They do explain 1 or 2 of the various egregous plot holes in the movie. The other 7-8 are left unexplained but these are the most glaring ones that are filled.)Those things are D&D.Of course the true winner of this poll should be "The Gamers" because it is too damned accurate a portrayal. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
