If this movie doesn't start with the heroes in a tavern, I will be disappointed.

I'm prepared to re-evaluate my position if Chris Pine narrates either set of credits in song.

I wonder if Pine can sing?

I mean a bard who doesn't sing would be odder than a bard who doesn't cast spells!

Made me look.

The ‘greatest evil the world has ever known’ line still bugs me a bit. Not only is it oddly delivered, but this is frigging Faerun! They see greater evils than this every Wednesday before breakfast…

Hyperbole. The Forgotten Realms is chock full of greatest evils, but characters within the setting don't know about them all.

Szazz Tam is top ten, at least.

On the whole, the greatest evil is whatever the current one is. The ones in the past have already been stopped from destroying the world, and the ones in the future are irrelevant if the current one destroys the world.

Also, I gather the villain is, ultimately, Thay? Thay makes a really solid case for greatest perennial evil on Faerun. There have been more acute threats throughout history, and certainly bigger, more existential or metaphysical threats, but Thay is just kind of always there, chugging away in the background, still handcrafting traditional hickory smoked evil the way your grandpa liked it.

Yup, the trailers shoe Szazz Tam himself: apparently the main plot is thst the Red Wizards got a Bad News MacGuffin, the characters are working to stop them.

If this movie doesn't start with the heroes in burning down a tavern, I will be disappointed.

Fixed that for ya...
