I like that this episode gave the audience nowhere to hide from who Caleb used to be

with the campaign, there was a degree of separation between the audience and what Caleb was describing. the simple nature of the show's format provided the audience tacit permission to downplay and soften Caleb's story, even while Caleb himself tries to impress on everyone that he believed in what he did. ("It was a good time. We believed in the Empire, we were going to keep it strong. He was cruel. He hurt us a lot. Made us go through extreme circumstances, but we got strong." / "He made you executioners?" "We wanted to be.")

the animation provides no such luxury. we are given graphic, up-close depictions of the kinds of things Bren did to people as a Volstrucker. the camera lingers on the violence. nowhere to hide. that's also why it's so important that they removed the false memory Trent gave Bren and replaced it with the trio simply taking him at his word.

what happened to Bren was a horror and a tragedy, and the show makes you look at it, really look at it. it says "don't look away. this is what was done to him. this is what he did. this is what he believed in. will you accept him still?"

Critical Role cast + commenting on their Campaign 4 Characters

Source: "What's Your Character's Vibe?"

transcription:

ASHLEY: Shocker to no one, she is extremely tall. (laughs) And her weapon of choice is a whip. How about you? LUIS: I'm just going to describe his eyes. The bottom half of his iris is blue, like the ocean, and then the top half bursts out into the colors of the setting sun. SAM: I'm excited to watch Liam play his character because it incorporates a lot of things that are very important to Liam O'Brien in real life. Theater, performance, ex-spouses. That's not a real thing from his real life. LIAM: Family. SAM: Family. MATT: No one could kick open the door and be like, "Hey, ready to cry, motherfucker?" like Laura Bailey. LAURA: She's a rogue, she's a stone-cold killer. She's had a history. TALIESIN: I feel like you would start a bar fight. LAURA: Oh yeah. TALIESIN: Yeah. AABRIA: I also love Alex's character. MATT: Yes. ALEXANDER: I think he's more of a dweeb than I initially intended him to be. LAURA: Can't wait for more interactions with Whitney. SAM: She is a wild card. TRAVIS: I don't know what I was expecting from a devil, but you absolutely-- WHITNEY: She's a demon. People are going to get mad about that. TRAVIS: Excuse me. LIAM: I think you have, in the past, had a penchant for playing scamps, rascals. This character is a little more earnest. MATT: I'm going to corrupt the fuck out of Sam. AABRIA: Yeah! SAM: I'm going to stay true to myself and my beliefs. LIAM: Uh-huh. SAM: And there's nothing that you or Brennan can do to stop it. TRAVIS: Robbie came out and said very little, but the second he spoke, I got pregnant. ROBBIE: I wanted a mystery! A man of few words! BRENNAN: But I'm saying Robbie is a loquacious gentleman, possessed of eloquence, vocabulary, and a social debonair unlike any I've seen before. ROBBIE: I do good at stuff. TALIESIN: I will be playing curator of a museum of antiquities that are magical and dangerous. MATT: He's creepy. AABRIA: He's so screepy. TALIESIN: He is very social and bitchy is what I'll say. LAURA: He's a c--[bleeps]. TALIESIN: Yep. AABRIA: Travis wanted to play a furry and we had an intervention for him. TRAVIS: I am playing the giant lion man and also a paladin. MARISHA: She's like a good old rusted-out Chevy pickup truck that just won't quit. MARISHA: She's basically my mom. TALIESIN: Aabria is weirdly wholesome, but-- LAURA: As wholesome as Aabria can be. TALIESIN: Yeah. AABRIA: I was like, Thaisha's going to be so chill and so lovely, and everyone's going to think she's a really hippie granola mom. And then you walked in with your energy and I went: I'm going to kill one man. All right. MATT: (laughs) ALEXANDER: Matt was like: Oh, you love me for 10 years? Well, guess what? I'm going to be shitty. MATT: It's a complicated and very tangled persona. You knew he was trouble when he walked in. MATT and AABRIA: (laugh)

terrified of unwittingly enjoying the shadows in the cave. the song you didn't know was a cover. the movie you didn't realize was a parody. the game you never knew was a bootleg port. and then even after you find out, there's something in you that still likes the shadow better than the real thing
