i'm just going to pretend that they had the script made for this movie 11 years ago,but never got around to making it until now.

[-]

Polenball@reddit

They did start the process in 2014, though it got a new director and rewrite around 2019. Not impossible some of the design choices and things were taken from the first draft, though.

This is so bad that its funny. Why do entartaiment corpos like wasting so much money? Who looks at this and thinks it looks good? How does this garbage get greenlit?

Who looks at this and thinks it looks good?

Your 11 y/o nephew will pay good money and they'll make 1,2b$+ from everyone's nephew

[-]

Exactly. But that's not all I believe. You've got the diehard fans who will just go even if it looks shit. The young college students who were mega fans when they were 10 and will get stoned and go see it. The grandparents who know nothing about it and will take their grandchildren to see it.

Superfragger@reddit

its shocking to me just how many people dont realize they arent the target audience for this.

MtMarker@reddit

It’s just odd because little kids would want to go no matter what. They clearly put effort into it, I just don’t think Jason Momoa is pulling kids into the theater

[-]

I’m exactly the target audience, because I love terrible adaptations if they’re the right amount of terrible

Cheezeepants@reddit

-make movie based off of beloved children's franchise

-put jack black in it

-profit

[-]

Snazzle-Frazzle@reddit

Because they'll most likely make their money back and that's all that matters all that matters to them, full stop. Borderlands is an anomaly, usually a bad movie will at least break even and many times will still make quite a hefty profit. In this day and age, a good movie and a financially successful movie are not mutually exclusive. With the right amount of marketing, casting, and rage baiting you can get any piece of slop to be a breadwinner.

[-]

MeleesMeatHook@reddit

I don't want to blow your mind, but this movie is for children. Who will love it.

[-]

WilliamSaintAndre@reddit

They just assume people will mindlessly consume it because of the IP. Which is sort of true.

Although Jack Black seems like a good guy, he's kind of weirdly become a barometer for whether some video game/old franchise reimagined movie will be absolute brain rot shit conceived by people who have no grasp of why people liked the original work. You can also replace Jack Black with Kevin Hart, Jason Momoa, or the Rock. The statement becomes more true when you have double or triple witching events where there are two or more of them in the same film.

[-]

Pompmaker1@reddit

Jumanji had Jack Black, Kevin Hart AND the rock and it was pretty good

Sockular@reddit

There's exactly a zero percent chance that this won't be a financial success by name recognition alone.

You could shoot a movie named Minecraft and just have footage of a pile of dog shit with flies buzzing and it would still sell.

It looks like the girl in the back is wearing a fantasy-style dress and the guy on the left is wearing a robe. The guy in the middle is wearing a soyboy rockstar outfit and the girl on the right is the worlds fattest fitness instructor from the 80s.

And then there's the kid. He's just a kid.

It really reminds me of those early 2000s, live-action Narnia wannabe crap movies that were on TV all the time.

doublecrossfan@reddit

think about the chain of events that led up to this atrocity happening

notch had a thought to make infiniminer into minecraft his work to be supported by quite a number of initial players together they had chosen a name for the game then notch met jeb and so mojang was botn minecraft survived five years of constant updates to then be bought by microsoft another five-ish years had to pass with game reaching its natural highs and lows

and then warner brothers came

reisenbime@reddit

I was there, Gandalf… I was there when some guy posted links on 4chan to this little hobby game experiment with blocks. I was there and was scared shitless when InfDev got new mobs and new updates were daily..

And still I have no idea who made diggy diggy hole, to me it feels like two years ago it came out tbh so I dunno if you need to feel all that old

[-]

Loudwhisperthe3rd@reddit

It was originally a joke from the Yogscast during their shadow of israphel series. It then got a basic DJ remix here the joke would be a mainstay of the channel during Minecraft series, then 3 years later it got a polished song here and then, 5 years later, wind rose covered it because it fit the aesthetic of the band. In any case, it’s a minor miracle the song still has relevance, especially since the original channel has reorganized to help host new streamers and video producers.

well technically they were/are streamers. although at the time of that video I dont think they were

[-]

MoltyPlatypus@reddit

Thanks

[-]

BeardedBandit@reddit

I up vote kindness, but the downvotes are probably because "thanks" doesn't really contribute/further the conversation

kinda like commenting lol or lmao or an emoji

Have a great day, fellow redditor!

