Lots of cute little D&D-isms in this movie: during the final fight scene at the end there with the wizard, you'll notice that nobody attacks at the same time; everyone actually goes in a rotation order like you would in a regular d&d fight. I haven't timed it but it looks like the entire section is around 6 seconds of movement (the time it takes for everyone in a fight to get a turn in)
Bruh that scene were the paladin jumps straight down was so funny to me. Once in a high level campaign we were a top a platform out of the atmosphere and had to figure a way back. The paladin was like "wait so the max fall damage is 10d10? I can survive that, I just jump off". She just T posed as she went down like a freaking meteor and hit the ground just fine lmao
I also have a story like that, man was fighting a dragon and ended on his back, the dragon was shot down midair, and he just jumps off, landed with a saving and another thing that I don't remember, his damage role was also super low, ended receiving like 8 damage after falling from low orbit, the whole fucking party just burst in laughter about how ridiculous that was.
@@vijayanand6650 actually makes sense to cap falling damage, since you know, people and things have terminal velocity, if the guy is a fucking magic ninja makes sense that he can control his body to the limit and also reduce to the maximum the impact with the ground, 8 it's in fact ridiculous, but he was very luck and had two or three features helping him. Also i don't play d&d, but most RPG's systems have a cap,
Just realized when Holga and Edgin are about to be executed, that maybe Holga isn't asking about the ax just to buy time, she also needs to know if the guy keeps it sharp and strong enough to maybe cut through the brick
fun thing to note about this movie, this is pretty accurate to how actual D&D campaigns go... people do rediculous things, have wierd names, cause accidental shennanigans by doing something as simple as trying to cast a spell which may or may not cause them to become convicts or wanted criminals... also among D&D based movies, this is literally the best one.
Also the overpowered npc that leaves the fate of the realm in the player characters hands for no good reason is so hilarious to me. This movie truly feels like a fun DnD campaign I play with my friends
Also the mundane item that is suddenly identified as a magic item that could potentially save the game after one character does something stupid that could prevent any and all progress being made in the story (like accidentally destroying the only bridge across a chasm then suddenly discovering a "hither thither" staff moments later -- that's called a DM deux ex machina ... super real to actual gameplay).
@@crustybomb115 for a whole script that might be a little too off the rails, but I can clearly imagine that they half-play out individual situations and sequences and then build the script from there while moving around and editing parts to have a tighter narrative structure and for satisfyng plants and payoffs (like the little generate flame cantrip that is laughed off early in the movie but becomes essential with the dragon).
Actually, my running theory was that Xenk was played by a guest player with the DM having them play one of the NPCs during their time at the table. Someone ridiculously overpowered to help give the PCs a little nudge. One less thing for the DM to worry about in the game because we DMs have way too many plates going at times.
Simon is a wild magic sorcerer. That magic spin wheel thing is a representation of the best known mechanic of that class. Every time he casts a spell, there is a percentage chance that the spell goes wrong and, rather than failing, it becomes randomly uncontrollable. In the case at the tavern, he was trying cast a shield spell, and instead reversed gravity. Super fun mechanic, if at times frustrating. A character of mine died in a DnD session when a sorcerer who supposed to be casting Slow on an enemy made a bad roll and instead cast Fireball at me and the Cleric. The whole campaign sort of derailed from there.
Component pouch. When he really needs to make a spell work, he draws an associated component. But, between Wild Magic and stressful wrong drawing of components, he gets WAY different results than he expects. He doesn't seem to have a focus, so it's truly a representation of a raw talented Sorcerer.
I'm currently playing a Drow Wild Magic Soccerer. We made our own wild magic table, and it's so fun.. haven't killed anyone yet, but I did turn a goldfish into a houseplant.
@@tabbykat7611 Playing a lvl 16 Wild Magic sorcerer myself. Together with the Feywild Shard I can force a surge every time I use metamagic. And post lvl 14 it's almost impossible to get a bad result considering that the majority is either good or neutral.
