D&D 5E (2014) Best On Screen Representation: Barbarian

[Tonguez]

Besides those already mentioned the only other on screen Character I can think of who fits the Bard class is
Prince Robin the Brave, from Muppets The Frog Prince



Does Jem from Jem and the Holograms work as a Bard? Singing and Illusion powers?

If we aren't limiting ourselves to Fantasy as a genre then:

Josie and the Pussycats.
And the kids from Jabberjaws.

How about Galavant? Bard/Paladin.

Is he really a bard though? I mean, he sings, but that’s because the show is a musical and everyone sings. He’s not really defined as an entertainer within the context of the show because singing is the norm.

He sings. That's good enough for me.

When I read Bobby I thought you meant Bobby from king of the hill.

That kid ain't right.

I suspect more votes would go to Thundarr but it was 40 years ago and a lot of people probably don’t know him. I mean, the title of the show was Thundarr the BARBARIAN lol. And he was pretty stereotypical barbarian

If others think River fits the barbarian class, then I'll add it. She seems more of a monk to me.

I would have put her as monk, it goes with better with the psychic powers.

 

[Stormonu]

I'd nominate Tarzan for the Barbarian list, though he could also be consider a Ranger.

Tomorrow is the Bard poll. And honestly, I'm struggling a bit. There aren't too many bard archetypes on screen. I better take ideas now. Here's what I have so far. You can tell I'm pretty desperate lol:

Fflewddur Fflam (The Black Cauldron)

El Mariachi (The Mexico Trilogy /w Antonio Banderas)

Minstrel singing Brave Sir Robin (Quest for the Holy Grail)

Eddie Riggs (Brutal Legend)

Geoffrey Chaucer (A knight’s Tale)

Dandelion (Witcher)

Gabrielle (Xena)

Lorne (Angel)

Jazz (Transformers)

Gambit (X MEN)

Hubert Hawkins (The Court Jester).

It's an oldie, but is pretty much the only one I can think of where the bard is the protagonist rather than a sidekick.

NB Alan-a-Dale is a bard in many versions of the Robin Hood myth, not just the Disney version.

Cacaphonix

The Beatles (Yellow Submarine)

For Barbarian- Grace Jones' character in Conan The Destroyer (what is it with that movie and D&D tropes)
