With great power comes great responsibility

Rewatching DnD honor among thieves and I miss these idiots, I wish the fandom for this movie was bigger because I love them all so much.

The movie grew on me. I actually liked it better the second time I watched it.

#we deserved a second movie from them

i’m thinking about dnd: honor among thieves again and how amazing it is that the two friends of opposite genders raised a kid together and NEVER had a romantic relationship.

Edgin: I tried to write ‘I'm a functional adult’ but my phone changed it to ‘fictional adult’ and i feel like that’s more accurate.

Still in awe of how well the D&D movie mimicked the feeling of D&D without doing anything as tediously literal as a "sitting around the table" framing device. The way some characters have names that sound like names a DM improvised on the spot, the sudden appearance and disappearance of a overpowered DM NPC for a single dungeon, the way they used the fact that characters can plausibly just mess up for no clear reason to escalate action scenes...that was cinema

Also the tragic backstories that clash noticeably with the goofy tone of the actual movie and are related in full at inopportune moments. And the fact that the DMPC is the only one with a backstory even SLIGHTLY connected to the main plot. Plus the fact that every character is a subtle representation of a DND player trope - Edgin is an extensive roleplayer who barely even uses his bard abilities and just talks his way out of every situation he finds, Holga is a wargamer who's just here to kick monster ass and barely talks about her character (to the point that her tragic backstory comes completely out of nowhere as though the DM shoved it in), Simon is a newbie who doesn't really know how the game works and has picked the most complicated class there is to start off with, and Doric is a rule-of-cool action hero who thinks the limitations on wild shape are Dumb and Stupid and the DM begrudgingly indulges her because what she does is in fairness much cooler.

The only thing the film was missing was a scene during the rolling credits showing all the main actors in plainclothes sitting around a table with the until-now-unseen DM.

Es un peliculón

my mom called edgin as a "wandering minstrel with charisma", which is a beautiful description of a bard for someone who hasn't played dnd

A man and a woman platonically raising a child together and not falling in love has to be the biggest plotwist in the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves movie AND my favorite part

Holga and Edgin’s friendship is EVERYTHING.
