The Legend of Vox Machina (TV Series) The Terror of Tal'Dorei - Part 1 (2022) User Reviews

A great start

[joeymckaywright · 8/10 · 28 January 2022]

A very good start. I am looking forward to what comes. It felt they were trying to do a lot of exposition, but it didn't fall flat. Had some great jokes, the animation is simple but detailed, and I'm excited to see what comes.

A slow start but it gets better

The series starts a bit slowly, as there is the necessary character introduction before the actual meat of the story begins in later episodes. This feels like the weakest of the six episodes released thus far.

Just don't let Auman write any episode of this show again

I felt like the crew was still in the Kickstarter mindset and forgot that the show is going to be on a platform where non-CR fans will see it too.

The humor didn't gross me out that much, but I believe that a couple of gags with pissing and vomiting could be replaced with the moments that would make new viewers care for these characters - in the first episode they were nothing but a walking stereotype - and balance the weird pacing.

(Yes, I've seen the show and I know they kinda begin that way, but this is a series now and you gotta have something that'll catch the audience)

Felt lacking

It is filled with jokes and most fall flat. Knowing humor is different for everyone it might hit the funny bone for others. 1 example being a character continues puking at the very start it fell completely flat for me and childish even though the show seems to want to distance itself from kids with nudity and violence.

For the 20+ minutes of animation I got the basic gist of certain characters so that is a plus however they felt rather shallow with certain 1 beat characteristics.

A horny guy, dumb brute, snobby noble etc. With 1 episode watched it is still servicable hoping it gets better.

A bit Unrealistic... Decent D&D

Without spoilers I would say there is a tad too much swearing and "Adult" (Seems excessive)

Their first major battle is just ridiculous and no experienced D&D group would have survived it, so I dislike that the Producers put it in there for effect instead of taking a measured, balance approach to what the "Party" would try to tackle.
