Vox Machina Season 3 Episode 7 End Song Sequence (This Song Slaps)

[@railking927]

I don’t see enough people talking about the fact that this is sung by Matthew fucking Mercer. The man killed it!

[@adriang.2144]

I had to look it up when finished the episode because I wasn't sure, so cool.

[@aboveall8863]

I thought so, but to be fair, he did like 90 percent of the V. Acting on the table so I thought I was imagining it.😅

[@awkwardaquamarine19]

The closed caption on the streaming site I watched it on says it's sung by Peter Habib. I thought at first it was Mercer too, but his singing voice is distinctly richer and deeper than that. However, Matt did sing the "Ruby of the Sea." Clips of it all over YT.

[@jackhilton4285]

Percy was my top favorite charecter in show by far. I nearly lost my interest to watch rest (maybe just to see how thordak will be gone)

Ana Ripley to Vex: "There's nothing worse than the death of a loved one, especially if it's your fault.

[@CullenRick]

Matt's posted the "clean" version on KZbin. "Not How It's Supposed To End" This song hit me like a hammer in the show and did again just listening to it. A girl I loved was killed in an accident that happened right in front of me. Ironically, she was also the healer in our D&D group. This retriggered the PTSD I already had from childhood due to my Dad's death in a plane crash and, as I've finally come to understand, that I've struggled with all my life. This last year almost ended me, with work pressure coupled to the PTSD pushing me to the lowest place possible., Matt's vocals conveyed that emotion so well. Thanks to a decent counsellor I'm on the way back, and discovering this bunch of nerds through the tv show (and, damn, they remind me so much of my friends and our old group) has been such a delight - bringing back a lot of happy memories of our own campaigns and real-life moments.

[@171reko]

Link the clean version please.

[@BE4RSH4RKT4PUS]

My best estimate: "So caught up they didn't know which way to go. But the bond between them felt forever. Would love win if they could only take it slow? With twisted hearts and danger faced together. But life moves fast and something felt wrong. She ran to him, but he was gone. Please let the darkness fade away. Let him breathe again. Now there's nothing left, oh. Will life ever be the same? Oh that's not how it's supposed to end no..."

[@BE4RSH4RKT4PUS]

Such a gut shot to inform the fanbase “No, you actually don’t know everything that’s going to happen. Even the main cast isn’t safe.” I remember how almost trivial Anna’s defeat felt, and Matt likely had this whole plan of mass producing weapons to feed the demon in his back pocket. So to have Percy fall to her and then have Matt literally tell the fans “That’s not how it’s supposed to end” in this scene, really drives the point home. Abandon your assumptions, in this timeline, all bets are off.

[@gorgit]

I bet they will revive him before the seasons finished.​ There will be stuff we dont expect, but that will be more like vox machina being only 5 when they defeat thordak and storylines being combined into one. @@BE4RSH4RKT4PUS

That’s what the writers probably intend to do: ensure Ripley goes completely unpunished. Perhaps reserve her for Mighty Nein or miniseries about her.

When they said season 3 was gonna hurt our feelings, we all thought of "The Bard's Lament", and while there's 3 episodes left so that can still happen, pretty sure this is what they were referring to.

[@Skinythewalker245]

Tbh I don't think I can take more emotionally scared than this

[@jeohranalfhir8366]

So... No bard's lament for us. But it's okay, honestly it makes sense this way as well. Hope we still get to see Taryon!

[@Scarshadow666]

Might be more of a S4 thing to happen! Makes me wonder if S4 would be a Scanlan-centered character building season for him (like how S1 focused on the Briarwoods story arc/Percy's development, S2 was a combo of Grog's, Vax's, and a little bit of Scanlan's development, and S3 was for Vex and Keyleth). Makes me wonder if we'll get even more combos in character development by the next season.

i watched on prime on my tv, and it said the title was "Not How It's Supposed To End" (i think) on the subs... i cant lie when I say i spent 45 minutes looking for this song online, thinking it was a portion of a full length "real" song. Matt is insane, and this show is only getting better. All the cast, amazing job.

[@Sootielove]

Omg same!

[@cinderofgods8698]

When this started playing I had to pause and just sit there for five minutes thinking to myself "is that fucking Matt Mercer singing?" this song is gorgeous and it made the moment so much powerful. I would sell my souls to orthax just to get a full three minute version of this

An amazing song for a serious moment, I wonder how they will bring Percy back in the show as i believe it took some effort to do in the live game. Also this song better be on the soundtrack album if we get one.

[@NoName1462]

They made a point of having Ripley tell him (and show him) that the guns steal souls of victims. His soul is trapped in the gun probably, defeat her/recover the gun = Percy's back.

[@ventusbruma1039]

My current theory: there will be Res magic they find in Raishan's horde. Only it won't work because his soul is with Orthax and saving him will be the hook for season 4

Just to say in the actual campaign Percy comes back to life (I think by Raishan) so hopefully they’ll bring him back by the end of the season.

[@jmt7240]

My guess is that Percy will be brought back either by Raishan/Whispered One necromancy black magic fuckery or the new devil stuff Pike has going on which is how his kids would be eventually tainted by infernal blood. That said is if they decided to kill him off it would be a very bold and interesting change.

[@candygirl77777]

Yeah, he’ll be resurrected somehow. Leaving him dead would be way too big a change from the ultimate outcome of the live gameplay. Changes thus far have been to give extra depth to characters or make things flow better in an adaptation.
