Critically, it could use some refining, but as a fan of the game, sometimes it just feels good to watch a campaign play out like how we all imagined it in our heads. It's still funny and heartfelt and epic, but it needs a bit of polishing - something that I hope will happen in Season 3.

While it's been exciting to return to The Legend of Vox Machina, it almost feels like the series needs to deviate from the original web series campaign a bit in order to fully find its footing as a TV show. The quest nature of the episodes provides a good skeleton but ultimately leads to a necessity of keeping up with the pace of the main plot rather than digging into any one story for too long. This season tackles the Chroma Collective, a group of villainous dragons that attack humanity that the group must face off against. But it feels like we've been given a taste, and then it is taken away. It's not to say these characters don't have their moments, and they don't shine in those moments - they do. Of course, we get little to nothing new with Percy, and Pike ( Ashley Johnson) is once again just there. Grog ( Travis Willingham) and Scanlan ( Sam Riegel) get their time, but it feels rushed, simply because their stories feel like side missions to the main mission. Marisha Ray's Keyleth gets her moment to shine but largely exists as an auxiliary character this season. We get some background into Vex ( Laura Bailey) and Vax's ( Liam O'Brien) backstory, though it sort of lingers in the background with Vax's own storyline taking the spotlight. There are a lot of characters, and while we focus on a few each season, it feels like we're short-changing the others. While 12 episodes are the same number of episodes that we got for Season 1, it doesn't feel like enough time. Not only is it an animated show, and not only is it fantasy, but there's this added layer of adaptation from tabletop gaming that might only become more overt with time.Īnother issue is the season's pacing. But, as seasons go on, I wonder how niche this show might become.
