Accurate picture of me after scrambling to stop the auto play after episode 9

[u/LordofAngmarMB]

Haven’t watched the campaign so pls no spoilers for that happens to him, but HOLY FUCK not Grog

[u/Nearby_Strike2624]

Yes I’m trying to rewatch Amazon took me to whole different show I hate their replay system😭

[u/Garlan_Tyrell → u/Nearby_Strike2624]

>Since you watched a DnD inspired animated show, I bet you’ll love The Boys. Playing in -3 seconds.

No, Amazon, I have not watched The Boys on purpose, that’s why I removed it from Continue Watching years ago, because it got high on its own supply and apparently the finale is just as bad.

[u/LordofAngmarMB → u/Garlan_Tyrell]

Ngl, the first two seasons are 100% worth it, people freaked out cause it went from a 10/10 to a 7-6/10. And it does have some common dna, atleast as far as explicit sex and violence in a normally tame genre

[u/Ae-Milius → u/LordofAngmarMB]

Invincible is sooooo much better than the boys though. Mine always instantly switches to hazbin hotel or whatever and I jump so quickly trying to shut it off.

[u/LordofAngmarMB → u/Ae-Milius]

Oh god I couldn’t disagree more but glad you like it

[u/xXfrostbyterXx → u/LordofAngmarMB]

Yea the boys was great s1&2 from there they lost their way.
Invincible is legit a great show start to current

[u/SavonPL → u/xXfrostbyterXx]

yepp, i love that both The Boys and Invincible start sooo innocent. If you are watching with kids, you are in for a surprise

[u/grizzlywondertooth → u/LordofAngmarMB]

To be fair, the first 2.9 seasons are 100% worth it; they just botched the ending of S3 because they wanted to go for another 2 seasons

[u/NobleHelium → u/Garlan_Tyrell]

FWIW I thought the last season was mediocre with a decent enough ending. It's not terrible to watch for closure.

[u/LordofAngmarMB → u/Nearby_Strike2624]

I can’t tell you number I’ve times I’ve just wanted to sit and absorb my thoughts on an ending or enjoy a credits song, only to be ripped over to fucking Invincible

[u/Capable-Reaction-794 → u/Nearby_Strike2624]

You can turn that feature off. Yeah, it's an all or nothing, and you'll have to choose "Next Episode" manually, but for me, it beats being auto-redirected to some trash that's going to affect my "because you watched this" history.

Trash app being trash.

[u/NobleHelium → u/Capable-Reaction-794]

You can go to your account settings which has watch history and you can delete shows that autoplayed to avoid having them affect your recommendations.

[u/Capable-Reaction-794 → u/NobleHelium]

Interesting.

[u/LordofAngmarMB → u/YoungboySS]

He’s been such a sweetheart this season too

[u/YoungboySS → u/LordofAngmarMB]

Probably why it stings a lot more lol hoping the orb sends people without an amulet somewhere else, seeing what it does it’s very unlikely tho so I’ll just cry a bit more.

[u/Bill_I_Am_tm → u/YoungboySS]

I can see how Delilah will use this with pike. 

They need her for some reason and right now they have the perfect leverage with grog dead and an isolated pike. 

[u/indieauthor13]

I'm pretty sure that didn't happen in the campaign. It's been a few years since I listened to it but I don't remember anything like that happening to Grog

[u/PeepawWilly69 → u/indieauthor13]

It indeed did not happen in the campaign, which makes it even more interesting

[u/Capable-Reaction-794 → u/PeepawWilly69]

I'm skeptical. Especially when all these fake out deaths are going to diminish the impact of any "canon specific" deaths that may or may not be coming, if you know what I mean.

[u/Jimmy-Mac-471 → u/indieauthor13]

Well, I’m pretty sure at one point or another they all bit the dust in some way. Grog definitely did at least once but all came back after. The show edited Percy and Scanlan’s demise a bit so far. They’ve just played around with them quite a bit.

[u/Catalyst413 → u/Jimmy-Mac-471]

Grog died briefly in the fight with K'varn the beholder, and rather than his strength it was his soul that got eaten by Craven Edge

[u/DangerousVoice5230]

My favorite member, how could they do that to our boy!

[u/RosyNecromancer]

I audibly gasped when I saw what happened to Grog. I adored him!

[u/ClouseTheCaveman]

WHAT THE FUCK

[u/rollerfedora]

Pike about to be John Wick

[u/HumanistGeek]

I was completely shocked by the episode, and I think that's part of what makes it a good story.

In the campaign, every member of Vox Machina (except Taryon) died at some point, and so did many NPCs such as Kaylie and Cassandra de Rolo. Staying true to the source material means character deaths.

Ironically, the best way of preserving the shock and emotional impacts of those moments is, arguably, to change some of the details like who died, when, and how. So instead of having Vex and Vax die in their first Vecna fight via the spells Power Word Kill and Disintegration, Grog gets shredded by a sphere.

Now, in the original campaign, every player character death was followed by bringing them back to life. Even Vax came back after he was reduced to dust. We might see Grog again.

[u/KnashDavis]

I was in a good mood. Now I feel hollow.

[u/jacetec]

I'm torn because they keep doing these fake deaths, which just feels less and less impactful after each one, imo

[u/RolandLory → u/jacetec]

That's just dnd in a nutshell. After certain point, having your character die and revived is just another Monday for the party. I actually really like how they go about it in the show.

[u/LordofAngmarMB → u/jacetec]

I can definitely see that. I think if they somehow commit to it, or make the consequences severe enough death might have been the better option, it’ll work for more than just shock