@@jlinkous05 I thought it WAS an arcane focus. I never saw any components coming out of it, but it would spin to an associated spell slot depending on what spell he was casting.
The Hither-thither staff is, essentially, an item the DM improvised when the players screwed the puzzle so the story could progress, but because it was improvised is unbalanced and overpowered. 10/10 to the movie for replicating the truest DnD experience.
😂 they finally get a black Jesus and they don’t trust him lmfao 🤣 the optics are priceless please never change guys love the channel and I’m also subbed to the individual channels I got u director keep up being y’all
Ranger: Hank, Wizard: Presto, Barbarian: Bobby, Cavalier: Eric, Acrobat: Diana, Thief: Sheila. No clue where they stashed Uni, but if she'd been true to her own character, she would have appeared at just the right time to put herself in danger and make Bobby go ballistic.
This truly is one of the most fun movies to come out in the past couple years. If you're not a D&D player, it's a fun romp with some heartfelt moments. If you do play, it's a ton of relatable moments and fun easter eggs packed into a really fun film. I also feel like this is one of the most sincere films I've watched in a while. It never lampshaded itself or broke the 4th wall to wink at the audience.
So nice little touch with this film is Oath of Ancients Paladins stop aging and basically become immortal at high levels. That is a why Xenk hasn't died or even aged despite appearing to just be human.
@@WolfODonnelfan What? Are you sure we're talking about the same thing? I'm talking about when they're on the beach and he walks right over the big rock instead of going around it.
The crab turtles fighting over a lock are rust monsters, which magically feed on metals, turning them into rust. A very blink and you'll miss it monster. ;)
Love all the practical effects. When I saw they actually had a physical set up for that initial scene where they bring in the new prisoner, my hope for this movie shot up.
The movie is great. My favourite part? The dragon of course. I'm almost fragile looking but honestly...... that dragon could be my spirit animal. Why walk when you can slide? Why fly when you can...... well..... roll..... I guess..... That dragon is just a lot of fun.
15:19 those are called rust monsters, and they eat metal. The panther with the tentacles is called a displacer beast, they use illusions to distract both predators and prey alike, as we see in the movie, however it's always a pair of illusion beasts in gameplay rather than one at a time. The intellect devourers and gelatinous cube are pretty on point. Lastly, the fat dragon Themberchaud, which actually has a pretty interesting backstory that I recommend looking up on your own time. I could give the short version but I'd be giving it a terrible disservice if I did. Also classes: Holga: Barbarian (very strong berserker) Edgin: Bard. Interestingly, the lute is enchanted. Simon: Sorcerer (wizards study, sorcerers inherit and warlocks make deals). Wild Mage (magic that is extremely difficult to control. You can accidentally turn yourself into a potted plant while trying to cast Fireball if you are really unlucky). Doric: Druid. Very good at nature based magic. An interesting detail about Doric is that her development is covered in a prequel novel, hence why she goes through so little here. Xenk: Paladin (a melee focused character that has (usually) holy powers from their oath to a particular god or concept). Sofina: Wizard (when it comes to magic, Wizards study for it, sorcerers get it from bloodline, warlocks make deals). Not in the party: Ranger (tracking expert and really good archers) Fighter (melee jack of all trades) Monk (martial artist archetype) Rogue unless you count Forge or Kira as one (thieves, assassins, anything that can pick locks, disable traps and sneak around). Warlock (already established what makes them different from wizards and sorcerers twice) Artificer: inventor with magic. Cleric: healers, typically. But are really good against undead. Their spells are literally powered by faith, and are referred to as miracles.
@@davidshorb7453 "I'm a Bard, I don't need high Int or Wis!" "Barbarian. I put my highest in Str, Con and Dex." "Sorcerer. Charisma and Constitution." "Druid. Wisdom and Constitution." Even Xenk the Paladin DMPC with high Wis and Cha but low Int (doesn't get sarcasm, weirdly literal).
