Highly underrated moment in this scene is Molly saying "Tap three times and ill pull you up" and then when Fjord starts drowning, he says "Five times, you gotta tap five times" it gets lost in the chaos but he is just fukin with Fjord and thats hilarious
@@bigbundle3223 Yeah well, not many people live to tell stories of Hydras, mermaids on the other hand probably sound like tall tales from every sailor under the sun.
I love how Fjord, a canonically highly intelligent person and the defacto leader of the group, actually tried breathing underwater just because -the intrusive thoughts- Nott suggested it
Intelligence is knowing people need some sort of special magic shit to breathe underwater. Wisdom is knowing that testing weather you have any of that special magic shit by trying to breather underwater is a bad idea.
I mean Taliesin himself said in a way he was glad Molly died and he got to play Caduceus as Cad fit the party dynamic better, plus Molly's death led to much better things down the road than if he hadn't died. So I imagine that whatever backstory and plans they had for Molly actually ended up working out better with him dying.
Its an interesting timeline but also likely to be much darker without Cad helping everyone find their better selves. (Fjord rejected Uka'toa and turned to the Wildmother, and Caleb healed enough from his past trauma to reject Trent after spending about 50 sessions with no contact/exposure to him because they left the country.)
OMG this is so perfect in every way!!! Their facial expressions are so good, so perfect, I just can't even. The look on Fjord's face when he coughs is just so damn good???!! This is witchcraft. I love it so much
Two things: I love how Travis is always willing to allow Fjord to look foolish at times without trying to look or act tough (unlike Beau or Yasha). It allows for great artists to have fun when they do animatics. Also, I really miss the energy Molly brought to the team.
Yasha has always had silly moments though. "I killed my whole family, I'll throw you under a bridge" "I smell like a crayon" "We're probably strong enough to fight both at once *completely straight expression*.... no, I was obviously joking."
I have watched this on repeat for about 3 hours now and I cannot get enough of any single part of it, ESPECIALLY little nott's eyes getting bigger/smaller and just molly's entire thing, if I could give this about 84482 likes I would
The expressions you drew for the Nein are freaking great, and the shaking and moving of the drawings adds so much character and dynamism to the whole animatic! That's one helluva sub from me, excellent work!
Here it is, one of those animatics I've seen multiple times before even starting critical role that actually made me want to watch it. I love their expressions, especially Molly appearing from behind to puah Fjord under water (and cut to muffled voices)
This is so great! Lately I have been really missing Mollymuk :( After 20 episodes it's starting to sink in we might not get him back, so these animations are really wonderful to reminice with. The art in this one is fantastic!
God. I'm still hoping they come back to revive Molly. I love Cadduceus, and I want to see more of him, but Molly still had so much to do, a story left untold.
homunculus7 I’m reluctantly giving you a like. Because you’re very correct, and its selfish to ask him to come back to finish a story he didn’t want to know, just because we all miss him.
man I just finished watching critical role campaing 2 and It was worth it this animation just happening up in my feed about a year ago is what drove me to it so thank you
Clicked this video on a whim a few months back. I had heard about critical role but I didn’t really know anything about it until this video. Your animatic was what spurred me to start a months long binge of constant critical role content hahaha. Now I’m halfway through and going strong. I think my favorite thing about critical role is how every just yells over each other all the time it’s amazing. And the way you draw everyone interacting just kinda adds to that amazing chaos. Love the animatic(s)! Thanks for introducing me to my new favorite obsession LOL
fav frames of this: 0:13 the thumbnail/molly looking over fjord 0:20 smug-ass molly 0:26 NOTT!!!!!! THIS FRAME OF NOTT IS MY FAVORITE 0:37 "you are DROWNING." 0:47 all of these chibis.......... esp molly looking like a fcking lego somehow holy shit 1:03 "that doesnt make ANY sense!" wow mollymauk. he 1:05 this last one of nott is also good!!
Hey! I just wanted to say thank you. I started watching critical role because of your aninatic. Because of you I watch every week and have become a critter in this big wonderful community. So thank you!
