So, i feel like not too many people mention in the nerdy 80s intro, Talesin actually cast a spell, causing Marishas hair to blow, confirm he is actually somehow magical irl.
I think the animated intros are my favourite. Get me so hyped for more Vox Machina, the Mighty Nein that is coming soon, and the inevitable adaptation of Bell’s Hells
@@skylaralley2465 I was born in 89 but I could still recognize the 50's aesthetic when I was your age, bud. It should be easier for you since the Internet has been so developed in your time.
This came up on my for you page 3 days after campaign 3 episode 91. And now I'm crying. Bad timing but wow it's just like a snapshot of how time has passed for Critical Role. Thanks for putting it together.
yep took me a long time to convince friends to play with me, even then was only a couple times a year. i'd recommend looking for a group online or going to your local stores and trying to find one! It's scary but I recently found a group that's really gelling and fun to play with :)
Writing their own theme songs has definitely worked well for them, and the animated openings are top tier IMO. Like, that animated Bells Hells opening is *art*
Oh Hells... I don't know all the context for the Animated opening for Campaign 3, But it looked gorgeous to see the characters animated for the opening. That quick flash from Laudna puppeteering Pate to Delila puppeteering Laudna sent chills.
Oh man the OG C1 intro … I remember they also had character backstories that each cast member read but the art’s blurred out for … some reason? They’ve come a long way since Kraghammer.
@@vworpin9945, oh that’s great! I’ll have to see if I can find it. I think it was the episode after they killed K’Varn that I first had a nagging suspicion Acaba wasn’t going to be around.
It's blurred because they had been using some art of their characters that they didn't realize was fan art without permission. So they had to blur it until they either changed the art or got permission to use the art they had
Just now I realized than in the last one, during the hug scene with FCG, there is 3 frames when Fearne is pitpocketing Ashton, and Orym saw it with his stupid high Passive Perception xD
I think it's funny because he's really strong but when he's dressed as Grog I can't see him as anything else than scrawny 😂 Even a very well built human can't compare to a Goliath lol
I have to say of all the Critical Role intros , I love the first one from Campaign 3 at it just reminds me of the of an old board game that i played as a kid called Valley Of The Lost Dinosaurs, not to mention the costumes each member of the cast are wearing are incredible.
At 3:06, when Ashley enters the room wearing her glasses, I'm thinking it's a nod to a very old interview she did as a 16-year-old girl (she was voicing Gretchen Grundler in Recess). She's saying, "We're looking like our characters to me. He's looking like Gus (Courtland Mead), Ricky looks like Vince, Andy looks like T.J., and I am starting to look like Gretchen... minus the glasses!"
Ashley played Grechen?! That's awesome, learn something new every day about these guys. After listening to Matt DM for so long I hear him in half the games I play. Fikrul the Fanatic from Destiny, The Huntsman & Field team leader from Monster Hunter World, Core the Immortal from FFXV. Etc
welcome to the hobby!! :D hope you get to play soon/have been having fun if you have been! always happy to see new CR fans as well hope you're enjoying it
“Your turn to roll” is such a good song, and then they went and outdid themselves with “It’s Thursday night”. I haven’t even watched campaign 3 yet (almost done with 1 😅) and I love the animated intro, it’s so epic
It’s missing the OG intros with the character art and the players introducing each character while in character… “If you have ale, then you have a friend in Grog Strongjaw…”
I just realized that, the old intros before the Mighty Nein, they use the same rhythm (0:17) in Your Turn to Roll in the part in 4:17, it took me so long to realize
Was it the same as the first just without Robbie's scene? I only wanted to add one of each of the main ones, just so it flowed a little better! Why didn't I add the M9 reunited OP or the ones that changed the characters at the end :)
Only wanted to add the main version of each! Felt it was too similar tbh (probably would have added it if I made this now since I had forgot how much was changed at the time)
As DarthSinistris said, they were all voice actors in a similar sphere. Essentially Critical Role came from what originally was a one shot done as a celebration for Liam’s birthday. If you watch their individual interviews on “Between the Sheets” they talk about origins and how they all got together.
No intro has ever been better than the second intro of campaign 1. Nothing against the animated intros. They're great, but there's something about them in character costumes that just hits different. Plus the song isn't cringe.
Yes and no, while yeah it could give off that energy it felt like live action version of miniatures in a dnd combat map. The reason why I’m not all for it was because we had to deal with that horrendous rotoscoping one for a few months before they released the animated intro. 😂
Your Turn to Roll is easily the best intro out of all of them
It's hands down the best one
So, i feel like not too many people mention in the nerdy 80s intro, Talesin actually cast a spell, causing Marishas hair to blow, confirm he is actually somehow magical irl.
i've always loved that detail, the fact it's the only extraordinary thing in the whole intro lmao
I read "magical girl" and was like "yeah, Talesin would totally be a magical girl" 😂
Pyramids always are
Also Marisha elbowing someone next to her, it's definitely the most representative intro of the CR experience 😂
Lol I never thought about that but I love this interpretation :D
I completely forgot their first intro had Laura Bailey slinging a dollar store kids' toy bow XD
I adore how low budget it is, just Liam with a scarf on his head lmao
Love that they raided all their renfaire closets (mostly taliesin’s) to make it happen
The first mighty nein intro will always make me emotional.
Your turn to roll is just so good and iconic
I think the animated intros are my favourite. Get me so hyped for more Vox Machina, the Mighty Nein that is coming soon, and the inevitable adaptation of Bell’s Hells
i hope they all crossover in the animations as well.
It’s not talked about a lot, but man do I love the first intro from campaign 2. Then pretending to be nerdy kids in the 90s is just so wholesome
In the 90's?!!! Bro! What do you think the 90's were? Lol They're likely in the 80's or even the 70's.

