The panel was great. Hugh Grant (at his first ever Comic Con!) said he joined because the script was so funny. They showed another clip that was basically Chris Pine being hilarious, plus another with more of the monsters.
As a longtime D&D fan, the tone is spot on. D&D can be high fantasy, lowbrow or anything in between. The "fun" in D&D is what matters, and this trailer brings it. Core monsters, archetypes, crazy/tried and true scenarios. All checked... Pleasantly optimistic.
I forgot this was even a thing, but casting Chris Pine as a Bard is perfect. Nice to see what they can do when there's real money behind it.
It also helps that at least one of the writers and directors, John Francis Daley, is a long-time D&D'er, so there's someone who knows what makes D&D fun at the root of the story and direction.
The banter absolutely feels like how many of us play D&D, which is perfect. And Hugh Grant as the 'antagonist', which seems like a great pick.
Yes that one guy who killed a guy drunk driving
What a perfect pick
@@Utubesuxmycock huh? Are you perhaps confusing him with someone else?
@@Utubesuxmycock The closest thing I can find related to this is a drunk driving arrest from 30 years ago, not killing a guy. What's your source that says otherwise?
The Lich is probably Szass Tam. He is the leader of the Red Wizards of Thay. I think they are in the movie. There were many scenes with Red Wizards.
My favorite easter egg was my favorite monsters in D&D. The Displacer Beast.
It's the Panther that was attaching when the group jump into the gelatinous cube.
In D&D 5e even a single Displacer Beast can be very difficult for a lower ranking party. They can shrug off full attacks where a successful roll would normally just shrug off half damage and takes half damage on fails. And all attacks against them have disadvantage because their displacer ability makes it so what you see is an illusion of there the beast actually is. It "displaces" it's image to fool prey and enemies.
Aside from all that it's already a bad ass panther but then add some nasty tentacles to its back. YIKES.
My favourite D&D monster too!
I absolutely loved seeing the Displacer Beast in the trailer ^_^ My immediate reaction was "KITTY!"
@@SubeTheWench Me: "I have a pet triple-kitty."
Them: "A what?"
Me: "A triple-kitty."
Them: "So... three cats?"
Me: "No, just one, but you can't tell by looking at it."
Them: "..."
I got so hype seeing a freaking Gel Cube and a Displacer Beast in the same frame in a film. Displacer beasts are such pesky creatures, but they're so fun to throw at a party as the DM. One of my favorite mobs. Also, the (presumably) Tiefling Druid wild shaping into an Owl Bear was awesome. LOL That immediately told me at least some people on the crew of this film knew their stuff pretty well.
Those robes are super red which makes me think Red Wizards of Thay. I think the guy who looks like Vecna is the Lich dictator of Thay, Szass Tam. Very similar vibes to Vecna in the evil undead wizard category ^^
Or one oof his lich underlings, but yes, probably the whole conflict is between the party and the Red Wizards
This movie has the *perfect* tone for people who have played the game before or at least fans of watching it through stuff like Critical Role and the like. I'm honestly really happy that they didn't go the super serious route; I don't think it would feel as much like D&D if it did. For me at least, D&D is all about the fun chaos a party can have and just bouncing off of one another as this giant adventure unfolds. I think, at least from the trailer, they've captured that really well
Wholeheartedly agree!!! It's all about the silliness and uncertainty when you're playing the game that they appear to have captured in this movie!!! Can't wait!
When dnd become a stage play? You easily pleased sycophant clown
100%. I haven't seen the older attempts at D&D movies, but from what I've heard about them, they all *tried* to go the super-serious, "this is serious high fantasy, guys" route, and they were all hated by the majority of moviegoers. I think this one finally "gets" what D&D is about and has the perfect tone, at least from what the trailer shows. D&D is about a bunch of people who don't know what they're doing, getting together and (in the words of Scanlan Shortholt) fucking shit up, then trying to fix their mistakes while having a fun time and continuing to fuck shit up 😁
Yaaaaay finally a channel that knows D&D is reacting to this. Ive been seeing only movie reactors do this so Im excited to see what yall think. I think the movie looks great!
This movie actually looks very fun. When I first saw it I was like "An owlbear??! Mimic??!!" and I like how it actually feels like it's based on D&D. And it kind of fits seeing Chris Pine as a bard. I was also very concerned when the announcement came, that a D&D movie was being made. I've been playing D&D for about 7 years now. But now I feel a bit more at ease. I will definitely watch it.
