The party comp is also violently tumblr. Vox Machina is a party people actually interested in the game would actually play that is actually pretty typical of what you'd see from experienced players who are good at thinking out how to make a character work narratively and mechanically as something they're going to play for a long time. Everyone has some hooks, but they carry on personality and there's clear consideration in making sure that they can have dynamics with eachother but can stand on their own, and they fit together mechanically as a solid party comp. There's no freakshit for the sake of freakshit, with even the Dragonborn actually *bowing out* because the character naturally was drifting away from having a reason to stick around, and the class mix covers a wide range of usecases pretty well with a clear, reliable, and classic coverage in their classes.
Mighty Nein though? Everyone is trying to have a big narrative hook and is fucking coated in tumblr, nobody meshes naturally outside of like 2 characters, and their mechanical comp is dogshit. Everyone outside of the homebrews and the one who can't show up regularly is at least a partial caster and usually snowflake freak shit. This is also the campaign responsible for popularizing technicolor goat tieflings as the ONLY tieflings that exist anymore [before we had shit like mutation tables, FFS, and they were more kind of "off" and variably deformed humanoids], and that ruined Firbolgs forever by turning them into tumblerhaired cowpeople, as can be seen in the attached image.
It was a fucking disaster of a campaign. Like I said, we got together on the regular to mock them, we had a bingo card, I'll see if I can find it. It got bingo at least once every other session.
