ROD HALLETT + NICHOLAS GALITZINE 2014 • Legends • S2·EP5 • dir. Jon Jones

[rudolphsb9]

Watching a James Tullos video and he made a point about the right-wing thriller genre's obsession with the nonexistent Iraqi WMDs and I just had a flashback to Legends, where a major plot point of the show was the WMDs, and the stolen hush money bc the PMC wanted to start a war.

Minecraft Legends Chucks Devs' Picks Down an Ice Chute, Enters Maintenance Mode

Heads up, blocky brigade! Mojang and Blackbird just dropped the ice pick on further development for Minecraft Legends, sending it into sweet, sweet maintenance mode. This frosty update means the crew’s moving on to greener pastures (or fiery nether dimensions, who knows?), leaving Legends in its (arguably) final state: polished, pixelated perfection. Sure, some adventurers might be hollering for…

Der Zug am Ende der Welt fährt in den Abgrund namens Warner-Discovery - Was wird aus Staffel 4 von “Snowpiercer”?

Ich nehme an, ich bin selbst Schuld, weil ich es letzte Woche ja selbst gesagt habe: 2023 ist nicht anders als 2022 - Ich hätte wirklich gerne einmal über etwas anderes als Warner-Discovery und deren Untaten geschrieben, aber ... tja.

Eine Woche nach der Behauptung, dass die große Cancellation-Welle von Warner-Discovery vorbei wäre, stellt sich heraus das das eine simple Lüge war. Denn TNT hat bekannt gegeben, dass Warner-Discovery ihnen verboten hat die fertig gestellte 4. und finale Staffel von “Snowpiercer” auszustrahlen, da sie die Produktion als Steuerabschreibung nutzen wollen. Normalerweise erscheinen die neuen Staffeln von “Snowpiercer” ja immer im Januar, da für dieses Jahr nichts angekündigt war, haben Fans und Brancheninsider spekuliert, dass die 4. Staffel später dran sein wird und bereits ein fiktives Start-Datum festgelegt, doch dann gab es Gestern diese News.

Im Gegensatz zu den anderen Opfern von Warner-Discoverys Strategie Geld zu sparen indem man zuvor Geld für Dinge, die nie wer zu Gesicht bekommt, ausgibt, hat “Snowpiercer” aber eine Chance auf eine Zukunft, da die Staffel mitsamt den Franchise-Rechten von einer anderen Firma gekauft wurde, die nun auf der Suche nach einer neuen Heimat für die Serie ist. Ob sie diese finden wird, ist eine andere Frage, aber momentan besteht Hoffnung.

Aber leider stellt sich das Problem, dass das heißt, dass die USA die vierte Staffel von “Snowpiercer” vielleicht doch noch zu sehen bekommen wird, aber der Rest der Welt möglicherweise nicht, da niemand weiß, was das alles für Netflix bedeutet. Netflix war bisher nämlich für die internationale Ausstrahlung der Serie zuständig. Da wir aber die Details des dazu abgeschlossenen Vertrags nicht kennen, wissen wir nicht, ob dieser mit TNT oder Warner speziell abgeschlossen war und damit nun verfällt, wenn die Serie zu einem anderen Besitzer wechselt. Tatsächlich ist es sogar wahrscheinlich, dass das der Fall ist, denn meistens sind solche Verträge so abgefasst, dass sie “Besitzerwechsel” nicht mit abdecken. Das heißt, dass wir hier nichts davon haben, dass jemand “Snowpiercer” retten will, weil wir es im Endeffekt vielleicht gar nicht mehr sehen können. In der USA war “Snowpiercer” auf HBOmax zu Streamen, ist das aber schon länger nicht mehr, weil die Serie einer unter vielen ist, die im Lauf der letzten Monate stillschweigend vom Streaming Service gelöscht wurden. Insofern hat momentan also niemand die US-Streaming-Rechte. Das würde bedeuten, dass die naheliegendste Lösung, die für alle das Beste wäre, die wäre, dass Netflix “Snowpiercer” auch in der USA übernimmt und zugleich die internationalen Rechte behält. Nur leider ist das zwar die offensichtliche Lösung, aber nicht unbedingt die, die es dann werden wird.

