Wardruna and other artists who seek to recreate ancient musical forms would be where I'd go.I also want that, sure. I just also want the script to take the situations seriously. Not be serious in tone, just not having stuff like Boblin the Goblin. I can listen to The Adventure Zone for stuff like that. From a dnd movie, I want to see more the kind of story told by teams like High Rollers and Critical Role, or at the silliest, Acquisitions Inc. The C Team, which is far less slapstick and silly than the main AI show.I think to a lot of us, what you're describing is goofy. Airplane is goofy. Batman 66 is goofy. If this was a DnD show or cartoon for kids, sure, great. If there was already a successful dnd movie franchise and this was an offshoot joint with little to do with the main franchise, absolutely. But what I won't go and spend money on, is a flagship dnd movie that tries to be a goofy spoof of a movie, where I'd have to sit through Chris Pine talking toOffputting because they don't like it, more likely than that they don't get it.That isn't my experience at all. The dumb in-jokes, such as they are, never spill into the IC world. My character is never making a pun that makes no sense for them to make while talking to an NPC named French Fry King of The Sahuagin or whatever.Just not a goofy comedy that plays like Not Another DnD Adventure: The Movie! Bat-shark-repellant and "we were at sea, C is for Cat, Catwoman!" nonsense, no matter how straight faced the characters play it, is for parody, and parody is not what I want in a DnD movie. At least, not before there's been a good DnD movie that isn't constantly laughing at it's own premises, for the parodies to look to for inspiration.THis, absolutely. Rocket wants to get people to give him their prosthetics, and has some rage and resentment from being a lab experiment with no home and no people and no family. Drax is...oof. Drax. When just touching him casually makes Manta break down completely in the second one, that's rough stuff. But it's far from a "serious movie", it's just a movie where the script and characters take the world around them seriously, and act as though they actually exist. I certainly don't want Snyder-verse DC movie style DnD movies. I  can't even fully express my disdain for grimdark without someone getting mad at me, around here. I just also don't want Teen Titans Go!.</blockquote>
