Transcripts
Minecraft is one of the most popular
things on the planet kids grow up in
that game they end up more familiar with
the Minecraft world than their own
household like the boogeyman doesn't
exist anymore now it's herobrine or
maybe even that's outdated I don't know
the only thing I know for sure is
Herobrine is real I watched it slit the
throat of my grandfather to squeeze out
the diamonds from his cold corpse point
is Minecraft is huge so it's only a
matter of time before a liveaction movie
was made to capitalize on the success of
the property and rejoice because that
time is now the Minecraft movie trailer
just dropped and the reception has been
lukewarm at Best in fact I'm being
pretty generous by calling it lukewarm
there was about as much cheering for
this as there was when I hit my last
free throw in my high school basketball
career and it was really only my parents
clapping cuz we got blown out in that
final game ever since the film was
announced as a liveaction movie people
were quick to write it off just saying
things like there's no way they'll be
able to make that watchable it'll
probably just be garbage and now that
the teasers dropped that's confirmed lot
of people suspicions that Yep this is
going to be turbo ass Jack Black as
Steve is the biggest one people are
pointing the finger at here so Jack
Black plays Steve for those of you that
don't know Minecraft which is zero
people watching I'll still just show you
anyway this is Steve he's basically just
playing Jack Black but in a blue shirt
it looks like he rolled out of bed and
they gave him this blue shirt instead
all right now you're Steve as if it's
Captain America's shield or something
it's pretty low effort from the costume
Department here that people were making
fun of it'd be like if they made a
liveaction Simpsons Movie and I was cast
as Homer and this was my costume because
Homer also wears a white shirt like
[ __ ] porn parodies put more work into
the costuming like sponge knob Square
nuts they had a whole get up for him
that you could immediately identify as
oh that's supposed to be SpongeBob here
if he didn't say I am Steve I would have
had no [ __ ] clue personally just like
I have no clue who Jason Mimo ised
supposed to be here he looks like a
character I would have made in dress to
impress on Roblox just combining random
[ __ ] onto the character he looks like
someone in the witness protection
program who's going undercover to see a
Credence Clearwater Revival concert but
at the very least that's fun like Jason
Mamoa just being like a you know quirky
zany looking character here in the
trailer like that's interesting Jack
Black and Steve is just man you didn't
even really try like Jack Black is a
huge draw most people really like Jack
Black and he's been in a lot of huge
movies recently if I could I'd ask the
Men in Black to neuralize the knowledge
of Borderlands out of my [ __ ] Cranium
so that way I don't have to remember
that Jack Black was in that atrocity but
he's been in some great films and it
looks like he's the go-to now for these
Studio execs to pick up for children's
movies and based off this teaser this is
very clearly aimed at kids this is made
for toddlers I'm talking like actual mil
milk drinking [ __ ] snot-nosed diaper
soiling children this isn't like the
Super Mario Bros movie where pretty much
anyone of all ages can appreciate that
film this one really seems at least
based on this very first Glimpse that it
is entirely made for kids that love
Minecraft not anyone who loves Minecraft
the style of the film is just also kind
of offputting Danny summed it up best by
saying it looks like a Honda commercial
it also just kind of reminds me of
something Clash of Clans would have
posted on their YouTube channel as like
a Facebook ad or something the animation
style is not revolting or anything
except for this stupid [ __ ] thing but
the integration of liveaction into it
just is not done super well in this
teaser it really looks kind of
haphazardly thrown together like the
liveaction characters just don't blend
with the animation as well as I would
have thought it would this movie would
have been significantly better if it was
just fully animated instead of trying to
chew horn and ham fist in like Jack
Black and Jas Mamoa just for the sake of
having bigname star power draw to it
like they could have voiced in it you
know like I don't know why they didn't
take a page out of the Super Mario Bros
Playbook which was very positively
received absolutely crushed it in the
box office and for some reason Minecraft
completely ignores that comes out here
and shits their whole ass with this
teaser which is not being positively
received if it was fully animated I
think it would have stood a far better
chance ultimately though I don't think
it's going to matter to the main
demographic the movie is trying to
appeal to which is kids they're not
going to care kids will just endlessly
let videos autoplay rotting their
goddamn brains just watching like finger
family or whatever else just happens to
scroll through like they're not going to
be bothered by things like the
liveaction and animation don't work
together super well but just because I'm
not the target audience for this movie
doesn't mean I can't insult it and point
out its shortcomings what are they going
to do have the Enderman come [ __ ] me
this just isn't great looking
and a lot of people aren't very happy
with it especially because apparently
it's been 10 years in the making like
they started scripting this back in 2014
from what I read what a weird use of 10
years what what it seems to me and I
could be totally wrong here I got the
tinf foil hat on for this is they may
have had like a bunch of different
scripts over the course of the decade
and then they started seeing video game
movies succeed like Sonic like detective
Pikachu like Super Mario bro
and then they just started to rush like
okay we need to capitalize on this ASAP
it's hot right now we have to strike
while the iron is hot we got to go and
then they push this out at least that's
the impression I get here who knows
though maybe this was the original
vision from the start all the way back
in 2014 they said we need jablinski
games in here playing Steve regardless
though right now it's only one teaser so
maybe the next one comes out and it's
great it blows us all away you know
maybe the movie comes out and it's
extraordinary but I doubt it and many
others are doubting it as well that's
about it see you
