Pretty good quote bc its truuuue lol

And vice versa
Good luck to ya m8 and may you find peace in your domain
The crazy thing is kids would want to see a Minecraft movie no matter what.
Yes no wonder adults complain too much im 18 but I don't complain about every single little thing that gets added to Minecraft or the Minecraft movie
I think the Steve line was supposed to get applause. Like all the awkward silences in a Marvel movie.
Funny thing about Kotaku: They had a similar article with Battlefield V, that if you didn't like it, don't buy it. Whether or not this had anything to do with the sales for said game is anybody's guess, but Battlefield V did not sell well. The person who wrote that article then got fired.
John Walker gonna be walking out with a box of office items if this movie flops.
That's what one of the game developers (now fired) said about the game
I mean, they did give good advise. There's way too many people that buy games they know they won't like, especially Pokémon.
💀
Battlefield V didn’t sell well because community sentiment wasn’t high about the game going into it.
people wanted another modern battlefield title akin to 3 or 4, and that on top of Dice’s emphasis on their battle royale game mode that was a complete failure, and coming off the backs of Hardline and 1, people didn’t have high expectations. BF4 was still the last great battlefield title.
"Its not for you" but then when no one goes to see it, "why the Minecraft movie flopped and how it's all your fault for not seeing it"
Exactly. So many movies nowadays are using this excuse.
@@talljesuschrist I can't remember for sure but I think it was the Charlie's Angels movie, with some news site got memed on for saying "men, this movie isn't for you" and then after the movie tanked, the exact same writer posted another article that said something like "why the movie flopped because men didn't see it"
Minecraft is such a big franchise at this point, id be surprised if it doesn't make a ton of money at the box office.
@@Catlord98765 I wouldn't. Bigger franchises have bombed in theaters
@Catlord98765 Star Wars just tried it and it MASSIVELY failed. So if they are saying it is not for people who actually grew up on MC or who are intimately familiar with MC, then it will fail.
Idk but if your source materials fans hate it that’s pretty fucked. It should be for all. Anyone this movie inspires is going to be sorely disappointed trying the game
The piglins look cool
I agree, we (the minecraft players) are the ones who have been waiting for the movie
@@jameswesten2018 But everything else not
Someone animated the trailer in the minecraft-update-trailer style and it looks SO GOOD
@@jameswesten2018 The piglins translated fine because they benefit from looking grotesque
Even if the movie is aimed at a younger demographic (10 and under), it can still look good. Not seeing it that way is an insult to movies like Finding Nemo, Up, Ratatouille, etc. I mean heck, The Wild Robot appeals to younger crowds and it looks great.
I personally disagree with the realistic art style and live action characters, something like the style of Minecraft: Story Mode would have been awesome.
I think Minecraft Dungeons actually did a really good job at striking a balance between detail and keeping the general vibe of Minecraft.
@@Dragonseer666 Agreed but something in the style of the Story Mode would have been great as well. Anything is better than what we saw in the trailer.
I feel like Minecraft story mode animation+dungeons textureing and graphics would have been ABSOLUTELY perfect
I AGREE STRONGLY

Journalist: THIS MOVIE ISNT FOR YOU! ITS FOR KIDS!
Yeah? Really? Then why did they cast a 55 year old guy who was really only relevant in the 90s-00s doing grown up stoner comedy? 😂😂😂
Little kids don't know, or care about Jack Black, but there is a demographic thst really does...I wonder how old his fans are?
Oh wow...what a coincidence.
But for real, yo...It's totally for kids!😂😂

