If it looks bad, it looks bad, that's it.

Puglins simply have their culture, they wear gold, if you don't wear gold, your disrespecting them, so they attack you, if you loot their things, they attack, that's it! They're not evil.

Can. Can like. Can they stop making Piglins bad guys in like everything that isn’t just normal Minecraft. I love those little fuckers. They’re so silly. Just wear gold and they’re nice to you until you loot their shit. It’s that simple. They just doing their best. I love them dearly and want good things for them.

(Yes this is about the Minecraft movie trailer how could you tell-)

The Minecraft movie........

I have played Minecraft for as long as I can remember. My brother and I would spend hours on Hypixel, our survival world, and building escape rooms for each other (the exit would no doubt be behind a painting). As a movie fanatic, a film about Minecraft sounds like such a fun concept with great potential yet from the look from the teaser trailer it seems like all that potential will remain unused.

Link to the trailer if you haven't seen it yet!

Plenty of people have already commented on how it looks, which let’s be frank, is terrible. This post, however, is not about the look but the story so here is a summary: The set design is quite nice except it does not look like any Minecraft biome. The people look extremely out of place, especially Steve who is supposed to be part of this world. Last but not least, there are moving, working windmills. Anyone who has played Minecraft will probably feel the same way about this, which is not happy. This is the main problem, the makers have maybe watched 1 Let’s Play. They don’t know the Minecraft experience. They haven’t played hardcore survival and felt the pain when you die because your elytra breaks, they have never gone mining at 2 am on a rainy night or have built a beautiful base they a proud of.

Which brings us to the soulless plot. For anyone unfamiliar, this is what Warner Bros. describes it as: “Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, Henry, Natalie and Dawn—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve. Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.”

That made me throw up in my mouth a little. Minecraft is such a fun and unique game and this is what they come up with? Minecraft is a game about being creative and there are literally endless possibilities. This plot has nothing to do with the actual game and could be applied to any video game. Speaking of other games, it hasn’t escaped anyone’s notice that this is the exact plot of the movie Jumanji.

I’m secretly hoping they pull a Sonic and fix the movie at the last minute but I don’t think that is realistic. I don’t think all is lost though, Emma Myers (who plays Natalie) is, in my opinion, a great addition to the cast and is funny and talented. The rest of the cast isn’t much to write home about, unfortunately. As stated before, I do think the set has a cool look to it, it is just a shame that it doesn’t look like Minecraft.

Here is what I would do if I were in charge:

Firstly the whole cast is going. I would make it an animated film, Minecraft isn’t a realistic game and it doesn’t come across well in live-action. Steve and Alex would be the main characters.

The movie would have an entirely different plot and would either focus on Steve and Alex trying to defeat the Enderdragon for the first time, etc. (I think this is a bit basic but sometimes less is more)

Or it could be about the lore of the Enderdragon, Endermen, Ghasts, etc. and what happened to them and how they ended up where they are. There are so many theories about this online and it’s a side of that Minecraft hasn't been explored yet.

Another option could be about the villagers and pillagers. It would be cool to see more of their history and maybe Steve meddling to make peace or something in that direction. Think about how cool raids could be in movie form.

(see how I just thought of 3 way more original and fun plots off the top of my head when the writers couldn’t think of a singular one in months)-

A MUST for me is the classic Minecraft music. It should be in the trailer, in the movie, it should be everywhere. It is so nostalgic and everyone who has ever played Minecraft knows how iconic it is. (not saying it is not in the movie right now, I obviously haven’t seen it yet but wanted to include this point)

I think it could be cool if, for example, Steve would find a new biome or a new item and then we would get it in the game in an update. It would show a real connection between the movie and the game which is missing right now. (again not saying they won’t do this but I’m not getting my hopes up)

Besides all this, it would be amazing to see jokes and references to the actual game. Think forgetting to set your spawnpoint, inventory being full, etc.

And lastly, I NEED to see Minecraft YouTuber's references. I think they might do this, I’ve seen multiple YouTubers talk about the movie and I know Mumbo visited the set, so there is a possibility. Minecraft has one of the biggest YouTube communities, not referencing it would be a missed opportunity for sure.

I don’t think this movie will be especially bad, from the looks of it, it’s going to be a whole lot of meh. I do want to say that I have not seen the movie yet as it isn’t out yet, this means that a lot could still change (please please please). I will be in the cinema on April 4th with low expectations but high hopes, I have never wanted to be wrong more. Let me know what you think and thank you for reading all the way to the end <3

As always, this is MY opinion. Feel free to disagree but remember: It is a game about blocks, it's not that important (she says after ranting about it for like 2 hours lmao).

I really don't like how piglins get portrayed as aggressive barbarian enemies now. Did they forget that they don't attack without being provoked and you can have positive interactions with them in-game?

[rei-on-minecraft]

NO, YOU ARE NOT!!!! YOU ARE FAMOUS HOLLYWOOD ACTOR JACK BLACK!!! YOU ARE A BEARDED WHITE MAN IN A BLUE SHIRT!!! STEVE IS A SILENT, BEARDLESS BROWN-SKINNED MAN!!! YOU CAN'T FOOL ME!!!

[rei-on-minecraft]

REAL, but please stop using the fandom wiki, use the new one (you can see the difference because it's not on the fandom site, it's nusf "the minecraft wiki")

But I can't tell you what to do, this is just a suggestion

I absolutely LOVE Jack Black to bits. Dude has a special place in my heart.

But this is NOT Steve.

I'm sorry, but I just can't accept Steve getting whitewashed in an official piece of media of this franchise. Steve has been whitewashed enough number of times in the fandom, but this is just abhorrent.

Yesterday night and today afternoon I played Minecraft (minigames) with a new friend of mine, best feeling in weeks, he's also very cool and accepts me the way I am.

Minecraft movie trailer was just a bad dream.

[rei-on-minecraft]

Felt like reblogging this on both my blogs, don't mind me

okay, i've had a moment to collect my feelings and,

this movie looks so unprofessional like...

blue light is being cast on her hair from the portal that is clearly not casting a blue light on the environment.

the creeper is backlit by a soft blue light, while this goober is clearly backlit by a harsh white light.

also, the whole thing is backlit! nobody has light on their face in this trailer!

even here, you can clearly see the light is behind everyone, but they are supposedly facing eachother!?

why does this look like this!? why even bother with live action actors when the whole movie is animated!? and don't even get me started on the animation.

there's nothing technically wrong with the models... but it all looks so "minceraft mobs if dey wur reel!!1!"

i swear i saw this same sheep render in, like 2015.

This is my skin:

I have purple hair to match my cape and because purple is my fav color. My hoodie has the colors of the genderqueer flag. I have ears because why not (I'm not a furry or a tharian, but they look good)

My IGN (in-game name) is ImRei

I usually wear the twitch cape, because it matches my hair, but I also wear my Optifine cape, which I change often

I managed to get on every single MCC Event mini-game sign

it's not as easy as you might think, and don't ask me why i did it.

that is not my actual skin, but I can't use mine on that server
