Dont know if Teethling should be making fun of other peoples names.

Maybe they should be called Hornylings?

I mean, it would be 100% accurate to the way I've seen most Tieflings played.

Movie is bizarre in how bad and cheap it looks. Also...a lot of it seems VERY similar to the original D&D movie that came out at the same time as LOTR...

Greetings!

Of course white people are being marginalized. In film, music, in academia, business, everywhere, white people are discriminated against, and vilified.

Hell, we have an Editor at the NYT, Jong I think her name is--that wrote on her Twitter that white people are the problem in society, and that white people should be exterminated. Women everywhere should not breed with white men.

She kept her job, and was applauded and celebrated for her vicious hatred and racism.

So, yeah. I imagine the D&D movie will show all kinds of minorities and women as being "stunning and brave"--while white men especially are laughed at and depicted as incometent doofuses. Naturally, according to the Woke, if you are a minority, you are special, and uber, and beautiful, and if you are white, you are inferior.

I don't have high expectations for the D&D movie.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

You too on the "this isn't white enough for me" train?

So disappointed.

Greetings!

No, I'm not on any train. I am, however, disgusted with the constant shrieking throughout society about how great minorities and "POC", "BIPOC" and women are--and how terrible and inferior white people are, especially white men. This bullshit has been going on for awhile now, and it is disgusting. I've read all kinds of articles about business, colleges, music, movie and Hollywood, where white people, especially white men--are hated and mocked, while women, and "BIPOC" are praised to the fucking heavens, and endlessly and constantly celebrated as fucking beautiful, uber, and wonderful in every way.

It's flat out fucking racism.

So, while I'm not on any train, if white men are depicted as idiots in this D&D movie, it isn't surprising to me. I like normal, happy people, and normal, appropriate stories. I'm not a fan of racist fucking morons, or bullshit racist garbage that masquerades as "academic truth" or popular entertainment, of whatever kind, and in whatever medium or venue.

Greetings hermano, well put!

I saw the trailer, let me tell you about it:

The only white (and lets be honest, he's straight) male on the good guy's side is an incompetent bufoon, constantly outshined by everybody and emasculated by the stunning and brave stronk independent wahmen who don't need no fish.

Yeah, it's also a hard pass from me. There was a time when I could overlook that because there were other stuff where it balanced out, now? They can get bent.

Oh fucking puh-lease.

You all sound like the most whinny bitch racists ever right now.

This is bog standard Hollywood diversity casting thats been a thing for at least 3 iterations of SJWs trying to twist it out of shape. Theres nothing wrong with the casting other than the castings diversity is so weak kneed they went with people that at a glance you can barely tell are minorities. And one whos a minority only when the SJWs allow them to be.

They went the safest route possible and cast the whitest looking minorities they could lay hands on. Or would take the job.

As for the barbarian gal. Oh give me a fucking break. Shes a bog standard snarky amazon type. Nothing new here to get your panties in a knot over.

But no no no. Its all oh woe is me! Dem evil whammens is scarededing me!

Fuck sake the lot of you are going to make perfect little next wave SJWs.

The more I look at the trailer the more it looks like an IDW comic. And that is not a good thing.

Yes, you're right, this Maya is a white supremacist...

Or, hear me out, that's what I saw and those are my sincere opinions that have nothing to do with the characters' race but with the writting.

Or you could keep on trying to give me white guilt.

You might not be a white supremacist but you sure seem plenty racist. And don't even try and tell me Mexicans of Maya origin are not racist - I work with several, and you know I know there are plenty of racists in your part of the world. Often even more blatant than in America.

Are you actually trying to "white guilt" Mexicans now? This is so funny! Will you try to "white guilt" the Chinese next, when this movie bombs there? Oh, wait. I forgot that "Pedowood" can just do "ghost screenings" now, like they did for the Captain Marvel movie......so maybe Pedowood doesn't actually need real people to go see their so-called "D&D movie", which is really just a giant corporate ESG exercise in critical race theory propaganda. Money laundering is alive and well in the movie-making business...