Bro, one of my cousins literally said they’d rather watch the Emoji Movie than watch this garbage. To me that’s wild as hell
Why should it be a kid’s movie? Part of the appeal of Minecraft is the liminal horror, and it’s kind of a game that makes you feel like an adult. “In Minecraft, no body can tell you what to do”. So why can’t it be like the Spider-Man movies? Clearly made for an older audience, but children still love it.
True
Movies can target only kids, sure. But to me, even before I realised it as a child, the best kids movies are always enjoyable for adults. Think The Lego (+Batman) Movie, Paddington, How to Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda to name a few of my favourites.
That's true of basically any children's media, it's always the ones that appeal to EVERYONE that do the best. Think Disney and Pixar movies for example, or Bluey. Heck, even Avatar: The Last Airbender was made for children but has become a cult classic that people of all ages can enjoy. Children's media that is sloppy, lazy, badly written, or just dumbed down to the point that literally only infants would enjoy it just isn't a good product. Not only does that greatly limit the potential audience, but it also kills any chance for revisiting it as these kids grow up and feel nostalgic for it, because they obviously aren't going to be able to enjoy and appreciate it anymore at that point and they'll only see it as the flawed product that it is. Also, children deserve high quality content that's crafted lovingly and doesn't belittle, demean, or talk down to them/patronize them/question their intelligence. The Spider-Verse movies are yet another great example of movies that are technically aimed at a younger audience but are just as popular among adults and older fans as well; the Minecraft movie is definitely not that, and arguing that a bad piece of media is "for kids" and "not for you" is just so horrible and not nearly as good of a defense as the author of that article seems to think it is.
@@negligible_reality Amen.... To all that.
@@negligible_reality So true. Kids are smarter than movie-makers think, and they can handle more things than many adults think as well. When I was like 6-8 years old I watched Harry Potter 1, 2 and 3, and the only thing I found actually scary was the Lupin werewolf transformation, my favorite HP movie was/is Chamber of Secrets, even with all the scary giant spiders, frozen people and Voldemort scenes.
I also liked watching Star Wars, and once watched the three first Jurassic Park movies in school when I was like 7-8 (tho tbh they, especially the 2nd one, were a bit too scary at times, but our oldest classmate told us when to cover our eyes to not see people getting eaten XD), and I also liked watching nature documentaries where predators hunt and kill prey and everything nature delivers. Meerkat Manor was one of my favorites, even if it got really sad sometimes.
And yeah, a lot of Disney movies I loved as a kid and still love as an adult, Fox and the Hound was one of my favorites as a kid, and now whenever I watch it as an adult, I cry because I understand the world much better and have experienced more stuff than I did as a kid.
Also, I still haven't watched Spiderverse, I really want to, but the website (pun not intended LMAO) that I use to watch cartoons and have watched some movies on, while it HAS Spider-Verse, it doesn't allow me to see it unless I buy premium or something, and well it's not in my theaters anymore, and I don't think it's on Netflix, so I really don't know how to find it to watch it.
I keep hearing good things about it and I am a big Spider-Man fan and really wanna see it/them. Alas.
The director of A Minecraft Movie conveniently forgets that the initial reaction to "Ugly Sonic" caused the movie to be delayed for a few months so they could change him into the look he has now. Could be why they're showing the teaser now and setting the date for next year in case they need to change how things look. From the like/dislike ratio, that appears to have been a good call.
ive heard that the movie's already finished filming and production. unless they planned all of this, they're past the point of no return
Unpopular opinion: minecraft should not have realistic graphics no matter the media.
That’s exactly what my 10yr old said
*popular opinion
Thats not an unpopular opinion thats actually what all rational people would agree is correct.
Unless you outright redesign everything yeah
An unpopulair opinion would be to disagree with yours
(Though I fully agree minecraft is better of with the default textures)
My 7 year old daughter is psyched for the movie just because it's Minecraft
But she didn't like the way the animals looked and doesn't recognize any of the actors so...
Proof the movie is already forgettable.
My little brother is 10 years old and he hates it, he wanted an animated movie
Same
To be fair it is much more then command and conquer is... Like all I see is about 6 guys in front of a green screen... Command and conquer had props and sets.
Tbh I think the Movie should have been named
Minecraft: Movie Edition
Itd be funny
And in the Wiki it'd be listed as a "version of Minecraft"
here's the thing: if it does not appeal to older minecraft players then it will never even come close to reaching the success of movies like the mario movie, inside out 2, and the lion king remake. Maybe at maximum it will make 1/3rd of the money because it has a much smaller potential audience.
Lol most Minecraft players are barely over 10
@@Key-Knight87 there are a lot of people who played minecraft from 2012 onwards who would be interested in seeing the movie if it was actually good

"It’s not for you" is such an inherently wrong take, for any movie, no further discussion is needed.
So sick of hearing “it isn’t for you!”
I sort of feel the Minercraft demographic is nearly everyone with a PC or mobile devoce and free time to play.
I'm 38 and Minecraft is one of my favorite games. Been playing for years especially with my kids. This is garbage
I've been playing since Java 1.6 when horses came out. My son put it on my laptop in 2014. I'm 49 now, and still play it regularly (1.20 now; haven't gone to 1.21 yet). It's one of the few things I look forward to doing anymore. Just such a fun escape that can be infinitely tailored to everyone's wants ✌️🧓

