Thanks Keyleth. No really, thank you! I'm DMing exactly tomorrow and I can't wait for today's stream, ohmigosh. Hope you guys can have even more fun in the next campaign!
A great campaign, Marisha, thank you! Keyleth was a wonderful soul full of joy, curiosity, and humility, and I think we can tell where she got that from.
I started playing after watching Critical Role, found it from Nerdist. Now I play a campaign with friends (the DM hadn't played since high-school until I convinced him to start), and I have two campaigns with my kids underway.
It's awesome seeing this interview. Keyleth is a wonderful and very easy to relate to character who stumbles and falls but always rise back up again. It's amazingly awe-inspiring, especially showing not all great leaders are the best speakers but good hearts are more important. Marisha done a wonderful job breathing her character to life, if I could say anything to her, I would say thank you! I'm really looking forward to her next character as well. It's going to be awesome!!!
Wow, after all the other videos of Marisha and the negativity under the videos in the comments. the sheer number of super nice, reasonable comments under this one are a real treat :) And I agree, the belief that a leader has to be a good talker is absurd. and as her finale speech in the plat sanctuary, she just needs the right time for a speech.
It was always so interesting that Keyleth was best friends with Percy of all people. She was the person who constantly worried about the morality of a situation and about doing the most good she can for everyone. Percy was the guy who invented guns with the full understanding of what he was unleashing into the world, because he cared more about revenge. He was the person capable of making the horrifying decisions to make sure he gets the outcome he wants.
I can understand the sadness of the campaign ending. It's like saying goodbye to someone at the airport. You KNOW you'll see them in the future, but something still compels you to feel the sadness of the departure and the uncertainty of if you'll ever truly see them again.
Yep! I'm one of those that wasn't playing, or even knowing about it but now am learning to play the game. I just completed a One Shot, that led into a 2nd one...and now it looks like it may be a regular thing with my new friends.
Super refreshing to hear that Marisha at one point didn't like some of the exact same things I didn't like about her character lol. That being said, I understand the occasional hating of Keyleth but being mean or rude to anyone online for something like that is just not okay
People who are attacking Marisha or Keyleth can get lost. Constructive criticism is one thing, but a lot of what people say doesn't come close to that. Most of us have no interest in having you as part of the community if you're going to be a jerk.
David Wood I agree it's really sad, makes you wonder what people must be going through that they're so invested in something as to be mean or rude to someone who's providing free entertainment to them. I've never hated Marisha or Keyleth but I have had a few griped with Keyleth as a character and it's refreshing to hear that Marisha was actually the same. So weird that she picked a neurotic self righteous character when she's actually chill af but it ended up working well for the story
I feel like many people might not realize how important Keyleth has been for the party. They always relied on her for movement, scrying and getting information from the land itself to greatly improve their odds for most fights they had. We did not get to see the tougher fights they got to avoid because of her. It has always meant though that she rarely had a full arsenal of spells once the big fights happened though, usually she had burned through several high level spells to get them there. My favorite Keyleth moment was when they chased Ripley and she first controlled the storm and then smashed through that ship. That feeble mind on Raishan was very clutch too, more would likely have died without it and possibly permanently if it was Vex or Grog who already died more than once.
Agreed on all counts, the reliance (especially late-game) on her is perpetually ignored, like during the Umbrasil battle, their trap would not have been possible without her earthshaping tunnels around it/earthshaping the ground to hide their trap, the entire Feywild escapade with Garmelee (stoneshping a threshold crest, getting into the tree where fenthryst was), and planeshifting to and from hell, the Feywild and elsewhere. her using transport via plants to get them to every continent. IMO she is (possibly tied with Scanlan*) the true MVP of C1. *I mean Scanlan is tied with her, since I consider her to be the far more important member, yet without Scanlan's damned counterspells, they would never have won. **And you saying that "That feeble mind on Raishan was very clutch too, more would likely have died without it and possibly permanently if it was Vex or Grog who already died more than once."..... Mercer was apparently gonna be a real sadistic a**h**l there before that Feeblemind, he was apparently gonna kill everyone saving Keyleth for last. so that if she managed to kill Raishon she would be surrounded by the corpses of VM and Allora and Kima... which he said was something he was really curious how Keyleth would respond to getting all of her friends killed..... ***And last, the "Chase to Glintshore" episode is among the very best episodes of C1 imo, it is sooo nice seeing Keyleth blow the whole party away with awesome spells that don't go wrong, similar to when she shapechanges for the first time, Grog/Travis' reaction is soo good :)
When I see Marisha out of character. I remember that people who hate her, actually hate her character. Pretty good method acting really. She is so normal in an interview, but Keyleth really is frustrating and abrasive at times. I hope she knows that she's cool shit.
