Even the MCU seems to be treading water - looks like Stark may have snapped the life out of it along with Thanos.
A lot of the criticism of post-Endgame Marvel is less about the money and more about how directionless it feels. (That's actually how I took "treading water", but maybe I'm wrong).I think that people are confusing the outsized performance of the Avengers movies with the more regular performance of the other Marvel movies.
And yet they keep booking him at European film festivals!He had an affair with his girlfriend's daughter, who at the time was his apprentice. Among other incredibly icky things.
I think you could do a dungeon crawl in a film or TV show, but it'd need to either be Indiana Jones (which spreads out its dungeon crawls to only a small portion of each movie) or something scary like The Descent. But it probably shouldn't be the entirety of a film or especially a TV season.
A great one, too.Dave Made a Maze is absolutely a movie about a dungeon crawl:
I think WotC's best IP and story properties are the ones already seeing use: the villains. Demogorgon, MInd Flayers, and Vecna get name-dropped in Stranger Things (which I hope does not create confusion in audiences if we see them for real in a film or TV show sometime). The Red Wizards of Thay and Szass Tam are showing up in Honor Among Thieves. Unused as yet, but surely Strahd counts for something here.
After the villains, it's the places. The Realms, Eberron, Krynn, Ravenloft, Greyhawk have an essence about them that transcends any particular characters. And by places, I include famous dungeons here too: the Tomb of Horrors, the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, the Temple of Elemental Evil, the Ruins of Undermountain, etc., are wonderfully evocative names (even if the actual dungeons behind them are not always that great) that could be used. And let me say also that even a great dungeon would not necessarily make for a great film. IMO, dungeon crawling could be a tedious thing to watch. It needs to hit just the highlights in a show or movie; the Five Room Dungeon concept might be apt in this context.
The reincarnated love isn't actually part of Dracula's story but Francis Ford Coppola inserted it into his Dracula movie so, yeah, it'd look like a swipe from that, rather than potentially being the other way around.Take it for what you will, but Strahd would be an awful choice for a movie. Besides being a direct ripoff of Dracula, the number of tropes would just never be accepted by modern audiences.
