Yeah the pr around this film has been a trainwreck. The writers said in an interview they like to emasculate men. Which obviously set off a load of the right wing anti woke phalanx.
None mentioned that they went onto say, not in a woke way. Just they didn't want the male lead to be a rambo type. That they should have growth in the film to become the hero.
Then you have the whole uprising against dnd from their own fans. As hasbro decided they wanted to end the open licence. Previously you could create your own content, youtube vids, games etc... based on dnd and you wouldn't have to pay them. With critical role, pathfinder etc... makeing cartoons, tv shows, video games, they're making more money from dnd than hasbro. So they tried to reverse it. Which didn't go down well.
But it's meant to be a really fun film. It's a pity. Would like something other than just superhero films.
