[QUOTE="Sketchpad, post: 8169869, member: 9168"] I believe as television evolves more and more, the need to use it for longer storytelling is necessary. I believe that having a series that deals with the daily life of characters is important, but one that explodes on to the big screen to tell a larger than life story is also important. Take the current stream of CW superhero shows as an example. Having a series focusing on The Flash, or Batwoman, or Supergirl is all good. But when we need them to be larger than life heroes, that's when those characters, and the actors who play them, should hit the big screen. In this same example, the crossover "Crisis on Infinite Earths" could have benefited from a larger budget, some actors coming in to play additional roles (Batman, Wonder Woman, etc.). Instead we got a mediocre crossover. In regards to a Dungeon & Dragons series, and using Critical Role as an example, the show could focus on the group drama and adventure that the heroes face every week. This would build up characterizations in the same way that Critical Role does for many a Critter. Watching the growing romance between Vex and Percy, or the friendship of Grog and Scanlan, would make for great TV. But taking the really epic stories and spinning them into a high budget movie would make that all the better. Imagine going to see the Chroma Conclave's epic finale in the theatres. Then return to the series format with repercussions felt from the movie. I don't know about everyone else, but that's what I would rather watch. [/QUOTE]
