D&D Movie/TV ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Live-Action Series Not Going Forward At Paramount+, Will Be Revamped & Shopped By Hasbro

I do not want to watch as how where "real life players" are sometimes showed. Talk about immersion breaking, and it'd make me think that show was nothing but beer and pretzels trash not really worth my time watching.

I still say the ultimate D&D show is a Clone Wars quality level Eberron series that really leans into the noir and pulp adventure aspects.

Same. Well done FR, Eberron, Darksun etc.

Sure...not every idea is the right idea.

I don't think the Wayans Brothers are busy these days. Wasn't their movie in the FR?

I still don't understand the eOne sale. It happened essentially right before the movie came out, and seemed to deflate their whole plan to break into the big leagues, MCU-style. And signal a lack of confidence in their overall TV/movie strategy. Is there something I'm missing, as far as why they felt the need to do it?

Remember: for all of D&D's woes: we actually got a decent movie out of it. Magic the Gathering has lingered in development hell since the oughta...

MTG would make such a good animated show.

I wonder if this is part of the problem. The stuff that we enjoy, like Honor Among Thieves doesn't fill the coffers. They need the kind of thing that would make normies tune in.

I think a general, feel-good, coming-of-age sitcom type show could potential have that mass market appeal. Look at Stranger Things. It's not a D&D show, but rather a show that happened to show D&D occasionally. When it came out I had friends coming out of the wood works to tell me about it. People who never played D&D, and had no desire to do so.. But they wanted to ask me if I'd seen it because I like D&D. When I finally got around to watching that first season I was surprised at how little D&D there actually was.

It worked for The Princess Bride and The Neverending Story. Far from “beer and pretzels trash not really worth time watching,” they’re both all-time classics.

An anime adaptation of Destroy all Humans. They can’t be Regenerated. would be the greatest thing since the anime adaptation of Dungeon Meshi.
