[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 8197522, member: 6906155"] They knew what a Marvel movie was though. And there was plenty of information available to explain the "in space" part. But getting people to go see the movie isn't the only thing this movie has to do. It's also has to set up a movie and TV franchise and sell games (part of the money is coming from Hasbro). No, it's easy to explain magic trains. It's explaining what magic trains [I]have to do with D&D[/I] which is difficult. People who don't play D&D [I]think[/I] they know what it's about, and what they think it's about does not include magic trains. And one of the things that cause people to rate a movie down is if it fails to meet their expectations. And, if by some miracle, your magic train movie is successful, you have forever associated D&D with magic trains. If you then wanted to do a Forgotten Realms movie the audience would wonder "Why are people riding horses? Why don't they just take the magic train?" [/QUOTE]
