Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Rebels hits theaters this Thursday (13th) with the promise of presenting the public with not only the fantastic world of the RPG system, but also the chaotic atmosphere that always marks a game departure. And this is present not only in the film itself, but also in its post-credit scene.
Yes, the film starring Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez follows the trend that has become standard in Hollywood puts extra content after the supposed end of the story. The news is that you don’t have to wait long, as there’s only one of these scenes after the main credits – which means you don’t have to stay in the room until all the names come up on the screen.
Also, that post-credit scene of D&D it’s much more of a little joke than actually something meaningful to the story. This is just something to laugh at and nothing that will be used as a hook for an eventual sequel.
What is the post-credit scene in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Rebels
The post credit scene of Honor Among Rebels it is, in fact, the continuation of a joke that was planted halfway through the film and that even appeared in one of the trailers.
At a certain point in history, the group of adventurers needs to use a spell to revive the dead to get information about a magical artifact. By the rules of the RPG and which is also established in the story, the heroes can ask five questions to the undead and that, after that, they go back to being just corpses and can no longer be revived that way.
Repeating for the umpteenth time the humor for breaking expectations, the heroes start to interview several dead people to get the clues they need and all with the same mechanic: five questions so that he goes back to being just a putrefied body.
It turns out that, in the midst of this endeavor, they reanimate a deceased who had no useful information to give. So they abandon that zombie without asking the five questions.
And guess what the post-credits scene joke is? Quite predictably, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Rebels returns to that graveyard to show that the corpse is still reanimated, waiting for someone to complete the spell. He calls for someone to make the last questions, but gets no response. Thus, the game ends with him lamenting the fact that he is now a living dead.