Tatsächlich würde es für Netflix erheblich billiger kommen als normalerweise “Snowpiercer” zu retten. Für “Lucifer”, “Designated Survivor” und “Manifest” mussten sie alle die “Abschlussstaffel” (im Fall von “Lucifer wurden es dann ja drei dieser Abschluss-Staffeln) produzieren, im Fall von “Snowpiercer” gibt es die Staffel bereits, sie müssten also viel weniger Geld hinein stecken, und auch weniger Promotion betreiben, weil der Rest der Welt die Serie ja sowieso schon als Netflix-Original verkauft bekommt.

Nur leider ist das genau die Variante, die vermutlich nicht geschehen wird. Immerhin hat Netflix trotz der Tatsache, dass die die Streaming-Rechte bereits haben und es großte internationale Fan-Basen gibt keine einzige der CW-Serien, die bei der roten Hochzeit ermordet wurde, gerettet. Fans waren sowohl bei “Legends of Tomorrow”, “Legacies, “Roswell, New Mexico” als auch “In the Dark” der Meinung, dass Netflix der beste Kandidat für die Rettung dieser Serien ist, aber keine einzige wurde vom Streaming Service gerettet. Und dann ist da nach der Zwischenfall aus dem Jahr zuvor, als Netflix “Star Trek: Discovery” ohne Vorwarnung an Paramount+ abgegeben hat, das es zu diesem Zeitpunkt in so gut wie keinen Land außerhalb der USA gab, und das nur wenige Tage vor dem geplanten Beginn der Ausstrahlung der vierten Staffel. Netflix hatte bereits die deutsche (und vermultich diverse anders sprachliche) Tonspur produziert und auch Teile der Produktionskosten der Staffel gestellt, trotzdem haben sie sich ausbezahlen lassen und diverse Kunden verägert, die ihr Abonnent dezitiert wegen der neuen Staffel “Discovery” abgeschlossen hatten.

Das alles sind Indekatoren dafür, dass es dem Streaming Serive schnuppe ist, was die User wollen und was für sie selbst finanziell Sinn machen würde - sie tun was weniger anstrengend ist und auf lange Sicht Sinn zu machen scheint, weil das irgendein Zahlenjongleur behauptet.

Soll heißen, dass wir bei “Snowpiercer” im Grunde genau das Selbe erleben werden wie damals bei “Star Trek: Discovery”: Die Serie wurde uns drei Jahre als Netflix Original verkauft, doch Staffel 4 kommt trotz Ankündigung für das Jahr, dann im letzten Moment doch nicht. Stattdessen wandert sie etwas verspätet wo anders hin.

Ironischerweise kommt diese Entwicklung bei “Snowpiercer” nicht aus dem Nichts. Die News dass TNT umstrukturiert wird und fiktionalen Content aufgibt, gab es schon während den Dreharbeiten der vierten Staffel und hatte schon damals das Problem aufgeworfen, dass diese dort dann möglicherweise nicht mehr a ausgestrahlt werden könnte. Dann mussten die Dreharbeiten auch noch wegen einer Hitzewelle [!] unterbrochen werden. Und dann sahen wir dabei zu wie HBOmax und dann auch noch HBO Stück für Stück zerlegt wurde.

Ironischerweise hieß es dann, dass “Snowpiercer” zwar eingestellt wird, aber die vierte Staffel eben doch noch auf TNT laufen wird. Und jetzt sehen wir, was daraus geworden ist.

