>noooo not my heckin characterinoooooos! THIS ISN'T WHOLESOME AT ALL
how far Cinemaphile has fallen
Family Guy style edge is reddit anyway
HAHAHA ME SO PSYCHOTIC HEHE, BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE AT RANDUM!
So the entirety of the 2000s was suddenly reddit?
No, not suddenly.
Please explain how an entire decade can be Reddit, especially when it didn't exist until 2009. By your logic, Cinemaphile was Reddit.
Cinemaphile was inspired by anime, Reddit was inspired by Invader Zim and all the other spastic, unfunny humor in the 00s.
Ok zoomer
>Reddit was inspired by Invader Zim and all the other spastic, unfunny humor in the 00s.
Reddit was inspired by Cinemaphile who played a big part in that "spastic unfunny humor in the 00s". Stuff lol cats was derived from caturday.
Robot Chicken was never funny, have a nice day.
>DESTROY THE PAST, EVEN AS YOU BORROW THINGS FROM IT!
Nothing was destroyed you moron.
>phoneposting
Yecch
they're not dying you fricking liar.
Saw they movie they die horrible bloody deaths to a slime monster and cat creature with like 8 legs. The girl with red hair gets eaten alive and melts in the slime.
It seems strange to make such a deep cut reference to do nothing with it other than shit on it
They're ripping off James Gunn and he did a similar joke in the opening of The Suicide Squad.
>cat creature with like 8 legs
Displacer beast?
Yeah, it's in the commercials. Definitely a Displacer. Looks good.
Oh boy, here come the guro freaks.
Then again, they're always lurking when the subject of dungeons and dragons comes up.
Your getting them mixed up with the other no name party. They just cameo and we don;t have the outcome yet.
her is the clip
And look I hate what I have seen just as much as the last guy but making up bullshit about it just muddies conversation and kills proper critique.
>Classic
Frick off zoomer. People actually liked the cartoon.
while I can say that sure people like it, it does not make it classic at all. Just old and irrelevant.
Unclench your pearls.
Honestly though, is it fair of us to scream about how bad something is when none of us are paying actual money to watch the bootleg streams? I mean I get that it's an awful way to treat a fun old cartoon, but I don't have a dog in any fight related to Hollywood media. Free is free.
>watch the bootleg streams
Let's not even do that. Let this die alone in the dark unwitnessed like it deserves to.
Was this cartoon disliked by 80s audiences or something? I watched it as a kid like 20 years after it came out and I had fun but every reference to it seems mean spirited except for that one Brazilian commercial. They die in Baldur's Gate for no reason and apparently they die here too
It was loved by its target demographic, and was at or near the top of the ratings charts for Saturday morning programming while it was airing. It was hated by a) grognards with their heads up their asses, and b) parental watchdog groups with their heads up their asses.
I adored this cartoon when it first came out. Watched it every chance I got.
My mom was not pleased but didn't stop me.
Definitely one of the best cartoons on Saturday morning in the 80s.
The frick is a "grognard"?
Old school tabletop roleplayers.
If they hated the original D&D cartoon, that means they'd probably been playing since the very original rulebook released, or even earlier.
It's like a Marvel movie you know? They'll go like here's that thing you guys all know and love. Well we just covered it in shit and gave it aids, and it'll never be mentioned again! Now watch this boring stuff happen.
>They'll go like here's that thing you guys all know and love.
Who the frick even cares about this besides actual 80s kids?
>Who the frick even cares about this besides actual 80s kids?
I watched it on Toon Disney as a kid and it was a fun cartoon.
I didn't see any of them die. It is a pretty typical tacky reference joke but I am more autisticly bothered by the treatment of the monsters.
The mimic isn't sticky and the gelatinous cube didn't even have paralytic effects and was fully visible. For all I know that is what they are like in later editions but it really undercuts their threat level.
I liked it as a kid and I am a mid-90's kid. I don't remember what channel showed reruns but I had a good time with it.
I ran a 2e game for about six years.
Pretty much
>here's that thing you guys all know and love.
