Review: The Witcher Season 3 Henry Cavill's Last Stand as the White Wolf

Review: The Witcher Season 3 Henry Cavill's Last Stand as the White Wolf

Intense, intriguing, well-written, fantastic monster design and fight choreography, but serious lack of action. The first batch is full of mystery, magic, and game-of-throne-esque political scheming but will the final three be a worthy send-off?

Alice in Borderland Season 2 Review

In season two, we meet people involved in running these games at an even higher level: the Face Cards.

Legend Of Vox Machina NYCC Panel

Hey O&G Fans, New York Comic Con 2022 was awesome this year. From the four new levels for panel space to all the great vendors this year. I got the chance to attend the Legend of Vox Machina panel and if haven’t watched Season one, catch up on prime video.

Vox Machina’s crew consists of the half-elven archer twins Vax (Liam O’Brien) and Vex Vessar (Laura Bailey), the goliath barbarian Grog Strongjaw (Travis Willingham), the gnome bard Scanlan Shorthalt (Sam Riegel), the gnome cleric Pike Trickfoot (Ashley Johnson), the insecure druid Keyleth (Marisha Ray), and the tormented gunslinger Percy de Rolo (Taliesin Jaffe).

In my announcer voice “last season on Vox Machina” Our heros restored the sun and justice to Percy’s home kingdom of Whitestone. But upon a homecoming to their homebase kingdom of Emon, a force of dragons, called the Chroma Conclave, descended upon the region. At the start of the panel a clip of Scanlan singing a rap ditty recapping all of season 1. He did a better job of recapping season one, than my terrible written voice over lol.

The panel touched a few things we could expect from season 2. Will the rogue sex-loving Scanlan find love? Vex and Vax’s ride-or-die sibling relationship may waver. According to O’Brien, “That’s going to come into question. They’re going to have to grow outside of each other and with each other.” Pike and Grog’s friendship will also get tested, but “can’t say what it is.” She did share that “Pike does more healing.

Fans were treated to a sneak peek of the first episode picking up immediately where the first season ended Vox Machina, along with the rest of Eomn’s citizens, attempt to escape the massive invaders and the destruction they bring and of course some truly epic dragon fights on the horizon.

It was also revealed the series was green lit for a season three, but the cast members joked that they were only there to talk about season two. The panel was an enjoyable experience especially for fans of Critical Role who filled with cheers and awesome cosplay of the characters. The Legend Of Vox Machina season two premiering January 2023.
