Do people actually think like this?
Did the maker of the comic not realize that Toilken was a devote Christian and even based the Lord of the rings off of the Bible to an extent.
As a long time DM, the idea that I have any control over my players actions is LAUGHABLE.
The moon god
Funny story, C.S. Lewis is actually a prolific Christian author who used his medium to spread philosophy much closer to the teachings of Jesus than most churches do.. I'ma use that one fact to continue RPGs with no guilt whatsoever
BRUH I DONT THEY SOMEHOW MADE THEM MORE NERDY
I just took 30d12 psychic damage
every dnd campaign i've DMed has turned into the PCs adopting an eldritch abomination and turning it into a pet
The thing that makes me laugh the most about all the "dnd is demonic" stuff is that one of the most stereotyped campaign trope is the "group of heroes sent by the gods to stop the evil cult from summoning demons from the nine hells"....like swap gods with Jesus and the nine hells with regular hell and it's literally a Christian story
The fact that they literally use a lovecraft quote as the cult chant is just golden. She started roughly translating and I was like, "oh my that's where this is going?"
Not only do they constantly make fun of how religious zealots see D&D players, but there are references to classic role playing memes, skits, and tropes everywhere. They reference the Dead Alewives "attack the darkness" joke, they use a line directly from Mazes & Monsters when the teacher is talking to Debbie about her obsession with RPG's, and she uses the "may your rolls be ever natural" meme where rolling a 20 on a D20 is called a "natural 20" or "nat20" and causes your character to do the act they were rolling for with, ironically, unnatural prowess and effectiveness. There's even a reference to a previous film of theirs called The Gamers, where whenever someone mentioned the character "The Shadow," people would repeat it a couple of times. And these are only a few. It's so re-watchable. This whole movie is a love letter to D&D and the fact that they were able to fool Jack Chick into signing off on it before he died is even better. That's like getting your movie autographed.
This looks like a "Gamers" series parody. Wth. Loved that reference to Mazes and Monsters. "It's a far out game." "The Shadow? THE Shadow?! The Shadow."
hydration is important
I love how the comics make specific reference to Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, two CHRISTIAN WRITERS. Biblical themes are super obvious in their work, it's great. Gotta love fearmongering.
I could find a lot of resources but never the corebook for this "Christianity" TTRPG anyone know the name ?
So this is what happened to the ancestors in darkest dungeon...
Remember this intro? Good times
how the hell did every one at the rave play like people complain about dming for 8 people can you imagine dming for a whole rave and if not every one is playing do they just watch like can you imagine going to a session with friends and just watching random people play
The shadow thing is a running gag from their earlier films like the gamers
hey that soldier didn't have a rpg that's a U.S. rocker laucher
I wanted to see Jesus riding in with an actual RPG and a shotgun.
Huh, the whole scene with the book translation before the Cthulhu reveal is actually what sounds like a very poorly translated version of lovecraft’s “that which is not dead may eternal lie, and with time, even death may die” they did a good job making it sound like she was translating from some old language, nice touch
Cleric + Witch = Yeah that ain’t gonna work
I'm a Christian, but I agree that this movie is stupid. Playing dungeons and dragons is not going to summon freaking Cthulhu. It's people like this that give Christians a bad rep.
Jon come back
Damn, bro now I feel guilty about playing Paper Mario
6:50 THE GAY ENERGY
Throughout the movie they are playing that game wrong as they did not write there character sheets and they did not roll for spellcasting or damage.
Ironically in order to fear monger dnd they needed to build a giant giant satanic room with a huge pentagram and then play dnd
Me, a Jew that has played Dnd once in the 5th grade: Yeah
8:03 JON NO NOT THAT SOUND EFFECT
“I use magic missile to attack the darkness!” This movie was definitely a farce. That quote is lifted directly from a video on VIworld called Summoner Geeks. It’s a really funny video, and leads me to believe they weren’t being serious with this production. The more you know! Also, “didn’t you learn Arabic to convert the muslims? Because they didn’t realize they were worshipping the Moon God?”
Good God I love Dead Gentlemen Productions
I was just waiting for the moment where John dresses up as the cultists at the beginning.
I came here after I randomly got the "dead gauntlet" clip recommended to me, just how to see how it fit within the context, But, I still can't see how it really fits in........