[-]

MoltyPlatypus@reddit

Wow, that’s some elitist type behavior. But no most downvotes were because of the edit, when i edited i only had 1 so people started downvoting because of it lol.

But no I completely disagree with you, saying thanks on a reply has nothing to do with saying lol. You’re literally continuing the conversation and i would rather someone to thank me than not say anything. That mindset is some hivemind bs, who does this thread belong to and whose business is it other than the people involved that i cant even thank someone who helped me?

[-]

AtomicMonkeyTheFirst@reddit

There's nothing quite as pathetic as fully grown adults complaining about losing magical internet points.

[-]

MoltyPlatypus@reddit

This all started because i just had a single downvote on the thanks reply so i edited because i thought it was funny.

The long comment was because of the argument that thanks deserves downvotes because it doesn’t add anything to the conversation. It was never about the downvotes my guy, i was never angry either lol, he politely replied to me and I disagreed with him.

[-]

AtomicMonkeyTheFirst@reddit

Please, explain some more about why you should not be downvoted even though you dont really care about it anyway.

[-]

MoltyPlatypus@reddit

I only challenged that he said that thanking someone didn’t add anything to a conversation, hope that clears it up ✌️

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Reddit account has decreased by one.

Why did you do this?

There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

• ⁠Rudeness towards other Redditors, • ⁠Spreading incorrect information, • ⁠Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I banned from the Reddit?

No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Reddit.com. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Reddit is privilege, not a right.

Just switch to Vintage Story bro. Its everything Minecraft was supposed to be before it turned into children's learning tools.

[-]

schizochode@reddit

Is it better than better than adventure?

[-]

PaintThinnerSparky@reddit

Its like if Minecraft branched off into survival and realism instead of adventure and fantasy.

Its like minecraft with all of the realism and quality of life mods, but standalone, and much slower-paced.

I pepper it full of mods to actually be more fun, and its much more enjoyable than MC.

It needs more people in order for the game to grow into what it could be, but even in its current state it is very fun and very replayable, if you mod it and mess with the worldgen settings especially

[-]

aleMiyo@reddit

it's essentially a completely different game. the only similarities with minecraft are the graphics and the fact that it started out as a minecraft mod. there are many more steps to making tools and other things you need, such as clay bowls to eat out of, as well as higher difficulty and stronger enemies.

look up some videos. it may be hard to understand what's going on at first but it's pretty entertaining. i even think there's a mod that puts most of vintage story features in minecraft.

[-]

wine_coconut@reddit

I've never played Minecraft and I don't really get the hate.

Is it that far off from what the game is about?

[-]

Lachybomb@reddit

Compared to the actual game, it's basically the polar opposite in terms of tone. Minecraft is a fairly quiet, reserved game outside of the boss fights, Nether dimension and Pillagers. It also lacks humor save for the quirky achievement names.

However, the online Minecraft community is full of loud, annoying kids and loud, annoying grown men trying to grab the attention of kids on YouTube, which seems to be the vibe the movie is going for from what little we've seen.

It's basically a reimagining of Minecraft where its target demographic aligns with its actual demographic.

So what this movie bout ahit being square or som?

[-]

FaZe_Clon@reddit

its hip

[-]

asdfpoo@reddit

In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

[-]

hypocriticalsailboat@reddit

I think the blowback to this artstyle is super lame honestly. The real life characters are dumb and the movie is going to be a by-the-numbers cynical video game movie cash grab, but I have to put some respect on the fact it tried something new. The mobs all have this unsettling mixture of realism and like, paper mache, which is admittedly pretty gross but in a way that's visually interesting. I'm not trying to be contrarian when I say I'd prefer something bold like this than if they did Minecraft Story Mode: The Movie and it just looked like those youtube animations from 2010's. It's gonna be some goofy fun that kids will enjoy regardless

The spy kids graphics aren’t even that bad since their costumes fit in with environments, because if you stick to one artstyle things look semi-good no matter what.

this is just completely contrasting artstyles and colors, it’s hideous by every definition.