@@Fauxchemill I'm 32 and same!
We live in an era where the producer of Doctor Who says it's not for Doctor Who fans, the producer of Star Trek says it's not for Star Trek fans, the producer of Star Wars says it's not for Star Wars fans. Of COURSE the Minecraft movie is not for Minecraft fans.
Don't forget halo and borderlands.
This has been a thing for quite a while now to be honest. I'm personally a big fan of comic books and back in the 2000s after the release of the first X-Men movie it was decided that the writer Grant Morrison was going to revamp the comics and get people excited to read them after seeing the film. He had plenty of good ideas but he also went on a huge rant about how the fans opinions to all the changes he was making to the story and characters didn't matter and that this series wasn't for X-Men fans, and that it was meant to appeal to mainstream audiences who had seen the movie. The series ended up being really good and is considered a classic run for the X-Men, but his attitude towards fans was really disrespectful to the core audience and is something that he still gets criticism for to this day on certain occasions. It's unfortunate, but "this piece of media isn't for the fans of the franchise it's a part of" is actually a disgustingly popular take and has been passed around by creators for quite a while.
@Glamrock-Sakura Randy Bitchfords movie flopped so hard I’m glad I didn’t waste my money on it
@@negligible_reality At the risk of appearing against THE MESSAGE, this is basically what is wrong with all franchises today. Like... Why buy something and then make a product so completely dffrerent that no one even recognises it... Then say "Well it wasn't for them anyway". What... The only people who gave a flip in the first place? And it's not for them?! Well flip off, then! We won't watch and your pointless movie will fail, obviously!
(Flips for fucks, obviously)
They constantly pander to a "modern audience" that apparently doesn't even exist.
They say "It's not for you," but they will waste no time blaming the people "it wasn't for" for not buying it.
Corporate authoritarianism has gone too far...
"If you want to know who controls you, figure out whom you cannot criticize."

@@skog4437
Grrrr, thems the worst!
This is just heartbreaking. Im tired of defending minecraft from people who say "it's just a stupid cube kids game". And now they are telling me that it always has been a kids game?? How in the earth 10 y.o are the target audience??? Including myself, there are A LOT of people who are older than 10. This is just so sad to see that your favorite game ignores you
Yeah they have just invited decreasing merch sales from the older audience with expendable income. Isn't that where most profit comes from in an IP? Isn't that the whole point in trying to capture kids young so they spend later on? They already had that. Though I think the film might be fine and the trailer is deliberately a troll.
my issue is just with the overuse of greenscreen and cgi. i think the mobs look fine for a realistic minecraft movie but with every shot in the teaser being actors stood in the middle of a stage-lit volume with a few prop trees dotted around the edges and even greenscreening the background of steve's house it makes it feel so fake and cheap. the fan film DAWN has an infinitely lower budget and i think they managed to merge the live action with minecraft really well, especially considering its a few friends from college on like $1000 max
Dude, I don't know how they're gonna be able to do those giant wide-screens without CGI. They're not gonna terraform New Zealand's mountains for the Minecraft movie. But there is a disconnect in the opening shot between the foreground and landscapes.
@@PhonyLyzardThe problem is that the live action characters stand out way too much from everything around them, and it just looks bad, like the two elements (live action and animated) don't blend at all. The green screen is also clearly visible in almost all of the shots in the trailer, which also makes it look cheap and bad. Tbh, they should have just made it an animated movie with semi realistic graphics.
@@negligible_reality I feel liek making everything animated with semi-realistic graphics would've just been a waste when they could've stuck to the Minecraft style. And I know the actors are out of place, but that's clearly the point. To me, the cgi looks good, like, most of the time it doesn't really distract me much except for that 1 scene where the characters look out into the horizon after seeing the sheep, and that can be fixed up before the movie comes out in a year. My main complaint is just that the plot looks a little too generic and Jack Black was a bad choice for Steve. But none of my opnions are final. They will most likely change after getting more information than a 70 second teaser.
Toycat does fanservice now 4:24

I don't get it why didn't they do an animated movie like Mario. They could have even tried to get Element Animation involved.

