Willow - Official Teaser Trailer

[Ryujin]

Rewatching the movie right now, to get into the mood.

I'm a little worried that this one will make the mistake of taking itself too seriously. I don't see much humor, or indeed any, in the trailer. The original was a brilliant mix of deadly serious themes and hilarious comedy, and would not have worked at all without both elements.

But if it manages to hit the tone of the original, it might be awesome.

Also, General Kael remains my all-time favorite display of D&D hit points in action.

We still quote the movie in my games.
"You are great."
"Help, I'm being pecked to death."

There was a novel in the 90s. I think it was by Chris Claremont (of X-Men fame) and Lucas (well, listed as coauthor). I didn't read it.

It was pretty grimdark considering the original film.

Predicts influx of halfling wizards.

I've always been a little bummed that not much ever came of Willow beyond the original movie, so this tickles my warmfuzzies. Nice to see it's a sequel. Not entirely sure what to expect, tbh, but I'm looking forward to it.

Oh good. I'm glad it is not just a remake.

Looks like DnD movie everyone has wanted. Also, why is there a balance of good and evil in every universe? Why can't there be more good? It's a terrible message that we are destined to have evil.

Evil just has better PR online.

There's a novel by Eve Forward, called Villains By Necessity that covers why...

Fingers crossed they get it right. We watch Willow every Christmas break in PJs. Such a classic and the best D&D movie ever made!
