It’s easy to get swept up in the shine of a magical incident whose publicity is more demoralising than the kind words of a mentor Who among us hasn’t tried to score a music news story about our work? I personally can’t think of one person who is now working as an entertainment journalist who hasn’t done that at some point in their career. I would have to press my brain and my memory pretty hard to come up with even one lane I haven’t explored on a shifting landscape of potential access to shine. But when the welcome mat is yanked out from under someone working toward fame, it’s easy to get swept up in the shiny incident instead of acknowledging the human one whose publicity is more demoralising than the kind words of a mentor. Welcome to ‘The Legend of Vox Machina’ and behind-the-scenes stories. This cathedral set sails again on 31 July, but the show has already painted the town with talent The animated series Legend of Vox Machina, airing on Amazon Prime, is a show-within-a-show that’s meant to carry the spirit of the Critical Role show.
Every legendary show that makes us forget the real world has a battalion of people making the invisible visible behind the scenes. The Legend of Venus is about that. It’s about what happens when creative people bring an idea to its ultimate fruition, and about the drive they put behind marketing and promotion to convince us that this story is worth telling.
Take on the Herculean world of entertainment journalism and media and you enter a whole new degree of difficulty. Amelia Emberwing, IGN’s Streaming Editor, captures the full arc of the industry dreamer’s journey in her entries on her IGN Live panels – especially ‘The Legend of Vox’ – revealing the Herculean effort and camaraderie behind shows arriving in your living room.
Life is fickle, full of unpredictable ups and downs, and brings us strangers, sometimes in our hour of need, who come and go without our knowing their full impact on our trajectory; just as fate decreed it. The Legend of Vox neatly brings psychological justice to Amelia’s first meeting with Rachel Romero, a crucial figure in the arc of her career, in that fateful panel room at ‘The Legend of Vox’.
At the heart of ‘The Legend of Vox’ and the spirit of sisterhood and struggle that animates ‘Vox’, were the real connections that brought the work to being. The bond between Amelia and Rachel, rooted in mutual regard and support, captured in essence what made ‘Vox’ resonate – togetherness and shared dreams had power.
As ‘The Legend of Vox’ finds its place in the canon of beloved series, it is important to recognise that it is not built on one voice alone but many. Behind the scenes in this series, you will find music, magic, and a lot of hard work – three critical ingredients of any good legend.
