Mythica

This article contains spoilers! You have been warned.

Mythica is a five-movie LARP based on someone's Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Every trope is in here.

Marek is a (female) necromancer with a crippled leg. In this world, necromancers exist when they are corrupted by foul magic. Also this world is classical-themed, as far as its joke of a budget will allow it to be, so - there's slavery, and Marek starts out as one of them.

There's a macguffin artifact split into four or five pieces (depending on whether you count Marek herself as a piece NO NOT LIKE THAT *bonk*): the Darkspore. Think, "heart of Vecna". Another necromancer, Szorlok (played by Matthew Mercer, who else), wants it because it is stronger than the gods here, said divinities being a bunch of relative sissies.

The five movies are A Quest for Heroes, The Darkspore, The Necromancer, The Iron Crown, and The Godslayer. They're a mixed bag, to say the least.

The Darkspore is easily the worst of the five on account of its jarring beginning, which has little relation to how A Quest for Heroes ended.

The first three have Marek collect her three companions who will follow her around, frequently getting killed and being raised. The party finds Darkspore fragments but only to lose them to Szorlok. Over the last two movies the party figures out how to destroy this bane - with the Hammer of Tek as wielded by the bearer of the Iron Crown. Meanwhile Marek becomes an ever more potent necromancer herself, so has to fight the temptation to give in to the Dark Siiide.

And KEVIN SORBO is in it. He's Marek's obiwan in what amounts to a series of cameos.

Mythica is better than the D&D movie, the Dragonlance animation, and the Midnight movie all put together but it's still pretty shit.
