Hmmm... Probably, first would be J.R.R. Tolkien....maybe Moorcock exposure. Tarzan? (Tarzan becomes incredibly fantasy after the first book). Then came Wargames...and then D&D. I loved Nickel and Dime SF books back in the day. The old SF Radio shows that came on.

So...Huma looks like Pedro Pascal?

Raistlin is a good Chaotic Evil character. Ironically, though not indicated by that and the author says they are not...Elminister could, in theory, actually, be the perfect Chaotic Evil Character as well. Many CEO's of some major Corporations (if you know them...you know them) are absolutely...

The furor I saw was more to do with the idea that she was using "witches" as a term. In some Traditional Christian theology, witches are those who make a deal with the devil for power and become his "daughters." In a similar vein (this is a D&D site!) they also had Warlocks, which did the same...

Similar situation. I have never read the books, but I had a daughter that absolutely loved them. I didn't really care about them, but she was a huge fan at the time. It was due to her that we went to every Harry Potter film the night they were released. I probably would not have seen the...

I can actually agree with this take. I think it was a mistake to make it into 2 long movies, much less 3 long movies. It allowed them more time to add things (similarly to how they added things to LotR) adding to the Hobbit in more abundance. (One thing that annoys me about LotR is that they...

I normally don't call this out, but did you note how quick people were to jump on a PoC (perhaps one of the few on this site) and try to label me? Does that seem odd? I normally ignore it and give people a pass on it. However, let's get brutally honest here about the complaints people are...

Mickey 17 Forget 58 generations....Mickey only took 18...though with 18...maybe that's just what they needed to set things right.

A very expensive match lighter...

I thought the Lord of the Rings movies were terrible adaptations. Like...horrifically bad adaptations. I'm a Tolkien Loyalist I suppose. However, after I separated the movies from the Books, I saw the movies as iconic pieces of art in and of themselves. As I had already realized that the...

You guys know we are on a D&D site...well...originally a 3e D&D site, and despite my love for the creators of D&D, there is some history that some would notate regarding some actions they had taken previously, some things that went on at the offices, and things far worse than anything dealing...

Despite personal feelings, let's try to center this more on the series than who originally originated the ideas (they do not need to be named). I'm cautiously hoping they keep this more true to the books, but I'm also skeptical that they will with how Hollywood likes to change...

Didn't see this posted yet. The biggest thing that sort of annoyed me was that the scar over the eye wasn't that noticeable. It didn't seem like it should...and if they can't get that right... It also seems like they stole some of the scenes shot for shot from the movies. Everything seems...

The difference could be the difference between Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War Middle Earth Games... and the Gollum Middle Earth game. People just are not as excited about a slimy whiny villain as they are about heroic characters on a epic quest. I think the movie Gollum may be just as...

Not all of them, but I can list some of them... Malificent (does this one actually count, as it is more of a reframing of the original story)? People loved it...I did not. 101 Dalmations (is this like...the first of the live action remakes?) Jungle Book (this one was actually decent)...
