[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8536283, member: 18"] You don't think putting Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot and The Rock in one movie, all of them playing [Default Character] was the trick to it being so successful? I mean, I ask because I do. If Reynolds wasn't in it, I wouldn't have even bothered watching it, based on the synopsis and trailers. Reynolds AND the Rock AND Gadot? I pretty much had to. I'm not saying Netflix doesn't know what they're doing. My critique is of the writing specifically, and I don't think it follows, logically, that whatever they were doing 5+ years ago is "more popular", because, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the first time Netflix has assembled so many high-value, charming A-listers in one movie? Normally they spread them out. I'm certainly hoping Thurber writes a great D&D series. I'm just y'know, skeptical. Especially as Bright (aka Shadowrun Lite - now with more crude racial analogies!) was their previous "most successful movie on Netflix", and it was rather dreadful, writing-wise (and action-wise, actually), it just had Will Smith in it.