When it comes to favorite characters I've played, one of my favorites I've created for a campaign is my aarakocra monk. I think monk is one of my favorite classes. I pretty much made a thing where she followed the teachings of an old monk from her clan (and had to go learn more about the world (kind of like Keyleth). She is very badass, but very sweet and naive. She was about 10 years old when the adventure started (aarakocra mature at the age of 3 and don't usually live longer than 30 years). We managed to finish the campaign that lasted a couple of years and even had an epilogue where she lived a fulfilling life having her own apprentices and then died at the age of 45. The rest of the party came to her funeral. It was very heartfelt.
Even if this didn’t have Dungeons and Dragons in the title I would watch this movie. It looks like LOTR meets Guardians of the Galaxy meets Uncharted. I REALLY wish that I had played D&D growing up though.
There was a displacer beast, the druid I think went though a dimension door, and that was a black dragon at the beginning, and yeah that guy is a lich but he's a red wizard of thay
fun fact that was the geldingadalir volcano that erupted in iceland almost 2 years ago now, looks like they where filming here and got super lucky
The Bard was wearing a Harper pin, so while he's saying they're a band of thieves they're almost certainly of the Robin Hood variety.
LOVE that trailer (especially for an old D&D player)!!!! Can't wait. Great tone and cast!
Never play D&D but this looks epic. I watched some videos of the Stranger Things cast playing it and I can tell I loved the stats of the elves, also love wizards
Sounds like if you ever decide to play, you should be an elf wizard 🙂
to add--the writer directors are John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein who wrote Spiderman:Homecoming, Horrible Bosses and also directed Date Night...all great films. This bodes well!!!
And they worked with WotC to make sure everything is as authentic as possible.
And they're both D&Ders, especially JFD who has been an avid player since his teenage years on Freaks & Geeks introduced him to it.
The bard is wearing a Harper pin, so we're definitely in Fearun.
Yep. The D&D folks at Wizards confirmed that the cities we see in the trailer are Neverwinter and Waterdeep.
Ahhhhh!!!!!
I don't think it was Vecna, most likely it was a Lich or Red Wizard of Thay.
I'm so happy they showcased the little things they did. The inclusion of what appears to be a Tiefling Druid with her horns?? Super cool. Chris Pine obv the Bard, maybe multiclass Rogue. Clear spellcaster, looking like a Wizard. The guy who is either a Cleric or a Paladin, and then freakin' Michelle Rodriguez as a female Barbarian is flawless casting. LOL This is gonna be a ton of fun. Looked like the evil dudes may have been one of the more evil races like the Gith possibly. Although a less popular beast, I like that they included the black panther creature which is a Dispalcer Beast. Decent CR rating monster, and a pain in the ass to fight because they can zoop all over the place and displaces itself (as the name implies). They might actually knock this film out of the park with a cast, concept, and budget like this.
I'm glad people are giving the writer a pass on giving the druid an owlbear beast form. A game has to have rules, and so they don't allow players to become op monsters. I can imagine this druid has an attunement to owlbears because of where she was raised. Your beast form should reflect the creatures you're around when you learn the power.
Also, the D&D rules have always been guidelines, not hard lines. Rule of Cool is the law of the land, and what's cooler than a tiny woman turning into a giant strigine-ursine beast? 😁 (Yes, I Googled how to say that without saying "owl" or "bear" 😁) (And inb4 some rules lawyer "corrects" me: I know owlbears are classified as monstrosities, not beasts; I was using the term casually.)
I can’t spell his name, but I’m willing to be that is the head of the red wizards of thay, who is also a powerful lich
You guys were the first thing I thought when I saw the trailer! Loved the reaction!!
I 100% thought that was Vecna too!
Totally the Cult of Vecna surrounding him and it looks like it's him rising to power.
Given the red robes its much more likely a lich of the Red Wizards of Thay, possibly Szass Tam
Pre-god Vecna is more Greyhawk than Forgotten Realms
@@kixter490 I was thinking Thay as well, and I'll be incredibly happy if they give us Szass Tam.
@@kixter490 for sure was thinking Szass Tam and the Red Wizards. Szass Tam is a lich as well so that would be my vote.
Those are the Red Wizards of Thay. Some (a lot) of them are liches.
The upside: We might finally get an awesome D&D movie, and D&D continues to go mainstream
The downside: So many people are going to be copying this movie for their characters and campaigns I’ll probably be sick of it.
What do you even mean? My dual wielding Drow Beastmaster Ranger and his panther companion are totally OC!! 😉
I think it's more the other way around. This movie is based on some rather broadly used parties and interactions. There's a tiefling for crying out loud.
@@Uldihaa Yes...but a tiefling *druid.* I seriously never thought of that combination, even if it is easily possible.