Mario literally proved a lore accurate fully animated film adaptation of a video game can work….. and then they made this
Maybe Steve isn’t Steve. What if there’s a plot twist and he’s really Herobrine.
Nah, he's retired steve
Now I hope we see Jack Black with completely white eyes just turn to the camera and make a witty remark about how he's not a hero but he is a Herobrine.
As someone who has known Minecraft since before its heyday (Infdev), it's amusing to see how the public's perception of the game shifted over the years.
When I started playing (Alpha) as a college freshman, profs and classmates who caught me playing called it "retro-style", "old-school", or thought it's some obscure game from the 2000s. Now, it's a popular "children's game". Lol.
I simply think it's quite tragic when a Minecraft Story Mode fan animation project teaser looks far better and more interesting than the official minecraft movie's.
27 year old and I play Minecraft with my 5 other 25-27 year old friends.. so I dont know what they’re smoking when they make the target audience 10 year olds when the game is a game for everyone.
They don't want your money. They want the money the ten year olds make. 🥴
So, when the movie started development, it was being made for.. 0 year olds..?
embryos, yes. but the movie will fail because the directors fail to realize one thing
embryos cant go to theaters.
Everyone else will refuse to watch this, knowing the inevitable crap shoot this movie will eventually become.
@@inny74Even embryos and the unborn hate it.
i feel like the best thing you can do with a movie on a sandbox is inspire people. if they had done something with the deep dark portal, countless builds would’ve came out of it. there’s no grand setpieces to recreate or inspiration for mods like story mode’s witherstorm
What’s crazy is that a good movie reaches both young and older audiences, and it’s really not all that hard to pull off, Disney has done it for lifetimes.
It should have been animated. 👏 Seriously I don't think "it's cool to hate it" i think it just sucks end of story. Jack black could have still been the voice of steve but it sucks.
I remember being made fun of for being a Sonic fan back in the 2000s, and I couldn't really blame em. We had a 2005 game featuring a hedgehog with guns, a 2006 game with a questionable kissing scene, and a 2008 game that turned Sonic to a flipping "werehog", lol. If Paramount's ugly Sonic came out back then, I'd hide every proof of my being a fan or perhaps abandon Sonic entirely.
That said, I feel for that kid. If this ends up as a terrible movie, we might see MC kids getting teased or even bullied for it. Not even my nephews and nieces are liking this.
They’re going to make Matt Pat, the voice of a creeper…
It’s not something I have confirmed … it’s just a theory…
I showed the trailer to my 10 year old brother. He threw my phone
I know a lot of people use the argument "Minecraft is a sandbox game, they couldn't faithfully adapt that into a movie" and I strongly disagee. I think a minecraft movie about surviving, exploring, and maybe making friends and building relationships with others could genuinely be a really interesting movie if directed right.
This!!
And add extra flavour to the exploration part by learning a bit about the lore and encountering the end boss/monster mobs.
Budding friendships and a good message about working together to overcome obstacles and doubt would've been awesome, you can even throw some humor in there by starting the protag off living a dirt box that turns into a mansion.
People watch thousands of hours of that on UA-cam already, there is clearly a market for it. If they made a movie that echoed how it feels to play the game, it would be incredible.
Plus if you’ve seen matpats theories on the game, there’s sooo much lore they could put in about this game. It’s just ridiculous that this is what is put out. This society needs good stories again big companies have lost the ability to create stories. As an aspiring writer I’m disgusted with the production of stories now days. It’s all sequels and rewatching of the same ideas. Nothing new and exciting.
Anyone else expect the Minecraft Movie to be like Minecraft Story mode but on a big box office live action budget or was I wrong to expect that?
Theres no way there are people defending this
I wish it was in the art style of the minecraft update trailers
Trailer or story mode kind of style would've ben better
@@Aselo20845Or Dungeons, or the recent Villager News episodes. Or a combination of those styles.
Yeeeeah@@Aselo20845
almost every time someone says "not for you" the project is dead... then they blame people who they told it wasnt mad for...
unlike the Sonic Movie which has done well enough to get a third movie.
There is not a single thing I like about the Minecraft movie so far, I genuinely can’t think of one.
There's no way Mojang things the target demographic is younger than the game its self
I will never trust anything a kotaku writer says. If the Minecraft movie isn’t partially for an older audience, then how did the Mario movie do so well for both a younger and older audience?
Even after asking the kids from my old school I used to go to, they said it was a bad looking trailer. Not even the target audience liked it.
Humiliation ritual for Jason Mamoa, surprised he's not in a dress.
Popular Opinion: When you release a movie based on a game, you’re supposed to make sure the more hardcore fans enjoy it, too.
Less Popular Opinion: If this movie is only for kids, then it probably shouldn’t have curse words in it that would make hyper-Christian and conservative parents avoid letting their children watch a movie that won’t be fun for adults, anyways.
Popular Opinion:
If a piece of media is ONLY for kids, it ISN’T for kids over 8. The difference between Fanboy & Chum Chum and modern SpongeBob or Regular Show and Adventure Time is that Regular show and Adventure Time is enjoyable for adults, whilst Fanboy & Chum Chum and modern SpongeBob is downright irritating to most adults.
Warner Bros really did "walk over the river to fetch water" eith this movie. They could've just made it in Storymode style 💀💀💀
The day they announced Jack Black would not just voice, but PLAY steve I saw this coming.
As a Minecraft player I find it offensive
Same.

