It's not that fact that The Legend of Vox Machina is an animated series that sets it apart from the other fantasy shows listed above. But the nature of what's been tossed over the side is wholly different in nature as a result, anyone unfamiliar with the source material won't notice what they're missing. (The characters on Game of Thrones, for example, crossed vast oceans and endless deserts like they were hopping in a cab from the East Village to Hell's Kitchen.) Which is unfortunate, because of course it's exactly those layers of historical detail that fundamentally shape the world in question, and its inhabitants.Īmazon's funny, violent and well-realized The Legend of Vox Machina, based on the popular web series Critical Role, is no different - a lot of things gets lost in translation. But they've got a point: Television adaptations must prioritize plot over established, painstakingly wrought characterization, interiority and even geography.

Pop Culture Happy Hour 'Peacemaker' takes aim at a broad, stationary target - with machine gunsįans of the source material inevitably grouse about the elements that get lost in the shuffle, because that's what fans do.
