I will always remember the DND movie as the first and last time my mom actually cared about anything related to DND. And even then it was explicitly only for Chris Pine.
I heard the scream at the end of the video and saw the meth fox and immediately got hit with a TurboTax ad after. That was 5 minutes ago and am still recovering from the mental whiplash.
I think the theme still works. The point of the ending is he was lying to himself when he said it was about giving his daughter a mother again. It wasn't, it was about getting the love of his life back. In the end, he learns to let his selfish desires go and instead bring back the woman who was more of a mother to his daughter than her real mother. It was about ACTUALLY doing the thing he promised his daughter, FOR her, instead of for him and saying its for her.
7:06 I disagree on this part lol. I think Chris Pine’s arc was not about letting go, per say, it was about him doing what’s actually best for his daughter, not what he wants to be best for her.
Something I thought that really worked for the movie was the combat variety, especially with spells. Because of the massive existing library to draw upon, to me the CGI in the fight scenes was super interesting and fun, rather than being the energy beam + energy shield that I feel a lot of CGI in movies (cough cough Marvel) ends up being.
They balance out the Druid's wild shaping by making her and the bard never cast any spells. Seriously, I'd love a wild shape only druid that got access to all beasts and maybe one other creature type of any CR equal to or lower than their Druid level. My biggest problem with Moon druid is it doesn't let you wild shape into a T-Rex.
Thatd be a fun player option. Also you! Should check out my druid videos! Theres something you will enjoy at the end of this one. ua-cam.com/video/ZB2oyeCtjVA/v-deo.htmlsi=Fcpv9dyoiCxAoVPs
well according to Mythbusters, explosions are only stronger in water if the epicenter of the explosion is also in the water. If the explosion happens out of the water the water actually absorbs the blast and makes it survivable for someone relatively close by in the water, they were testing action movie tropes. Its the same as bullets, the difference in mediums creates a kind of friction shield that lessens the transfer of energy. His hand should still be mush and the rocks should have still crushed them though... In fact, the weight of the sea water crashing down alone would have been enough to kill them but whatever... I feel like the whole scene could have been fixed if he had a little fire starter wand like a lighter and the cave had a deeper pool to it.
Well, clearly Olga was raging and used an action surge, thereby gaining -- I can't. Loved the movie. Some parts unintentionally made me laugh too, but Olga's big scene at the end gave me feels. I also thought the paladin really felt like that one-time npc or special guest player. And yes, that cute little druid stole it for me as well. I'm sure her DM had some homebrew that accounted for all that wild-shape stuff, probably a unique background.
I would say you’re only half right about Chris Pine’s character arc. Yeah he didn’t let Rodriguez go, but it was for an unselfish reason. At the end he said himself that he wanted to bring his wife back for himself and not his daughter, despite his promises earlier in the film. He knows that Rodriguez is who his daughter needs brought back, whereas if he brought his wife back it would just make both his daughter and wife resentful. So he let go of what he wanted in interest of what his daughter wanted. I thought it was very lovely.
Sure, but i still dislike fake out deaths in stories. Especially when they they come back minutes later. A death can be super impactful, but we dont do that anymore because the executive producers need them in the sequel.
The tabaxi made me think more along the lines of what a generic cat folk like the abandoned Ardling from the One DnD playtest would like rather than what I would imagine a tabaxi would look like.
This D&D Movie was a meh 4/10. The story, plot, characters, costumes & more was kind of just poorly done. A budget of $150 million & this is all they could deliver. The 57 most expensive films to date had a budget from $204 million to $447 million. Most films budget average 65million on average though most of the greatest film were made on 1/2 that. The people approving movie budgets in the USA must be mentally impaired or are pushing some ideology!

She pined for the new dnd movie
Explanation for how they survived the epicenter of the explosion & the rocks falling on their head in the dragon scene: the DM rolled low on damage
You got me there!
"And everyone walked away"
We call this, GM's oversight.
I felt this comment

Just as planned haha

ya that was cool. I especially like the magic hands fight.
About the evil wizard summoning hentai in the stadium would have been better if she used an illusion to hide the death coming for the citizens.
Anything would have been better than nothing haha
I think they were going for 1st edition tabsxi illustrations when they designed the tabaxi in this movie.
the forbidden tomes of yore
I love that the Palidan is clearly a GMPC
Tha paladin was great. I also loved how the movie started by someone sharing their tragic backstory.
SPOILERS
To be fair, Chris Pine's daughter kinda pushed to resurrect Rodriguez instead of the wife.

To be fair, hiding under water and creating an explosion is the exact sort of cartoon physics I enjoy
They players just convinced the dm that it's how it works in mine craft so it should work here

Did anyone catch that the Paladin was definitely a DNPC?
oh 100%.

I did genuinely like the movie. Im sad it did poorly at the box office.

LOVED the callback characters from the D&D Cartoon
They probably die

I hope angels don't look like they are on drugs
6:27 while i agree its definitly something i would cry over if it happened at my dnd table so i think it works well for a movie about dnd
One suggestion was that Moon Druids can sacrifice spell slots for Wild Shapes.
She was able to wildshape 7 times in one scene by being a level 20 druid.
Maybe??? She did not give off level 20 vibes though.
Seems like a level 20 Druid is a weird fit with a party where the sorcerer's strongest spell is 3rd level
The movie 7/10 this video 8/10
Acceptable
Bonners! Pull off your arms and charge! The Bone Wizard has dropped a new video!
Please keep your arms attached. They are hard to put back on.
At 4:52 is that the Mega Man X5 MattrexBurn theme playing in the background?
10 points to BigElms
@@bonewizard f*kn loved that game man
@@bigelms4954 great soundtrack. Never beat it though.
I give this movie 5 out of 5 bones 🦴🦴🦴🦴🦴

"1 like = 1 less cursed tabaxi I send out into the world"
But what if I *want* more cursed tabaxi sent out into the world?
Look if you like the video ill send you in particular one tweaked out fantasy cat.
@@bonewizard I'll take it!
Such a good movie. A pleasant surprise. Thank you bone daddy!
Bill beats bass
Hey, can the next video you do the saucer there is a lot of stuff that needs rebalancing and some of the subclasses need a buff
cocaine tabaxi.
I agree. Good movie! My wife thinks she hates D&D and she even liked the movie.
it was a fun movie
How can you prove the druid wasn't actually casting polymorph?
There were no verbal or somatic components. Also she does not show any ability to cast spells in the movie.
@@bonewizard fair enough
The druid took a special subclass called "dating the DM" that lets her do whatever she wants.
