Critical Role vs Vox Machina animated series: Echo Tree confrontation 

The fact that so many Critters insisted that Saundor wasn't supposed to be an incel/toxic masculinity type, and then the official TV show just doubled down is so amusing to me. Watching Marisha's reactions to him vs everyone else, she understands his type all too well unfortunately.

They chose a perfect voice for Saunder in the show. Obviously they didn't have the time to go into all of the details but I personally think they very much captured his creepiness, anger, spite and seductive air, as well as Vex's pain surrounding her father and her self doubt.

Liam in the tv is so funny in this serious scene

14:31 That moment with Keyleth grabbing Vax’s dagger and cutting herself free, even doing a twirl like he does… that will stay with me forever, as will her actually throwing it at the vine covering his hand, allowing him to finish the job. Clutch teamwork there. Also, it’s a perfect example of how to apply one’s D&D stats in an adaptation. Keyleth has a Strength of 14 and a Dexterity of 15, plus proficiency in Athletics due to her Outlander background. And Athletics, if not Acrobatics, is often used to escape grapples and being restrained. That, and she’s used daggers before to harvest from creatures, even borrowing one of Vax’s on at least one occasion. Bottom line: Kiki is damn good with a dagger when it’s in her hands.

i love the way both taliesin and percy had about the same reaction to her saying this 😭

So many dnd tip videos telling us cool story advise but a study of these anime clips to the tabletop would be an interesting video. As so many dm or players want that cinematic moment but in reality that doesn't really happen on a table top. It can make you feel and can be meaningful but in a different way. It'd be neat to be like "wanna do the cool scene from FMA well, here's how that likely will play out with player characters

her rejection AND the response to it was waaaaaay better than the animated scene.... he just calls her a b*? What happened to epic build up??? :((( REROLL ANIMATIC!

3:19 I’m sorry but the drinking is funny to me lol

The way Liam looks so protective towards Laura is cracking me up cuz that's such a Vax way to behave

I think his response in the animation, cheapens the encounter

they really butchered the „if I could rip the blood out of my veins I would“ line - it was so forced in the animated series and had zero emotional impact behind it, especially compared to the original

10:50 - 14:12

The original was so much better. They just made him into a one dimensional incel for the cartoon when he had a bit more going on in his short time in the campaign. They keep gutting the context and it tanks the atmosphere.
