Eberron isn't a particularly wild thing. It's just a slightly more modern fantasy setting. And I don't think you're remotely thinking about the modern audience. How do you think people are? "Classic D&D" is like, retirement-age stuff almost (soz all my fellow oldies). I'm 42 and I was raised on Dark Sun and Planescape and so on. Not on Greyhawk or a particularly staid take on the Forgotten Realms.I mean, jeez, even the very first setting I bought - Taladas- has massive steampunk fortress replete with a ton of steampunk technology (before steampunk was even popularized as a term even among nerds). Back in 1989.So how old do you think the audience for this movie is that they want "classic D&D" or  "classic fantasy", which is like what, 1970s and 1980s stuff? Larry Elmore and Clyde Caldwell? I mean there's nothing wrong with that, but it's like, granddad stuff almost. Why would you want a movie that needs to succeed to go that way? Eberron would be much more likely to at least fit with how people under 40 envision fantasy, people who were raised on Final Fantasy and World of Warcraft and so on.So the guy saying Legend, of all things is a great movie thinks I have "terrible" POV? I mean, I think that maybe means I have a "great" POV? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> But let's be real, neither of us have any shortage of hot takes. At least I know mine for what they are!</blockquote>
