![]() ![]() One of my favourite things about the season, the show, and the twins is watching their fantastically close relationship and watching it mature and age and get more nuanced over time and see their separate yet adjacent paths.”Īs I try to mine favourite moments and potential new revelations from the three actors, there is a sense of camaraderie between them clearly reminiscent of a group of friends who worked through a tabletop campaign together. “When we come to the table we want to have fun, even in hard times, so it made sense to carry that over to the animated series as well. “I think we will always wrap comedy and tragedy together, it’s just in our DNA,” he tells me. His character Vax is especially brooding, often working off the spunky personality of his sister Vex, played by Laura Bailey. O’Brien talks about how as human beings, a dissonant range of emotions and responses to situations in our lives is precisely how we get through life, and thus it made perfect sense to have that expressed through Vox Machina. It’s a really cool mix of reliving moments that we cherish but also discovering new things about these characters many years later.” “But we tried to at least get the spirit of our favourite moments from the tabletop version and maybe discover some new moments that don’t exist, but we wished would have. “There’s some sadness for stuff we couldn’t include,” Riegel says. ![]() Even with these restrictions, the cast feels like they’ve managed to convey the story and characters in a way that matters. Still, it’s amazing to watch her transition into confidence, being a leader, and to really be the moral compass who keeps these murder hobos on rails.”Īs Ray alluded to, it isn’t exactly possible to adapt a 100+ hour tabletop campaign into two seasons of 12 episodes without leaving out a few things. “So when transitioning into this animated adaptation one of the most difficult things I had to adjust to, even in my performance, is fast tracking her journey since we just don’t have enough time. “In the campaign she was able to have her journey span over hundreds of hours,” Ray explains. I actually think the episodes are too short.” – User review, via IMDB.Ray’s character Keyleth goes through quite a lot in Vox Machina’s second season, but expressing the emotional energy in a truncated arc compared to the campaign that inspired it couldn’t have been easy. This show is the best version of that available and it’s definitely less dungeoning and dragoning it captures the complexity of storytelling and character well. “I’ve always felt D&D would make great watching but until now haven’t seen anything that captures the magic of role play. The Legend of Vox Machina season 1 scored an impressive 8.4/10 on IMDB, 8.6/10 on RatinGraph, and an average audience rating of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. The critical reception to The Legend of Vox Machina has been generally positive, with the majority of stellar reviews coming directly from fans of the series. What is certain, is that the series was easily popular enough to merit a second season. ![]() Titmouse president (the animation company for The Legend of Vox Machina) Chris Prynoski added that he was “overjoyed for Titmouse to join the Critical Role adventuring party to slay this beast alongside the mighty Amazon army!” Teaming with Prime Video to deliver the series to fans across the globe is exciting and surreal - and we’re psyched to be able to tell even more stories with not just one, but two 12-episode seasons!” – Sam Riegel and Travis Willingham, via Variety. “We were absolutely floored by the level of enthusiasm we received on the Kickstarter campaign, and now we can deliver exactly what the fans wanted, and more.
