Currently rewatching episode 40.
People in the comments seem actually convinced that the fucking skull could have prevented the Chroma Conclave arc from happening, and that Marisha prevented that cool story line from unfolding by meta gaming. For fuck’s sake.
- EVERYONE but Grog was convinced the skull was evil, because Matt made it pretty damn clear that it was evil.
- Marisha isn’t even the key player during those scenes.
- Allura explicitly says at the end that the skull was full of shit.
- Nothing would have kept the Chroma Conclave arc from happening. A DM does not throw 4 ancient dragons into a campaign if there’s an easy rewind button for them to be found within one episode.
- Keyleth being pissed about the party keeping secrets from her has been a thing for three episodes now and well established and given the stressful situation is perfectly justified.
- Though of course nothing Marisha or Keyleth ever do is justified because she’s not cool doing it or making dirty jokes while doing it. And metagaming in this “fan”dom means “A half elf is doing something I disagree with” 9 times out of 10 anyway.
Other highlights include continued complaints about the party trying to keep Trinket alive, and how mean of Laura it is to be emotionally invested enough in him to make Travis break character. I’ve actually seen someone argue that it shows disrespect for her husband or whatever. Why do people suck so much.
(And if everyone could just stop engaging that Fourth Reich Nazi in the comment section, that’d be great, y’all.)