Falls “Snowpiercer” eine neue Heimat findet, kann die deutsche Version von Staffel 4 im Grunde überall landen. “Star Trek: Discovery” landete damals auf PlutoTV. Ob Staffel 5 dort auch ausgestrahlt werden wird, oder ob die nur exklusiv auf Paramount+ zu streamen sein wird, weiß momentan aber niemand. Dafür hat PlutoTV verlautbaren lassen, dass sie Interesse daran hätten “Legends of Tomorrow” zu retten, was vor allem daran scheitern könnte, dass PlutoTV eigentlich noch nie irgendetwas selbst produziert hat. In der Lage dazu wären sie allerdings. Und wenn die Oberen Etagen einverstanden wären, wäre das vielleicht eine neue internationale Plattform für Serienprojekte. Sollen sie mal einen Abschlussfilm oder gar eine kurze finale Staffel ausprobieren, Hauptsache wir kriegen ein Ende, und mehr als scheitern können sie damit nicht. Passieren wird es jedoch vermutlich nicht, aber es wäre irgendwie ironisch, wenn dieses kleine Gratis-Internet-TV, das auch über Antenne empfangbar ist, plötzlich der Retter vom Genre-TV werden sollte. Vielleicht gibt es dort in Zukunft einen Arrowverse-Sender und sogar die finale Staffel von “Snowpiercer”.

Wenn man bedenkt wie seltsam die letzten zwei Jahre waren, dann wäre das nicht auszuschließen. Realitisch betrachtet wird die vierte Staffel von “Snowpiercer” aber vermutich überhaupt nirgendwo laufen, weder in der USA noch hier, und niemand wird “Legends of Tomorrow” retten und die fünfte Staffel von “Star Trek: Discovery” wird nur auf Paramount+ streamen und bei uns vielleicht in drei Jahren auf Tele5 als Free-TV-Premiere nachgereicht.

Aber wer will in Zeiten wie diesen schon realistisch sein?

ROUND ONE -- Zelink/Shink (Link and Zelda/Link and Sheik) VS. Peter Parker and Harry Osborn

[hermitcraftx]

Actually, no, I'm not done talking about the Minecraft Movie. I'm so incredibly angry about what could have been. Rant incoming, sorry to any and all witnesses. All ye who enter here abandon all hope.

The Lego Movie was a good movie because it was an homage to animators and the community it had built up during the years, was genuinely very well animated and had good plot points despite maintaining its humor, and was a good watch to people who didn't even like Legos. It did have a couple big name actors placed in there to draw views (i.e. Will Ferrell) but for the most part the movie was completely animated with very sparse real life moments that worked very well to tie into the narrative the movie was creating. You're a little kid and the world is so big and angry and full of structure, and you just want to create the things you want to see without being told what to do. Emmett is an ordinary guy told he's special as a lie to get him to comply with what Vitruvius wanted, the same way he complied with orders his entire life, and he defeated that cycle of thinking by showing kindness despite his terrible treatment, unlike Lord Business (i.e. Will Ferrell). It worked astoundingly well to create something that ticked a lot of boxes: narratively sound, incredibly pleasing to look at, funny, and capable of handling serious topics despite being a Kid's Movie.

The Minecraft Movie... does none of that. There are no well placed homages or tributes to a loving community that has been built up for well over a decade. There are no callbacks to Minecraft animations, to any of the Minecraft covers that were a staple of early Minecraft, no references or respects paid to anybody that has been a big name in the community. For fuck's sake, they didn't even put Herobrine is. Herobrine is, to be frank, the most basic Minecraft reference they could have input into this movie as a subtle nod to the community that almost everyone would have understood, and I remain disappointed.

The art style isn't respectful of Minecraft animators at all, instead vaguely resembling AI slop where they tasked it to make Minecraft in real life with realistic shader packs as the references. To be quite frank, it is a spit in the face of almost every creative person in the community. It's disrespectful to the animators, the parody creators, the modpack creators (highly unlikely but I really hope they get in deep shit for using some of them as references, because it's almost uncanny how similar they look), the Minecraft content creationists, everybody. I know they let a scant few Minecraft youtubers on set, but still.... no well hidden easter eggs? No CaptainSparklez logo? No Yogscast? No EthosLab tnt slab? Not even any of the newer youtubers that have made the Minecraft scene up for the past several years. (Not talking about the green guy, god, no, I'm very grateful for that in fact. But nobody at all? Seriously?) I get that it's a MINECRAFT movie, not a Minecraft youtuber movie, and is supposed to be well-digestible for the average audience that isn't familiar with Minecraft, but there are very easy ways to implement this. Most people would at the very least be happy to see a couple seconds of community references, regardless of what they were. Again, NO HEROBRINE? What the fuck are the Warner Bros doing.