Oh yeah, I remember all the times people ranted and raved about the D&D animated series, so beloved that it was cancelled for terrible ratings. Frick off. You homosexuals will whine about fricking anything.
>that thing you guys all know and love
Who gives a shit about a generic 80s cartoon?
Brazilians love the hell out of that cartoon and they're everywhere on the Internet.
Brazilians also love trannies and murdering their family members.
*Americans
Yeah, we do, but we also don't consider it to be good. Yet not a single normie that only watched the cartoons care about this movie, because the cartoon didn't have the D&D title.
>I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT TRANNIES UHGGGGGGGG
Cala a boca, gringo. Só patrícios sabem apreciar uma travequinha massa.
>Who gives a shit about a generic 80s cartoon?
That is precisely why it's suspect that it was included in the film. If the show was disposable, why did the writers care enough to demean it? Who is it for, and why?
Everyone who plays DnD knows, but don't really care, about the cartoon. I know they don't die in the movie, but I wouldn't care to see this dipshit of a party getting wrecked
Frick you fricking iconoclast
This movie literally isn't for you. Nobody into DnD give a shit about this cartoon.
Hell, even Critical Role fans that don't even play, are above cartoongays in the demographic meant for this movie.
>Nobody into DnD give a shit about this cartoon.
Then they're not real DND fans.
And I suppose you consider 'real DND fans' people who never played but watched the cartoon, right?
Yes, because they don't hide behind cool apathetic detachment like you grognards.
>grognard
I don't play wargames, I play RPGs. I'm sorry I hurt your feeling for not being into some crappy adaptation of DnD.
>you consider 'real DND fans' people who never played but watched the cartoon
>Yes
I've spent years lurking on /tg/ and I can firmly say that most people who are into DnD don't know about the cartoon or if they do know about it know about it as a piece of trivia, not having watched it
>grognards
I though grognards were supposed to be the borderline fundamentalist fans (If you're not play X edition, you are playing it wrong) type not the casual clout searching type.
who are these even supposed to be? what movie is this?
shawshank redemption i think
I wasn't expecting the Freddy Krueger cameo but they made it work.
why is there a modern D&D movie?
Hasbro wants to sell toys.
it's a brand people recognize
Hasbro’s shareholders discovered they owned the rights to DND and got pretty mad that Hasbro allured to Transformers being their biggest competitor when DND was the real money maker, if I’m not mistaken the shareholders could threaten to take class action against Hasbro lying. And before the movie was green lit the actual distributors of DND had an agreement that was about to conclude and they were gonna leave Hasbro for good. This movie is a mix of IP cash grab and a Hail Mary for Hasbro not to implode
Remember anons, IP based media is almost always about money and barely about someone wanting to tell a story, it doesn’t mean genuine IP stuff is nonexistent but that they’re outliers to the truth
shareholders are fricking stupid, D&D is most popular as an alternative to movies, TV, and video games, not as those. It's never going to have the basic appeal Transformers has, just like TF won't be able to be as universal a template D&D has. You can maybe create a video game alternative or license TV shows and comics, but as a big budget movie it just can't capture the spirit of the appeal. The Transformers movies at their height was basically paying for themselves with movie companies just bringing cars to them to use.
Hasbro would be making a shit-ton of money with a solid D&D app that let you set up games easier and run multiple campaigns, offer premade ones for easier accessibility, etc. I literally just thought of that just now, how do big companies not have ideas like that?
Hasbro could have been making BANK from DnD but were to slow and stupid to realize!
1. Battle Map packs. All dry matker erasable, randomized, and allows for some Rarity.
2. Invested in a MOBA game that let's you control a FULLY COSMETICALLY CUSTOMIZABLE class. (Sub classes can be added in updates and is funded on cosmetics only.)
3. Partnered with Figma/Nendoroid/S.H. Figure arts for figures of their villains! Do you know how many people would buy Strahd or Acererak!?
