D&D 5E Best on screen adaptations of the D&D cleric

[Sacrosanct]

Similar to the barbarian and bard polls. This time, cleric. Which adaptations do you feel from the poll work best to exemplify the cleric. If a new player wanted to play a cleric, choose your top 2 choices of characters you'd refer them to. On screen only, no literary references.

Choose 2 options.

I like David Thewlis’s Templar from kingdom of God!

 

[Tony Vargas]

Have to go with Van Helsing, on the strength that he's the reputed inspiration.

Maybe point em at the white-lighters on Charmed - they are support types, vaguely spiritual, and glowy healers. (Just ignore the at-will teleportation)

 

[Tonguez]

Thor of MCU - uses a hammer, prays to his Odin, summons lightning

Priest from the vampire slaying movie

 

[Lanefan]

Friar Tuck, specifically from the Kevin Costner version of Robin Hood.

 

[Lakesidefantasy]

Friar Tuck was always a Monk in my brain.

 

[Minigiant]

If you aren't allowed on screen depictions of people from real Earth religions, then I say that Melisandre or Thoros from Game of Thrones are some of the best depictions of a D&D cleric on a screen in the last 10 years.

Add int your favorite religious vampire hunter and you have 2 of your picks right there.

MCU's Thor

 

[Sacrosanct]

Added poll options, so if you want to change the votes. I still think Thor is just a fighter with a hammer of Thunderbolts (he doesn't actually worship anything), but I bow to the masses

Well, he stopped using the hammer half way through the series.

His primary concern is whether he is judged to be worthy. Sounds like a cleric to me.
