Just came back from the new dnd movie BRO it was so good actually

It was everything that I was hoping for (besides the end credit scene of them being around the table, I'm offended and disappointed that that did not happen)

The druid had So Much Gender. Like. I genuinely. Ooohhh my god, can i BE her pls

The sorc was such a mood fr lmfao ALSO WILD MAGIC?!?!?! MY FAV KIND OF SORC??? THAT WAS SO COOL AND JUST AMAZING TO SEE AAAA i love him, i adore him

Chris Pine is a dad... i can already feel myself getting weak... i cant handle another father figure i cant... Oh but i Can.

Also its chris pine, Man love that dude

THE PALADIN WAS SO FUNNY LMFOAHDJFKD lawful good characters r the best characters, and I see ppl are already shipping him and the bard. Not surprised at all

The movie was just so wonderfully chaotic and charming, and honestly really did feel like a dnd campaign :)))

I'm really happy about it. I enjoyed it immensely and I feel like they really respected the source material !!

It was also really cool actually understanding tiny references n stuff, but yeah!! 10/10 recommend for both normal ppl and dnd nerds alike

OH ALSO FORGOT TO SAY BUT THEY KEPT THE BARB AND BARD PLATONIC AND IM SOOOO HAPPY, PLATONIC PARENTS FTW :(( THEY R SIMPLY BESTIES

I need the Dungeons and Dragons movie to do well enough to be turned into a cinematic universe à la Knives Out where Regé-Jean Page's character just shows up every movie.

Spoilers but imo the one thing the DnD movie got more right than anything else is how the death of the main funny character is always a complete gut-punch that leaves you sobbing like a fucking baby.

Like they give us a barbarian named Holga Kilgore who's introductory scene is her beating the shit out of a guy for interrupting her potato time and when she died I cried so hard I could barely see the screen. 100/10. Peak DnD. No notes at all.

Forge Fitzwilliam is such a good villain because I simultaneously despise him and cannot get enough of him. That man made me both love his presence and desperately want him dead in his first real scene which takes a damn good antagonist

[dr-lizortecho]

no! But Edgin didn’t lie at the end. He did make all those mistakes. But he promised to bring his daughters mother back and he did. She was just his sister not his wife

I watched Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves a second time and guess what.

First time? Loved the movie.

Second time, however? LOVED IT EVEN MORE.

After thinking about it for a bit I realized that the first time I watched it I spent the whole movie bracing for Edgin and Holga to inevitably fall in love because... well, that's what always happens. And then they didn't. So, when I rewatched the movie, since I wasn't unconsciously bracing myself for a forced romance plot I enjoyed everything so much more??

Everyone complaining that Doric shouldn't be able to turn into an owlbear, and ignoring our theories that she's a Circle Of The Moon Druid— she is! It's canon :D

Literally every time I do theater checks I walk into Dungeons and Dragons at the bit where they get the Hither Thither staff, and without fail the last couple nights someone in the theater has gone "it's a Portal gun!" 😂

Heyyy, saw the new DnD movie and might reblog some stuff from it. If you wanna avoid spoilers, this is yours heads up. I'll try and tag anything I do reblog accordingly though :)

My Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves thoughts (the negative ones).

Overall, really enjoyed the movie, it was fun and I think really played well with the mechanics of the game to make it believable in that setting. Lots of amazing practical effects.

But....

Cut for spoilers

Doric - Yes, I would like tieflings that are are more demonic and less sexy and barely off human, especially for the women. However, I could also really do without the links between demon blood and gingers (as much as I love when there are gingers in movies), and the redheaded-step-child trope (parents abandon/mistreat child with red hair because it can't truly be theirs) is annoyingly overdone and annoyingly overlooked. Every single second she was in wildshape was a gift, though. fr fr.

Dragon - just fatphobic trope after fatphobic comment. Oh, he must have eaten his previous lair. Oh, he's so fat he can barely move. Oh, he's so fat he can't even be a dragon correctly and ignite his breath weapon. This could have been done in such a more interesting way if they hadn't taken the easy comedy of laugh at the fatty.

Halflings - All these amazing practical effects. All this amazing cgi. and the way they dealt with halflings was to just scale down the actors playing them. It makes the perspective feel off. Like, I don't think halflings are supposed to just be scaled down humans, they are closer to small humans where adult halflings can be mistaken for human children except for the fact they are definitely adults. These halflings could not. And by scaling them down like this, it just. Perspective, adult humans have approximately the same size head, give or take statistically insignificant variances. Which means scaling down the whole person fucks with the perspective. Also, like, there are definitely actors out there who could play the 3 foot to 3.5 foot tall adult character, so why do this instead? Least favorite effect of the movie and it feels completely unnecessary.

Okay so I just saw the new Dungeons and Dragons movie

gotta say from the moment they went with the "let's dive out the window onto the Aarakocra" plan even as the council was like "WE PARDONED YOU" I knew it would be great because that is the exact kind of stupidity a D&D party would get up to

Jarnathan on why they need the brick wall in the Council room:

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Blooper Reel

[prokopetz]

"But why did the characters in Honor Among Thieves ally with an obviously evil wizard, then act surprised when she betrayed everybody" buddy, look at their fucking pre-betrayal party comp. A wizard, a wild magic sorcerer, two rogues and a barbarian? They've got no heals, no defensive buffs, everybody except the barbarian has fuck-all for hit points, and stratospheric DPS. I guarantee you their main combat strategy is to have the barbarian tie everybody up in melee, then drop massive AoE damage directly on top of her and hope the rogues make their Evasion saves. This is not a party whose culture is characterised by an excess of caution, is what I mean to say.

[imissthembutitwasntadisaster]

The best thing about the DND movie also is that Jarnathan is 100% the kind of name the DM has to make up on the spot because they forgot to name all the council and the players are asking, so now they're going "John...Jarnathan...."

[in-search-of-an-exit]

The portal caravan scene was the most unapologetically D&D part of the movie imo

-the creative use of a magic item, not for it’s obvious and intended use

- each member of the party getting to do different parts from buying a painting to using wild shape

- the extreme convoluted nature of all the steps

- being extremely clever but still getting fucked up by bad execution(bad rolls)

-obvious holes in the plan like the guards clearly being able to see all of them working out just cause the other people are way to oblivious (when you get saved only cause an npc rolls a 5)