I really wonder where Minecraft would have actually gone if Notch wasn't so vocal about his politics
He probably still would have sold it at some point but it definitely would have been sold at a better position that would have made it harder for Mojang to go down the greedy path that it has
I mean for ex
You cannot customize your flat world anymore without presets you only get three blocks deep and most of the time just dirt and I don't even think presets exist on console
They took away a lot of main components that made Minecraft Minecraft and not really all there is is the basic survival routine that we've all gotten used to over the..
what...like 10+ years of this game?
That's why the two versions that I play the most consistently are on my Xbox 360 and that being
Beta 1.6.6 and
Minecraft's first release that has the end Dimension that was just added
All of this is opinion of course
But nothing stops me from noticing how much microtransactions are now in game as compared to what was there almost 5-6 years ago

The only real problem I have is that it's live action why is this not animated or at least used cgi to make the human characters more blocky
Considering how Minecraft is one of the biggest games ever and has alot of Microsoft money, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the trailer thats making it look bad, because theres no way the budget only went to hyperrealistic sheep and jack blacks paycheck, that money has to do something. for all we know the trailer could have been made by an intern or something, yeah it doesn't seem great from what we've seen, but we've barely seen anything.
Nah, this is their first trailer, they want to sell us this movie. They aren't gonna half-do it. Also animation is expensive so it probably did go to hyper realistic sheep and Jack Black. Just for reference, this movie cost $150M, while the Lion King remake cost $260M.
Seeing how video game movies tend to be disasters, I was hardly surprised, but I'm still disappointed
There's definitely money laundering and tax-writeoffs involved
I don't consider Minecraft exclusively a kids game. At least not originally. I like to consider Minecraft a family game. You can play it by yourself, which I usually do, but many of my favorite memories are from playing with friends and family. I hope we get a movie or series that reflects that.
Personally, my issue is not the strange designs they went for on the Minecraft animals. (Is it weird? Yes, but at least they're still blocky. It kind of makes me think of those overly detailed texture packs.)
My issue is with the Main Characters not being in the same blocky style as everything else.
Let them be normal people when they're in the real world, but then convert them into Minecraft skin variations of themselves when they enter the Minecraft world... Because otherwise this whole movie is going to be a handful of people standing in front of a green screen.
That does lead to the question regarding the animation. Isn't this style too... busy when compared to regular Minecraft? Wouldn't it be more cost effective to use assets from the game?
i feel like the "primary audience" is just the one that makes them the most money. Im 14 (sorta the primary audience) and the graphics look disgusting like i would NOT make my pet a dog it looks so bad stggg
also they shoudve done the minecraft trailer graphics, these graphics just look like those disgusting goofy oddly realistic mods. I genuinely hate this sm i waited YEARS for this😭

