Yo.
I made the decision to include the subtitles on this one, since it's tough to hear Ashley on the laptop at points. Thought I'd keep it consistent and include them on the animated segment too.
Hope you enjoy the video
Thanks for those!
Thanks!
You're amazing!!!
i really appreciate u fr that! thx!
thank you for this video. I love it
Wait your telling me Pike doing Astral Projection was literally her Skyping into the battle??
That’s amazing.
This was the example I gave my brother of how the game circumstances translated into the show, and I think it was the thing that got him curious enough to check it out.
(spoilers for the animated show)
It's also why she flickers out. Session ended on a cliffhanger and Ashley wasn't able to make it to the next session.

Amazing.
Was it really when someone was making saving throws?
@@iddomargalit-friedman3897 nah it was very different originally, not nearly as tense. still a great use of it in the animated show tho.
bruh, that's freaking awesome. I was wondering why they did that
I love that Pike's fighting style is basically Captain America if he was super focused on the "In God We Trust" part of the dollar bill.
That feels more like a paladin description, but... a war cleric and a paladin are basically the same thing, right? 😁
@@IceMetalPunk Yeah, once you add personal character choices and flavor, there's a lot of overlap between the classes in terms of the kinds of characters you can make. Like how in Campaign 3, [SPOILER FOR EP. 11]
Chetney seems like a rogue for all intents and purposes, but he's actually a Blood Hunter.
@@BeinIan That was one of the best "gotcha" moments in C3 so far! 😁 And it made Travis so happy 💕
Oh she’s most def the Rodgers in this group.
@@BeinIan and uh, welllllll, a LITTLE more. I’d elaborate but dammed if River Song isn’t pointing a gun to my head and saying “spoilers”.
The skeleton's jaw falling off is such a choice piece of animation!
I agree, I've seen this scene a few times now and it never fails to make me chuckle.
I don't know if it's a reference or not but there was a very similar scene in corpse bride, right before the duel sequence
@@Antimonium Laura says that Vox's jaws dropped when they saw Pike (no relation).
@@MrUmakemelaff my jaw would have dropped too, that was pretty epic :)
It was always a bummer having Ashley away during Blindspot's run, but the story potential it gave when she was able to Skype in or attend in person was great. Astral Projection Pike was a legendary moment, and how it influenced Yasha's story in C2 was also great improv and collaborative storytelling from Matt and Ashley. Still, 1000% better having her around full time
She was a holy holy gnome.
Yeah, Fearn seems like her strongest character so far, in terms of concept and RP etc
Her and Marisha both came in swinging for season 3 actually, big improvement over the last 2 campaigns.
Fun fact, Pike's get more kills in this episode (episode 32) than Scanlan gets in the entire campaign until episode 110, five before the finale!
This has been a friendly reminder that Clerics are broken
Playing a tempest cleric rn, and he's a powerhouse
I'm currently playing a necromantic Death Domain cleric, and our last session just got us to level 5. If you don't know... that's when he gets to learn Animate Dead 😁 The session ended with my guy being like, "So, everyone, I had a chat with Kuliak [my goddess] on the trip home, and I'd like to introduce you to a new friend. Everyone say hi to Sal." *Casts Animate Dead on a pile of bones*
I can't wait for Sal the Skeleton to help us through the dungeon next session 😀
"You misunderstand the situation. I am the healer, I decide who lives and who DIES!!"
@@WiseSageBum Played a Tempest Cleric in a Ravnica campaign. Divine bringer of justice in service to Warleader Aurelia. At level 2 he killed two bears in one Thunderwave using Channel Divinity: Destructive Wrath. I may never go back to Life Cleric again :D
As a life domain cleric st lvl 14…. Nah hes immortal at this point. I face tanked a dragon and got out with full hp.
She wasn't always there when you wanted her. But she was always there when you needed her.
So glad Ashley is always at the table now.
And in such a chaotic vibe.
And what a character she chose to play full time! Fearne is really just Ashley making up for all the times she couldn't be chaotic 🤣
I love the parallel of Pike astral projecting and Ashley calling in
I love how bad ass they made Pike and Keyleth in the anime. I cry every time I see it cause it's just so cool.
i LOVE how Pike airstrikes her way into the battle, just to great everyone with " *sup* "
8:09 The sky lights with golden aura as our literal golden hero returns. It's up there in the moments with Episode 3's Percy going full mask on the driver and Episode 4's Keyleth being the lightbringer. What magical moments in an epic show so far.
Tears! Literal tears. So many people shit on the animated because it's not identical to the show or its not what "they pictured in their head" but this was one of my favorite moments from VM and I love the way the show did it!
Top 3 moment for me so far. Probably the #1 non-grog moment
I also literally cried at this scene the first time I watched it!