@@crustybomb115 Traditionally only Adult or older Metallic Dragons have the ability to change shape . Chromatic Dragons lack this ability simply because they are too arrogant to use it. Humanoids are so far beneath them that they would never dream of taking their form. But as all good DMs should know, the monster manual is just a suggestion and if they want their ancient red dragon to have the change shape ability then so be it.
Also draconic bloodline sorcerers are a thing, so yeah having dragon ancestors isn’t unheard of though in that specific case it doesn’t have to be actual dragon blood it could just be a boon granted an ancestor by a dragon or residual magic from an encounter with one.
They actually did do a campaign before filming and when writing they rolled dice to see outcomes so some of the things were literally the luck of a roll
"'Quiet, fish. Give me the baby.' FUCK him." I think this is an appropriate reaction to a paladin fish-whisperer. Real question for me is, why did that 'roided out trout understand Thayan, of all things?
Funfact (i learned this recently) alot of people in dnd are part halfling (human) cus halflings look like really short people so their genes are recessive in humans
With many spells you have to maintain concentration to keep the spell going. So when Simon's foot gets stuck the illusion gets weird. He was having to split his focus between maintaining his illusion of Edgin and trying to free himself. Once the illusion was busted he dropped it and was able to dedicate his full focus to freeing himself.
So good to see y'all react to it. Between this and vox machina, I feel like you would love to play the tabletop game. You mentionned baldur's gate 3. Have you played it? Btw, we can clearly see tat Director know his stuff about D&D. Kuddos to him!
It did fine. It's just Hollywood accounting that made it look like it lost money. This movie hasn't left the top 10 of streaming on any platform since it was released.
As much as that would have been hilarious to get an army of the dead, Speak with Dead doesn't work like that. They can only answer questions. You'd need Animate Dead for an undead army.
Simon isn't a Wizard.....he's a Sorcerer, where Wizards rely on study and intelligence to cast spells a Sorcerer relies on Willing Magic into existence through Charisma....
Ed rolls Charisma check *14* : that's not gonna do it. We go with plan 'throw Jarnathen out the window.' DM laughing to themself: that's actually enough
"they would have just watched this thing happen, like fools." "Right?" I think this was probably the worst editing decision in the film. They chose to edit it cutting back between the group's plan unfolding, and Sophina's spell completing, I can only assume to hold onto the tension as long as possible, but it just makes the team's plan look pointless and unnecessary. If the stadium can empty that quickly there was no real threat to begin with. Instead, I'd like to believe they intended it to focus on the groups plan unfolding, cut to Forge and the ship, revealing the portal, and cut to sofina in the aristocrats' room AFTER showing people leaving the stadium to chase treasure. This would deflate the tension, but would make the group's plan meaningful, and would have a more comedic beat to Sofina's realization that she's casting her epic spell she's spent years preparing for an empty stadium.
--- I recommend you to make a reaction to the following films: My Little Princess 2011 Look Away 2018 Brimstone 2016 Girl in the Basement 2021 Miss Violence 2013 Allure 2017 Hounddog 2007 Bastard Out of Carolina 1996
The brain frog part.... generally in AD&D the mage has the high intelligence... meaning simon is a terrible mage. Paladins are charisma and strength so thats why they didnt attack the paladin.
it's stated repeatedly that Simon is very specifically a sorcerer though, sorcerer's magic is Charisma based. So they have a sorcerer, a bard, a barbarian, a druid and a paladin, none of them have Intelligence as a main stat.
Just once I want to see a story where the hero sets out to revive a dead loved one and actually does so and is happy instead of coming to grips with grief and letting go or the revival goes poorly and the person is a zombie/monster.
@@nightflame69 the conclusions people jump to. So extreme. i wanna make it hard for the content id to recognize the video and claim. Thats the only goal. As a result i dont spend much time fighting copyrights My videos are for people who saw the movie and are focused on seeing how we react. But i know it’s not for everyone
you arent vinicated, literally the guy with the most negative outlook hates xank, go figure. haters. xank is the best guy with the most honor and has lived through hell and back.
