My thoughts on this minecraft live :3

Okay so like, the pre-show was neat, not so annoyingly long so that was pog. I loved that they talked like at a slower more comfortable pace during the show, much easier to hear, and they actually had in sync subtitles this time :3 Bundles of bravery pog, we love more parity and bundles are always neat :3 The minecraft movie does sound more interesting now so that's cool And like the VR experience thing sounds super interesting. The pale garden looks cool, it's different which is nice, more blocks at our disposal and they're a bit different :3 And like the eerie vibes! and the pale moss stuff will be so cool for halloween themed stuff! And the creaking! It's so interesting! Not only does it not move when you look at it, it's also connected to a block and dies when you break that which is a very interesting mechanic, and I'm really happy you can take that with you :3 All in all, I'm happy, I'd have loved an End Update even though I know my headcanons probably don't align, but hey that's part of the game yk :3 I'm excited :3

the thing i immediately LOVE about the pale garden and the creaking is that it kinda feels to me like they're trying to emulate the creep factor that old minecraft had. the low visibility, the emptiness, the unfamiliar sounds, the feeling that something else is there just out of sight... the same elements that led to the rise of herobrine and other stories, and are now seeing a resurgence with the rise of args and digital horror series. looking into a dark forest and seeing a set of glowing eyes staring back at you is the exact same horror that herobrine was built on. seeing them showcase this biome felt like a throwback all the way to back when i first booted up the game more than a decade ago and felt an immense sense of unease as i looked to the horizon, and i absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on this update.

so some scattered thoughts on the minecraft movie...

honestly? the set design actually looks really good. the trailer was a horrible cgi-fest and that's not a good sign for the movie, but i think if they leaned more on the practical stuff it could actually come out pretty good, visually.

the weird crafting scene with jason momoa was supposed to be nonsense, and having seen the extended scene now... why didn't they just use the part with jack black making the sword? that makes much more sense as a trailer shot instead of giving us a punchline that doesn't work without the setup.

"we've always said that steve isn't really a character. steve is what you make him, right? and we've all been steve and embodied steve and done different things." wow, what an genuinely insightful analysis of what steve represents to the game of minecraft. hopefully the next sentence out of your mouth explains how you hope to represent that in the movie. "so, uh, our steve in the movie is jack black."

"we wanted to do live action because minecraft creators have already done so much with animation" (paraphrased). yeah??? there's a fucking reason for that!

actually i'll give them the "normal people thrown into the world" thing. their logic of using it for a theme of escapism makes more sense for minecraft than it would for basically any other video game.

i feel like i had more to say but i don't have any more mental energy to spend on this for now

the pale garden

I kind of like these smaller MC updates, 'cos like it's so much easier as someone with little time to check out a single biome for a bit than explore like 10 different things.
