This is what peak tiefling looks like. You may not like it, but its true. (just a meme, mostly )

Horns aside, I'm noticing a distinct trend for tieflings to be female redheads...

IIRC it was about stealing DVD players!

You recall incorrectly. It was, always and forever, about family..

"All our family videos are on DVD's, but we can't afford a DVD player! What should we do?"

Vroom, vroom!

I'm cautiously optimistic.

I agree that the movie needs to have a self-aware, humorous tone- Guardians of the Galaxy is, as folks have been saying for a while, definitely an example to emulate, for a fun ensemble movie. Trying to play a D&D movie as a serious drama is a sucker's game. It will inevitably result in bathos, and would almost inevitably waste what's unique and fun about D&D and end up a second-rate generic fantasy movie.

Why does Regé Jean Page's breastplate have grooves down the middle? Wouldn't that deflect blades inward?

1. Because it references his model-like physique, reminding the viewer of his rock-hard abs while actually putting him in armor, like any sensible fighter-type would be.
2. Because it's a classical reference, the Greek and Roman heroic cuirass.

Do you know how many sit-ups you have to do to get your armor to have a six pack???

The Druid has a slingshot!? Really? We didn't learnt anything from Rebels?

Art imitates life if Congress listens to my letters.

LotR was a fairly serious movie, but had its light moments.

I’m hoping it will be something that’s fun, entertaining and good story. If we’re laughing at the effects (Hello, Legend!) or how insincere the characters treat their situation, I’ll be annoyed.

Same. I suspect they just did a google image search for "Intellect Devourer" and copied it from there. That particular image is in the first row.

I bet a ton of players would be all about rescuing a cute fuzzy owlbear cub.

I suspect that it's a graphic designer given too much freedom. Or the movie centers around a heist where the team has to retrieve a baby owlbear from the clutches of a magical animal collector who has it locked up in his menagerie without him discovering them.

Hold on - I think I might have an idea for my next session...

they are both druids with horns.

there is that elf druid in the book who also has horns it might just be a popular thing.

Horns also seem to be a Druid type thing as well when it comes to headdresses.