*muffled voices* “Can you breathe? Can you breathe?”
Cut-in of Matt: “You are DROWNING! :D”
How does this have no comments
I love that like
" bro what were you expecting"
@@Haybalesnail - I think it was more like “I gave you a puzzle and watching you flail around amuses me.”
Φ ua-cam.com/video/WxYH5CXbpYA/v-deo.html
The smiley cracks me up.
I love how after Jester says “I don’t think he’s a mermaid anymore.” You immediately have her pull out her book to start drawing mermaid Fjord
Thank you for catching that!
Mjerman
More like scratching it out.
NOTT SAYING "I KNOW MYTHOLOGY" I NEARLY DIED HER EXPRESSION WAS PERFECT
She looked immediately _hurt_ at his accusation lmao
INDEED LMAO IM CACKLING
Same
It was so perfect, right there at the end!!
"........ You are drowning." I'm sorry but that got me.
RiverTiger Speedpaints I would've been like
Take 5 points of drowning damage
@@TheCart54321 Matt is too kind to them.
RiverTiger Speedpaints lol same
Let's all agree the "You are drowning" got everyone watching this.
The dramatic pause and Matt's smug laugh kills me every time
"i know mythology"
IKR LOL
praefuscus "Do you?"
"I've read Berserk."
Mythology™
I want to see your degree in that SIR! Lol.
I love the idea that Matt is a thought bubble in all of their heads
"Can you breathe in the water?"
*pause....*
"You are DROWNING"
**IMMEDIATE PANIC**
He is the little game system that tells you stuff like you are poisoned or you are drowning
@@liliandrake6652 just a voice line on the hud, *poisoned* , *drowning* , *stunned* , *Critical Hit!*

That's fucking beautiful
Yup, I heard it. XD
Peak Molly
I can’t unhear it now.
“I know Mythology”
Nott, that isn’t a myth, werewolves literally exist and one is probably the local tailor
Does...this tailor live in a plave called London?
@@jacobfreeman5444 I think he's that hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent.
@@BeOurBee lately he's been overheard in Mayfair.
You better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim!
Perhaps he is a rather fellow by the name of chetney
Nott: I know mythology
Also Nott: What's a hydra?
Of course. Hydras aren't mythological in that world.
WillOfTheWinds neither are mermaids
@@bigbundle3223 Yeah well, not many people live to tell stories of Hydras, mermaids on the other hand probably sound like tall tales from every sailor under the sun.
RIP Molly. Now who will push other party members below water in an attempt to see if they're a mermaid???
..... Itll be Jester....
Lovable troublemakers, tieflings
And probably Nott too.
Jester yeeted-Nott-into-the-abyss Lavorre
Not-too-slow-Regard racing up a tree against a Nott-firearm...
Undomaranel I JUST WATCHED THAT EPSIODEEE
I love the looming figure of Molly in the reflection
0:33-0:38 has some of the best comedic timing i've ever seen
I'm gonna miss Molly
Ko Miyavi Think we all do but he'll live on in our hearts.
Or in our stomachs as the tea we will drink :p
Ko Miyavi Either way, he's with us *whispers* FOREVER.
LONG MAY HE REIGN
Wait what happened
I love how Fjord, a canonically highly intelligent person and the defacto leader of the group, actually tried breathing underwater just because -the intrusive thoughts- Nott suggested it
Those are the same thing
Intelligence is knowing people need some sort of special magic shit to breathe underwater.
Wisdom is knowing that testing weather you have any of that special magic shit by trying to breather underwater is a bad idea.
0:13 This shot of Molly hits a little different now, doesn't it?
definitely does now
Why? Did Molly turn evil?
@@chartreusephoenix6581 He was killed by an Oni.
@@chartreusephoenix6581 I guess you'll have to find out and see! 😏
OH GOD
imm gnna start watching critical role
Hell yeah you are!!