4. Gotten into the Dice market like Die Hard Dice did.
5. PARTHNER WITH THE OTHER PROPERTIES OF HASBRO! They could have made a Transformer that turns into the Tarask or a Beholder! Hell, sell it with a campaign book that let's players get weapons and spells based on Transformers!
6. Stop publishing books full of Fluff and Lore unless it's a campaign setting. Short synopsis of the creature/Item/Subclass and move on. Campaign books will go into more detail for them
>5. PARTHNER WITH THE OTHER PROPERTIES OF HASBRO! They could have made a Transformer that turns into the Tarask or a Beholder! Hell, sell it with a campaign book that let's players get weapons and spells based on Transformers!
They tried to make books for them but 5e just does not work for those types of settings. So instead they had Renegade Game Studios make a new system with its own books in which you can play Transformers, Power Rangers, and GI Joe, plus a crossover book coming soon and a Cobra PC expansion for the Joe line.
>6. Stop publishing books full of Fluff and Lore unless it's a campaign setting. Short synopsis of the creature/Item/Subclass and move on. Campaign books will go into more detail for them
The issue is they realized that instead of making books that will just be bought by the GM or just for player options if they make 1 book that just covers everything poorly they can get everyone to buy it.
>I literally just thought of that just now, how do big companies not have ideas like that?
You're not an MBA who gets paid $300 an hour to consult and tell suits things like "You should make a big budget movie!"
Without that degree and the brainwashing that comes with it, no suit will ever listen to you, because they all have MBAs too.
>reminding people of better characters in a theoretically better movie in your washed out grey, miserable cynical attempt at a D&D movie
What a hilariously shit idea.
Oh please anon, tell me how a movie about the 80s cartoon would be much better, somehow.
What are you talking about, they don't die at all. Hell the movie's barely earning that PG-13 rating.
Yeah I think OP is just one of those anti-modernist weirdos who think western society will collapse if you don't take everything from their childhood with the utmost respect.
See
It's disrespectful.
>It's disrespectful
How?
Are you moronic?
Have you watched the clip? How is this harmless cameo disrespectful?
But they don't die, you sperg
I assume it’s a thing where they feel it’s the movie saying “hey, remember this thing from you’re childhood? Well, it’s lame and old and goofy. Here’s them dying because they’re lame, and old, and goofy.”
they don't die though.
So? It's still disrespectful.
NTA but how the frick is it disrespectful if they survive? You outright lied for a shit bait thread
People are making good points. Don’t frick with people’s childhood.
How is it “fricking with their childhood” if nothing bad happens to them? They appear, it was cool, and nothing bad happens. What’s the issue?
>Get caught lying
>S-shill?!?
homosexual
'People' who? I know you're either baiting or shitposting, but how would this be messing with someones childhood?
I'm going to take the "le Enlightened Centrist" stance on this one
>One of Hollywood's biggest failings towards its co-opting of nerd culture is the overwhelming need for irony towards liking something. It is not enough to "like" something, it has to be subversive or deconstructed or else it is just vapid and shallow. That need to limit themselves to a coy wink and a nod when caving to such insecurities is, ironically, itself indicative of being vapid and shallow. It comes off as conceited at best and manipulative and, yeah, disrespectful at worst.
>Concurrently, there is validity to the idea that a lot of 80s cartoons were just 30 minute advertisements. That is certainly how it operated on a production and industry level. Moreover, so much of the writing was constrained by the standards and practices of the time let alone corporate mandates which were creatively stifling and effectively forced writers to produce mass produced one note characters. While the objective quality of the product is bad, the emotional connections made with the viewer are real and that connection should be valued even if it easy to exploit
tldr; 80s cartoons are bad but liking them isn't bad. Hating on something people like is a dick move, especially if you do it to look cool.
>Hating on something people like is a dick move, especially if you do it to look cool.
gay mentality.
Fortunately, it is perfectly okay to hate on you as literally no one, not even your parents, ever liked you. homosexual.
NTA but how does that apply to this movie? The appearance of the 80s characters is just an Easter egg only 80s fans would pick up anyways. They don't mock them or kill them off, they're just there. Otherwise this doesn't seem to be any worse than the first Bayformers movie.
