D&D Movie/TV Just saw Simon the Sorcerer's Action Figure (HUGE SPOILER WARNING)

[Henadic Theologian]

You'veReading the box containing Simon's action figure, and while I wasn't surprised that his Half Elf hertiage was confirmed, or that he descends from Wizards, despite being a Sorcerer, the big reveal about his Heritage is...He's descended from Elminister Aumar!

For some reason didn't expect that, but I should have, I mean at this point half the heroes of the Forgotten Realms are probably related to Elminister, whose magic seed has likely spread further then Ghangis Khan's.

I thought half the heroes of the Realms were Elminster just cosplaying when he got bored of saving the universe...

Ewwwww....

Huh. Interesting.

Wonder if Samuel L. Jackson will show up at the end as Eliminster and ask if they have heard of the Revengers Initiative.

I love Samuel L. Jackson, but him playing Elminister would not be a good idea, maybe one of the Bara instead.

Ideally Ed Greenwood would play Elminister, but there are other good choices as well.

I'm not sure what actor would be right for the role, Mike Myers? Pierce Brosnan?

Ian McKellan obviously.
I always imagined Elminster being a bit like Brian Blessed, RIP.

Was he the dude from the Lord of the Ring movies?

I'm sorry, but we're going to have to ask you to leave geekdom.

Ooh, Mike Myers...could actually really work? Capture that Canadian vibe.

I kind of picture Elminster as a Cross between Gandalf/Merlin and Austin Powers/James Bond.

 

[Henadic Theologian]

Oh man if Elminster makes an appearance in this movie I just just imagine the Elminster vs Gandalf Epic Rap Battle of History!!!

What do you mean, RIP? Both Sir McKellen and Mr. Blessed live (though you might not necessarily be able to get them to do the part.)

Brian's ALIVE?!

Isn't that just playing himself?

You gave me an incredible fright there by typing RIP! Good to see BRIAN BLESSED is alive and well.

Honestly, now that I think about it a younger BRIAN BLESSED would be an incredible Minsc.

Oh yeah, absolutely. He's got the charisma and the ability to flip between tense quiet and BOMBASTIC VOLUME that is quintessentially Minsc.

I apologize for thinking Brian Blessed had passed. I must have hallucinated the news and subsequent threads I talked about him in. I, too, am very glad the world still has Mr. Blessed in it.
