Top Comments of this video!! :3
My favorite line from Edgin talking to the disguised red wizard was definitely "I wasn't trying to bring your mom back, I was trying to bring my wife back." Being able to admit that there IS a difference there is so huge. It's what later makes Edgin choose to resurrect Holga instead of his wife. Because that WAS bringing her mom back.

I remember being pleasantly surprised at the choice to make Holga's dynamic with her ex as accepting yet awkward. Like many failed relationships, she doesn't care about him romantically but still harbors a fondness for him. So she shares his joy at a new relationship while grappling with moving on herself, thus crafting a storyline more mature for the audience.

One interesting aspect of this movie that a number of D&D fans have noticed is how much the characters actually feel like they're people playing a character in an actual roleplaying game, and the way each failure manages to be sidestepped through the cunning of the party or gentle pushes from the plot like a DM would while playing a campaign. Definitely a nice touch.

As a long time D&D player, YES, the game is best when its not taken too seriously. Literally last night, our party was holding off a massive swarm of spiders in a tunnel, when my rogue lost consciousness. And what did the party do? Yeeted my limp body further down the tunnel to get me out of harms way!! We all laughed so much that it hurt!!! So happy to see the movie embrace and understand that chaotic energy. Really deserved to be a box office smash.

This film is self-aware and winks at the audience... but it, and it's characters, don't loathe themselves or apologize to the audience. They take things seriously but have fun with it and commit because the writing and the filmmaking are superb. They don't have to feel self-conscious about so they can introduce a ridiculous paladin NPC, lampshade it a bit but accept, and them move on as their characters really would. It's truly a LOVE letter to it's fans instead of awkward, snarky fan service.

Holga saying, "Why would you waste it on me?" is such a heartbreaking line to me. I'm so glad they all hugged her afterwards.
On an unrelated note, someone suggested that if they do a sequel, they keep the main cast of actors and they all play totally different characters and I sincerely hope this happens (not that I don't love this gang, they're excellent.)

What I love about the forestomping-on-your-face bit is that it feels SO true to the D&D experience as a DM. You'll practically spell out exactly what's happening for your players, and somehow they will STILL misinterpret it and go off in another direction you haven't planned for. It just fits so well!
