Over the course of the first season of The Legend Of Vox Machina, Percy is able to enact vengeance upon just two of his targets – the captain of the guard Stonewall and his old teacher Anders. There is a great risk that his soul will be lost, and this is something that the final two episodes focus heavily on. With each kill, however, a little bit of Percy is surrendered to the demon as well.
Percy wields a powerful gun that he calls the Pepperbox and when it kills one of its targets, their soul is fed to that demon. His need for vengeance consumed him and he was then possessed by a demon – and when this demon takes control Critters call him No Mercy Percy. About five years previously the Briarwoods came to his home of Whitestone and brutally murdered his family in front of him. They have a history with Percy and the story itself unravels slowly over the course of the final ten episodes of season one. Lady Briarwood is a necromancer who made a deal with The Whispered One to save her husband Sylas and in doing so he was turning into a vampire. The main storyline deals with the Briarwoods, a twisted couple that has sinister plans. This is where things take a very dark turn and remain there for the rest of the season.
After he is killed in episode two, Vox Machina earns the title of protecting Tal’Dorei and are rewarded with their very own keep. It is discovered that the dragon is actually a member of the council and the leader of the military, General Krieg (David Tennant). Making this a two-episode arc was extremely smart of the creators, as it is the perfect introduction to these characters. It turns out that this is a dragon – a really big blue dragon – and they must work together to figure out its weakness and take it out. They joke around with one another, and are known to have their disagreements, but at the end of the day any one of them would take the fall for the others.ĭuring the first two episodes, Vox Machina is hired by the Tal'Dorei Council to track down and kill a monster that is plaguing the city. There is a camaraderie here that is nearly unmatched by any others seen on the screen. Viewers witness them go through a lot and become better for it. One of the best things about this show is how this ensemble grows in just twelve short episodes. Grog Strongjaw (Travis Willingham) is a goliath barbarian.Scanlan Shorthalt (Sam Riegel) is a gnome bard.Keyleth of the Air Ashari (Marisha Ray) is a half-elf druid.Vax'ildan “Vax” Vessar (Liam O'Brien) is the twin brother of Vex'ahlia.Pike Trickfoot (Ashley Johnson) is a gnome, and a cleric of the goddess Everlight.Percival “Percy” Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III (Taliesin Jaffe) is a human gunslinger.Vex'ahlia “Vex” Vessar (Laura Bailey) is the twin sister of Vax'ildan.They are a ragtag group of mercenaries who are not afraid to get their hands dirty. Vox Machina is made up of seven members from different backgrounds. The first three-episode arc is spent allowing new viewers to get to know these characters. Yes, the first season has just 12 less than 30-minute long episodes, but that didn’t stop it from delivering on many different levels.
Legend of vox machina review series#
The series was given a unique release schedule, with three episodes released each week for four weeks. The Legend Of Vox Machina is the perfect fit for Prime Video, as it very much resembles Invincible, an adult animated superhero show based on comic books. The animated adult series was unafraid to dive right in with blood, sex, gore, and vulgar language scattered throughout the very first episode – and it never stopped. Now not only are long time fans thrilled, but Critical Role and Vox Machina has welcomed in a whole lot more supporters. Based on the Dungeons and Dragons campaigns played by Critical Role, a group of nerdy voice actors, the show was only made due to a successful Kickstarter campaign. Prime Video’s The Legend Of Vox Machina started as a pipe dream for Critters everywhere, and it is now one of the most popular shows in the world.
