Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Directors Discuss Owlbear Controversy
During a recent interview with IGN, Jonathan Goldstein directly addressed the controversy and explained why they made the decision to let Doric turn into an owlbear. “We’re aware that there was a certain amount of controversy that emerged in the D&D fan community after the first trailer showed our Druid wild-shaping into an owlbear,” Goldstein said. “And it was something we discussed a great deal when we were writing it. We know that technically, it’s not permissible, but we subscribe to the “Rule of Cool.” And we felt that if we, as the dungeon masters of this movie, would let our players do this, then why should we deprive the audience of something that’s as cool and fun as this?”