Alastrine :D ive been meaning to for a while but this animatic sealed it
I'd had been saying I'd watch it for about 3 months before I gave in, BEST DECISION
Alastrine :D nice. sometimes it just takes like a push lmao
Honestly that’s great . Just don’t let the long episodes deter you.
My heart aches every time I imagine a campaign where MollyMauk didnt die. I loved that character so much
Fr in the battle royale where hes level 15 he was so fuckin cool
I mean Taliesin himself said in a way he was glad Molly died and he got to play Caduceus as Cad fit the party dynamic better, plus Molly's death led to much better things down the road than if he hadn't died. So I imagine that whatever backstory and plans they had for Molly actually ended up working out better with him dying.
Its an interesting timeline but also likely to be much darker without Cad helping everyone find their better selves. (Fjord rejected Uka'toa and turned to the Wildmother, and Caleb healed enough from his past trauma to reject Trent after spending about 50 sessions with no contact/exposure to him because they left the country.)
*"I know mythology!"*
OMG this is so perfect in every way!!! Their facial expressions are so good, so perfect, I just can't even. The look on Fjord's face when he coughs is just so damn good???!! This is witchcraft. I love it so much
I love the little cut-in of Matt and then the _screen shake_ that only starts _after_ the drowning announcement
"I will gladly and always be your humble servant...
except of course for the fact that I'm never giving back the ship."
I know what this is referencing and it really does give off that vibe lmao
I love the muffled water thing it's such a nice touch
Two things: I love how Travis is always willing to allow Fjord to look foolish at times without trying to look or act tough (unlike Beau or Yasha). It allows for great artists to have fun when they do animatics.
Also, I really miss the energy Molly brought to the team.
Yasha has always had silly moments though. "I killed my whole family, I'll throw you under a bridge"
"I smell like a crayon"
"We're probably strong enough to fight both at once *completely straight expression*.... no, I was obviously joking."
"Just like his dreams" frickin loved the pupils
I have watched this on repeat for about 3 hours now and I cannot get enough of any single part of it, ESPECIALLY little nott's eyes getting bigger/smaller and just molly's entire thing, if I could give this about 84482 likes I would
I just wanna say the artstyle is beautiful the animation is great and the emotions are super well done!!!! Thank you for sharing this!
Love your artstyle~ pretty clean looking sketches too! I'm subbing for more :D
Molly really was just a force of nature, just doing whatever needed to be done....
The expressions you drew for the Nein are freaking great, and the shaking and moving of the drawings adds so much character and dynamism to the whole animatic! That's one helluva sub from me, excellent work!
IM SO HAPPY SEEING CONTENT FROM U ILY
AWW BBY !!!!
Here it is, one of those animatics I've seen multiple times before even starting critical role that actually made me want to watch it. I love their expressions, especially Molly appearing from behind to puah Fjord under water (and cut to muffled voices)
I swear, if we get a sinister repeat of this now, I will cry.
Going back to a few of these animations, molly did really have a great dynamic in the party. I really do hope so that they are able to bring him back.
I LOVE THIS especially Molly's reflection in the water omgggggggggggg
I truly miss Mollymauk definitely one of my favorite characters of all time
This is so great! Lately I have been really missing Mollymuk :( After 20 episodes it's starting to sink in we might not get him back, so these animations are really wonderful to reminice with. The art in this one is fantastic!
how are you feeling now
Nah nah nah... how bout now?
Hey... how about now?
Laughs in ep140 🤣
Nott roll mythology.
"I don't know mythology"
I have barely listened to The Adventure Zone, but for some reason, the way Nott says "I know mythology" gives me Taako vibes and I have no idea why.
Same! It’s like the “I read half a Wikipedia article on something vaguely related to this and I am now an expert” vibes I think
That Molly ended up being some foreshadowing lol
0:36 XD Made my morning
"Let Fjord your servant be born again from the sea, as you were. Bless him with salt, bless him with stone, bless him with steel."
I haven't seen C2 yet but watched this just for kicks, and I *busted* out laughing at the "You are drowning" because that's SO on-brand for them.
i miss molly so much..
he would have been so much fun in a Vegas setting..
