How the D&D Movie Nails the Found Family Trope, by juliadelbel
— on which the movie is based — it follows a group of fantasy creatures as they go on a quest of some sort. If this sounds like it has all the makings of an adventure story starring an array of characters who come together after leading all different lives, that’s because it often does. This is something that definitely carries forward into the movie, asdoes the “found family” trope better than pretty much any other blockbuster in recent memory.
When Simon needs to master the power of the Helm of Disjunction, he sees a vision of one of his ancestors telling him he’ll never be able to do so and spends hours upon hours trying to prove him otherwise. It’s only when he stands up for himself and attacks said ancestor that he is able to take control of the helmet. It’s noteworthy that while his biological family member is telling him he can’t do it, it’s Edgin who is encouraging him to keep trying.
Holga doesn’t want to see her ex, but it becomes necessary when the group has to go to her homeland to do an errand as part of the mission. She ends up having a nice conversation with him, during which he shares his hopes that even though things didn’t work out between them, she will find the family she deserves. Edgin isn’t able to have a similar talk with his late wife, but manages to let go and move forward in a major moment at the end of the film.