Shhhh, we need reasons to seethe about a harmless DND movie.
Why? Why do movie do this? What is the purpose?
Disrespecting past generations is needed in a revolution
The only thing I want to know is since the main character (or at the very least the most famous actor in the movie) plays a bard, so they let him save the day in the end with a song? Because I bet y’all dollars to donuts they writers of this are THAT incompetent
relax my guy. he's a bard because it's funny and can pull off some luck shit. make some fricking robot friends and relax.
Does the homie even sing once in the movie? What’s the point of pushing a bare to the forefront if you don’t want to use the thing they’re known for
Have you guys even played D&D or is this merely crying about the cartoon?
I got in at 3.5 but I prefer Advanced.
I play since 3.5 but now I only play 5e and some Tormenta, I don't really get why so many people are seething over the movie. Maybe people thought it was an adaptation of the cartoon? idk
What movie or tv serie is?
god when did Cinemaphile turn into a bunch of pearl clutching gays?
Rusty Brown was a warning and we failed to listen.
what a coincidence
That's not modern Hollywood, is old YouTube animation/Newgrounds
You think anyone on Cinemaphile is old enough or young enough to understand what that is? They'll probably just scream Reddit or something.
OP is a liar.
y'know I'm actually pretty sure this violates the Greenwood contract actually which means if he cares enough to get off his ass, DnD doesn't own The Forgotten Realms anymore...also I think they now owe him about half a billion dollars IIRC.
I though the contract was that Ed could do whatever he liked but ti would be superseded by any wizards made cannon.
Now watch people ignore this so they can think reasons to be upset.
Looks like they're planning to kill those other adventuring parties since the heroes seem to be the only ones who know how to duck and dodge.
I don't recall anything like this from the Suicide Squad movie?
>I don't recall anything like this from the Suicide Squad movie?
The Gunn version had obscure characters from the comics die before the first act ended. Of course, the whole point of SS since the 80s was to kill off lame D listers and develop the cooler ones.
You can't really compare a few villains even Cinemaphile barely heard of to the protagonists of a once popular show. It would be akin to Gunn killing off...I dunno, Hawk and Dove? at the start of the movie.
>Hawk and Dove
You mean two C listers who end up dying in most versions anyways?
That's a perfect analogy for the DND cartoon since it's nowhere near as beloved as this thread makes it out to be. This isn't even the first potshot taken at the show.
Yeah, C listers you've heard of, not D listers you never knew existed.
I've heard of them only because I'm a comics geek you moron. If you had them killed off in the opening act of a movie, people would just say "Who?" In fact, that's what happened with the Titans.
You morons are sticking your heads in sand just so you can be mad at this point,
I wonder if they allow for multiple parties of survivors...or if they kill off the extras themselves.
moronic zoomie here, is the 80s cartoon any good? Is it at least better than shittier shows of that time?
It's available in its entirety on youtube, just look for it, watch an episode and decide for yourself.
Thanks for letting me know.
"classic"?
Have you not seen the D&D cartoon?
Yeah
What the frick? What is his from?
I feel like OP is lying so he can twist a fin reference into outrage bait
>defending Hollywood practices
Shill for Marvel why don't you.
But they DIDNT, which defeats the whole point of your moronic thread you liar
See
Don't you have more boots to lick?
I see the corporate bootlickers are out in force today.
Are the 80s gays the bootlickers or is it the people making fun of them?
I don't consume anything from Wizards for years, I either pirate or create every content I use on games.
The movie doesn't seem like anything harmful, just basic tropes in the D&D setting.
Why so many morons here are getting triggered over the movie? This looks like when Dobson got mad because the DIC Mario cartoons weren't considered canon to the games.
I mean have you see the Mario threads here? People are defensive over their childhood to an insane degree.
>Why so many morons here are getting triggered over the movie?
Because these tourists are dopamine junkies. They'll say anything to get their (you)s.
Because the Brand and game of D&D is an active community based space which got flooded by twitter weirdos thanks to the critical roll web show and proceeded to ruin the direction and content of the game.
