I did a quick rewatch of Season 1, and then the first three episodes of Season 2. As far as creative liberties with the adaptation, I think Season 1 took a lot more liberties than what Season 2 has done so far. Season 2 feels much closer to the actual stream episodes. Of course there are differences, because of the adaptation which cut out the first 20-ish episodes of the stream. I do kinda agree that (S2E3) Young Vax breaking down and crying felt a little too much, although even Campaign Vax was a little clingy. What I am wondering about, though is what they're going to do with Scanlan's character. In the stream, there was a brief moment between the Whitestone and Chroma Conclave arcs where Scanlan (Campaign 1 Stream, Episodes 37-39) discovered he had a daughter from one of his many dalliances, and that was used as a Need To Change which fueled Scanlan changing as a character. Even after Season 1's finale, I was a little concerned that they seemed to be jumping right into the second arc without that part, because I had a hard time picturing a way to insert that element without it feeling like a contrived coincidence and/or really rushed. (Season 2, E1/E2) Sure enough, Scanlan in S2E1 had no motivation to fight dragons now. In S2E2, his piercing character insight from the Sphinx was "no one cares about you." Which is fine, but that on its own does not feel like a sufficient Need To Change, so I'm wondering where they're going to go with him.

CuwiKhons posted:Definitely some interesting changes, although I think the way they arranged everything worked out pretty well. I was expecting them to do more with Ripley than they did though. I'm kind of unclear on the point of adding that into the story if the only thing it adds is telling the Conclave about the vestiges, which most of them don't seem to care about. That's probably just to keep the character "alive" in the audience's minds, because she'll be key for the next arc. Campaign Ripley does know about the Vestiges and is going after them herself. This came as a surprise to the players and characters in the campaign, and having her here sets this up so it's not a sudden twist when she interferes later on.

A frequent refrain is "we are children." Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Mar 28, 2023 |
