Joe Manganiello Wants D&D Icons To Honor The Creator Of Dungeons & Dragons

Joe Manganiello Wants D&D Icons To Honor The Creator Of Dungeons & Dragons https://ift.tt/3BEqbVQ Dungeons & Dragons has attracted several of the greatest storytellers of all time to the Forgotten Realms, and at Gen Con, Wizards of the Coast announced a new product line called D&D Icons to bring together creators to develop new stories for the tabletop franchise. True Blood actor Joe Manganiello has a long history with the franchise, and he serves as chief creative officer for the D&D Icons line. Speaking to GameSpot's Jessica Cogswell at Gen Con, Manganiello explained how he wants D&D Icons to continue the legacy of the game's co-creator, Gary Gygax. "I was asked one year ago today by [Head of Dungeons & Dragons] Dan Ayoub, 'What would you do if you had...' I brought up the possibility of there being this line within D&D, and he said, 'Okay, who would you want to work with?' I said, 'Margaret [Weis] and Tracy [Hickm...

Barbie's Ryan Gosling On The "Hypocrisy" Of Ken Haters: "You Never Cared"

Barbie's Ryan Gosling On The "Hypocrisy" Of Ken Haters: "You Never Cared" https://ift.tt/6HZ78sr

When Barbie was introduced in 1959, she was sold by herself, but her greatest accessory wouldn't hit the market until a year later: Ken.

A man without an identity of his own, Ryan Gosling, who plays the main Ken in the upcoming Barbie movie really wants you to care about Ken.

"Ken...his job is beach," Gosling told GQ, explaining who Ken is to him. "For 60 years, his job has been beach. What the f--- does that even mean? And everyone was fine with that, for him to have a job that is nothing. But suddenly, it's like, 'No, we’ve cared about Ken this whole time.' No, you didn’t. You never did. You never cared. Barbie never f---ed with Ken. That's the point. If you ever really cared about Ken, you would know that nobody cared about Ken. So your hypocrisy is exposed. This is why his story must be told."

Director Greta Gerwig has already said that Ken's creation is sort of a reverse Adam and Eve story in the Book of Genesis. Much like Barbie, Ken is malleable but is almost a worshipper of Barbie and everything she is. Gerwig said that she cast Gosling in the role because of a quality he has about never judging the characters. "He doesn't try and make you know that Ryan Gosling knows that this is silly. He does it in a way that takes on all of the potential humiliations of the character as his own."