I am just now catching up to the end of c1... they are now on episode like 150 of C2... I've got two years of video to watch still.. we will get through this lol
Yeah, "useless". Feeblemind on Raishan, nat 20 perception on Allura and Kima(she is the only one who attempted it), battle heals when Pike is not there, massive AoE and single target damage, utility like Scry and Planeshift. Even the worst player can't make a druid useless. Sure, she makes some stupid decisions and can sometime try to steal the spotlight too much but she is only human. And making wrong decisions is part of DnD. Want a rule perfect campaign with no mistakes by the players? Critical Role is not for you
Why are Marisha's shoulders and arms so nicely shaped? Because they bare the brunt of all the ugly parts of fandom. I have such great respect for this woman, and I was happy to watch Keyleth's journey. Looking forward to the new character! Yay!~
Now Tal'Dorei children are save and do not have to fear Keyleth or perhaps parents you the legend of Keyleth to scare their children and make them behave good :'D Sorry Marish, you are really awesome, even before CR started I hyped you, keep going :)
Keyleth will be around to write her own legend. Little perk of Timeless Body; you can customize your post-mortem reputation and legacy on a much larger scale than most people get.
Ahh that's right, forgot about that detail, so the horror for the children is real for almost 2000 years :'D Ohh my they better behave good or Keyleth will get them :'D
Let me get this straight she said it was between two years each during the private sessions and the live streams. However she mention altogether it was five years. Am I missing something here?
@@antonionunez3759 They starting streaming January 2015, finishing streaming Campaign 1 in October 2017. so they streamed for 2 years and 9 months in campaign one.
Marisha played a perfect anchor for vox machina. A lot of people thought keylith to be annoying, and while she was annoying, the party needs diverse characters, keylith offered just that. She also created interesting situations.
I tihnk its sad that they didnt get to play an adventure at level 20. I mean its frustrating that you work all this time and dont get to feel he bad ass you meant to be.
I think their first goal was to get high level, but as they started getting there, they realized that their story was coming to an end. Who know though, maybe the M9 has enough problems to get them to 20 XD
BTG514 If you know with certainty what happened with Orion, please post evidence. I’d like to know, since I thought he had cancer and relationship problems and had his ticket ripped to shreds by the people who hated him
If you are talking about why he left critical role, it has been been fully explained by the cast or crew but we can make some educated guesses. Matt outright said Orion fudged rolls, with a tweet saying "the only person who fudged rolls is no longer part of the show". Orion was also struggling with substance abuse around this time so its likely a part of it. During the final episodes hes in you can see the tension within the group.
Nathan Wubs I fucking will fight someone through the internet. My fist will travel across the world wide web and break through their screen to make direct fucking contact with their face. But it's okay I heard Tiberius is getting an origins comic.
"Art is temporary". Sasori disagrees. As do I, actually. Art is something that lasts for ages. Look at the paintings of Michaelangelo, Vincent van Gogh, etc. The statues from ancient greece, and so on.
Deidara agrees with her lol. I think both are true, and that's one thing Kishimoto got right in his mess of Naruto Part 2. Neither of them were wrong about what art is. There are many art forms that are meant to be taken in differently. Watching a live theater performance is a momentary and very temporary art. You will never re-live those moments again from the same perspective, no matter how good the recording or how good the actors are. Even if we talk about paintings, there are elements of both temporary and lasting impact. The experience of seeing the Sistine Chapel for the first time is never going to be the same as if you visit it a second and third time. That's a very temporary thing; Seeing art for the first time. The surprise of a plot twist being revealed in a story...this is also an instantaneous and temporary moment that we try to capture as best as we can. But it's also permanent in that this art can exist as long as humanity does and we can all experience it throughout ages.
She specifies that it's meant to be experienced. If that wasn't true you wouldn't need museums, picture books would do. Om top of that it's different for the artist. You live through the creation and then on you go. You can't make the same art piece again and again.
Art is temporary and permanent. You can only "temporarily" be there for that piece of music or seeing that piece of art on the wall, or be there for that one final boss fight for a game (D&D or otherwise!). But what you get from that temporary experience will stay with you, permanently, and shape you. I mean, I guess permanency is only for as long as you live, and for as long as your actions due to the changes and inspirations you've experienced last? In that sense, I can "dig" the transient nature of art. I don't think there's a wrong answer, as long as it's your own answer. Some people will be inspired and let that inspiration glow warm, cold, and fade away, while others take that inspiration and run with it, like a kid with a paintbrush. It would be nice for everyone to be inspired and let that inspiration grow and ripple across all of us, each act inspiring more acts that inspire us all.
Art can be both temporary and semi permanent. Art does create memories. The statues of ancient Greece have lost their paint and their original location. The original meanings of the statues are distant memories. Art creates memories, even as it passes on.
Of all the players of CR, Marisha is the one I'm most excited to see in a new campaign. Just so I can be free of Keyleth. God, I hope to never see Keyleth ever again... Not even as a npc.
