That part about not giving writers input being the right move has to be by far the most autistic and stupid thing I've ever seen Dobson write (well, reblog in this case). Jesus.

Good writing. Decent characters. Lack of tokenism. At least passable acting. A movie strong enough that it doesn't require a namechange and a wave of shills shitting on the next family movie coming out to try and save it.

Really no matter how you look at it Dobson’s “plan” was dumb.
And this D&D story lines up with the cadence of his past life stories. Namely the way he’s clearly oblivious to everyone else and has no fucking clue what he’s talking about. Compare it to how he recounts the secret shopper commission- a story known to be true - and how he tells this. It has the same marker of Dobson not noticing that the events weren’t going how he thought they were.
Isn’t True Resurrection the only spell that doesn’t require a body though? Revivify, Resurrection, and Raise Dead all specify “you touch a creature” implying you need most of the body for the spell to work, and True Resurrection doesn’t require any material components belonging to the party.

I dunno, Dobson’s a lot of things but he’s never been in the habit of making up stories from scratch. Misinterpretating the situation, back pedaling, or opening his fat pie hole to spout ignorance are more up his alley.

Dobson can’t even manage to create a comic story without ripping something infinitely more popular off, so you really think he could fake a D&D campaign?

Yes, but it requires a spellcaster to be level 17 or higher (in a game where the level cap is 20) and a literal fortune in diamonds (25,000gp, or enough to buy a manor house and an estate to go with it). Dobbo could not meet either of those requirements (based on what he said, his PC was about level 1-3).

It's been a couple of editions since I played but as I recall bringing back the dead in Ravenloft was a somewhat more risky process than usual, a lot of ways it can go pet cemetary on you.
It's plausable to suggest Dobson was sincere in his ressurection spell and just didnt know the rules very well.

It's just the most Dobson thing possible for him to be in a D&D group and immediately cast himself in a role where he can act like a dick and then deus ex machina at the last moment to become a savior.

Like I said, it sounds to me like he was intending to save gold until he reached a high enough level to cast Raise Dead, but even with the spell description literally in front of him didn’t realize that 1) you need the body to cast it no ifs ands or buts, extracting a tooth doesn’t do shit, and 2) The spell only works on a creature that’s been dead no longer than 10 days. Unless you can reach the required level that fast in Curse of Strahd, then his plan is dead on arrival.
I don’t doubt that he did intend to cast some flavor of resurrection, but I do absolutely question his reading comprehension since according to Dobson himself he was reading off a spell card, which would’ve had all the information that should’ve told him that pulling out a tooth wouldn’t do shit, or that by the time he reached the necessary level either it would be too late or the player would’ve moved on to a new character. Or he’ll, he could’ve saved himself a lot of trouble by just declaring his intent with his party in order to workshop the idea, but elected not to do that because he built it up in his head that he was going to pull this awesome gambit that would surprise everyone and be praised for his plan and skills.
Again, the big loss is that we don’t get to hear how Dobson would’ve reacted when he would’ve inevitably pulled out this tooth and announced that he was going to cast Raise Dead on it, followed by an awkward pause before the DM or another player explained that that’s not how the spell works.

This is getting even more hilarious, when you consider that by hording loot, he essentially gimped the rest of his group out of money needed to do get better gear and thus improve their chances of success.
Even -if- his plan would work and he'd somehow be able to resurrect the character (and ignoring that the player most likely would have a new one already), his great strategy would still revolve around starving the other players off from resources in order to impress them with his great plan. So yeah, even if it did work out, he'd still cause problems for the other members and undermine any trust they might have in his character, since he was pretty much taking advantage of the group by looting stuff for himself.