This movie if it succeeds will bring in more shitty normies that will further corrupt the culture of the game and move it further away from the original based weirdos that make it good.
I wish normies would die off already.
While I agree about cringing at the twitter normies getting into D&D, at the end of the day, it doesn't affect the game itself.
I mean, no matter how much wotc or hasbro frick up the game/community, your campaign with your friends will not change anything.
It's not like vidya, were you depends on the companies to keep the servers up or the game patched.
We have had this discussion over on /tg/ hundreds on times and I still stick to the same point.
Your group may be fine for now but entropy is real. Accidents happen and people drift away. Your group may be fine for now but that can change and if it does change your likely going to need to pull either from the general D&D community which means dealing with the community or getting lucky if bringing someone outside the hobby into your game.
I understand your point, but I usually just play with people I know irl or friends that I already like. Also I know getting people into DnD isn't that hard, got some normie friends, my older sister and my ex into it.
Either way, you may be giving twitter morons too much credit, they are only a vocal minority in most RPG communities I lurk. Never give up the hope of finding other fellow autists.
This! Normies are a fricking cancer. They have to be turned away immediately.
Cry more little b***h.
>WotC in hot water over OGL and MTG botchjobs
>Should be cultivating good will, and avoiding controversy
>Killing these characters would probably make more people upset than it would make people happy
Fricking up is on-brand for WotC, so those homies dead.
On a board made up entirely of moronic threads made by homosexual OPs this is somehow the most moronic thread either the gaygiest OP
>on a board made up entirely of moronic threads
Wait nevermind this is Cinemaphile not Cinemaphile. Sorry I take that back
>Wait nevermind this is Cinemaphile not Cinemaphile.
You honestly could have fooled me.
God I love Cinemaphile threads that pollute this board even though their connection to cartoons is tenuous at best.
Not Cinemaphile, get out.
Do people actually care about this or you guys just looking for something to get mad about these days?
Maybe we're tired of the past being dragged through the mud.
"The past" dude it was a fricking cartoon and not even a good one. Grow up and start getting mad about the things that matter.
You didn't have a childhood
You have to be 18 to post here
Hillary lost
weird that people might care about an obscure 80s cartoon on the comics and cartoons board
Anon they don't actually care. If they did, they'd be talking about the cartoon itself, not spazzing out about a cameo in live action movie.
>why do you care
You can repeat this a gorillion times, it changes nothing. Someone cared because it's in the movie, and it's in the movie for a purpose. If it has no bearing on how the overall plot plays out, what purpose is that? You can't hide behind cool detached apathy forever, if you really wanted to be dismissive you wouldn't even come to this thread to tell everyone to stop thinking about things.
Yeah, there's no problem in feeling nostalgic over something that isn't that good. But there's also no reason to mald over a simple cameo.
>what purpose is that?
It's just a little reference. What exactly are you mad about? Did you expected to movie to be about the cartoon characters?
>Did you expected to movie to be about the cartoon characters?
That would have been a much better idea yes.
>If it has no bearing on how the overall plot plays out, what purpose is that?
It was just supposed to be a cute Easter egg for people who might have grown up with the show.
But because nostalgiagays are so bitter and autistic that all it takes is one bullshitter to convince them their childhood is being under attack.
I don't think anyone here actually gives a shit a out the 80's cartoon or is even old enough to remember it. But you just want to pretend you do because it let's you get your performative outrage at the movie in
>also Pathfinder 2e is better
My question is why here? Why not b***h about this on Cinemaphile. This barely counts as Cinemaphile related.
Unless you've seen the full movie, how do you know this? In the released clip, you only see them in a group shot at the start and grabbing an axe from a chest.
It's 3-2 guys on a discord spamming this across Cinemaphile Cinemaphile and /tg/
>How dare people give others a warning about their childhoods being exploited
Guarantee 90% of you never even grew up with the cartoon considering the majority of threads on old cartoons are about ones from early to mid 2000's. You just want a reason to b***h and moan
>their childhoods
>1983
