#honestly. I HATED vex until a good few episodes after the arc ended

[nightymein69]

i’m not surprised, really.

but when they started fighting alongside the villagers without debating whether they should leave them to it while they rested.

when the person in the dungeon was not an old woman, and they helped her without accusing her of being suspicious and deciding to leave her there basically to die unless they remembered to come get her out if they defeated the briarwoods.

i had this moment of “i had a feeling they were going to do this”

because. the thing is. i started campaign one at the whitestone arc and i was like “wait these are supposed to be these legendary heroes vox machina???? what?” because i’m watching vex argue that they should take a long rest while the villagers are trying to fight undead giants in a rebellion that vm started. i’m watching grog literally say “shit happens” when keyleth says that villagers are dying because of it. i’m watching basically the whole group treat an elderly woman in the dungeon of evil lords as a potential threat when there was absolutely no reason to believe so [ every roll they made up until the hand thing decided that they should have believed what the woman was saying ]. this woman was begging them to let her out because she would die if she was kept in there and they basically said it was their decision to make whether she lived or died.

i love vox machina, honestly i do. but, in the whitestone arc? they act really shittily toward people.

taking what happened exactly and putting that in the show? i don’t think many people who hadn’t seen c1 would have stuck around to see how they grow after the end of this arc.
