I will not apologize for the person I will become once we get animated Caleb Widogast.

It's a teaser of who I'll become when we get animated Essek Thelyss.

My biggest hope for the Mighty Nein animated series is that they capture the tone correctly and don't use the same tone for TMN that they used for TLOVM.

I thought the tone in TLOVM was great for Vox Machina, it was littered with Scanlan style adult humor that suited the adult-style comedy/drama very well but I dont think that exact same tone would work well for the Mighty Nein.

Even though TMN had dirty humor, I think it's style of humor was different than TLOVM. Sex scene cut-aways and projectile vomiting, over the top gore and poop humor throwaway gags I don't think would hit the way for TMN as it does in TLOVM even though it exists in TMN.

I think that in the way that TLOVM is framed around Scanlan style humor, I think TMN is framed around Jester humor- which is still dirty, but sillier and a bit more naive and familiar that fits the mature tone of TMN much better than the throwaway humor of TLOVM.

And i'm sure TMN will be gore-y too but sometimes the gore in TLOVM was over the top in a way that detracted from some of the major villain deaths and made them less impactful when compared to some disposable npc whose skull gets exploded in a few scenes prior. What I mean is that I hope it's gore-y where it counts. Like Caleb crushing the guards while storming the sanitarium in rage and vengeance is not as impactful if everyone dies in a similar fashion all the time, if you know what I mean?

#critical role #tmn #tmna #the legends of vox machina #the mighty nein #the mighty nein animated #tlovm #sometimes i feel that too much gore makes characters seem disposable? if that makes sense? like you never get attached to npcs bc it feels #less like characters and more like meat waiting to be torn apart in gruesome ways. Archie had this problem in season 1 I feel. #his sacrifice didn't feel impactful at all. he felt like a throwaway and part of that i feel is because his death didnt feel unique #I think too much gore also starts to feel less realistic in a setting. it feels fine for TLOVM bc I think TLOVM plays with tropes in a way #that works for them and their characters but wont always work for the style of TMN

Unpopular opinion maybe but the Essek treason reveal is one of campaign two’s best plot twists and I think it should remain such for the animated series. Should they take advantage of other POVs to foreshadow that it’s him? Absolutely yes. But that reveal is too good and iconic and important to replace with dramatic irony.

#I’ve thought this the entire time and my mind remains unchanged lmao #whatever the show does I’m sure will be great but. I know how I want this to play out XD #essek thelyss #the mighty nein animated

[neinofthem]

do you guys ever think about. animated the fancy and the fooled. like ohhhhhhh my god i’m going to be SICK like the BETRAYAL on caleb’s face the GUILT on essek’s. when he tries to get out of the cuffs. ‘yes, friend, what are you doing?’ OW. ‘i would like very much for you to see the sunrise’ FUCKKK.

I really want the Mighty Nein animated series to start with the fight with Lorenzo. Zoom in on Molly and freeze-frame, and he starts narrating. "I'm sure you're wondering how I got here. To answer that, we need to start at the beginning."

Smash-cut to Mollymauk waking up in the snow. "Too far back! Too far back! Closer to the middle, maybe."

Then the Nestled Nook. He's giving Jester a tarot reading while he narrates about meeting them and the beginnings of their adventure.

End of the season, back to the fight with Lorenzo. "So that's how we got here. And these people, these assholes, had finally become the family I'd always been searching for. And no one was going to keep me fr-"

Dies mid narration. Season close. 1000 points emotional damage.

There are so many moments that I'm anticipating for the Mighty Nein animated series. There are so many moments.

But one that consistently sticks with me is the moment with Fjord at the Kiln.

The scene is already plenty cinematic on its own. You can imagine volcanic underlighting. You can imagine the peaceful quiet of the night. Fjord, alone, sword in hand, is finally done. He challenges his patron and holds his pact blade against his chest.

But we can do a little more with this.

Because the funny thing about that moment is that every time Fjord would have a nasty dream and sneak out during C2, Matt would have Travis roll a stealth check. If only to see if he could make it out without being noticed. Sometimes his rolls weren't great.

But the night at the Kiln, Travis rolled a natural twenty on stealth. That's cool, except in hindsight. I hadn't realized until a re-watch, but because of that natural twenty-

Well, because of that, if Fjord had done enough damage to go unconscious beside the volcano, no one would've known.

Crazy, huh?

.....We can use that.

Have Fjord at the volcano. 

Take a second where he's just standing there: considering the blade. 

Then, he brings it up to his chest, delivers his ultimatum and waits for an answer. We cut to the Nein sleeping, huddled together. We cut to the Dust family, also sleeping. Spend a few more moments with Fjord, where nothing happens.

Then he steps forward and drives the blade into his chest. Give the audience a second to process.

Cut back to those who are sleeping.

Fjord drives the blade deeper in and takes another step forward.

Cut to the sleeping Nein.

Cut to one more step, one more push, a soft wind that eases the pain, and then the final throw.

Draw the scene out. Add to the anxiety of the moment by cutting back and forth. Have all of this go on while reminding the audience that the rest of the Nein have no way to know or intervene if things get bad.

Let's get the newbies screaming at the screen for everybody to wake up and keep Fjord from killing himself.

That might be fun.