@@aidanling4471 You think that's aggressive? Weird. I think you're reading me in the wrong tone.
The live action Vox Machina intro where they are cosplaying as there character’s so far is still my favourite
This came up on my for you page 3 days after campaign 3 episode 91. And now I'm crying. Bad timing but wow it's just like a snapshot of how time has passed for Critical Role. Thanks for putting it together.
Yep I remember when each of these came out, C1's second one blew my mind back in the day!
Same. The moment they hugged FCG, Oh man...
I HAVE ONLY JUST REALISED THE CAMPAIGN 2 ANIMATED INTRO BACKGROUND CHANTING IS A SLOW TRANSITION FROM VOX MACHINA TO MIGHTY NEIN.
God damn
I went back and listened again because I thought there was no way, and HOLY SHIT, YOU WERE RIGHT
THAT IS SO COOL THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT!!!
That’s awesome
This is so fucking nerdy it makes me cry. I want nerdy friends to do stupid nerdy stuff with.

2nd intro from Campaign 1 is still dope as hell

Like, that animated Bells Hells opening is *art*
Completely agree, as much nostalgia as I have for the JCM theme the vocal ones are so catchy!
Also Clark Oswald pfp let's go
Oh Hells...

The two Mighty Nein intros are absolutely peak CR! ❤

just watched it again to look for it and holy crao youre right that brings me so much joy! those details are amazing
That is amazing.
I just appreciate Matt in that 70's style, and also how everyone else nailed the archetypes, and also go "Oh no" at Sam
I love the intro where the team comes out dressed like their characters.
Travis' look is the coolest in my opinion
I think it's funny because he's really strong but when he's dressed as Grog I can't see him as anything else than scrawny 😂 Even a very well built human can't compare to a Goliath lol

You can really see how much it all took off when you compare the first intro to the second.
Nice compilation my dude! Im new to Dnd and Crit Role, Nice to have all the intros in one video!
welcome to the hobby!! :D

Thanks for the compilation! :) It's awesome :)
I love the music and animation. Absolutely adore the cosplay of their characters. :3
It’s missing the OG intros with the character art and the players introducing each character while in character…
“If you have ale, then you have a friend in Grog Strongjaw…”
I still can't fully except that the main DM voiced like 100 characters in media, like Jotaro, Chrom, Yusuke, HONOR OF HOSHIDO and etg.
I just love the 7:01 when matthew shows up after a magical fart.
Yep never gonna unsee this now

2018 slaps
Matt is awesome
Brb, Gonna rewatch the Otohan final fight again just to feel something ☠️
Best show of the century
I love the Baldur's Gate theme music on the original intro.
I think one was missed, there was a 'live action' version of the first campaign 3 animated intro, after Robbie left
Was it the same as the first just without Robbie's scene?
I only wanted to add one of each of the main ones, just so it flowed a little better! Why didn't I add the M9 reunited OP or the ones that changed the characters at the end :)

Thumbnail is missing the Mighty Nein original theme. (Where they were dressed like it was the 80/90s I can't remember which one)
70s
@@TommyWalker1it's early 80s.
@@nosiree7104 k
Idk why but Matt's intro in the first intro is the funniest for reasons I can't properly verbalise
season 3 intro 1 absolutely sweeps the others
That was the worst lol no wonder it lasted like 4 episodes
@@moonlight2870 nah im a sucker for the way they dress in it and the background setups, the vibes are absolutely kino
First into for season 3 my fav
yeah, they might need a new intro now
I love critrole and i love how just cringe some of the intro ares its so nerds trying to be cool it fills my heart with joy
What about the intro for the mighty nein reunion 2 part one shot?
Only wanted to add the main version of each! Felt it was too similar tbh (probably would have added it if I made this now since I had forgot how much was changed at the time)
I prefer the openings that acually show there charakters. I get a lot more hyped and intrestet in the campaigns.
I have always wondered how they all came together
The cast? They're all voice actors that did worked with each other, or knew someone that worked with another one of them.
As DarthSinistris said, they were all voice actors in a similar sphere. Essentially Critical Role came from what originally was a one shot done as a celebration for Liam’s birthday. If you watch their individual interviews on “Between the Sheets” they talk about origins and how they all got together.
The 2022 one is forever my favorite, because honestly, my heart belongs to Ashley Johnson in overalls. (Plus, I love that style of animation.)
Rotoscoping
The 2022 is def the weakest one for me, it felt very... idk, cheap?
But every single one of the others slaps, be it nostalgia or actual quality
FCG!
FCG 😌
I would die for a Bells Hells animated series 😩😩
If things continue to go well with vox Machina and the mighty nein does just as well if not better… then we’ll likely get it
No intro has ever been better than the second intro of campaign 1. Nothing against the animated intros. They're great, but there's something about them in character costumes that just hits different. Plus the song isn't cringe.
Campaign 3 song is the cringiest thing they've ever done.
I am glad they responded to feedback and changed Campaign 3's first intro. It (unintentionally) reeked of colonialism and was in poor taste
Yes and no, while yeah it could give off that energy it felt like live action version of miniatures in a dnd combat map.