I loved this movie it was such a fun ride. Its a shame it didnt do good at the box office and i would say its feminism done right, which is kinda crazy when a good example of it appears and the so called "feminists" are silent. The female lead doesn't fall in love with the MC, no pandering and making men useless and idiotic *ring of power flashbacks*. Both female Leads do most of the hand to hand fighting, the villain is a powerful female. It was great and a breathe of fresh air vs all this SJW pandering you see alot of in blockbuster movies.
If your existing patrons aren't making it more than 14% through videos, why would anyone be enticed to pay for patreon just to see what you don't put on youtube?
@@jwhite-1471 Ya I suppose my initial comment was half thought out. For me and I am sure others this MOvie is Easily Transparent in its Story almost very obvious what is gonna happen next. Being exposed to the similar plot points from movies and anime it was pretty boring for me. It felt like one of those 80's movies you just want to forget. The actors didnt do the movies justice, and I think more it needed more tragedy. Felt to much like this movie was for kids. This movie got placed for me Below Shizam which I thought was bad.
Forge is a really good villain. I was laughing the whole time this man is talking cause his just casually disrespecting everybody😂 But Jarnathan is my favorite character

I will not be complicit
in the illicit
use, of,
ILL, GOT----TEN BOOTY!
As much as that would have been hilarious to get an army of the dead, Speak with Dead doesn't work like that. They can only answer questions. You'd need Animate Dead for an undead army.
Best D&D movie made, it surprised me, thought they’d fuck it up like the others but it’s great
A 3 min unskippable advert. lol
Simon isn't a Wizard.....he's a Sorcerer, where Wizards rely on study and intelligence to cast spells a Sorcerer relies on Willing Magic into existence through Charisma....
All them niggas is the same to me. But i understand there is a technical difference lol.
I'm one of those people who actually did like the 2000 Dungeons & Dragons film. It wasn't a great movie but it had its moments.
There wasn't much dnd in that movie
It's okay that you have bad taste.
Girlie was thirsty for Rege aka Simon. 😂
34minutes: that is the correct reaction to a DM PC :P
I can imagine a group of players doing the very same things shown in this movie, especially the entire Jarnothan situation (pardon approval included).
Ed rolls Charisma check *14* : that's not gonna do it. We go with plan 'throw Jarnathen out the window.'
DM laughing to themself: that's actually enough
Your reaction was a fun view. You guys seem like really kind people.
Nobody saw Bradley Cooper as Marlemin the Halfling coming...
Not without looking at the cast beforehand.
"they would have just watched this thing happen, like fools." "Right?" I think this was probably the worst editing decision in the film. They chose to edit it cutting back between the group's plan unfolding, and Sophina's spell completing, I can only assume to hold onto the tension as long as possible, but it just makes the team's plan look pointless and unnecessary. If the stadium can empty that quickly there was no real threat to begin with. Instead, I'd like to believe they intended it to focus on the groups plan unfolding, cut to Forge and the ship, revealing the portal, and cut to sofina in the aristocrats' room AFTER showing people leaving the stadium to chase treasure. This would deflate the tension, but would make the group's plan meaningful, and would have a more comedic beat to Sofina's realization that she's casting her epic spell she's spent years preparing for an empty stadium.

I recommend you to make a reaction to the following films:
My Little Princess 2011
Look Away 2018
Brimstone 2016
Girl in the Basement 2021
Miss Violence 2013
Allure 2017
Hounddog 2007
Bastard Out of Carolina 1996
The brain frog part.... generally in AD&D the mage has the high intelligence... meaning simon is a terrible mage. Paladins are charisma and strength so thats why they didnt attack the paladin.
it's stated repeatedly that Simon is very specifically a sorcerer though, sorcerer's magic is Charisma based. So they have a sorcerer, a bard, a barbarian, a druid and a paladin, none of them have Intelligence as a main stat.
Good thing this is based on 5E instead, where the only classes Int isn’t a dump stat are Wizard and Artificer
Fun fact: The dwarf at 57:06 is Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine.
it made me so happy to hear you be like "Scanlans hand!" The spell is called Bigbys hand, but a critical role fan knows.... it's really scanlans!