VIworld randomly recommended a 7 second clip of " over my dead gaunlet" so I had to watch this to get some context, I was 5 minutes in before I realised it was as actual movie he reviewed, and not something he had made himself
So that's where these friggen comic books come from. My Mom has a literal drawer full of them and hands them out at Halloween.
Funniest part of the church scene is that the chronicles of narnia are based off of the biblical story
Wait till they realize Gary started out by role-playing Bible stories
the hypocrisy and just irony of this movie/comic series is astounding lmao. "RPGers maim and poison and kill!" just like the people in the fucking bible do. "come to hell everyone you love is here and having a party for eternity" just like in heaven. the people they fear monger are too stupid to see that its the same shit. im hoping the movie was made as like a troll, like how we like good bad movies and the makers usually think its legit love for their movie when its not, its the love of making fun of it. i can't decide my fav part in the movie, its all soo good. i really like when they depict the RPGers as cool and badass. its like they never were picked on in school or saw someone else get picked on for liking nerdy shit like that. i just can't believe there are people out there that actually believe this shit is true. oh and how fucking rude was it when ms frost just gave them characters??? you let the player make the character, get ONE thing right about D&D movie. i guess they do with dice. i dunno why they think D&D is played like 1 on 1,how the fuck and why the fuck would you have a group of people just to do that? your group is gunna be just 1 person soon enough that way because 1 always dies and they have to leave the group lmao. who would join a group of people that do that? "oh yeah once you die you have to leave the group,mandatory" oh and those C.S Lewis books? christian as fuck but they're evil lets burn em lmao. its why i couldn't finish the whole series, it was too clean for my liking and i was 11 or so. moved my ass to forgotten realms books. now i miss reading, god damnit jontron.
Why is Christian media always objectively the worst, most cringe thing imaginable
Actually the Narnia series made by CS Lewis is based off the Bible
For a second I thought “there’s no way she has magic missile as a cleric.” But then I remembered the Arcana domain existed
Pastor: “Jesus set us free from the bondage of witchcraft” Me: so your telling me that Jesus is the reason I’m not in Hogwarts right now?
Jon: a cult classic Chick: I KNEW IT
Jon is on crack
The guy said the best rpging in 15 years. Since they’re in college, that means he first played rpg games since he was 4-7.
How are JRR Tolkien books Satanic? He was literally a Christian! Plus, LOTR is a pretty dang good series if I do say so myself
This is not an accurate representation of dungeons and dragons
13:15 "Check out my highscore on Flappy Bird" gets me everytime
The fact they put in the line where they mentioned converting Muslims is how you know the people who made this were extremist Christians. And not the funny kind
Was Debbie channeling Todd Howard to protect her from Satan?
Clerics are literally supposed to people of god right? If you want to convince people that they should leave god then why do they give them another god to worship
C.s. Lewis was a Christian author though?
Wait so are all those people in on the RPG conspiracy or are there a few people at that party that are just like “I think D&D is fun.” ... also what counts as an RPG? Because children playing Cops and Robbers is technically an RPG.
As a Christian who has seen many Atheists online, they’re actually pretty nice lmao.
17:22 Sayori NO NOT AGAIN!
12:07 Well that book has: lies, deception, rewriting islamic scriptures to christian scriptures, claiming it's the word of God when half of it is, and the other is b.s. look I'm a muslim, and to see Allah being challenged by these people amazes mem
“And don’t just throw them away... burn them“ along with all of your other science and sensible books 😂
Out of the pot in the frying pan 😂 switch one cult for another . But I don’t consider a bunch of nerds hanging out at Books A Million rolling dice as a “cult“ But they went to far when they took my rock music 😂
I mean technically if dungeon and dragons is going to ruin my life… I’d rather just get high and ruin my life with drugs 😂 Literally what I did… Since everything was equated to evil I just chose hard drugs as a teenager. At least they gave me a real “kick“
Please make more of these so I can keep showing them to my aging mother. (against her will) she’s an extremist southern conservative, And taught me all of this bullshit my whole life.
The should make a warhammer movie but not a real one. Make a movie about people playing it like this
Imagine being scared of dungeons and dragons lmfao. They are right about the one world gvmnt thing tho. But...,apparently ppl are so scared of it, they will literally kill themselves for no reason.