It is the "Legend" of Vox Machina, and legends usually get warped and twisted the longer its around. In the netflix show "The Witcher", Jaskier (the bard) goes on a quest with Geralt (Witcher). Long story short, by the end, the bard exaggerates the story to make his song sound better. Any difference to the source material can be chalked up to the story being retold in a bar and the teller messed up some details and someone else corrects them or something along those lines. That's how I justify a certain missing Storming from the show. He was long dead by the end of the campaign and wasn't there for the whole Veccnapocalypse so most wouldn't know or remember him aside from the gang and friends. I can guess the real reason why he wasn't included but what can you do...
FYI, it's entirely possible to love and enjoy the show and never heard anyone complaining about it. This is the first I'm hearing about it and I'm going to promptly forget!
I have yet to find any evidence of people shitting on the animated show.
right there with ya
Also, I can't stress enough the fact that they are SUCH GOOD VOICE ACTORS!
Not just voice actors, but a bunch of nerdy ass voice actors
after not watching any of campaign 1 these are so helpful when i see something and go "did that really happen in game". Also loving the direction this show is taking the scenes they feel more fluid
Yeah, it also happen to me in the scene where Scanlan just clears an entire mansion by himself. I was like: "Well there's no way that could've actually happen in the game". But little did I know that it fucking did.
@@Br-kc2jy Scanbo when watching it for the first time in campaign 1 was glorious.
@@Br-kc2jy Not only that but he did way better in the original. They had to thrash Scanlan around a little bit more in the animated series to ramp up the tension. Bards are just THAT GOOD.
scanbo was probably my favorite episode of campaign 1
The sound of Pike's mace returning to her hand at 9:30 sold that scene for me. It felt so badass.
Maaaan, i thought i could handle this show, but everytime i just have tears of joy by watching it
I love seeing Ashley happy! Happy Ashley is the best Ashley! She makes Pike such an adorable badass!
Animated Pike became the Agent of the Everlight, then told her blessed friends at Whitestone "Now go crush some blanking heads!" And they fired on all cylinders live.
She’s the best MONSTA!
Pikey is our queen!!!
This entire show is based on a dnd game and its real life events, bloody brilliant.
I haven’t watched the campaign yet specifically because I knew the animated show was coming out and I guess I prefer to be spoiled the other way around lol, but I’m glad you made this specific video because besides being blown away with how awesome this moment was in the cartoon, all I could think of was “holy crap, how did this possibly unfold on the table?” And now I know!
You're doing the Everlight's work.
Oh my god I'm just now realizing that the background score literally is an orchestral version of "Pike Trickfoot"
Thor arriving in wakanda vibes lol
These videos are beyond brilliant. You get the real sense of every little choice from the animation and how it's all just one big refference to their games. The skelleton dropping its jaw just as Laura said she did. The fact that Pike was separate from the group because Ashley is just unable to join in due to her work and how she skyped in for the game and Matt had to find a way to squeeze her into the narrative. It's all just... Oh the feels.
SHE'S A MONSTAAAAHHHHHHHH
I have watched this so many times and seen lots of reactions to this scene. It's what us critters do, we delight in the joy that others have seeing something we love for the first time. With all the reactions I have seen, I have never heard anyone describe this scene in the way I personally thought it was meant to honor. Pike is Thor. The scene in Infinity War in Wakanda when Thor arrives. Pike coming in here is so very much like that and even gave me the same excitement and thrills. Clerics are very under-appreciated in D&D for anything besides "the healer". Pike is arguably the most powerful one in the group. She did win the battle royale that she was in afterall.
100%. Even watching back the original segment from them at the table, it gives me real Ragnarok Thor vibes as Pike jumps off the wall, glowing with divine energy and absolutely decimating all those mook skeletons that would've been a pain to deal with. I think the Amazon show captures that feeling amazingly, just Pike being able to be the MONSTAH of the group like she's always been.
Ashley's expression when she hears the description of Pike leaping into the fray was delightful lol.
This moment in the LoVM had me cheering out loud with a tear in my eye. So awesome!
With the colors in the sky it was easy to guess it had something to do with Pike, but it was still awesome!
I shouted Polter-Pike at that moment and scared my cat out of the room by mistake!
Such a great moment during the campaign and LoVM!
I love this series of comparisons! Good job, the one and only ArseQueef!
you dah best Mr.Queef
Why did I read this in Grog's voice, though?
This is the precise reason why I main clerics.
I cried when this scene came on was so glad it was done the justice it deserved 👏
Thank you for these - they bring me great joy!
This whole show brought literal happy tears every time I watch it.
Great work seeing the campaign scenes that influenced the animated show. Both are pretty cool!
