00:00Hello there, I'm Travis Willingham, an executive producer and cast member of The Mighty Nine, and with me is Sam Riegel.
00:06I'm also an executive producer and cast member of The Mighty Nine.
00:09Travis and I also are the geniuses behind The Legend of Vox Machina, and we're so excited for you guys to see The Mighty Nine.
00:18We're so excited for you guys to keep watching The Legend of Vox Machina,
00:21but there are some crucial differences between the two series that we wanted to talk to you about today.
00:27The world of The Mighty Nine is much bigger. We see the Kreen dynasty, we see the Dundalian empire,
00:32there are large pieces moving behind the scenes before we even meet any of our characters.
00:38The characters are different from The Legend of Vox Machina in many ways.
00:42They're still colorful, they're still exciting, they're still super entertaining and funny too.
00:47You got nothing on me. I didn't even have a weapon.
00:50Unless you count these pythons.
00:53Wanna give me a cavity cinch? Make sure I'm not hiding anything?
00:56They come with a host of sort of inner demons.
01:00They are more sophisticated characters, more mature characters.
01:03They're not just heroes who want to do hero stuff. They've got real shit to work through.
01:08And as opposed to Legend of Vox Machina, where the group all started together in a tavern,
01:12your classic adventuring party starting point,
01:15we're gonna meet these characters as individuals from their various backgrounds, where they've come from.
01:20So you get a little bit more insight into what shaped them, what were they doing before they came together as a group,
01:26and what is it that's driving each of them.
01:29And they're not always altruistic goals or desires, and they're gonna have to figure out how,
01:35when they are thrown together in various pairings, how they're gonna work together as a group.
01:39They're morally gray characters.
01:41And I'd also just say that the show, of course it's exciting, of course it's thrilling fantasy adventure.
01:47Come with me if you want to live!
01:49But there's a lot more intricate magic, the components that you use to make magic,
01:54the incantations, the way that people learn magic or are granted magic, is a big, big deal in the Mighty Nein.
02:00Much, much more so than Legend of Ox Machina, which sort of just, they have magic.
02:05That's right, plus Matthew Mercer's original magic creation of Dunamancy,
02:09which we will see from the Kreen dynasty, along with the Beacon and Essek Thalys,
02:13bringing about new spells, new powers, new feats, things that are just gonna up the arcane game across the gambit.
02:20Also, most noticeably, the Mighty Nein is much longer than the Legend of Ox Machina.
02:24Oh, is it, Travis?
02:25It is! More time per episode, more time per season.
02:29Yes, more time per episode to cut away to other things going on in the world.
02:33Intrigue, politics, backstory, backstabbing, events that we didn't get to see in the campaign.
02:40But also, we are making a bunch of changes from how the original campaign was delivered,
02:45only because the editing process and the adaptation process requires it.
02:49As opposed to the Legend of Ox Machina, we started out from a more interesting place for these characters,
02:54and I think the main goal behind that was whether you are a die-hard Mighty Nein fan,
02:59or you've watched all of Critical Role, or whether or not you're coming to the show for the very first time,
03:03we want to present it in a way so that die-hard know-it-alls and the newbies will be on the same sort of playing field.
03:10And we hope we got something for both of you there.
03:13And there is hardcore sex in every episode.
03:17That's not exactly true, but what we do have is an incredible cast of actors,
03:22starting with names like Mark Strong, playing Trent Ickithon.
03:26Yes, Anika Noni Rose is in this, Raoul Coley is in this.
03:30Jonathan Frakes is in this, Alan Cumming.
03:32Ming-Na Wen, Robbie Damon, our friend.
03:35Absolutely.
03:36Auli'i Cravalho is in this.
03:38And of course, Tim McGraw.
03:39Tim McGraw, he's an actor and a singer, just like me.
03:43We hope you check out the show, it's called The Mighty Nein, it debuts on Prime Video on November 19th.
03:48It's going to be fun, exciting, and different, and we hope to see you there.
03:52See you soon.
04:08I am sorry, doctor
04:10I am sorry for majean