While you're at it, Misty, will you call Mexicans "Nazis" next? It sure feels like you want to. Remember, when in doubt.....call your enemy a "racist" (or Nazi!), and you can justify any evil, depravity, or social shaming upon him....while automatically winning any argument with the target you've "unpersoned".

Right?

P.S. It's hilarious watching Misty trying to "white guilt" a Mexican into purchasing a corporate product.

QuoteOf course white people are being marginalized. In film, music, in academia, business, everywhere, white people are discriminated against, and vilified.

Oh, for Lord's sake stop whining SHARK. D&D let's remind you - can be game about rainbow skinned hippo-people barbarian, so whining that only Main Lead and Main Villain are white guys is totally pointless.

Especially when in this film you have actual ginger white female not played by AfroAmerican

Quoteou're barking up the wrong tree. But I do at least recognize low doses of neo-Marxist wankery when I see it. I also recognize Hasbro trying to normalize and destigmatize evil races like dark elves and tieflings and orcs in modern D&D, because the people who control the IP seem invested in subverting and inverting morality.

My friend, morality is based on free will individuals making their moral choices according to their believes and passions, virtues and vices.
Always evil orcs is inverted Gygaxian morality of making mortal beings incapable of it.

And tieflings TBH never were EVIL race. From very beginning AFAIK they were sort of outcast race, that have some dark temptations caused by their ancestry, but were otherwise clearly moral agents.

Now making demons and angels - morally grey - that would be inversion because they are made from souls after their picked their sides. But mortals... NOPE.
If woke thinks they are subverting anything - well they are accidentally subverting stupid concept in name of better - free will. Broken clock two times a day

And if creators of this film gonna do it - we can justly scorn them for it.
But scorning them just for having diverse cast - in diverse gonzo fantasy land that is incoherent mix of everything from Ancient England to Victorian Egypt... is just turning into easily triggered mirror!wokes.

QuoteTL;DR: "Evil is cool; Good is boring." Their attempt at making 'sizzling' celestials gave us the 4E devas, who seem more inspired by a mixture of the Watchers from the Book of Enoch, the popular idea of 'angels who want to be human', and Indian concepts of eternal rebirth, based on the "Ecology of the Deva" in DRAGON #374.

TBH both 4e tieflings and devas were MEH. I like idea of unified planetouched template applied to various mortal races, and being generally social stigma - because you are by soul the same being as your mortal parents really, and signs of planar ancestry gives you mostly problems either because you're seen as tainted or as some token of holiness, when in fact you are Joe-Shmoe.

QuoteIDK, they already did a non-serious D&D film before and it blew. But LotR made D&Dish fantasy cool again. I'm not sure where this assumption that a D&D film can't be serious comes from, but it hasn't done it favors in the past.

Though, movie's already made, so it doesn't matter. This one looks better than what they've done before at least. And it's finally based on an actual D&D setting.

But is LOTR D&Dish? Old D&D was grimmer, and more pulpish, and Gygax was not big Tolkien fan (at least in game concept). NuD&D is superheroes in fantasy world.
Neither of those concepts fit with Tolkien really.

Arguably D&D film I'd like most would be mix of old and nu - Grim and Deadly, but also kinda tongue and cheek comedic story of amoral characters.
Tarantino Inglorious Bastards met Gunn Suicide Squad. In fact I'd totally hire Tarantino and Gunn as dual directors.

A "Planetouched" template would probably work best, including not just Demonic/Angelic origins, but also Elemental origins as well. But if they're going to take the atomized approach and treat all half-humanoid/half-[insert planar origin] characters as separate races, then include a specialized race of Half-Demons as a default race, they should also have included Half-Angels as well from the get go.

EDIT/PS: One problem with D&D's/WotC's approach to this is that they always seem to take the specialized approach to everything, not just races, but also classes. So that in 5e you end up with a bunch of specialized classes, then when it comes to working on the new concept of "subclasses/archetypes" they end up having to invent even more hyper-specialized versions for those already specialized classes, such as silly "half-dragon" Sorcerers or Storm Sorcerers (which could just as easily work as a wizard subclass as well), cuz they don't know what else to with an already specialized variant of what's essentially a wizard with spontaneous casting (which isn't even an exclusive sorcerer feature anymore, but they kept them around cuz apparently once something makes it to the core game they can never just get rid of it*).