8:13 what i built my cleric to do
8:37 what my entire party thinks i built him for
good job @arsequeef, on all of these youre doing. keep it up!
Pike going “Strike with the divine virtue of the Everlight” in an ethereal voice, only to immediately follow it up with “Now go crush some FUKKING HEADS!” just… Ugh, so great.
Still one of my favorite Exandria characters, period.
I love how Sam is 100% simping for Pike, always. And Ashley's absolute delight at being able to show up and help! Her taking a victory lap when she got the hdywds? LEGENDARY. I want to cry, this is just so great 😍😭😍
GAG ME WITH A SPOON, BRIARWOODS!
This was one of my absolute favorite moments in the series. I had no idea this existed when I watched the show so finding out all the cool stories behind it is so fun!
Campaign 1 pureness truth and joy will never be matched
9:22 Eat your heart out, Mjolnir.
It’s amazing they kept this for the animation as well.
she does us Gnomes proud
Wow the happiness moment is incredible!
Doesn't expect everyone so enjoyed it
Sup?!
And our hearts all melt in yellow flames
As soon as the sky lit up I was so hyped.
That entrance had me standing up, cheering at my screen.
I missed the skeleton'sjaw dropping when I watched the show. It just made me chuckle
The must've had so much fun doing this scene on Legend!
Now that's how you do a Deus Ex Machina.
I mean, like, it's literally
Pike ex Machina
(yep, pun definitely intended)
Pike ex Astra!
The little lady is a monstah!
I never watched campaign 1 and start and currently still watching Campaign 2. I watched the TV Show and my mind was blown how Pike flew in and caused that much awesome chaos. Now seeing the actual session, whilst great on it's own and looks like an amazing session, the TV show was so much more epic. I wish we could turn D&D into something like that and keep it balanced in a way the show did. Fab work all around, love it all!
4:02
Tactical gnuke, INCOMING!
Pike on arrival: BRING ME THANOS!!!!
Pikes scenes have really been top notch this season
Now THIS is how you do an deus ex machina
Oh Sam Riegel's reaction to the crowd parting and Pike showing up. 😂 He doesn't know what to do with this knowledge.
Beardless Travis scares me :D
I love how the show changes it up just the smallest bit to make it so much cooler while still keeping the heart of what actually happened. I feel like the skeleton's jaw dropping was done in part because of what Sam said and Pike blessing everyone's weapons was a great bit of storytelling.
Holy shit i got goosebumbs
god i love Pike and Ashley so much
when people say clerics are not damage dealers and pike is like hold my my bear
I gotta say that Ashley's voice acting in the series is on point.
borderlands 3 the arrival of lilith even had the "sup"
So happy someone else picked this up, before even considering that they were pulling from Thor with the lighting riding and mace return to hand, I noticed Lilith's entry. "Sup"
It's in Borderlands 2 as well
favorite moment in the show
The foreshadowing
This gives strong Thor at the end of Infinity War vibes and I LOVE it!
Wow Ashley went in a wayyyy different direction with Pike’s voice for the show,idk which version I prefer
Left out some other gameplay moments that were folded into the scene, including Scanlan's impromptu marriage proposal.
Clerics, man.
The next time someone says playing a cleric is lame, I'm just going to show them the scenes from both the campaign and the episode.
Pike literally dropping down riding a lightning bolt like Thor in Wakanda.
literally a Divine Inthorvention.
i thought borderlands 3 lilith's entrance including the "sup"
Pike chooses to embody Sarenrae's warrior side, clearly.
You guys remember skype?
Ah yes one of those of fan moments (omg this is a thing now)* all og fans pushes up the I'm superior glasses 👓*"well in the original ..."
So much power in one sentence
I never seen Critical Role before the Animated. I am now enjoying them. But when Pike threw that Mace, I thought of Thor throwing Stormbreaker in Infinity War and said out loud: "You're all screwed now..."
Pike is a badass. Cleric FTW!
She is a HOLY HOLY GNOME--
Ashley is fuckin adorable
epic scenne
this shit is 11/10
I’m sad no fainting happened 🤣
4:16 I was really expecting someone to make an internet connection joke here but I guess not :\
I am watching this, as Real American is playing n another tab.
2:50 Why is she asking Matt's permission to play her character?
I feel like Pike is just Ellie but in DnD
Why is the scar on the wrong side of the eye
Probably flipped image
"The scar's not on the wrong side!"
@@samuelstensgaard4828 This sounds like zuko reference
All of Vox Machina would commit suicide together to save this character

Try to change my mind
Fun fact, Pike's get more kills in this episode (episode 32) than Scanlan gets in the entire campaign until episode 110, five before the finale!