Back when I was in high school We had a lady try to tell our youth pastor that he should be teaching us using this guys methods and even demanded that he should have us watch dark dungeons but our youth pastor (who played dnd himself) was like no this stuff is bat shit insane
What kind of deck would satan use if he played magic the gathering
40 copies of relentless rats and 20 swamps..........
Probably some sadistic control thing where the only wincon is decking the other guy out slowly over like 40+ turns.
Bruh. C. S. Lewis wrote so much more than fiction and he did so much for the Christian landscape. Even if you honestly believe that fantasy books are “evil” you can’t just say that his writings should be burned.
This shit is making fun of religions wtf
I mean people who believe in that type of shit are literally insane.. sooo
When C.S.Lewis and J.R.R. tolkien wrote their books as christian metaphorical pieces
My favorite part of this video is the guy at the beginning adjusting his hood with the metal ring thing. It’s just so perfect.
14:35 ooh yikes
What really gets me is that, out of all things to get a FAITHFUL movie adaptation, it had to be a pile of wet garbage like this!
Dunno man, I personally think "Marcy, get out of here! You're dead! You don't exist anymore!" was gold.
okay I don't wanna sound like a nerd but first of all, Tiamat is a six-headed dragon and a woman, not some goddamn Skyrim character
Toats
"Evil without end is about to descend upon the works of man" is now my go to answer to "what's up?"
4:08 *Jon rolls an 11 and deals 200 damage critical* I have several questions: 1) How did you deal 200 damage? What kind of level 20 character do you have where a single roll can mean you deal 200 damage? 2) How is an 11 a critical hit? Granted, there are abilities that lower crit requirements, but that's down to, at the lowest, an 18, I believe. 3) If it's a spell (which is the most likely possibility), why are you rolling? Because spells that could theoretically deal 200 damage require saving throws, not attack rolls. I'm getting too pedantic, aren't I?
conservative christians and their constant shunning of anything that doesn't conform with their concept of correct have honestly just made me want to be satanic harder, just to spite them
Amen
9:10 Psycho Mantis?
Jesus christ, this came out 4 years ago.
9:01 Ahhhh yes the most fun activity in the world... watching overs play dnd Famous ones excluded like critical role and NADDPOD
How much of an insecure manchild does God have to be to feel threatened by an RPG
@deathsagaXX I refuse believe in an unproovable concept like a god
Uhh, not real perhaps?
This movie is so bad, rpgs are cool and evil and Jesus is the answer
I'll stick to provable concepts thanks
7:58 had me laughing so hard
I'm a Christian. I am sorry that someone felt this movie was considered
Can some one make a meme template of jon saying motherfucker I was born ready and whipping out the rpg?
Favorite episode
*decided * to be homosexual
one of the funniest john videos made
So.. Is the scene where the two main characters are about to enter the party hinting that one of them is gay? You know, one of the sins established in the movie?
“as outdated as the beliefs presented in this film” that line is pure fuckin gold
That wasn't even Arabic, HahahahhahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, bobity babity pooo, HAHAHAHhhahhhhahhahhhaaaah. I am DEAD bro. I respect how Jon raised his hands and said "i am not even going near that".
im arabic and I didn't urdestand a thing
Christian here...yeah, no.
I am not disapointed
10:08 I'm attacking the darkness!
when the movie star i didnt realice that it wasnt the skech anymore jajaajj
Okay, this whole movie has *got* to be a parody. A sneaky parody made to make fun of just how silly these christian beliefs can be
@cholland67 jontron didn't make this movie, he just reviewed it
It IS a parody check out who made this and their other videos. How anyone can mistake this for being serious I don't know
Well considering the person who created the graphic novel was a devout Christian and this movie is extremely faithful to the source material, I'm afraid it's not.
There's not a single Christian belief represented here until the name of Jesus is mentioned. And yes, he can set you free from sin, but that's about as accurate as they made anything in this movie.
I play Dnd as a hobby and I can confirm that Dark Dungeons has zero percent accuracy in depicting the people that play TTRPG's.
Pizza flavored pringles are actually really good
I didn't realize this was a review. I always thouggt this was just one big game ad. This feels like a new JonTron video!
