#If this is the trailer then that's huge

[pestercide]

Spooky Month 5 had a trailer, right?

If so,, one of my friends found a reupload of it on Youtube,,

But I want confirmation on whether this is real or not before I put it on the archive,, I wasn't there when the trailer dropped so I can't confirm myself. Here's the reupload though. I downloaded it to my laptop just in case for now

The Minecraft Movie If It Was Good:

(It should've been an artsy stop-motion film in the Wes Anderson style)

Stop Motion wouldn't have been any more expensive than rendering everything in horrifying realistic CGI, the medium would easily work with Minecraft's blocky aesthetic, and it appeals to both old and young demographics. Plus, you don't need a bloated live-action blockbuster for a Minecraft film to get attention, it's already the best-selling game of all time.

For the story, I'd mirror the average player's first experience with Minecraft by focusing on Steve finding himself alone in this vast, strange world. At-first he's focused on surviving through trial and error, then gradually he begins to wonder where he came from and what his purpose is. He explores the world seeking answers, and finally realizes that "purpose" is something he must give himself.

Just like life, Minecraft is a sandbox game where you must make your own fun.

By utilizing minimal dialogue, an ageless medium, and centring around the fundamental human angst of 'why are we here,' the film (just like the game) could have had a universal and timeless appeal.

Instead we got THIS:

So I was pondering just why I like Style so much and why his specific "failings" and imperfections are so compelling to me - and I think it's because all the other main characters are flawed in ways that are obvious but not very relatable.

Fadel and Bison are murders. Regardless of their motivations and how much they buy into Mama Lilly's propaganda, they still have taken lives and do so with little remorse. Kant is actively lying to, manipulating and taking advantage of Bison and Style (his supposed best friend) for his own ends with seemingly very little compunction. Yes, he's got his reasons; but still.

And then you have Style. His major flaw is that he is thoughtless and selfish and he doesn't seem to understand how to leash in his impulsive desires. This means he constantly ignores or crosses Fadel's boundaries to the point that, by the end of episode 3, is genuinely hurtful. All the same, compared to the things Fadel, Bison, and Kant have done and are still doing (reminder: ep 3 opened with another murder/assassination), this is relatively tame.

But that's precisely why I think people are being so harsh to him vs the other characters. Many of us have felt like the victim of someone like this because it's so common and so we relate to Fadel's frustration and then hurt and anger, and that makes Style actions feel painful in a way that’s personal. Few of us have been victims of the level of violence or manipulation that Fadel and Bison and Kant are dishing out.

Yet that's precisely why I like Style - he's imperfect in ways that add realistic complexity to his character. Why would we expect a character who is bold, brash, and impulsive to also be thoughtful and considerate?? He acts before he can think about things: that's the whole point of his character. He juxtaposes Fadel perfectly because Fadel "plans everything down from years, months, weeks to days" and Style hasn't acted with more than 8 seconds of forethought in his life. It’s part of what makes him perfect for Kant's plan in the first place.

But then, but THEN once Style begins interacting with Fadel, we start to get moments when Style seems to still and become intensely focused - most notably:

Right after the confrontation in the locker rooms (sadly I don't think anyone's gif'ed this yet, so screenshots it is!)...

…after his conversation with Bison about Fadel…

…and when he watches Fadel beat 3 guys up with ease.

We are watching Style find reasons to grow. We are seeing moments when he’s catching himself, slowing down, thinking, wondering. And while it initially starts with curiosity, he so quickly falls into fascination and obsession, and by the end of episode 3 it’s clear he wants more. It's not just about understanding Fadel anymore, Style wants to have him for himself. And if he's going to be something meaningful to Fadel he’s going to have to mature.

This is why I find Style so interesting and so fun to watch. He’s loud, in your face, and obnoxious so the layers aren’t as obvious. We think there’s nothing more there, but his complexity is deceptively hidden while they’re ironically much clearer in the quiet characters like Fadel and Kant.

And I don't think it's unreasonable to expect this growth. Style is written TO HAVE ROOM TO GROW. And, yes, I do think Style is going to rise gloriously to the challenge. We already have hints that this is precisely where the narrative means to take him:

(Fuck, look at how soft and earnest Style's expression is in the left screenshot. ;A;)

He’s by no means perfect but that gives him space to have a hell of a character arc and I, for one, can’t wait for it. 🙌

The worst critics won't be the movie critics that make it their job, it's the person who had a Minecraft phase at 10 and has to experience THAT movie...

I don't see this talked about often in the english side of the fandom, as this tidbit got lost in translation, but:

In the japanese versions for both texts and voice lines in the middle-aged opposites venet, kabu addresses larry with "—kun (くん)" in their second meeting in front of the restaurant. It's a japanese honorific to address someone who is a junior than you, in terms of either age or work experience/status. Inferring from this, kabu may either (1) be slightly older than larry in age (as I think they both have equal years of experience, just that larry happened be slightly superior to kabu in terms of their workplace status because he is also an elite four member), (2) be that friendly and warm as a person that he calls larry with "—kun (くん)" right away in the second part of their event's story, or (3) both.

Take what you will from this, friends! 🫡

so, after watching episodes one and two, it's coming off as they know what scenes are important, but they don't know why. the changes made to the story are therefore pretty flat. if you're a casual enjoyer and haven't read the books in a while and are just here to have fun, you'll probably like it. if you're like me and enjoy media analysis and have a strong grasp on the themes, messages, and subtleties of the book series, you probably won't.
