I think you’re confusing “wikis” (which is a broad category of pretty much any user-editable repository of information) with “Wikipedia” (one extremely high-profile wiki that aims to be a general encyclopedia). This is about wikis currently run by a company called Fandom, which hosts a huge number of wikis for things…

First they came for the Grimace Wiki, and I did not speak out—because I don’t care about McDonald’s.

like point taken but... why are you reading articles about a movie if you don’t want to be spoiled?

I haven’t seen the new movie, but I am hoping someone who has can answer a question for me: Does Sam Worthington managed to use the same accent throughout this one? It’s implied that he is a U.S. Marine in the first film, yet he fads in and out of American and Australian accents. His bad acting, alongside the weakly…

And to those people, I say: “Come on, really? Come on.”

There was no reason for a fictional show to introduce a real person and then make up something untrue about her. Just leave her out of it.

Agreed, this article is some petty-ass bitching

Honestly I am not sure why everyone is hating on this trailer. It looks fun. It looks like they have actual D&D monsters. Chris Pine is a bard!

Seriously. If this criticism was leveled against - say - The Hobbit trilogy, I’d understand where it’s coming from. But Lord of the Rings?

I actually think that is kinda a side effect of D&D huge rise to fame in the last decade. A lot of new people are playing and trying to “MAKE IT DEEP” and meaningful without realizing that a lot of table top players moved on to better games for that sorta thing. D&D is great, I love D&D but its rarely about deep…

There’s nothing particularly original about anything D&D, lore wise. It’s tolkein mixed with a hodge podge of other authors concepts. 70% of D&D parties are also bumbling, unintentionally funny idiots, and not the stoic and serious super heroes they wish they were.

... but it would certainly be less popular and sell less tickets entertaining.

I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘the masses’ ignore this movie for the most part. Like they did with all the other DnD movies that came out over the years. Because they are nothing but the most generic fantasy movies you can think off. Mostly because DnD if you just follow the books is generic as fuck.

Uh, I’ve played in more D&D campaigns than I could count and “Hope you like classic rock, because it’ll likely be another skin-deep thrill ride more suitable for a theme park” pretty much sums up Dungeons and Dragons. Most D&D games aren’t deep, introspective, philosophical, high-brow literature and this movie (if the…

A true D&D movie should make all the protagonists as murder hobos who do nothing but barter at the local shop for 30 minutes to get the nice sword cheaper by 100 gold.

But how much can we forgive for the appearance of the Mimic?

Oh also, I went and checked. Even RADIO ADAPTATIONS of The Fellowship of the Rings cut Tom Bombadil

I was actually pretty happy with the trailer, the effects looked good, they are clearly doing a GoTG but D&D which isn’t to say it’s a bad thing (a lot of films that boil down to “X but in Y” actually turn out pretty good) the only thing I’m worried about is that the characters didn’t seem super interesting in the…

“Arguably, we’ve already had the “perfect” D&D movie thanks to Peter Jackson’s adaptations of The Lord Of The Rings in the 2000s—which, if I’m being honest, do chart a bit too close to “action movie” for my taste”

For my money I think Critical Role, Harmonquest, and Deborah Ann Woll’s several various games, and of course Stranger Things, did a lot more to bring it to the forefront of people’s brains again, and introduced it to a bunch of people who’d never played before. Wife and I watched Harmonquest and I ended up having a…
