why wasn't it a big success
>>215290012It's a kino flick disguised as slop
Sophia Lillis is way too short to be the real Sophia. The Real Sophia is above 6ft tall.
negative brand recognition
>>215290012First impressions and its release date made it seem like a predestined flop.Also dropped during the peak of fanbase backlash at Wizards of the Coast for shitty proposed changes to D&D stuff.Worst part is that if they had just pushed the movie back like 4-5 months to after BG3's release, it would've probably been one of the most successful film releases of the year.
>>215290012if 2 many groidsbest avoid
This movie is underrated kino.
>>215290012Because all you all MotherFucking Cocksuckers were talking Fucking Shit and Shitting on it before it even came out! You didn't even give this movie a Fucking chance! You were making fun of the Black Paladin character. And then of course the movie hits streaming and not a single Fucking person didn't like it, they all can't believe how good it is and the Black Paladin was most peoples favorite character. But they already made this Fucking movie fail! And now we won't ever get another Kino like this because you Fucking Shitbirds had to make a Fucking point. You Fucking young Millennial and/or Zoomer Fucks!
>>215290012I liked it.
>>215290012turns out people who say they like d&d dont actually like d&d. most actual d&d fans wrote it off even though its actually decent
I remember how some schizo would seethe about this movie and one time he was kept up for three consecutive days spamming by anons who were making back to back to back threads about it. Fun times.
>>215290012It was a as big as a movie about D&D will ever be.
Sophia wasn't front and center in the marketing.
>>215290478You can also blame the film industry moreso than the audience. You cant expect someone suffering during the woke dei slop era to look at this poser of a Hollywood DnD and see a Black paladin with the kilmonger cut, a nergomancer, strong woman barbarian , bald evil women is the mastermind, and the main white dude is comedy relief.No one in their right mind would think this would be a kino movie at the time.
>>215290012poor marketingmakes a bad first impression
>>215291080>charming thiefSo every other character not described as charming is lame-o mid charisma void? well thanks for telling me not to watch your movie. anytime they eagerly and directly tell you how you should feel you can safely ignore it as dumb schlock.
>>215291176he's not charming or a thief he's a comic relief bard, a harper technically
>>215290050This anon is correct.For the archives, Dungeons and Dragons Honor Among Thieves
>>215291176>So every other character not described as charming is lame-o mid charisma void?He's a bard, you literally have to have a charismatic check to be a bard
It didn't help I imagine, that all the previous DND films were very bad.
>>215291271Class systems are so fucking gay
For me? It's 4e.
>>215290012Go woke, go broke.Everybody knows this
>>215291343Would you watch it if AI could raceswap and genderswap characters?
>>215291080Exactly.Ugly orcs and hook noses are box office poison.Release fascist kino's if you want to make mint
>>215291343Based. Fuck orcs and hook noses
>>215291343That anon was right and it wasn't terrible but you really didn't miss much.
Bad advertising strategy in an era where everyone knows Hollywood and western slop sucks.Like fuck, let's be honest here, people who disagree with me agree with me, they just pretend not to. Everyone hates Hollywood. Hollywood sucks. Covid, wokeness and going all in on streaming are the 3 dumbest fucking things you can do when compentition is starting to appear aboard and, most fucking importantly, they can put up 5 to 10 films for the price you spend making one episode of tv. Fucking think about that for a minute. You don't need covid, you don't need wokeness, you don't need the streaming push; competition being as good or better anywhere from 1/5th to 1/10th of the price point alone is enough to sink Hollywood eventually. All this other shit just accelerated the ever loving fuck out of it.
>>215291343If only you didn't make it impossible to get an honest opinion from the mainstream media, then maybe we wouldn't have been trained to assume the worst everytime.I glad Furiosa flopped to. Also glad Andor flopped. I don't want good movies that respect the audience's intelligence that just happen to be female led or handle politics with nuance. You should have given me that in 2018 or 2019. I don't want well thought out politics. I, very specifically, want an overcorrection that pisses you faggots off even harder. I'm one of those niggas that supported free speech 10 years ago, but now thinks actually we should ban it, from leftists.
>>215290012It felt like Critical Role instead of Neverwinter Nights.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6KESRkd0J4
>>215290594god that was so much fun
>>215290012dnd has never ever been popular. The whole "nerd culture" thing with comics and game of thrones becoming popular didn't carry over to dnd. There was no reason to believe this would be a success. Only a fucking retard would put their own money into it. dnd is never going to be a thing. You shouldn't want that anyway because once something catches on with normies they run it into the ground to "appeal to broader markets." If you like something you need to gatekeep it. Some of you still don't understand this, I can't fucking wait for black Elric of Melnibone. You faggots are going to get what you deserve for talking about it too much.
>>215291677Mega based
>>215290012Annoyed me I couldn't let my under 10 nephews and niece watch this because of the swearing. They'd have loved it.
>let's make a dnd movie>everyone is human and blackI'm pretty sure you need dwarves, elves, and shit.
>>215290012I enjoyed it. I just hope we can get a more serious D&D flick too. I'm okay with silly to serious and in between. Just give me variety, not just one thing.BG3 isn't my favorite D&D game but I think it's fun. It's easy to accept it being a bit more silly because I have so many other types of D&D game already.I don't have that with the movies. The old 2000s D&D movie was silly. The follow up was low budget and silly. The third one was even lower budget and shot and acted like a porno.I don't have a lot of variety with D&D movies. I like it. I just want other approaches to D&D movies too.
It was one of few movies I've tried to watch and couldn't. 30 minutes in I've decided I have enough and turned it off. Bad humour, too many brown faces, retarded writing all together.
Niggers only belong in fantasy if they're cannibals.
not enough of sophia in it, her char was the best, not white muscular warrior in it, cause toxic masculinity ,lmao
>>215290012It was pozzed and wokenever get pozzed and woke
>>215292520>BG3shitty woke dating sim, not thanks
>>215290012Why it should be? It's mid as fuck, they didn't even get the proper conclusion, Bard should've married barbarian girl.
>>215291515>Would you watch it if AI could raceswap and genderswap characters?Yeah, definitely.I look forward to the day when enthusiast-level AI becomes advanced enough for autists on here to routinely excise niggers and uggos from all major releases.>>215291677>I, very specifically, want an overcorrection that pisses you faggots off even harder.Same. I didn't mind all this stuff back in the day but now I just flat out refuse to financially or socially support any media with more than the barest hint of diversity. The studios went too far with their propaganda and attempts at social engineering. Fuck em.
>>215292786she was by far the worst actor in the movie
>>215293370Barbarian girl had a midget fetish though
>>215293627They've broke up with midget and she became like a mother to Bard's daughter.
>>215290012>glances at posterNiggers.
>>215290012wokeslop dei nu-d&d for zoomers who hate everything true D&D is meant to be. I'm sure the target demographic ate it up.
> tfw this movie looks like LOTR compared to some of the shit DnD is spewing out these days
>>215290012Like most films recently, the advertisers took the money (usually quoted as the same as the budget for the film) and shafted them by paying for a few adverts on face (no nearly enough or targeted at the right audience) and using the rest as a "dividend" for their hedgefund shareholders.It was successful enough to justify a sequel despite this, but because it was a slow starter the studio burned its bridges too soon.
>>215290012It’s because it was SHITEveryone on /tv/ is all>yes my man this is kino! kino i tell you!And I watched it and it was quippy and boring.
