@@clartblart3266I don't think it's about what the word means. It's more like... did Brennan think of another entity that would claim to be Baron's father? Was this foreshadowing of something that didn't pan out?
As I recall this was pretty close to the end of that episode - Brennan needed a reason for Riz and Fig to not be in a few of the following episodes because Emily and Murph weren't available for 2-3 weeks or so (a NADDPOD live gig travel thing or some such).
@@fabiangiesen306 Just checked, you've got it the wrong way around. This was the episode *after* Murph and Emily were absent. They started episode 3 with this scene, to explain why Riz was absent for episode 2. It happens about 15 minutes in.
Someone made a similar comment on the game changer when Brennan is his defense attorney, and does a whole speech and then Zach just says "I killed him, yeah"
@@JesterC88 I'd love to see that clip somewhere. do you know what episode? Edit: Nvm I found it by Googling "Brennan Lee Mulligan defense attorney Zac". I don't know why I continue to be surprised that sometimes it really is that easy to find things.
@solarprogeny6736 neither "the baronies" nor "Hilda St/Blvd" are topographical features. Also toponyms refer to the names of areas around the topographical features named for the features, not to people from the area. Also also this is an extremely dumb thing to try to start an argument or score smart guy internet points over
“YOU HAVE BEEN NAUGHTY THRICE” is something my wife now yells at me when I’ve forgotten to do some task she’s asked me to do over and over 😂😂 always makes me chuckle as I finally get on it
I like to think Baron is gender indifferent. As in, they just do not care enough about gender to even pick one arbitrarily. And to Riz's credit, he doesn't seem to think the agender-ness is creepy. It's every other facet of Baron that's creepy, but not that.
I forgot how terrifying this scene was when it first aired on Dropout Edit: That's where it first aired for me since I don't do twitch, for clarification
This scene was a delicate balance between creepy and hilarious which I realize now mostly hinged on Brennan's face as he contorted his face to do the ridiculous voice. Without that context the balance definitely shifts or perhaps careens into creepy.
2:55 Zac: "Ca- Can we be done?" Yeah I felt the same way. I'm gonna need a change of pants after hearing Brennan say "Romance Partner" in the Baron voice. Heck, just that whole character is Creepy as hell. Seriously, well done to the whole crew in general, but this scene is so memorable to me even before the animatic that I still wake up terrified that my sleep paralysis demon is gonna have that voice.
Rebecca that was incredible! That was so clever using the photos of the Intrepid Heroes/Bad Kids on Riz's evidence wall to cut to for their reactions! So well done 💛
Oh this scene never fails to give me chills, congrats for the animator for doing it justice, all the little details of just how freaked out Riz is where amazing, and having the rest of the party as photos in the background was also great.
The charlie wall of the rest of the party and their reactions was the perfect way to integrate the audio into this animation hahaha. What a scene, I'd been seeing clips of this for a while before I finally got to watching myself (kicking myself for not watch sooner, because the whole series has been utterly fantastic), but man, I still wasn't even prepared for the deep dive into the horrors
This was so good! You captured the creepiness of the scene so well, and I love how the rest of the party and Brennan were represented through pictures on the cork board.
LOVE the detail of the other party members + brennan being represented through Riz's conspiracy board since they can be heard but they're not supposed to be in this scene
Oh god… this got animated? I hope in the new season we’ll get a reference to Baron somehow Edit: Side note I hate(love) that Baron’s mouth and expression does not change at all. It’s WAYYY creepier now that it’s animated than just Brennan describing it
i love the design of baron looking like an unfinished person crafted by the force of nightmares. riz didn't specify gender or anything about what baron looks like, so he's like the bare bones of 3d model with a plain white mannequin that they're going to paint later, holes where the eyes are going to go, marks for the unanimated mouth and nose and goblin-shaped until further notice. the nightmare king or whoever created him was waiting for riz to tell more lies so they could fill in the details until he eventually looked like a real person. so when baron dragged him into the mirror to make up more things, if kalina hadn't wanted him for the ritual baron could have become real...
Not me in the packed IMAX theater opening weekend of Dune 2 trying so hard not to laugh every time Austin Butler's character came on because he reminded me of Baron from the Baronies. 😂
Now this was a cool yet scary scenario. Especially since, whether peer pressure or just wanting people to leave you alone, many have likely lied and said they had a romantic partner when they actually didn't. Making such up to both strangers and even friends. So yeah, a scenario where the lie creates a monster or (fey?) creature claiming to be the romantic partner you made up would be helluva scary. Like, this was a very creative and interesting scenario to offer.
Ho. Ly. CRAP. That was AMAZING. Such beautiful animation, and the way you conveyed emotions with Baron without having him move his mouth was just... +chef's kiss+ Too many of the (very good, mind you) fan animatics forget that Baron's mouth doesn't move.
oh my GOD I COMPELTLY LOVE HOW DND BECOMES A LITERAL TV SHOW/MOVIEEEEEEEEE I HAVE BEEN ONLY IN 2 SESSIONS SO FAR (not campaigns, sessions, they were virtual and aren't about normal dnd but are about jujutsu kaisen) AND I COMPLETLY LOVE THIS I SERIOUSLY CAN *NOT* LOVE THIS MORE 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Dimension 20 and Rebecca never misses with these animations. Now I'm imagining this style but for the candle-door-Stepmother-smile-of-a-devil-you-never-believed-in Neverafter scene.
I really want to know what Baron would've done if Riz had said, "Oh, by not real I mean I want a romance partner who can't be seen by other people or interact with the physical world." Would Baron just power up and permanently haunt his psyche for the rest of time? Thank fuck his player didn't try to be a smartass in that moment or it would've ended so much worse.

I'd love that. It's just a coincidence that they are named Baron, and are otherwise just a normal dude from the Baronies.

God this is gorgeously eerie, Riz and Baron's voice work is phenomenal and the animation is phenomenal, truly amazing work from everyone involved
Can we please make a fundraiser for an entire series like this?
I can see it also getting 10mil. We could definitely fund that.
The little illustrations on the board of the players as their characters as a nice touch
I love the detail of the other players' reactions being shown through the conspiracy board.
I remember watching this and just going through every emotion ever
i would absolutely watch the entire story in this style
The players as photographs on the board is such a clever idea. Absolutely brilliant!!
We need Chungledown Bim animated, I would pay for that

watchin this again knowing THE RETURN IS NEAR
the addition of animations on the conspiracy wall is PERFECTION
YOU HEV BIN NAWTY THRICE, RIZ GUKGAK!!
The very definition of a healthy relationship
Brennan decided it was time to up the stakes in that moment.
Them animated on the clue board is a great touch

As a guy who had an imaginary partner, I fully commend Dimension 20’s ability to turn that concept into a horror element, genuinely love it
Riz would absolutely have his friends on his wall like suspects. Notes about them, hangouts, friendship status 😂
GUESS WHO'S FUCKING BACK?!
So happy that baron is returning
This animation alone started my dimension 20 binge-watching
The way Baron say Riz's name like it's all one word is always wonderful

Great Animation!
Very Close to how it played out in my head...
This is amazing and also very scary!
This is SO AWESOME!!!
This made me realize, I did not pay good enough attention to the current season, and must now re-watch it xD
