The Dungeons & Dragons movie directors address a cute cameo with fatal consequences
The matter lies before us: halfling or gnome?
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is in theaters March 31, and the big-screen epic tale has, thus far, been met with very positive reviews. Over at GameSpot sister site Metacritic, the movie is sitting pretty with a score of 71 and that had to be thanks, in some small part, to the fact that this is a film that is approachable for everyone, whether you’ve mounted your own D&D campaign or not.
When it comes to a property with such deep lore over several decades, properly capturing it in a way that appeals to longtime fans is daunting. However, according to the film’s writers and directors, Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, that wasn’t even the hard part. Instead, it was finding a way of explaining everything to people with no knowledge of D&D that was the real hurdle.
“[That was the] bigger challenge even than appealing to the fans, because we knew we had the material with the lore and the 50 years of history behind us to really give players of the game something that they will appreciate,” Daly explained to GameSpot. “The bigger challenge was to give something to the people who have absolutely nothing to do with Dungeons & Dragons–or know nothing about it–a movie that they will also enjoy. And what I would say is, you know, we were very authentic. Everything–every spell that you see–is accurate, is true-to-life authentic. All of our creatures, or monsters or environments are all part of the lore. But again, you do not have to know anything about that for it to work.”
Summer is quickly approaching but one woman is not swayed by the warmer weather to lose weight.
Instead, she wanted to remind women that they’re perfect the way they are.
Heather Moradeyo (@heatherdeyoooo), a mental health influencer, shared the body-positive video with over 250,000 TikTok followers.
As she pulled over clothes, she wanted to remind people not to be discouraged by the warmer season to feel like they needed to change themselves.
“Summer is around the corner and so are the weight loss ads,” she said.
“Here to remind you that this is what a 99kg body looks like. UK size 14. Double DDs,” she added.
“You’re perfect no matter where you are on your journey.”
Even with the try-on video, she was intentional with her choices.
“I wore white underwear to highlight my fupa,” she said.
“Something we’re told to do the opposite of,” she said, adding the hashtag #bodypositivity.
People took to the comments to thank her for the reminder.
“Weight looks different on everyone, we’re all beautiful and worthy!” said one commenter.
“No need to change anything! Thank you, Heather your vids always make me feel seen.”
“I wish I looked this good when I was 99kg,” said another.