@@gryphoncompanion I've seen people talking about their tieflings for years now, and it is THE most common race I've seen.
I've seen so many "Here's my super unique tiefling who isn't at all like every other tiefling people have been making since 4e" that I just sigh in resignation when I see a new one.
Reckon the glowy horn they stole was the Horn of Orcus? ;)
That druid teleportation spell *has* to be planar shift, since the other two druid teleport spells require plants on both sides to work. But the destination doesn't look like another plane to me, so... I'm thinking they just Rule of Cool'd it and gave her dimension door for plot reasons (just like they let her wild shape into an owlbear even though technically they're a monstrosity, so wild shape doesn't work with them).
This looks very fun! To answer your question, I haven't played many characters, as I'm relatively new to D&D (I played one campaign in college, and then got back into it like 3-4 years ago, and played the same character for 90% of that time because campaigns kept ending before I got to explore his story). So I may as well just list all three of those characters 😁:
1. A dwarf fighter named Shabu. This was my character in that college campaign, the first time I ever played D&D; dwarf fighter was recommended to me by my friends as "an easy combo to play". All I remember about him is that whenever he'd kill an enemy, he'd put his handaxe up to their forehead and press it in until it left a large gash in the flesh but didn't break bone, as a calling card.
2. A tiefling named Ranios. This is the guy I brought into multiple campaigns hoping to explore his story, but never could. Depending on the campaign, he was a warlock or a wizard. His story was that his father was a demon who killed his mother upon his birth, but his mother had made a deal with the demon dad to provide for Ranios when she was gone. To "technically fulfill" his end of the deal, demon dad left baby Ranios on the steps of an orphanage, and he grew up with only a letter from his mother, going from one foster home to another, constantly being bullied and discriminated for his demon ancestry. (At one point as a young teen, other orphans held him down and tried to cut off his tail to "make him less of a freak", and they were only stopped by the foster mother walking in on them.) He made it his life's goal to find and kill his father in revenge for murdering his mother and leaving him an orphan. The warlock version got magic from his dad as part of the deal his mother made (but didn't know that's where the power came from), the wizard version studied magic to prepare for his vengeance quest. Both focused on cold/ice magic explicitly to rebel against the stereotypical demonic fire, since he wanted nothing to do with his demon ancestry. (In one campaign as a warlock, it was going to be because his dad was an ice demon, though he didn't know that.) Because of being discriminated and bullied, he's very principled on Hammurabian morality: if someone hurts someone, then they should be hurt in the same way as punishment; if someone doesn't hurt anyone, then they are fine and should be left alone, regardless of what they are or what they're doing. To the point where his warlock familiar was a quasit named Hammurabi.
3. My current-ish character, a Goliath death-domain cleric named Zarin. His whole deal is that he thinks burning or burying the dead is a waste of resources, and they could much better be put to use as undead servants with necromancy. After discovering the Goliath goddess Kuliak, who's only mentioned at funerals and avoided the rest of the time, he starts experimenting with necromancy as practice. He doesn't get far before he's caught digging up a corpse, and is exiled from his tribe and labeled Desecrator. Turns out, Kuliak is also the goddess of exiled Goliaths, so she protects him and they form a relationship whereby she provides him some magic over life and death. He doesn't exactly "worship" her, it's more of a personal friendship, whereby he prays to communicate with her, and she communicates back through feelings, abstract ideas, and occasionally dreams. She rarely speaks directly to him, though sometimes she does. It's like a friendship where he's not afraid to call her out on her shit, and she does the same to him. His goal is to become advanced enough in necromancy to prove his ideals right -- that the dead should be used for labor -- and return to his tribe to show them they were wrong to dismiss him. But so far, turns out zombies and skellies aren't *that* useful, and his (my) attempts to use them have all ended in disaster. So now, refusing to be defeated, he's decided that he's just not practiced enough to make useful undead, so meanwhile he'll focus on killing as many people/creatures who "deserve to die anyway" so there will be more corpse options when he *is* powerful enough to use them. (I.E. necromancy attempts have constantly got me close to death, so now I'm focusing on dealing necrotic damage to things instead -- but with story reasons!)
All that said, I haven't found a group of friends/players who are as enthusiastic about the roleplay/character acting as I am, so half of the story is just what I've decided has happened "off screen" to motivate the character, rather than anything that's been played in-game. One day I'll find my nerdy improv troupe, I'm sure 😁
Very excited for this based on this trailer!! Loving all the easter eggs and the tone!
