Critical Role Spoilers! Episode 30
My thoughts on the Pridesire brothers deaths is particularly tragic in such a mythological way. They are paladins in a world were the gods are dead, and where does that power come from? It obviously is powerful enough, but the mystery of it is so fascinating to me. Heartbreaking too. I like to wager their power came from themselves in a way. In a world without gods, those who live must draw power from inside themselves to carry them forward.
And as tragic as their deaths are, especially given that Teor took such pains to rescue Cyd, its shows that even in the face of something truly awful, they still made an impact on the world in such a significant way. They get to pass on that to Wick and Thimble and the world as a whole, and its bitter sweet. It’s mysterious, its frightening. I truly hope Wick uncovers where the lion bros powers emanate from at some point. And really, if they had to die, at least they went our swinging. Or as medieval Europeans would say, a “good death” lol
It was a joy to watch Teor, his character was not only humorous but carried a lot of wisdom. Im excited to see what Travis plays next!
