Week 19

I found out, when I first started thinking about this idea for my Research Paper, that not only does Jon Favreau love D&D, he also has said that he credits his D&D playing with developing his world building, creative and improvisation skills. Which is great! I have now also found many other people involved in the Film/TV Creative Industry who are big fans of D&D. Stephen Colbert is a big fan. I found a video of him playing a game for charity with Matthew Mercer. Also the Russo Brothers (Joe and Anthony) who directed Avengers: Infinity and Endgame are keen. I found two great quotes from them which I will use. Joe said “…a really good exercise for your imagination, that’s why we love it” and Anthony added “Yeah and who could resist unconventionally sided dice?”. I have several other quotes from people but my favourite, which I plan on using as my last line in my Research Paper is another from Joe Russo – “If you want to make movies, go play D&D” which I think will be a great ending, confirming my Thesis Statement as correct in a humorous and entertaining way.
