the #DungeonsandDragonsMovie was SO fun but absolutely unrealistic for there to be 0 gay people in a D&D party GIRL
THAT BARBARIAN IS A LESBIAN PLEASEEEEE DONT LIE TO ME
chris pine and rege jean page’s characters shouldve been flirting up a STORM girl HUH
that druid was serving bisexuality with that outfit come ONNNN
did love how a woman and a man who are straight and the same age are not romantically involved though!!! that was nice!!! people can be friends!!
my knowledge of official d&d lore is absolutely ass but i was like OOO pointing out spells like this
the worst part of the movie was right before where they made the actors do this hostage situation type video “thanking” the audience for coming to the theater girl im already there and paid too much to be there stop!!!
also rege jean page’s character said justice for hot autistic paladins!!! happy #autismacceptancemonth to him!
also as a bard what the FUCK that chris pine’s character had 0 spells!!! JUSTICE FOR BARDS
saw a take that the tabaxi and and aaracokra shouldve been designed by furries and yeah they mf shouldve. altho as a dragonborn player myself i enjoyed seeing several dragonborn! altho they were all black?? wheres all the fun colors!!
this movie understood that the thing about vaguely european fantasy settings it that every humanoid man must wear EXTREMELY slutty tight pants and v neck puffy shirts and every woman should be fully clothed but serving in leather. thank u for understanding what the people want
also d&d movie has passed the ultimate muster: if you go into the tumblr tag people are already posting character x reader fanfic for xenk. god bless 🫡
the only negatives of this movie:
- dead wife trope
- no gays
- weirdly fatphobic?!! AND WITH A DRAGON?!! we can never escape i stg
- brought the worst part of d&d, the fantasy racism
- main female character introduced with a sexual harassment gag…unnecessary
i DO wish it had included a bit of like this is a game! a little bit of princess bride cutting to the players or something. you could see moments that were clearly “person rolls something specific” that couldve been so FUNNY
wouldve loved a *action stops* “wait can i do that” “hold on retcon that im not in range” and then they have to redo a scene or some funny shit with how long one turn of combat takes lol
ive seen several people suggest the next movie should be same actors but compeletely different story and characters to simulate using the same players. thats funny. i loved how xenk was extremely NPC coded.
wouldve loved a character dying and then the same actor coming back as another character with a convoluted reason to join the party

my #DungeonsAndDragonsMovie review performed well on tiktok but my response about the hostage situation bit they played before it “thanking” the audience for being “movie heroes” got 3x the views bc people kept saying “it made me never want to go back to the theater out of spite”
according to my hundreds of comments, people found it condescending and out of touch and are tired of it in front of other recent movies in the past few years too.
a lot more people than i thought brought up how as americans going to movie theaters is literally life threatening (either covid or shootings),
this white woman on tiktok responded SUPER defensively to someone saying the hanging tree song from the hunger games is ripped from a song about lynchings, and then OP called ME a racist for saying “hey maybe dont get defensive about this” tiktok.com/t/ZTRc5BYhU/
she made a whole video being like ah yes its just appalachian its from the book etc etc and im like bud??? there were black hunger games fans uncomfortable that this was clearly ripped from Strange Fruit and calling this out a LONG time ago.
the comment is erroneous in calling it a “traditional black folk song”, but their intent to be like “hey this is ripped from a song about lynchings maybe dont”, and her response of “uhhh no it isnt” is OFF as hell
my guess is that 1) there is a significant enough audience of casual viewers and young enough people who did not grow up with it as much they think they can rope in using TV 2) if youve been on tiktok or ao3 lately, sadly, people have not moved on
guys look at the numbers we want this stupid shit to be dead but it is FAR from dead
the fantastic beasts movies being huge flops wont matter if theres some riverdaleification of harry potter series on hbo max dominating the edits on tiktok
nothing funnier to me than people mad i wont explain shit to them in a tiktok video. no i explained how u can go read it yourself. i am not google. call me arthur bc i am encouraging you to crack open a book
then in the next video theyre mad i spoiled a manga thats been over for a decade PICK A STRUGGLE
“what happens in this scene” “heres how you can find the thing to read it yourself and everything you need to know to experience it” “wow what a bitch she lied to us” GIRL WHAT
