as always with adaptation stuff i would truly love to get like . play by play on what was chosen to keep and what was chosen to change and the reasons why just because i’m curious and i have some thoughts both loving and critical (ba dum tiss) about the contents of the first three eps but i think i’ll prob hold off on my personal I Didn’t Like This Choice until there’s a full season to contextualize it just because a bunch of stuff that i’m feeling more :/ about . the back of brain is like generating innumerable situations where said choice is forgivable/less frustrating to me so i will simply wait and hope to be given reasons to forgive

#that said . and this is said with full acknowledgement that the cast is very very involved in writing #there is an interesting trend of aspects of vex and keyleth’s core attitudes/fears being shifted to someone else or removed entirely #that is like. not super surprising given . some trends with female characters in animation writing #but is occasionally disappointing. not in a ruinous way at all just kind :/#i will hold off on my keyleth complaints re ep 3 until they have more grounding #but i will say i will mourn the loss of the ‘unproven ally’ aspect of vex vs saundor for the entirety of vex’s tlovm characterization #all of that said my attitude with tlovm will always remain. fun and cool additional story. i just think the writing for the show #isn’t always the strongest . like there are many occasions where my love for cr is what drives my engagement not the compellingness #of the writing. which is why i’ve been so hype about hearing they’re moving away from sticking as close to campaign as possible like.#PLEASE give me a satisfying narrative over one that matches the campaign. but when they Are pulling from the campaign #it’s occasionally frustrating to see trends in who loses more complex pieces #tlovm spoilers #tlovm #critical role
