Dungeons & Dragons is getting a live-action TV show, and two special characters are a surefire way to imbue it with the comedy it needs. The Dungeons & Dragons movies from the 2000s didn't have a great sense of humor, and they suffered for it, whereas Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves nailed comedy. The 2023 movie was hilarious and a hit with fans and critics, despite its disappointing box office returns. The D&D show in development for Netflix could compare by bringing in two key D&D characters.