First five seconds starting off citing a Kotaku article.
When this movie was announced a decade ago. I was 10. Therefore I am the demographic
I’m of the opinion that the biggest problem with the Minecraft teaser trailer is that for all the hype and all the waiting there were going to be unreasonably high expectations for whatever they came up with. The trailer had the potential to make the movie look awesome independent of whether the final product is actually good or not, which would have quelled a lot of the trepidation that a lot of Minecraft fans have about the movie. But when the producers had a chance to put their proverbial “best foot forward”, this is what they came up with, which didn’t give anyone the sense that the movie would be exciting, funny, or even interesting. Many recent movies have ridden the momentum of a really good trailer (Matrix Resurrection being a great example), but the Minecraft movie now has an uphill climb to overcome a bad trailer. I still have hopes that the final product will be a worthwhile watch, but the trailer did nothing but significantly lower my expectations.
I really feel like an outcast for actually liking what was shown. Sure it’s not perfect, but I liked it.
4:24 hell yeah
“Kids movies” shouldn’t be exclusively for kids. Any adult can enjoy an older Pixar title just as much as a kid can because they were made to tell a story first and foremost, and were simply made available for children by avoiding or hiding heavier themes in a place that a kid wouldn’t notice it. Before you make a movie, you should first ask yourself if the story is good, then if you want the movie to be for kids, leave out swear words and inappropriate scenes. (They clearly want this movie to be PG-13 by the advertisement of light swearing in the trailer, which the MPA is rarely lax on)
I mean, if Bluey, a show on Disney junior, who’s target demographic is literal preschoolers, can attract fans from so many age demographics, then something with such broad appeal as Minecraft should be able to as well.
I usually try to differentiate between “kids media” and “family friendly” with the former being half the recent ADHD inducing shows meant solely to serve as a distraction for rowdy kids, and the latter being basically exactly what you described. It has fun stuff for the kids, but has hidden complexities that anyone can enjoy.
Silly Minecraft fans. The Minecraft Movie isn't meant for you!

Give the budget to element animation and they will produce a movie a million times better than this. Ridiculous

I don’t know how to feel about this movie after watching the trailer.
If it “takes place before Minecraft was even invented”, then that makes me even more miffed about the focus on the piglins being the antagonists.
To be kinda fair, the concept has been around since Notch was still at the helm, except we used to call them "Pigmen".
I do remember Notch considering Pigmen as Overworld villagers (before switching over to the "Testificates"). The movie might have Piglins live in the Overworld before Steve and co exiled them to the Nether.
Jason Momoa literally looks like Steve... why not cast him as Steve. Lore accurate Steve is tall and buff and not a fat white man
i do fully agree the stylistic choices are....... A Choice......... but its honestly just kind of funny to me how im sitting here just sipping my wine excited to see it still as someone whos been EXTREMELY into minecraft for the last 13 or so years, and also someone who enjoys shitty movies.. im just glad to see its being made, i do think you could do some amazingly cool things with the premise of minecraft, but for all the years we've known abt this movie, ive never had expectations very high and thats not really a bad thing to me...! im just happy to be here man fr
I DO WANT TO ADD THO, i would NOT be complaining if they wanted to make the animals look less Horrifying...! that would be fine in my book!!!!!!!!! but beyond that i think the human cast just seems kind of funny in an unserious goofy way.. idk i just like bad movies what can i say..!
Really hope it includes a small Herobrine cameo. I’m not saying make him the main villain, I just think he deserves a small part in the movie. They’ve featured him in official artwork and they often put the line ‘removed Herobrine’
I think the minecraft movie will be goofy fun, but I also get the feeling ill just watch it once and then forget about it (Kinda like the DnD movie).
I am hoping the netflix series will be good but its hard to say. Netflix orignals are very hit or miss, so im trying not to get my hopes up. But if it its good, then it will be good.
"This movie isn't for you" translates to "We're marketing slop to kids because they'll buy any stupid thing"
... Kids deserve better.
Make something with good story and solid performances. Kids will age out of that low tier demographic, and if you can deliver something that's enjoyable by more than just the lowest bar you'll attract a larger audience. Plus parents are needing to buy into these films also in order for the kids to be taken to the cinema. Have a standard that adults can accept will increase the number of families taking their kids to a kid's movie.
A Minecraft movie gives me The first Pokémon movie vibes as if they know that their is absolutely no possible way that they don't make a 2nd one

