VanillaZealot

Well, i am very surprised with this show. It's an upgrade over Legends of Vox Machina in ALMOST every way possible. Better main cast that are actually intresting (for the most part). Honestly the Orc guy is only intresting because of that god of the depths or whatever he's being influenced **** this time around even if there's some aloof diversity crammed it, it's far less noticeable and less in your face. One exception being the Monk.... man... woman? Voice actor says woman,the body says... gods know honestly. There's still the issue of the animation though. I cannot see any improvement in that departament to save my life. Unless they ruin the landing with some very bad ending ,this is a huge upgrade from the previous show by the same group,and it's gonna stay that way.

Wasted potential. The story itself has some very intresting beats. I came in here thinking this is gonna be different since it's based on a D&D campaign and the main characters will be in an actual danger of dying. I was wrong. After the second bait and switch i just couldn't care for any emotional moment when it came to any death. Turned very predictable very quick. Forced diversity. D&D is a setting with various races with different degrees of intresting traits. This show just makes every diverse character black or light skinned. And it's mostly Elves gnomes and some very rare outliers. And almost everybody's a homosexual. Only four straight couples in 4 seasons of show. The precentages are all sorta whack. Very mid animation.When you see AMAZON,you expect budget. This show's animation is very weak. Boring main cast.A very strong lack of ACTUAL diversity in the main cast 3 Elves(these wind ashari look exactly like wood elves let's be honest),2 gnomes,1 basic barbarian class looking guy(a half giant) and a dude. Not to mention the way they look and the way they fight is also very basic.This is what i'd expect from a first time campaign. To put you into perspective there are around 45 official races in dungeons and dragons. In the 4 seasons i personally watched there's barely any of them. The potential was there. But the writing is predictable,the forced diversity makes it even worse,the characters are weak and not fun to follow around for most of the time. For gods sake the only guy i could take seriously by the end of this show was the supposed joke character of Scanlan Shorthalt. I rooted for the opposition to put vox machina down most of the time . Better villains with better motivations. Can't recommend this.
