Could This Be THE MIGHTY NEIN's Best Easter Egg So Far?

The best Easter egg in The Mighty Nein features Jester and Fjord seeing visions of their Critical Role actors Laura Bailey and Travis Willingham. Prime Video’s animated adaptations of Critical Role are a fantastic way to bring Vox Machina and The Mighty Nein to life in their full, fantastical splendor. An added bonus is that the original Critical Role voice actors remain at the table, giving voice to their player characters. However, one thing we miss is actually seeing our favorite party in the flesh. Critical Role’s actors are incredibly talented, and their animated facial expressions, hand gestures, and body language make us feel like we’re watching more than just people sitting at a table. That’s where The Mighty Nein’s best Easter egg comes in. In The Mighty Nein episode three, “The Fletching & Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities,” there is a nod to the actors behind the magic, with Travis Willingham and Laura Bailey appearing in the animated world they created. At the Fletching & Moondrop Carnival, the episode offers various Critical Role teases. For instance, if listened to closely, Mollymauk Tealeaf, Taliesin Jaffe’s The Mighty Nein character, references Taliesin Jaffe’s The Legend of Vox Machina character Percy DeRolo — “everything will be as dandy as a DeRolo.”

During The Mighty Nein episode three, “The Fletching & Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities,” we get a fun nod to the actors behind ALL of the magic, and see Travis Willingham and Laura Bailey in the animated world they created.

Summary of the key Easter egg: a rare moment where the show acknowledges the real actors behind the animated characters, reinforcing the connection between the performers and their in-universe roles.
