I'm not that old (but I'm not a spring chicken either). My 36th birthday happened in January, but that didn't mean I was over the hill, but I was wrong when I was reading a comic book to my kids last month, so I was on my back. It hurts. My time on this planet is filled with many cultural changes (both good and bad). But the most surprising was the prevalence of nerd culture. I've seen it happen in real time, but still can't wrap my head around. Now you can read comic books almost anywhere, without fear of being costed, but that wasn't necessarily the case. My high school days were spent defending my superman comics behind my history books. The sneakers and jeers that I received from fellow students often revolved around my “strangeness.” It enjoys graphic novels. The downplay of paneled pages has led me to the world of working as I read comics on my work breaks and am constantly about to be interrupted as if I hadn't done anything. Still, the comic lost its stigma thanks to its success in other media. The growing popularity of Dungeons & Dragons caught me completely off guard. I wasn't alive during the stannic panic around dungeons and dragons in the 70s and 80s, but there was a science teacher who regurgitated the same nonsense in the early 2000s. Science teacher! He should know better! I was part of the after-school group and tried to play, but the stigma of the game was so strong that I lost a member after the first meetup and the group was cancelled after just a few sessions. It was extremely difficult to find someone to play with until I got to high school, and yet we didn't talk about it. Allowing to play D&D was a social death sentence. Ah, how have times changed? I haven't broken any new ground here. D&D has been popular among the public for over a decade. The game is not only acceptable, but also popular as hell. The new film was released more than 20 years later, after an ab attack in an attempt to make it on the big screen. People liked it! Although it didn't burn at the box office, critics and audiences adored the entertaining films so that they seemed to push the cultural change even further. Now the franchise is taking the next logical step with its progressively popular streaming show! Shawn Levy, the success of Deadpool Ampersand Wolverine, has been hot with Deadline author and showrunner Drew Crevello, who will create a live-action television adaptation of Netflix's popular game. This is another major step in streaming attempts to corner the fantasy market. So they need to use something very popular that people willing to admit that they like, and it's obviously a dungeon & dragon. Who slammed it? ! People may be watching the show on their phones on the bus without worrying about what will be thrown at them! dream! Maybe this news isn't too shocking to others, but it feels like a point where you don't have to go home. Netflix has undoubtedly helped make Dungeons & Dragons more “mainstream” by including it in Stranger Things, but this next step feels even greater. They look at the popular ones for those sweet sweet subscriptions and take advantage of it. The nerd is currently in charge (better, even worse). Take it, Broder! Warn someone else about the dangers of Satanism!
