Important Fantasy Worldbuilding Considerations
If we go with an arcane/divine distinction, and please remember that there isn't much reason to do so unless we're writing Dungeons and Dragons fanfiction, and if also we decide our fantasy setting can go ahead and have a magical internet, a defensible decision, I bet the clerics would have it, or if they both do, theirs would be better. Wizards would keep sending each other faxes.

How Dungeons & Dragons Can Succeed as a Move Franchise
I don't think anybody makes Move games anymore, so the field is open. That's how business works.
How Dungeons & Dragons Can Succeed as a Movie Franchise
Release separate Dungeons movies and Dragons movies. Everyone will see the dragon one and then rent the dungeon one to get the whole story.

An Inspirational Speech
You kids think about Dragonlance when you should be taking your Dragonchance. Nothing will happen if you don't make it happen, and no hoard acquires itself. Every one of you has a Dragon Spirit inside.

Addendum
The language of the gods, sure. A language embedded in our genetic code by the life-seeding civilization, of course. A newly developed language that was refined by linguistic engineers so that everybody understands it instantly in a clear improvement over old models. But don't forget about alignment languages!

Upgrade Your Zombies
How do we make zombies threatening? By "we" I mean "not me," because I think zombies are dumb. Here are a few ideas.
Mechs
Power armor
Muscle Tracers
Cataphracts
Mobile Suits
The Master Zombie
Silhouette Knights
Zombie fusion
Arm Slaves
Variable Fighters
Level drain

Fantasy Punchline Corner
"If that's a Birthright, I'd hate to see a Birthwrong!"
"Ice and fire? I thought you were asking me to change your tire!"
"Yo momma's so immune to introspection, when she held the sword of Shannara, it doubted itself!"

Addendum
Baldur's Gate II is better than Icewind Dale II though. Watch out! They're creating a double helix!

Rings of Power Update
Does that count as a clickbait headline? Interest seems to be waning rapidly. I still haven't seen it of course, but here's my opinion: Icewind Dale is better than Baldur's Gate.

Addendum
Don't make it about that guy you steal the charisma cloak from in Baldur's Gate, though. That guy's a little too much like me.

A New Dungeons and Dragons Movie, You Say
I hope it's about Raistlin. He's just like me! Failing that, I hope it's about Sammaster. He's just like me! Failing even that, I hope it's so good everybody like me who's ready to start making fun of it is forced to reexamine everything we thought we knew about the world.

A Missed Opportunity
Where's Dungeonlance? Your game has three things in the title. Give each of them a lance. It's only four mechs, after all.

The New Genre
Get in on this while it's hot: Pumpkincore. Bats, dancing skeletons, bowls of spaghetti, the whole thing, but as a secondary world. Like Ravenloft but not at all.
