Vox Machina and forgetting Vex
I love vox machina but dammn, Vex really became a background character. She was the one making plans in seasons 1 and was kind of the 'leader' or at least the one that puts the group in check, and now her brother dies and we don't even see her reacting to it. No arc, no plot for her, we don't even see her talk to her brother or try to find a way to make him survive, which is so contradictory to what we know about her. I'm supposed to believe that Vex who loves her brother and was the only person she really had for years and years, gives up his life for her, and is depressed because he's going to die soon and she's just like "oh no :("
We saw keyleth losing sleep and crashing out multiple times but Vex? She even went on to kill Anna Rippley as revenge for Percy, but for Vax? We see her do nothing. So out of character for her considering what we know about the twins.
edit: also while I do love Vax, not everything has to be about him lol. I'm glad we're seeing more Pike now and keyleth. Grog was also a very prominent part of the plot and so is Percy. Then there's Vex. Free my girl
My thoughts on this in the tags!
To comment on what was said in reply to my post:
I didn't really feel like Vex was the main character of season 3 tbh. That was more Scanlan and (again for some reason) Vax and even Keyleth.
Vex's only arc in season 3 was the romance which felt weak. Even the final battle when she "led" the army in battle... We see her grappling with guilt for one second literally as she sees the Thordak annihilating the army, she said smth along the lines of I led them to their death or smth. Then BAM Vax (ofc) saves the day, Vex doesn't every think about it ever again. Meanwhile Percy was and still is allowed to be guilty and is explored even after his arc is technically finished. There's a common theme where Vax always ends up being the hero (sometimes Scanlan and Keyleth have their moments too)
To add to this, in season 4 when they get attacked by those flying dead birds lol, shouldn't Vex have sensed them? Doesn't she have like super spidey senses?
All I am saying is that they're forgetting Vex, lowering her intelligence, making her useless and weak and in need of rescuing every fight.
