My thoughts about episode 2, season 3 of The Legend of Vox Machina :
The new opening credits are so so good. My sister and my friend whith whom I was watching the 1st time, both noted it and enjoyed it a lot, while noting that it seemed "quite sad" (I nodded and said nothing). My sister especially loves the music, the moment if flares and goes epic !
Gilmore is so fabulous with his magic fan, I want the same
I'm intrigued how well Anna Ripley's desire for the Vestiges integrates well in this storyline. In the Campaign, if I'm not mistaken or remember poorly, it wasn't clear why she stole Cabal's Ruin, except to make Percy follow her and kill him. But here we have the idea that the guns, this new kind of weapon, is dangerous it could change the world for the worse if everyone had that nuclear option. And the beginning of the idea that technology and the arcana are compatible (hello, ancient wizards cities who did the same thing...). Good intro of key elements.
THE RUBY OF THE SEA SONG IS SO GOOD. And same, I love that they are introducing "tools that will help us later" like that Mickey meme says. I launched myself off the couch at the Ruby mention and my sister didn't know why.
Oh, there it is, a Pock O'Pea original ! I missed it the first time watching. I got the Taste of Tal'Dorei, though :
"the whole shaking thing" transitionning into Kaylee and Scanlan commanding cocktails. Excellent.
J'Mon Sa Ord are so cool. I love them so much. Their design is off the chart. Those eyes...
Oh my gods this is so good, it hurts but it's so good but it hurts !! Love this excellent set-up :
I'm sure those words won't come back to haunt Scanlan, no not at all
NAME-DROP OF ALL TIME !!! I really didn't expect it. I love it :
I knew they were going to the Hells this season, and I love this change. In the campaign, it came way later, after the dragons' defeat, and of course, as they are more focused on story arc and didn't include Hotis, it makes sense to keep this trip but change the why. I do wonder if we'll hear a certain werebear, voiced by N. D. Stevenson...
"Ow, my tit !". Twice now. Pike is this season' Fjord ! I laughed so much.