This might be the only movie where the choice to not animate it, makes it appeal more to kids than it would have otherwise
It's made by people who have never played minecraft. They just took the "Hollywood" formula of movie making and used images from the minecraft game to make a movie with a minecraft look. They just repackage parts of movies that have made money before with new skins.
Dude you give the perfect reason yourself: If the average age of the player is 26, then no know needs to wonder why the players hate a trashy trailer for 10 yo. They are NOT main group of the players of this game.
One thing I liked about story mode is although it had a lot of goofy moments, it was surprisingly sincere. Even dungeons and legends had sincere plots, even with some jokes and stuff, typically at the expense of the mobs. Anyway, I’m tired of every movie having to be some snarky parody of itself that doesn’t let you suspend disbelief at all. Why does every movie need to be jumanji or Deadpool.
The problem is this movie looks like it was made by people who don't know what Minecraft is but were shown some concept art and had a bunch of money thrown at them. I may not be a kid anymore, but I can still remember being one, and I can tell you if I saw this trailer when I was 10 my first thought would be "that's not Minecraft".
The only person this will appeal to is the out of touch dad who hasn't played a video game since Pong who will drag his kids to see this cause it looks like the "cartmining" game they're into hoping that'll prove he's cool.
We don't want an ugly Sonic, so let's make an ugly Minecraft instead?🤔🤦
I am a mother of two boys that are the target demographic aged pointed out in this video and neither of them liked what they saw in the trailer. We all play Minecraft. Yes, even I do!
I actually quite like the animal designs. I think they do look minecrafty, in the sense of “this is what these animals would look like if they were slightly more organic”
I don’t get the uncanny valley vibe everyone else seems to be getting, I think they’re endearing. I love how the llama looks and how it moves, and I think the sheep in particular is kind supposed to be weird as wild as that sounds
In the trailer we’ve all seen, that seems to be the first thing they see, and even the trailer says this is a weird animal. I think as a storytelling device this sheep is supposed to raise a point to both characters and audience that this world they’ve found themselves in is weird. It’s a tone setter. And if I’m right, it probably serves that role well in context.
Suffice it to say I think it’s a good thing that they look somewhat different, while still looking like their in game counterparts. They don’t look bad the way ugly Sonic looks bad. He looked like a guy in a suit, was what makes him look unsettling to me. I don’t get the same impression here.
At the end of the day, I think I’m gonna have a good time watching this. And it’s overhated to the point of being annoying.
I recently got a copy of the Story Mode for Xbox One, I only had it for 360. I've been planning to replay it one weekend and the urge is now even bigger.
yeah... yeah... the movie is meant for the concord playerbase.
Concord has a player-base?
For real, though, what do you mean by this? The target demographic is 10yr-olds, right? Is that who's playing Concord?
@@Bees-In-a-Trenchcoat the 'wtf' clip from the movie trailer after the pink sheep genuinely looked like a concord meme post when i first saw it.
people have genuinely swapped some of the characters in picture with concord characters.
also concord not having a playerbase is apart of the joke. nobody asked to watch a landfill dry.
@@Bees-In-a-TrenchcoatYou missed the joke. They're saying the Concord fanbase (nobody) is going to genuinely enjoy it.
I wanna know the context behind this pixel art 4:21
Even emphasizing "HUGE THING" a few seconds later XD
My 9-year old saw the trailer and literally said, "This isn't for me."
They should’ve just made I like story mode 😭
Taking bets on there being a liar revealed trope in the 3rd act.
And steve is the bad guy because he's been looting and stealing from the piglin
"It's for kids" is such an infuriating excuse. Shouldn't we give our children, the damn future, something decent? Something that'll inspire them? What happened to movies inspiring children to become artists, racers, astronauts, etc?
A movie "for kids" should be enjoyable for everyone. Looking at Bluey, Klaus, Kung Fu Panda, Megamind, Incredibles, literally any good animated movie rn
What happened to animation? What happened to storytelling? What happened to art?
Why should we consume product and get excited for new product? Why should we accept this garbage?
Steve is boring, Steve is a nobody player-insert so I like what they're doing with him by basically just making him take on the personality of the actor who's playing him a he does when a player plays Minecraft as him.
The only reason they call them "kids movies" instead of "family friendly movies"
is because they know no one else in the family would want to watch it. It's garbage only a kid could enjoy.
Minecraft story mode was made better than the trailer ngl
Well duh it was made by the best single player story game studio to have existed.
Unfortunately their business model wasn’t profitable enough to keep them afloat with the amount of work it takes to make their games.
That’s why story mode died out, along with the walking dead story games which ironically are better than the actual show, along with batman the story game.
Those were some of the of my favorites and unfortunately all no longer continued as the company went under.
@@darth3911 it’s sad to see them good for sure
If Minecraft is not for me then who is it for. Minecraft is a game for everyone regardless what demographic the actual game is.
It's not for me, because I won't watch any movie Jack Black is in.