*not the I mind the idea of playing a hawt Cha-based mage, but that's practically the only reason to play Sorcerer anymore.

"D&D" can be a broad range of things, even in the old days. What I mean by "D&Dish" is a style of fantasy that is similar to what would fit in the general tone of the range of things that D&D tries to evoke, including common elements such as Elves, Dwarves and Halflings.

That being said, though, while D&D has always included a broad range of possibilities, my impression has always been that default classic D&D is primarily (though, not exclusively) about heroic adventure in the "do-gooder" sense (not necessarily in the Greek mythology of godlike heroes, although there are elements of that as well). And that what the game primarily encourages is brave adventurers trying to defeat the forces of evil/chaos, with neutral/opportunistic characters being secondary, but also a possibility. Hence the emphasis on "alignment" that persisted till recent editions of D&D.

Yeah, I have noticed that the vilification of whites in the media is actually working. I have seen people spewing outright hate against whites, and giving examples of the "evils of whiteness" that I frankly suspect were not taken from real life, but from Hollywood. You'd be surprised how many people think that "POC" are really like those blue people in Avatar, who are so in touch with nature, and white people are of course that military industrial complex guy who wants to murder everyone, bulldoze the forest, and chop down the "Tree of Souls".

If he is a Harper then he could be modeled on Danilo from the "Elfshadow" novels. He is a very competent Harper who masks his identity behind a foppy and buffoonish facade - not unlike Chris Pine here. It would be a remarkable but totally coherent plot twist.

If that's how it plays out, I will post a public apology to the screenwriter on this forum.

(No offense, but I doubt this'll be the case. More duhversity casting and 'make the white guy look dumb-dumb' is more likely.)

We'll have to wait and see. But I'm somewhat optimistic. They've obviously done a good job rendering the iconic D&D monsters. Let's hope the same level of care extends to the screenwriting.

You might not be a white supremacist but you sure seem plenty racist. And don't even try and tell me Mexicans of Maya origin are not racist - I work with several, and you know I know there are plenty of racists in your part of the world. Often even more blatant than in America.

Are you actually trying to "white guilt" Mexicans now?

No, I am calling a racist a racist. No white guilt involved. Are you trying to argue only white people can be racist?

Holy cow, you are! And I'm sure your Mexican co-workers absolutely loooooove it when you try to "white guilt" them. What would be the conservative talking point? "Mexicans are the real racists?"

Good grief, there's so much "derp" in this thread!

Misty, quick! Call blacks "racist" next! At the very least, call the Chinese "racist" for rejecting this D&D train wreck....since the potential Chinese market for a D&D movie is HUGE. But if the Chinese mostly refuse to watch movies with blacks or various forms of racial mystery meat in them, then you can just label them as "white-adjacent" anyway....and thus, safely denigrate them as "racist".

Right?

You know what? Just start calling people "Nazis", Misty. We all know you want to.

Look, chief....I'll lay this out for you again. You cannot effectively shame people or "white guilt" people into consuming a corporate product. It doesn't work. It especially doesn't work when that Hasbro whistleblower revealed that the mega-corporation that controls the Dungeons & Dragons IP (in this case, Hasbro) is covertly trying to "social engineer" (brainwash) millions of people via neo-Marxist propaganda through branding and messaging. That's what CRT is for. The whistleblower was suspended for revealing this. What a surprise.

Misty, when you denigrate someone as a "racist", you're basically casting a spell. Not a D&D spell, but you're using weaponized language as a form of psychological warfare....in order to win arguments, and break people's spirit. It's a classic neo-Marxist SJW demoralization tactic, and it's not very nice. And even worse, you're doubling down on it, against those "filthy Mexican Nazi Mayan racists!" Misty, your "magic demoralization attack word" ("racist!!") is not working, and is making you look like an ethically disingenuous neo-Marxist asshole. My advice to you would be to stop doubling down.

Like I said before, the "derp" in this thread is nearly beyond belief.

Finally Mistwell has found the Mayan face of White Supremacy.
