Keyleth becomes the light ☀️ - Vox Machina ORIGIN Moments 

"I don't want to hit you" "I CAN TAKE IT, JUST DO IT!"

Taliesin: "Really, you're going to kill him with hugs?" *Many Years Later* Grog: "Real men HUG!!!"

As someone who has loved dnd most of my life but discovered Critical Role wayyyy too late to catch up, I’ve been loving Vox Machina, and really appreciating these comparison videos!

I love how the aminated series highlights how kick ass amazing Kelyth is!

I paused during the the attack to see if there were any phallic shaped sunbeams and I’m sad to report there was not. Amazing scene tho.

Matt:"..nearly phallic rays.." Jesters Origin Story

"I CAN TAKE IT" Barbarian's in a nuttshell

I like how Talesin is goofily singing this chant thing in the live game, and the sound production just throws in this epic full on choir chorus vibe in there

So satisfying both ways 😭👏 And out of all of them, they were definitely afraid of the little gnome and the druid.

Keyleth used Solarbeam! It was super effective!

Honestly as someone who has seen the tv show before the show itself, I am so glad they made it the way they did, the weight and epicness of it is breathtaking

When the original theme song sample started playing the tears started flowing. So amazing original and new.

Probably the most epic and impactful scene in the the show... brilliantly written and acted, beautifully illustrated and animated.

Anyone who watched the live watch parties remembers Matt losing it during the Sunbeam part, and I was right there with him. I am a huge sucker for stuff like that. Big emotional payoffs in that episode.

The music for Keyleth during this part is my favorite track in the whole show 🤩

Ive never really been into DnD but vox machina really sold me on how awesome it can be

I’ve watched this so many times and it makes me tear up every time. And that MUSIC. After Pike’s voice and then the driving beat and the choir. I just can’t contain the emotion.

I only just noticed the callback to the *original* Critical Role theme in the soundtrack for the LoVM moment; it does a few bars of Jason Charles Miller's original theme for the show before transitioning into the "Your Turn to Role" theme. Chills.

What I would give to have Keyleth in the show to hug Sylus and be like "🎵Let the sunshine in! Let the sunshine in🎵"

Honestly I played in a campaign that had a very similar climax. One of our players had a personal grudge against the big bad and our barbarian grappled him so our sorcerers could go all out, encouraging us to hit him if it meant taking that b*stard out. The barbarian’s player got inspiration for the freaking epic delivery. And now I’m wondering how much that player and our dm took after critical role for that backstory and arc.

Points to them for keeping the hugging in. What a brilliant adaption. Thanks for the video.

Both of these shows are so engaging. I had caught up at that point, so could watch it live, and was so good. But the tie in, for all the things, in that Kiki moment was such a nice pay off! I can not describe how much I want to see season 2, episode 1, because of all the things.

Well, it seems Im going to cry everytime I watch it, cool

Just gonna say it... This episode is SERIOUS DBZ vibes, what with Pike's energy quarrel with Delilah, and then Kiki Spirit-Bombing Sylas into straight oblivion. And the music going along with the action? So, so freaking amazing. I love how Travis, being a huge DBZ fan, encouraged this kind of anime action in this episode. So good...! Edit: I just *hope beyond hope* that they animate the fight between VM and Kev'Dak (Go watch Critical Role, Campaign 1, Episodes 54-56 -- _trust me!_ ), and how that whole epic fight went down. Some people like the Briarwood Arc. I _love_ the Kev'Dak fight!

This is the true Critter hug of death.

One of my favorite things playing a barbarian is having your squishy spellcasters be conserned about hitting you, and you just say lmao do it.

Dude - these translation videos are SO GOOD

Vox Machina is one of my favorite pieces of media. I don't play DnD but I love the concept and turning into a show that's more consumable for someone like me is fantastic.

spirit bomb turned into Makansop, Makanksopapa and Mechasapa o to hell with it special beam cannon

Love these comparison videos.

Watching that scene in the animation form actually made me cry when I first saw it

0:21 Talesin with the Warcraft 2 call back.

C1 is addictive

A, Thanks. This is a moment. Memorable. I like it. thanks for sharing.

Please do more of this videos

This was my favorite scene!!

the sunbeam spell was one of my favorites in baldurs gate 2 and other games for dealing with undead

She's my favorite

"do mists have ears ?"lmao

I'm not crying!!! You're crying!!!😭

I fucking love this show. I'm so glad I caught it during campaign one. I don't even watch TV anymore. Critical role, and dimension 20 are pretty much the only thing I watch.

Me watching Keyleth power up her spell: "Is Wizard-Time, mutherfuqer! *FIREBALL!!!!* "

In a few of these comparisons I wish they had stuck closer to the rough and desperate source material. Like the bards solo attack on the mansion, in the show it's all luck, daring and potions, but in the game it was running away a lot and then smart use of limited spells but these scene was brilliantly translated. Stunning!

Do VM vs Orthax and Scanlan melting the gun!

"I'mma firing mah lazor! *_BLAAAAAARGH!"_* 2016 edition.

As a DM I havent had a moment like this yet with my players. But as a player I did. I was helping some newbies learn and I played a dumbass named Bob the Barbarian Berserker. He basically smashed kobolds into one another, killed a dragon with a kobold corspe and because "Ooo a weapon i can swing!" He literally grabs a flying sword and bashes an animated armor with it breaking all four swords and killing the armor this way. Anyway in the middle of that I had the bright idea after getting downed by a female bandit captain only to rise up again to grapple her and let my cleric, and rogue comrades wail on her and get the kill. So satisfying since I got a nat 20 on the grapple check.

Moar. MOARRRR!

As Scanlan said: "We're Vox Machina. We Fuck. Shit. Up!"

I'm playing a Druid currently, and I know what spell I'm IMMEDIATELY taking when I hit level 11

Is there an origin for Scalan throwing Percys weapon in the acid??

Ah the OP Mage, reminds me of my Dragon Age days

I love how in these comparison scenes you can see how much they nerf the actual characters, especially keyleth.

Wait in the original they do a captain america / iron man attack?

Vox...Ma...Chi...Ma...Chi...NAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

LOVM wasn't phallic enough -3/10 worst ever

Hmmm... level 11 druid casts 6th level spell Sunbeam 3 times in a row without any rest?

I love these origin moments so much, from someone that doesn't have time for the Critical Role campaign, thank you! But also why did these stop? I need more!
