D&D 5E Best on screen adaptation of the bard (poll)

[Sacrosanct]

Similar to yesterday's barbarian poll. If you were to show two adaptations of the bard on screen to show a new player what a bard class encapsulates, which of these characters would you choose?

Rules: Only 2 choices on this poll, since it's a much smaller poll size. No literature references; only on screen. So no Thom Merrilin, sadly, even though Wheel of Time is in production currently.

No Edward from Final Fantasy IV? You spoony poll!

Good lord, why is it that the first reply in these polls is always "your forgot so and so!"

In the other poll, I even asked for suggestions for this poll in case I forgot someone. I can't know every TV or Movie or video game character ever made, you know.

 

[Twiggly the Gnome]

No Chao Ya? Yes, I did nominate her in the other thread.

 

[Leatherhead]

I'm going to go with Jareth the Goblin King (Labyrinth)

 

[Fenris-77]

Toss a coin to your witcher...

Heh, I think they may be a sizable percentage who have never seen the wonderfulness of Danny Kaye in The Court Jester to vote for it.

Bards do magic and very few of the proposed bards (that I am familiar with) do so. Had to go with Kubo.

Edit: Would have voted for the bard in The Gamers: Dorkness Rising were it an option. It's literally spoofing RPG bards on purpose, though.

You could always go the conspiracy route and they people left them out of purpose just so they could annoy you.

OK, suggestions for the next poll: Cleric. Here is what I have so far, but I have this feeling I'm missing a very obvious one:

Friar Tuck (Robin Hood)

Athelstan (Vikings)

Bishop Heahmund (war cleric, Vikings)

Cardinal Richelieu (Three Musketeers, Tim Curry)

Dorian (Wrath of the Dragon God)

Yoda (Star Wars)

Queen Taramis (Conan the Destroyer)

Air Nomads (Avatar the Last Airbender)

Carl (Van Helsing 2004 movie)

Abraham Van Helsing (Bram Stoker’s Dracula)

Sister Agatha (Dracula 2020-)
