left behind and ended up getting eaten by Harpies. A quick falling death is probably a mercy by comparison

[@thatguyzackrobb]

I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT!

[@FandomFuse]

WHY DOES CRITICAL ROLE HATE HORSES?! ~Nicole

[@makondan277]

@@FandomFuse It's just DnD in general they do not survive half a session

[@kimkong1413]

Lets just hope we never get to the goats of season 3... Poor Nicole.😂

[@oldladywinchester]

So many good memories. Matt wearing the armour from his evil necromancer character from Mythica in the C1 intro. Sam being late in the C2 intro cause he used to be perpetually late to the stream. Taliesin casting an actual spell like the immortal warlock he is. 😊

[@wildbronco038]

Zack mentioned the Laura dice easter egg in the C2 opening. There's a few other easter eggs too. Like Marisha hitting Taliesin is a reference to Marisha hitting whoever sits next to her. Ashley showing up late is a reference to her random Skype appearances. IIRC Sam being the last one to arrive is because he's always running late.

[@OptionZero]

Sam Riegel Does. Not. Miss.

[@FandomFuse]

NEVER

[@queenannsrevenge100]

IMO, It was stuff like those goofy but “all-in” intros, and Talks Machina, that made people fall in love with them in the first place.

[@The_Mashupman]

Ah the old Vox Machina Dalen's Closet episode.. that brought me back..

[@CarBENbased]

Precisely what i though of as well. I still get tears from the wish scene.

[@The_Mashupman]

@@CarBENbased I mean the one where they go there for a mid-campaign vacation ;) Sandcastle building checks and all

[@CarBENbased]

[@emilymary5831]

I forgot about the C2 opening such good memories!

[@pheebo42]

8:12 omg they are magnificent!! 😍🤩

[@TaRatTinCan]

That C2 80s opening is still probably my favorite CR opening

[@zippomage]

i love love love the current C3 opening. Very cool

[@seankennedy4548]

Again.. Great reaction! Totally agree. Love nerdy friends having fun! I was in the SCA for many years during the peak on my gaming days in the 80's and 90's. Nothing more fun than freaking the mundanes! Love the quick moment of silence for the horses. Love that you have cats as well. Love to hear about your other nerdiness.

[@punkrockpearl84]

I love ya'll lol, and more nerdy human connection is certainly welcome. Also, beach is a vibe. Maybe they'll leave Scanlan behind and Nicole can just watch Grog build a sandcastle. That would be awesome. Ships & shipping is cool, too.

[@pheebo42]

I just finished watching “Anne with an E”, it’s wonderful! I think you’d like it.

[@FandomFuse]

Never saw it! Wanted to, but never got around to it! Might need to add it to the list. ~ Nicole

[@johnobrien7562]

the campaign 2 opener was deliberately trying to capture the spirit of a couple magazine ads from the 1980's. you can't really blame anyone but Percy for the horses. he was driving the cart after all.

[@cacklebarnacle15]

wait. You have TWO cats?

[@FandomFuse]

TWO WHOLE CATS! ~Nicole

[@louisemckn]

Zack knows why but I’d really love if you guys react to the in game moments maybe as a wee break between release batches? I just think it’ll help showing the live wtf moments as they happened… honest!😅

[@zippomage]

the suntree moment! Seriously one of hte most staggering moments in modern fiction.

[@sooh6299]

Yes to this please!!!!❤

[@cuccohaHA]

The “Your soul is forfeit” line and destroying the pepper box are probably some of my favorite differences between the live and the show. Both are good but It would be interesting to see the reactions and opinions!

[@patrickmcisaac3142]

They changed a lot but they really nailed soooo much!!

[@tzviklein4315]

Excellent cat video. The rest was also alright, I guess.😊

[@FandomFuse]

They wanted to do the whole episode without us, we should have let them. ~Nicole

[@coreozurn4950]

It's great that Sam and Ashley were almost the same height in the C1 opening. When reality Sam is around 6ft and is much taller then Ashley.

[@Rezinstance]

The animators responsible for the horses actually asked if they could be killed as a form of catharsis, because they hated working on them so much. As it turns out, quadrupeds are really hard to animate, horses more so.

[@pheebo42]

Please tell us about other stuff you do!

[@FandomFuse]

DEAL! (we'll plug some stuff in the next recording we do! ) ~Nicole

[@hazell1304]

Hi Roxanne and Ripley!

[@xBatmanxBroncofanx]

I love the live action openings💕 I personally also really like the first C3 opening especially the shots of the table. Also no spoilers 😁

[@jlokison]

Does the Dalen's Closet one-shot count as a beach episode?

[@zippomage]

if you want to blame someone for the horses, blame the animators. They specifically did it because they had one condition for working on this: no horses. When the writing team brought that scene to the animators, they were like "the horses will die"

[@hhylobates4098]

The horses were left to die in the campaign though, at least some of them were eaten by harpies
