LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA TRAILER SERIES

The nine-episode series welcomes a host of MCU vets, including Mark Ruffalo as Smart Hulk, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky/the Abomination, and Benedict Wong as Wong. Directed by Kat Coiro (Episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9) and Anu Valia (Episodes 5, 6, 7) with Jessica Gao as head writer, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law follows Jennifer Walters as she navigates the complicated life of a single, 30-something attorney who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk. Streaming exclusively on Disney+ beginning August 17, the new comedy series stars Tatiana Maslany as She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters, a lawyer who specializes in superhuman-oriented legal cases. Think of Legend of Vox Machina as less of a show adapted from a Dungeons & Dragons campaign and more like an animated adult fantasy show, and you’ll go in feeling much more confident about enjoying it.ĭisney+ has released a new trailer for Marvel Studios’ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law at San Diego Comic-Con 2022. That’s not to say there aren’t specific D&D elements scattered throughout the story - this is, after all, a show based on a role playing game - but you won’t be confused about anything happening if you don’t play yourself.

The benefit of taking a table game to an animated world is that you’re not watching a Dungeon Master explain dice rolls and spells. While there are certainly plenty of fandom in-jokes and easter eggs that longtime viewers will benefit from, you don’t have to be a devoted member of the fandom to enjoy the series, the crux of which is built on the characters and their relationship with each other.Įven better - you don’t have to even have to understand Dungeons & Dragons in order to watch the show. And because of that, the show is entirely accessible to people who aren’t devoted fans of Critical Role. The first two episodes are a completely original, new story that serve to introduce viewers to the world of Exandria and to these adventurers. The Legend of Vox Machina centers on a group of ragtag adventurers: half-elf twins Vax’ildan and Vex’ahlia (O’Brien and Bailey), the gnome bard Scanlan (Riegel), the human gunslinger Percy (Jaafe), the barbarian Grog (Willingham), the half-elf druid Keyleth (Ray), the gnome cleric Pike (Johnson). Is The Legend of Vox Machina Series Accessible To New Fans? The animated special, in tandem, grew to become an animated series which Amazon picked up and greenlit two seasons of, expanding the original episode count from 10 to 14 - 24 episodes of television overall. Within literal minutes, the team had blown past their initial goal, going on to raise more than $10 million dollars and becoming the fifth most-successful Kickstarter campaign ever.

In 2018, having gained immense popularity in both the pop culture world and gaming world, Critical Role spun off into their own company, becoming their own multimedia corporation composed of original shows, a YouTube and Twitch channel, and an entire brand based around “a group of nerdy-ass voice actors who sit around and play Dungeons and Dragons.” When the company launched a Kickstarter in 2019, they anticipated reaching a modest amount of $750,000 - what would allow them to create a 22-minute animated special based on their first Vox Machina campaign. He was and the rest, as they say, is history - history that turned into a weekly streamed role-playing show that currently airs every Thursday night with hundreds of devoted fans watching along. Primarily a YouTube and Twitch channel, Geek & Sundry had been acquired by Legendary Entertainment and Day thought that Mercer could try streaming their home game on Twitch for interested viewers - if he was willing. A few years in, connections led Mercer to Felicia Day who at the time was running the multimedia production company Geek & Sundry. The origin of the group came from something simple: a living room Dungeons & Dragons game. Currently in its recently-launched third campaign (Vox Machina was the first, The Mighty Nein was the second), Critical Role features friends and voice actors Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, Marisha Ray, Ashley Johnson, Sam Riegel, Liam O’Brien, Taliesin Jaafe, and Matthew Mercer.
