I find it interesting that no other streaming service has been able to compete with HBO yet on sheer production values for fantasy. The writing and acting will determine if this is actually a good show. But from the trailer this just looks good in a way that Amazon or Netflix fantasy shows never do IMO.

I don't think I'm the only one to say some of the recent SW and Marvel content had some visuals that were below par. I don't know about Amazon but Netflix is getting better at this IMO. They need to focus more on quality than quantity and I believe that shift is happening. Don't Look Up was probably more VFX heavy than you'd think and the visuals were pretty solid. Same for Outside The Wire; not a great film but some pretty impressive production values. Not to mention Love Death Robots and Arcane. Squid Game looks a bit low-fi but it works perfectly for that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Dumb question: are there two actresses playing the same character in HoD? If so why? Alcock is only 8 years younger than D'Arcy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcock is only 8 years younger than D'Arcy For both Alicent and Rhaenyra, yes, there are younger versions. The reason is that the show is going to cover a decade and a half in the first year, and these actresses aren't really going to pull that off. In theory they could have D'Arcy and Cooke play their younger selves too, but it wouldn't be very convincing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was thinking too, when watching and comparing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dropped out of GoT after season 5 and yet seeing this, I'm actually casually optimistic about this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 So, this is a thing... Pine slumming it is like when Irons did it with the previous attempt to make a cinematic D&D film. The only joke that landed with me was the tag at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it seems they're embracing the silliness in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Gotta say I like that D&D trailer. Whether it'll come together into a good film remains, of course, to be seen, but there is an objective difference in the quality on display between that and the Jeremy Irons effort (probably because they hired directors who know what they're doing).

Heartofice Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Is there like a free library of special effects somewhere that people are using to just cobble together fantasy movies? Every single shot from that D&D movie looks like they just grabbed some CGI models from something else and built a movie around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veltigar Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 So apparently Ryan Reynolds decided to recreate Ted Lasso in real life... This is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