I love playing spellcasters, wizards and warlocks in particular. My favorite race is hard to say, but almost any race that's lawful evil is a strong pick for me: hobgoblins, githyanki, duergar. Just in general I like dwarves quite a lot.
My character I want to play the most, though, is a human necromancer who is trying to decipher a way to literally save his father's ghost from fading out of existence before he can finish his business and pass on to the afterlife properly.
The one you thought was Vecna was a Red Wizard of Thay.
Ohhhh thank you!
So, set it the Forgotten Realms? That would be SO cool. Big Faerun fan here!
@@dawlingolingo3733 The Official D&D UA-cam channel did a video on it. Apparently the prison in "Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden" was actually added to the the book because the movie needed a prison for part of the script. They are also in Waterdeep and the Underdark, I believe.
Was about to post that, but saw someone beat me to it :D
@@DougCoughler Yes, I've been digging! Harper pin! Red Wizard of Thay! Neverwinter! I'm very excited. All my D&D campaigns are set in the Forgotten Realms, since the early 90s. A dream come true!
I have to admit that I was very pleased with what I saw and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes. For many years I've been DMing, however, my favorite character to play was a half-elven, dragon-blooded sorcerer with terminal curiosity.
Have played a lot but I normally play either a cleric or Barbarian and usually half-orc or similar big race option. Played a beast-hide shifter (Eberon)
I loved watching you guy's reaction!!! Especially coming from a perspective of being D&D players!!!! I can't wait for this movie!
dive into a gelatinous cube to avoid a displacer beast!
Also, latest character is an e5 Kenku Ranger. Favorite was probably my AD&D2nd Mage/Fighter - played up to lvl 15
Druids don't wildshape into Owlbears (Monstrosity) usually, not even moon druids. But this still looks fun. :)
All the D&D fans flipping out about the Gelatinous Cube in that one shot, but am I the only one geeking out over the Displacer Beast that was right next to it? :)
They need to have the cast from Stranger Things react to this trailer
This trailer was completely awesome. Wow action packed and crazy fun. I really love it. Really good video "Movie Couple 👫 🙌👍
I didn't know this was coming, but its great to see a live action D&D on the heels of animated Vox Machina.
Nice reaction. Thanks.
I think the Litch may have been Szass Tam, mostly because they show what looks like a Red Wizard of Thay.
For me, my favorite character is a Aasumar Paladin.
The guys in red are the Red Wizards of Thay. A country(?) run by necromancers basically
There's always a 3x3x3 foot room for Jello.
Good vid guys I have zero knowledge of D and D and i am interested!
Am with you guys. I think they nailed the tone and it's awesome that it is set in the Forgotten Realms. Also I think they will pull in the non-gamers with this as well. Great cast and just looks like a lot of fun
My character was a neutral good grey elf ranger. I miss playing him and DnD in general.
The trailer to this movie is ready good.
I loved your reactions.
Please share more of your Dnd party. I know that you are level 2 now
Yes we're level 2 now and I think we're about to finally arrive at a town so we can sell goods, shop, rest, and etc.
I can’t wait
it looks so much fun. also my fav. The displacer beast!
I seriously hope this movie dominates the box office I can’t wait!
The 1985 classic video game Gauntlet by Atari games was released around the height of the role playing games like dungeons and dragons
It became the first true dungeon crawl arcade game
And one of my favorite classic video games
the writers for this movie have done movies like spiderman: homecoming, freaks and geeks, and horrible bosses, there's going to be a great mix of comedy and solid storytelling
oh, they did their research on this. some of the locations include waterdeep and neverwinter.
This looks like so much fun. I'm glad they didn't go too serious with this. My favorite character is a level 20 half elf fighter who became a champion of magic. 3.5 edition
Guardians of the Dungeons. Looks fun. My fave class is a Paladin. I especially love to play them in Ravenloft.
Guardians of the Dungeons and Dragons in the Galaxy: Volume 3.5 Edition 😂
Im usually Dm’ing but I’m playing a Shadar Kai twilight Cleric in a tyranny of dragons campaign and it’s a pretty fun build.
Every time I hear D&D I always think of Stephen lynch and his song called D&D
This is looks epic i am wait already new film about D&D.
I mean, the redheaded druid with antlers seemed kind of familiar...
They are horns; the druid in the movie is a Tiefling. Still wouldn't be surprised if that was a conscious nod to a half-elf druid most of us know.
BTW, I love dwarven clerics and have played them for years.
The Lich looked a lot like a Red Wizard of Thay so I think he might be Szass Tamm
As if I didn't like you both... But your DND players... OMG I love y'all more.
