D&D 5E Best on screen depictions of the Monk class

[Garthanos]

That's where we get the Fist of the North Star reference! Which is basically the modern reference to the Quivering Palm but also if it was in a Mad Max-esque post apocalyptic hellscape

Was not familiar but ... "what are you doing trying to tickle me to death", heh

Welcome to the best example of how flurry of blows works and why monks are the best class to be in Dark Sun

For the list of paladins, I'd add:

Kaulder from The Last Witch Hunter

Robocop from, err, Robocop.

I think I'd take Ser Davos out and put Ser Berric Dondarrion in his place. Good call on Brienne, definitely.

Tomorrow's poll: Paladin. Here's what I have so far. Using 5e paladins, this means paladins of archfey and redemption can be included. Taking submissions:

The video I seen was legit extremely over the top.

I'll add Berric Dondarrion. Keeping Davos because he's the Onion Knight. His backstory wasn't on screen, but he's total paladin. Even with his behavior on screen with the girl; the compassion and dedication for what is right? Yeah, paladin.

Kaulder is actually on my warlock list.

I can get behind Davos - indeed, he is one of the few Game of Thrones characters with a strong moral compass. And he was religious - in the books, certainly, they make much more of his adherence to The Seven in the face of everyone else turning to R'hllor.

Avoiding spoilers, I had forgotten about that part of The Last Witch Hunter. Perhaps the only cinematic warlock/paladin multiclass?

I think you need to update this poll: Picard Episode 4 has given us as close to perfect monk exemplar as you can get.

uh, hmm, you got a good point there. Goku should've been a shoo-in, but we already have the Monkey King on this list so ¯\(ツ)/¯

for that matter, does Seiya (Saint Seiya) count as a paladin? I nominate him, he's all about justice and serves a deity (sort of) and obtains armor that gives him supernatural abilities after going through a trial (or trials—look I'm not into this series that much, but he still seems like a good candidate).

If not Goku then certainly Tenshinhan could be considered.
