I think we can go ahead and officially declare this movie the most underrated film of the year. I mean this scene alone makes it worthy of more credit.
I don't know a lot about D&D, but this scene made me think of a new saying, "Beware the fat dragon, smart enought to kill with as little effort as possible."
The Rule of Parsimony. The best programmers are the laziest, they automate as much as possible. Likewise the best generals prevent the necessity of future battles, instead of boasting about a high number of victories. This also implies a fat predatory in the wild is especially dangerous.
Well he’s an official character from the lore; Themberchaud, he’s fat because he was used as a portable forge slave by the dwarves and deliberately overfed so he couldn’t escape and would be easier to kill when he got too big to be kept safely.
@@tenyearsinthejoint1 A gross overgeneralization. By your logic the same could be said of elves. The truth is that there is much more nuance to both. A bad thing done by some of one race does not make them all bad.
When you have that one friend who's really into D&D, busts out all the books, knows all the rules, utilizing his turn to the fullest. All the while you're just waiting for your turn XD
@@Grintock DMPC paladin, probably at least level 11 so he can get natural smite damage without spending spells thus the nonstop magical goodness. This also gets him 2 attacks per turn in addition to the additional one for dual wielding (lack of damage bonus is mitigated by the paladin smit), saving throws out the butt and probably some crown powers that force everyone to target him. Essentially... he's a tricked out DMPC to deal with the obvious cinematic moment.
Little funfact, the duergar (the dwarfs of the underdark) produce these dragons for their forges by overfeeding them so they can't move really. And if they get too big they kill them and start over.
In the game Themberchaud is actually stronger than most red dragons, his only weakness is that he cannot fly that well, but in any other aspect he excels
4:10 This Looks exactly like the Scene in Jurassic Park where Lex breaks through the vent during the escape from the Velociraptors! That my Favourite Scene in D&D!
This reminds me of the dragon empress in the D&D webcomic Order of the Stick. She is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and since she heard that the bigger a dragon gets the more powerful it becomes, she is overeating to get bigger. :) Ep 719 and 754 feature her particularly.
@@Hypersaiyanike I was thinking more about the falling rocks and the massive amount of seawater that'd pour into the cave, as far as I'm aware dragon can't breathe underwater.
Can confirm as my players have a black dragon that they think is their friend that has tried to eat them twice and yet they still gave it access to a magic cave and feed it
"That is one chonky boi." The very first thing I said out loud seeing that. Still doesn't make sense to me how a dragon can get so overweight. There's hardly anything to eat down there.
Basically the Duergar (Dwarves that live in the Underdark) train young red dragons to be the heat source for their forges. They over feed the dragons so they become dependent on the duergar. However this isn't really healthy for the dragons so they soon become overweight and mostly immobile. However these are still dragons so when they grow large enough to pose a possible problem they're killed and the process is started again.
I went to the cinema with my girlfriend to a sneak preview without knowledge which movie will be shown. You can imagine how happy we were as we found out it is the D&D Movie. Especially because we wanted to watch it either way.
@@zuttoaragi8349 Watch the first movie again, there's a scene where the group of survivors is being chased by two raptors while sneaking in the air vents. One of them pops his head out a ceiling tile from below, is kicked back down by one of the protagonists, and tries to jump back to the air vent and chomp the girl's leg off. It is almost 1:1 the same animation that is used in this scene with the dragon x)
Most underrated movie of 2023.. Watched it today, and I really really enjoyed the movie.. Why didn't I watch it in theatres?? Noone told me movie was this good!!
To me a fat dragon is Alligator/ Crocodile rules. The fatter they are the more dangerous they are. A regular Croc or Gator Igor be scary but you don’t want to mess with one that managed to get a lot of meat on their bones.
One can hear the dungeon master describing how the fat dragon almost gets you BUT - as you roll just a critical hit - it stumbles over his own fat claws.
remeber kids. being *more determined* helps you fight better and studies show its 87% more efficiant than *anime anger* (product notice: these statistics do not count for 'the majik child/elderly/hermit' and only applies to 'protagonist' please ask your potion dealer if you are a BBEG or not)
Ill never understand why they would run away while still being in the line of sight of the dragon instead of running sideways while it slides down uncontrollably
For all the great things about this movie, its easy to forget that it actually had some pretty decent fight choreography. Not nessiarily mind blowing, but clear, easy to follow, and creative.
i love how the paladin killing these dudes literaly leads to nothing and leaves us at the exact same point where we were befor it started. they just as well could have turned heel and run away from the start if they wait untill the dead are undead again anyway... xD
i like how he has dragon erectile disfunction in that hes too fat and unhealthy to actually use his fire breath cause he can't light a spark strong enough to create fire nor can he seem to sustain the gas part for very long lol

A bit too much dexterity for a stereotypical paladin though
“So what did you do? Did you beat the dragon”
“No we fled”
“So you ran away”
“No more like a brisk jog”
"I believe the word you are looking for is "tactical retreat"."
Red dragons are tough as hell. Even the most experienced dragon hunters are hesitant to take on a red dragon.
The way I see it, it wanted to eat us and failed to even kill us.
I call that a win.

We can all agree on that, best film of the year
tend to happen when the producer have dual goal in mind, appeal to young gens + stay based/true to the roots
I think it is not underrated... The critics are mostly positive. But it may had deserve more people watching it on cinema... 🫠
I just wish this film wasn't sandwhiched between John Wick 4 and the Mario movie. Doing that just really frickin' hurt its theater performance.
That's true best dungeon of dragon movie so far
3:05 those little bites he does while fat sliding is freaking adorable.
I think it was still chewing on the last guy.
He looks like a big dragon pac man!
Fun Fact: Themberchaud (the fat dragon) like some of the characters in this movie is an actual character in dungeons And Dragons outside of the film.
Out of the Abyss campaign specifically.
@@independentCog yep and has a surprisingly tragic backstory especially if the PCs play out his quest thread against him.
Also Szass Tam and Lord Neverember (the family at least; the Neverember we see in the film isn't even given a first name iirc).
I think our party had to negotiate with Themberchonk- I mean Themberchaud.... once.
Is it fat and dumb like that?
I don't know a lot about D&D, but this scene made me think of a new saying, "Beware the fat dragon, smart enought to kill with as little effort as possible."

Can't imagine the food bills, though
He’s still obese in real dnd lore though. So obese, that his own wings can’t carry his weight. He can’t fly.
