#ALSO at least in the case of smps /mcsm it actually uses the setting to its full advantage

see the craziest thing about how godawful the new Minecraft movie looks is that,, there’s already a plethora of good Minecraft media they could have pulled inspo from or just adapted. Like not even smp stuff just like the dozen of dozen of good Minecraft books/series. (Shoutout to the Elementia Chronicles and the Max Brook books). And then there’s Minecraft story mode which has no right to slap as much as it does and tells cohesive heart wrenching stories in an engaging fashion and style. And then there’s all the Minecraft creepypastas/args, smps, and all other creations that use Minecraft as a springboard to create wonderful machinima type movies (whitepine save me, whitepine). Theres so many stories out there and somehow the Minecraft movie seems to be missing something that all these other series have. (Love for the source material)