I'm really looking forward to this movie. I'm currently playing a campaign with friends where I play an Elf Artificer and treasure hunter who is my homage to Indiana Jones. He carries a pistol and a whip.
My favorite D&D race in FR is the Drow and my main AL character is a Drow Necromancer 🕷🕸💀🧟♂️🧟🧟♀️
Looked like the druid used dimension door because was more like traveling around current plane not a plane shift.
I wasn't interested in this movie until I saw your review, even though I watch Critical Role and play D&D on Tuesday nights. I agree that if it wasn't funny, I probably wouldn't give it a second thought because The Legend of Vox Machina is how high my bar is set for a live action D&D movie. I read someone's comment from a magazine/online article saying they thought Chris Pine would be wasted playing a bard, but the way Sam Riegel played Scanlan speaks volumes about just how clutch a bard can be. I prefer to play Life Clerics, but our last campaign ended and the DM asked me to switch specs so I'm an arcane cleric now. I miss my plate. =(
Don't Forget the Displacer Beast.
me, pre-ordering my ticket: "Roll for Initiative!"
Did you guys break into that room to record? Why are you both whispering? lol! I am so happy that I watched this with as I only know D&D through watching Vox Machina with you both. Great reaction and hope you enjoy SDCC.
You never know how thin the hotel walls are - trying to keep it at a reasonable volume for the people next to us.
I'd love to tell you my favourite class and race, but I'm cursed to be a forever DM 😅 I'd love to have a go at playing a bard though, most likely a Tiefling.
This looks really fun. Hope it is actually like what the movie really is and not just the best parts.
I don't think that was Vecna proper, but it most certainly was a Red Wizard of Thay
You should have seen Adam Driver in the HBO hit comedy-drama series GIRLS with Lena Dunham and Alison Williams .
I never played DnD but I'm interested in this movie
My favorite Character is Nessun, a Human Wizard
Not Vecna (he had both hands and both eyes), but the color scheme and bald head is telling me that that's a Red Wizard of Thay. I'll admit, I was hoping for a different tone than I'm getting from this trailer, but I'm not giving up hope yet. There's a lot that looks good and I'm looking forward to what they have in store. I'm just hoping that they didn't show all the cool parts in the trailer while also hoping it isn't just two hours of pure fan service.
It's not Vecna. I believe it's Szass Tam, a powerfull Lich, and a Red Wizard of Thay
Are you going to do a trailer reaction for Rings of Power?
Not Vecna. ... a Red Wizard, possibly Szass Tam?
I wonder how many people are into D&D simply because of the free game Idle Champions.
I don't think that was Vecna, I think it was the head dude of the Red Wizards of Thay.
Unfortunately not vecna. They’re the red wizards of thay from forgotten realms
Gotta do a trailer reaction for the movie SHE SAID
Um... is that relic potentially a Horn of Orcus? Because definite bad juju there! I am frothing over this. I really hope we get a film that does D&D justice. There seems to be a (hopefully) good balance between humour and severity which is part of what the game is. Fingers crossed for the actual film. Also loving that Chris Pine is playing a Bard!
Excellent catch; definitely one I missed!
Red Wizards of Thay
Did you gays get to the D&D honor among Thieves Tavern Experience at SDCC 2022 at 6th & island ?
I have yet to see anyone talk about the displacer beast. Come on, it's a classic D&D monster.
And the gelatinous cube and the mimic. Etc etc lots of cool dnd monsters on display
This looks so much better than the previous D&D movie 😆
I thought the Druid used dimension door in that one shot.
That's cool!!
Looks interesting. Chris Pine is funny.
Thieves? THIEVES?? We are MURDER HOBOS!
Hahahahaha!!!!
Here's hoping that this does well after the major success of The Legend of Vox Machina. Just like the MCU, I hope that Vox Machina and Honor Among Thieves starts a new Tabletop-verse. (So that we can also forget about that awful 2000 movie lol)
The classes are Bard, Barbarian, Paladin, and Druid.
Don't forged the magic user, the character played by Justice Smith.
I think this movies gonna have something to do with Orcus cuz I feel like the thing they stole is the horn of Orcus. Just makes sense to me idk
A little tidbit: Vox Machina are rumored to have a cameo in this...
👀
Current character is a warforged warlock that uses the mask of many faces invocation to give off the appearance that she is a normal human female. So far the party has not figured it out yet. 😉
I'm excited for the movie but I have two worries/complaints. Tiefling druid doesn't look enough like a tiefling. Imo anyway. Chris Pratt's character is bard with no powers? My only concerns so far.
Well and Thieves were what we had before they became Rogues.......Looks amazing though.
