I find these two could make a great duo!
Legolas and drizzt would be in harmony
And bruenor and gimli would drink all the mead in the land.
What duos stand out to you in the vast fantasy worlds, compared to the forgotten realms?

I'd love to see Matteo, Tzigone, Danilo Thann, and Arilyn Moonblade all together. Danilo and Tzigone already drive their partners crazy; putting them together and watching the fun would be incredible.  |

Wulfgar and Eomer (and Turin from the recently published work may apply). Both more clever than first appearances allow and definitely moreso than what outsiders would think. Most Tolkien analogies don't apply because the races and people are completely different, in my estimation, but this one holds up.
Zak Do'Urden and Hamlet. Maybe the closest thing to a man of conviction, but he is not the man of action. I guess Drizzt takes the role of Fortinbras - not that he is as silent and suddenly decisive, but relatively speaking he fits the role. |

| I thought about this when imagining what a Drizzt movie would be like, everyone would probably think he was a rip off of jack sparrow, even though he was written first! |

| Is Jack Sparrow still a thing? Jarlaxle strikes me as being more...on point than Jack. Like, Jack does his thing where he kinda reels around drunk while Jarlaxle's only really outlandish feature are his clothes. |

Jarlaxle is more James Bond, dressed in a pimp's clothes.

| If they were to make a movie with Drizzt in it people would flip out that black skinned elves are evil counterparts to good fair skinned elves. |

I'd have to agree. People today enjoy jumping on anything to put their own disillusioned twist on it. |

Probably the fact that -in the movie, that is- he would be the one, single, super-special exception and paragon of goodness, with his whole race of dark skinned elves being utterly ''ebil'' and sadistic (except him and only him), would make things even weirder. Not to mention that there are other things that some people would jump at, like the fact that the only matriarchy portrayed in the movie would give that cliché evil/pesudo-dominatrix feel.
But then, perhaps people would just enjoy the movie, you never know... |
