It's worth noting that a movie becoming a flop is not unrelated to its quality, since word of mouth from people who actually watch the movie is a big driver of ticket sales. Different people will have different points of view and different preferences for what they want from the movie-going...

I made a correction in the original post - apparently Fantastic Beasts 3 is next week, which is still not good for Morbius' chances of making a theoretical profit on box office alone. The total worldwide take for Morbius is around 80+ million now, but with the next two weeks about to be...

That sounds a lot like what happened with the failed Paul Feig-directed reboot of Ghostbusters (aside from the other failings). They reportedly ended up having to do expensive reshoots because Feig wouldn't listen to objective feedback on what was missing from the planned principal photography.

Well, all action-oriented movies are going to have some overlap, so even if they don't have the same exact audience, there should be significant shared audience.

So apparently Sonic the Hedgehog 2 AND Fantastic Beasts 3 are releasing this week. EDIT: Looks like Fantastic Beasts 3 got moved to next week, which may be even worse for Morbius in some ways. This means that Morbius' box office take will be competing with not one but two popular franchises...

Shout out for BATTLETECH. :cool:

I think a good angle to approach Morbius would have been to explore science versus the supernatural, with supernatural enemies that force Morbius to use his skills as a scientist to thwart their plot while fighting them with his powers as a living vampire; this could have been a possible set up...

The screenwriters for Morbius (Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless) also wrote Dracula Untold and Gods of Egypt. If you enjoyed those movies, everyone is entitled to their personal preferences. I predict however that there's going to be a ton of distancing from this movie for the Sony and Marvel...

When Thac0 became 0cahT, it was a much needed turning point for the game.

PRIEST -- Merriam Webster definition someone who is authorized to perform the sacred rites of a religion especially as a mediatory agent between humans and God One could say that Clerics are magic priests. Paladins who serve deities could be considered warrior priests.

When the campaign uses a polytheistic setting with actual deities and miracles known as fact in the world, some knowledge of the afterlife would be a must-have in my opinion, so that people won't be hesitant to embrace a faith due to wondering what the other gods have to offer for eternal rest...

I think a sprinkle of planar stuff would be good for Spelljammer, if just to acknowledge that the universe is part of a greater multiverse, perhaps through planar portals that can be reached by, perhaps only by, spelljamming. Some planes or demiplanes might even only be accessible by finding...

Nut-Sir. The eternal rival of Mister Peanut.

Might be a typo for 105 years, which would be 1490 DR.

Considering how Szass Tam tried (and failed) to set up a Dread Ring array for a powerful ritual of godhood ascension, the secret even Mystra helps to keep might be a convergence of leylines; a hub of the world's natural flows of magical energy might be located either permanently or cyclically...

Tuesday, 2/22/22 (or 22/2/22) It is an auspicious day to live. Get outside and have a breath of fresh air. Finish your homework. Spank your kitty. May the Power of Twos be with you twoday.

It's practically every army by medieval standards. The professionals are typically a small number compared to the infantry fodder that makes the bulk of armed forces, usually made up primarily of conscripts. It costs a lot of money and resources to have people professionally trained in olden...

The citizens of a city-state in an olden era fantasy world ARE the standing army. Every farmer, blacksmith, baker, etc. is a potential conscript for war. They are permanent recruit-ables and will typically get paid a reward or get a chance to do looting if they show up for duty as called for...

Unlike almost all video games, a tabletop campaign can explore the afterlife, making death a meaningful adventure in of itself, and a death can affect the world in unpredictable ways by what has been set up in the relationships and interactions of the dead character. In a videogame, death is...

Given his love for the game, I'm expecting the new Overlord Cocks to make Magic the Gathering cross over with everything. Planescape with Magic the Gathering planes sprinkled all around. Live action Magic the Gathering for movies and series. Barbie becomes a 10/10 Colorless Planeswalker Sliver...