Graveyard is best scene in film. Especially the second bloke
29:20 I really think that undead trolled then, just to return to sleep faster.
6:58 True. In D&D, resurrection spells only work when the deceased is not burned to ash or chopped to pieces.
True Resurrection does not require a body
1:08:04 don’t forget, monster reborn is limited to one per deck.
Thx for the reaction
wait do they not realize that vox machina is based of DnD !?
probably not...
Just once I want to see a story where the hero sets out to revive a dead loved one and actually does so and is happy instead of coming to grips with grief and letting go or the revival goes poorly and the person is a zombie/monster.
I'm sorry, don't know your names. Guy with the Senpai Squad shirt has a great voice! Reminds me of Anthony Anderson's voice.
Oops. I thought this was Dungeons & Dragons, but it's Dungeons & Dragons Honor Amongst Thieves.
simon is a wild magic sourcer, he's supposed to be chaotic. and sorcerer is different than wizard.
Bring back the one you want instead of the one your daughter needs. Very selfish.
Agreed nut not unreasonable to bring back your wife….
You guys seem like a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I had a really hard time hearing the movie dialogue.
Oh of course because we posted our dialogue about the movie. I assume people already saw the movie
The movie logo is in the way of watching the movie!
Correct we placed it there.
@@YaBoyRockLee so you want to make it hard for viewers to watch the movie?
@@nightflame69 the conclusions people jump to. So extreme. i wanna make it hard for the content id to recognize the video and claim. Thats the only goal. As a result i dont spend much time fighting copyrights
My videos are for people who saw the movie and are focused on seeing how we react.
But i know it’s not for everyone
28:49 ya nasty
you arent vinicated, literally the guy with the most negative outlook hates xank, go figure. haters. xank is the best guy with the most honor and has lived through hell and back.
Yeah, there was nothing "evil" about Xank, so he was far from vindicated. His reasoning for why he thought Xank was bad is pretty dumb lol.
I loved this movie it was such a fun ride. Its a shame it didnt do good at the box office and i would say its feminism done right, which is kinda crazy when a good example of it appears and the so called "feminists" are silent. The female lead doesn't fall in love with the MC, no pandering and making men useless and idiotic *ring of power flashbacks*. Both female Leads do most of the hand to hand fighting, the villain is a powerful female. It was great and a breathe of fresh air vs all this SJW pandering you see alot of in blockbuster movies.
Idiot says what?
0:45 "actually im VERY familiar with D&D'S" (wtf)
No, you are not.
I said “your actually” as I explained she has seen it and doesn’t realize she seen it…There’s no need to shut me down like that and also heard wrong
The Paladin is gay. He had that arrogant gay swish when the party approached him in the town where he saved the tabaxi kitten from the big fish.
If your existing patrons aren't making it more than 14% through videos, why would anyone be enticed to pay for patreon just to see what you don't put on youtube?
I guess to support us or watch their favorite parts. I dunno. I’m pretty grateful for them
Glad your liking the movie, since I watch alot of anime for me this Movie is Very Cringe.
Why would watching a lot of anime make this movie cringe for you? That's a non sequitar.
@@jwhite-1471 Ya I suppose my initial comment was half thought out. For me and I am sure others this MOvie is Easily Transparent in its Story almost very obvious what is gonna happen next. Being exposed to the similar plot points from movies and anime it was pretty boring for me. It felt like one of those 80's movies you just want to forget. The actors didnt do the movies justice, and I think more it needed more tragedy. Felt to much like this movie was for kids. This movie got placed for me Below Shizam which I thought was bad.
@@jwhite-1471 Yeah, clearly that person is an idiot.
@@narutosensei77 You make yourself sound dumber and dumber every time you say something lol.
Forge is a really good villain. I was laughing the whole time this man is talking cause his just casually disrespecting everybody😂 But Jarnathan is my favorite character