The noise when Molly puts him into the well- 0:15
*shPMP*
And that was made by an actual humans vocal cords, that's not a post added effect
@@deranged_dragon9471 I love that-
Me trying to sound like a cool middle schooler after reading Percy Jackson:
*”I know mythology.”*
When you try to drown the other player and they are cool with it?
Every now and then I really miss Mollymauk
I forgot this even happened, to be honest. Thanks for reminding me, honest.
"Did you find anything"
"I don't know let me take another look"
Long live Mollymauk, long may he reign.
THE WAY YOU DRAW THE MIGHTY NEIN OMG THEY ARE SO CUTE!!! 💖💖💖💖
God. I'm still hoping they come back to revive Molly. I love Cadduceus, and I want to see more of him, but Molly still had so much to do, a story left untold.
Except Molly didn't care about his past and had no desire to find out
homunculus7 I’m reluctantly giving you a like. Because you’re very correct, and its selfish to ask him to come back to finish a story he didn’t want to know, just because we all miss him.
Molly: I’ll drink to that.
Me in the background whispers: I’ll have what he’s having
Two years later and this is still one of my favorite animatics.
god i miss molly
“That’s payback for the teleport.”
God I miss Molly…
The “I know mythology” got me lol
Ahhh animations like these make me fall in love with the show even more :`) thank uuuuu
watching this after the most recent episode is so heart warming and heart breaking
THAT IS SOME QUALITY ANIMATION
Matt's delivery of "you are DROWNING" is perfect and made this scene ten time better for me
The way you drew Nott makes her look soooo adorable!
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE I LOVE IT SO MUCH, ALL THEIR DESIGNS, EXPRESSIONS AND THE PACING IS IMMACULATE AND HILARIOUS THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS
I love the expressions you gave Nott. She looks so concerned
Oh.. Molly.
The thumbnail just hits different now
I miss the pure FratBro energy from Molly and Fjord. I wish there was a way to peek into the alternate timeline where Molly isn't dead.
I'm a simple guy, I see a quality Critical Role animatic I like and subscribe
Pause at 0:46 THAT FACE LOL
On Fjord or Jester?
@@Thememester439 yes
Molly was such a chaos element. I miss him so much.
Molly we miss you♡
man I just finished watching critical role campaing 2 and It was worth it this animation just happening up in my feed about a year ago is what drove me to it so thank you

A+ beautiful cast beautiful editing
"I know mythology"
h2o: just add water fandom rise up
This is the animation that got me into critical role, so thank you!!
God I miss Molly, I absolutely love Cad, but, I wish I could have seen how Molly handled/reacted to the bullsh*t the m9 got into.
Molly constantly fucking with Fjord will be missed
Nott’s like “Are you trying to call me uncultured? How dare you!?”
"I know mythology" I love Knott so much. Just so confident in all the most baseless of times.
I just watched episode 22 a couple days ago... It just keeps getting better. Great work on this!
Sweet chaos - a DM's favorite drink.
1:04 this is why I love Nott
I'm crying. How dare you remind me of the circus man.
This is one of the first animatics where the style and representation of the characters fits what I see them as.
Great work!
*sees a Critical Role clip over 2 years old
Me: Oh nice, a clip from campaign 1!
*sees it's from campaign 2
Me: ...

This is still my favorite CR animation in the world, your work is so lovely!
I love Molly's Face at 0:46
"Just like his dreams" had me going
The "I know mythology" bit killed me XD
Hey! I just wanted to say thank you. I started watching critical role because of your aninatic. Because of you I watch every week and have become a critter in this big wonderful community. So thank you!
in context of fjords trauma this scene stings but for comedic timing? exquisite
I LOVE your art style!!
Ive watch this animatic at least 3 time on three separate occasions, and only just now got the pun
Nott going “I know mythology!” Got me good
That was funny.
Freaking hilarious.
You don't understand, I damn near pissed myself when Matt said "you are drowning."