We can also add to the pile that Curse of Shtrad doesnt really throw a lot loot or gear on the players until some big encounters and the final battle with Mr.Vampire, so they will have to make due with what they can get their hands on, cause theyll be facing all matters of undead and even Shtrad himself on sevetal encounters.
I think the big problem with this discussion is that it assumes Dobson joined a regular D&D group, so there was a competent DM at the helm. Given that Dobson is Dobson, it's much more likely that when he was whining about wanting to play D&D a couple of years ago, a few of his asspatters reached out to him and they set up a game online. It's very likely the guy who was DMing wasn't very experienced, but got the position because he was the only person among them who'd played through the campaign before. He probably played very fast and loose with the rules, which is why Dobson was able to pull this shit.
The fact that the group fell apart after a few sessions lends credit to the idea that they were just a thrown-together group who didn't realize the commitment involved.

Dobson must be lurking that “bold of male reviewers” post because we’re back at it.

That’s definitely a fair assessment, although I’d assume that even a noob DM would know how to read. And that’s assuming Dobson elaborated what he was doing to the DM. From the sounds of it Dobson was just like "I ripped a tooth out of this corpse" with no explanation so any DM would be left to go "uhhhh okay" regardless.
Unless someone finds the group in question, we’ll never know how the DM or party would’ve reacted to Dobson’s endgame.

All those kinds of book-movies as a general rule wouldn't interest men. From Little Women to Jane Eyre to Pride and Prejudice, that's all chick stuff. People who would be attracted to those movies would most likely already have read the books and will compare them in that fashion. I've never heard of a fan of Little Women etc EVER rely on ANY movie reviewer, straight cis white male or not, when deciding on picking a movie to watch, they'll be like all "OH another Little Women movie, imma watch that". Hell, I stopped listening to movie reviewers, PERIOD, when the reviews panned the first Austin Powers movie, then I actually SAW it (not in theaters, but rather on TV or VHS rental) and was like pffft reviewers, whatever. I have no fucking clue why dobson places such importance upon movie reviewers (other than like, the youtube "pals" he has like Moviebob and Lindsay Ellis and all those, because he thinks he can be their friends).
There are some more replies in that thread:

Dobson reblogs this stuff. Loki is a Norse Deity who can be anything he wants and who once transformed (Norse Myth canon) into a mare to distract some guy's stallion so he wouldn't get a job done on time and ended up pregnant with an 8-legged horse that could run on air or water as well as land (does this make Loki a Horse Otherkin lol) and IIRC Loki had to STAY in horse form WHILE pregnant, the whole damn time (what TV Tropes would call Shapeshifter Mode Lock). Oh and he also transformed into a giantess and didn't like Baldur one bit so he refused to shed a tear that would have won Baldur's release from the land of the Dead, but this doesn't mean Loki is "genderfluid" or whatever, because underlying all that he was, well, Loki - everything else was a disguise even if it was anatomically correct and functioned like the real thing. I can't remember whether the other Norse gods were any good at Shapeshifting, but Loki was inarguably the best at it:
Same thread but just pointing out this is Marvel Comics being "woke" about a literal shapeshifter TRICKSTER-god:
Just by the way, I find this whole thing hilarious, because the God of the Jews and Christians told us His Pronouns (He/Him/His) by example and we still got some idiots not respecting Jehovah's pronouns lol.

Even if we ignore Norse mythology completely and focus only on the Marvel Comics version, why is someone who has clearly never read a single page doing some sort of tortured soul fancomic about Loki being some sort of genderfluid snowflake?
In the comics, Loki took the body of Sif for the same reason he does anything - because he thinks it's funny to fuck with people, especially if they're important to Thor. He took her body so her soul would be lost because it had no body to attach to, and played up the "oh no i'm so sorry my magic is gone i have no idea how this happened wink wink" because he had a pretty face to go with his bogus story.

How can you kill something that wasn’t technically alive to begin with?

Just as an aside, "Bruce" the hyena is probably female, due to how Spotted Hyenas work (the females actually have MORE testosterone than the males, to the point of being bigger than the males, having a "pseudo-penis" and fake scrotal sac). Opportunity missed for Woke Hyena portrayal...
