Yeah, IDK about that. Lighthearted and fun certainly has its place out there and can obviously work with D&D, but IDK about for Forgotten Realms. It's not leveraging the expansive setting to its strengths for storytelling and worldbuilding when it's being used for a comedy about meta-humor revolving around the gameplay and pop-culture identity of D&D.
Forgotten Realms very easily *could* be a serious lotr-style epic, so IMO it's kinda disappointing to see it exploited in a very surface-level manner to chase popular cinematic trends, no matter how well executed.
Well, I’m all for “a comedy about meta-humor revolving around the gameplay and pop-culture identity of D&D”. It’s great news for me if that’s what this film is, but obviously not so fantastic for you. Hopefully there’ll be another film or TV show that’ll be more your cup of tea in future. And I’d definitely watch that, too!
