For many of those fans, such treatment validates their views and they'll feel they have fuel for the fire for arguing that their hobby (and the related IPs) is not a kiddie thing and should be seen a cool, but serious thing.I get that vibe, I also had that whole, "Football fans sneer at my game while wearing silly things on their head" thing while growing up in the uncool times.  I've also seen that the MCU has lost some fans because they think this new phase of movies is too silly for them. Yet, many fans say we need some more lightness in the DC movie-verse.But the world has caught up with us and perhaps we have too many serious fantasy movies now? (Not really if you ask me.) And I enjoyed Vox Machina! And I enjoyed Ocean's 11 as well.As long as the movie is fun. I think we will be alright.  That sets up cult status which eventually means others will come along and try to do your more serious D&D movie. I think a fun D&D movie will really be a win-win regardless because here is the secret. ...Money.When fellow gamers asked me when will the hobby catch fire? I've said, "When it starts to make real money." Every major mainstream thing, golf, football, reality shows, are also revenue streams. Once the suits feel like they can get a taste, success begets success. And if that means the first D&D set of movies out of the gate are a fantasy version of the Fast and Furious and nets F&F money + F&F sized fan base, that's all right with me.</blockquote>
