I just saw it in theaters tonight. It was so good. More serious than the first Shazam, but just as funny. My favorite DCEU movie series rn other than Wonder Woman.
Ps. Anything added in parentheses in answers 2, 4 and 5 are just a joke lol.

Anyway, where were we? Ah yes, the party just figured out the Mad Mage of Mt. Bartok is Mother-Fucking-Modrdenkaninen so:
- They strapped that old man to Vol’s back and decided to trek back into town to see about un-crazying that old man with their buddy Dr. Pretorius. Osry has opinions about Vol’s musical marching tastes. (Vol is singing it as I learned it at camp which is degraded a little from years of internet-less translation from councilor to councilor.)
- Encountering weird shit in the woods is par for the course in Zorovia, and Milan spotted a dead illusion of Mortimer, which the rest of us missed. Milan is a lying lier who lies when it comes to not ruffling feathers for the day.
- One potion of greater restoration later, and Dr. Sophia Pretorius has restored Mordenkanien’s wits (he no longer is convinced the fish are staring at him and killing everything in lake Zarovich.) Milan gives his line about not fucking poking Strahd.
- Milan tells recently-burgomaster Victor (with his own interests in the occult) that he had better offer a place to stay to the mage as he recuperates. Poor Victor is out of his depth but doing his best.
