Transcript Ep45 2:30:06 Scanlan, how do you do it?

This is one of the best insights we get into Scanlan's core philosophy. Not happy-go-lucky so much as comforting nihilism. In being irreverent towards death, he accepts its inevitability and enjoys what he can. At 2:31:26, Scanlan says, "Everything before this was not as good. This is better, that's why. It's very simple. You had … Continue reading Transcript Ep45 2:30:06 Scanlan, how do you do it? →

Transcript Ep5 0:1:50 Character Backstories

All of this transcription was done by Critical Role Transcripts. I’ve merely reformatted it from closed captions to paragraphs, and added the timestamps and links. The longer Critical Role has run, and characters have developed, the clearer it is that the telling of their backstories shows some very core personality traits, beyond the mere history … Continue reading Transcript Ep5 0:1:50 Character Backstories →

Scene Cut Ep79 3:14:42 Thordak flies into the hole, Vax makes a choice

Analysis: My main reason for this (masochistically long) scene cut is to look at why Vax attacked Raishan. I’ve included a handful of other scenes that also show how Vox Machina felt about Raishan. They show that no one trusts Raishan. They were all keenly aware, from the beginning, that the moment Thordak died they … Continue reading Scene Cut Ep79 3:14:42 Thordak flies into the hole, Vax makes a choice →

Transcript Ep45 0:32:46 Percy tells Vax what happened in the Sunken Tomb

Analysis: This is probably the best example of non-verbal exchange in Critical Role to date. Most of the scene’s development doesn’t actually take place with words. Vax and Percy are both very expressive people. Their talk the night before, camped outside the Sunken Temple (Ep44 1:15:21), was warm, earnest, and forgiving. It was full of … Continue reading Transcript Ep45 0:32:46 Percy tells Vax what happened in the Sunken Tomb →

Transcript Ep67 1:36:46 Why Percy’s been twitchy about Ripley

Things to note: 1) Vax is again the one to notice how agitated Percy is, confront him, and try to talk him down. 2) Vex checks Percy only once, at 1:42:51, when she thinks he might be far out of line. Even that is very gentle, and she mostly lets it go. Otherwise, everything she … Continue reading Transcript Ep67 1:36:46 Why Percy’s been twitchy about Ripley →