There appears to be no strong structural narrative that ties into the base game either, despite there being a... relatively straightforward way to implement one? Look, man, the game literally has objectives for you, despite being relatively sandbox. You spawn in, you chop wood, mine for diamonds, and fight monsters, you go to the Nether, you beat the dragon. The piglins as an element outside of the Nether don't make sense as gameplay wise they zombify, which has been mentioned a lot, true, but I haven't seen ANYONE mention that they could just... I don't know... Go to the fucking Nether!? Why is the plot line being pulled from Minecraft Legends, a game that everyone thought was boring and forgot about instantly? Why are Mojang and Microsoft trying so hard to branch out from base game Minecraft? So far it looks to just be a bullshit poorly carried out isekai movie with a bunch of big name actors, one liners, shitty quips and "he's right behind me isn't he"s. There's no SERIOUS plot beat at all, not even getting a feeling that this might be any more than "uh oh, they're stuck in Minecraft and piglins are trying to kill them!"

The CGI is terrible. Just incredibly poorly implemented. The people look gigantic at the start and it's not immersed at all, it genuinely looks like some of the worst green screen work I've ever seen. They look like they're standing on a rug.

I don't know. It just makes me incredibly angry. There's a deep lack of understanding and appreciation for the game, and that sounds childish, but I think it is decently imperative to at least understand the basics of Minecraft before you make a game on it. Most people under the age of 30 understand at least a little bit about Minecraft, and if they don't, it is your job to make it enjoyable for them! You can make a story about a man that washes up in a strange world and goes to kill a dragon. Everyone can understand that. That's a very basic story that we've been milking for literally hundreds of fucking years. Nothing in the trailer resembles Minecraft at ALL, it was genuinely unrecognizable and alien to me when I first saw it. The trailers don't have a strong resemblance to Minecraft either, but it's there, and they could have honestly just based it off mostly the trailers and that would have been better? Making the movie fully animated would have given it charm and appealed to kids in the same way, and they could have pulled a Lego Movie and done an in person sequence with Jack Black at some point. I don't know. I don't understand a single cinematic decision in making this film.

A lot of people wanted a deep somber animated film about Steve exploring the loneliness and solitude of the world he's in, trying to thrive and create in spite of that, and while I agree that would be incredible, there is just no universe where that would happen in. But that doesn't mean this is excusable. There are so many better ways to execute and implement the ideas that would do well in big theater for a kid's game and it looks like they spat on those ideas and put them in a blender. It's almost comical how bad the movie is: and such a huge, SAD fucking jump from Warner Bros blowing it out of the water with the Barbie Movie last year. My young cousin finds the pink sheep scary and wanted me to turn it off when we showed it to her. There is truly no audience that I feel this appeals to in a meaningful way, and I hope it flops like Morbius. I hope Microsoft and Warner Bros go bankrupt from this.

All in all, it's a terrible example of a game that has been near and dear to a lot of people's hearts and a significant portion of a lot of people's childhoods and makes a mockery of the people that enjoy it, I feel. It's like if The Mario Movie and Jumanji had a terrible, terrible baby. Unless their plan was to get so much negative attention that hoardes of people go to hate watch it, I have no fucking idea who the hell let any of this be released to the public.

Don't go watch it. Don't give these people your money. Demand better for your community and your fans. Hold Microsoft and Warner Bros accountable for bad quality. Microsoft has been a fucking nightmare since... forever, really, but Mojang has really suffered under their iron fist rule for a long time now. Microsoft has been trying to push Mojang to other games and Mojang, due to Microsoft's restrictions, is unable to function as it's own entity anymore. Any drama with updates? Updates too long? Missing out on content from certain updates? Caused by the copyright being owned by Microsoft. Make no mistake, I'm not defending Mojang, they aren't a small little indie company like they say they are- they're owned by one of the biggest goddamn companies in the world. Microsoft has been working on this movie for a goddamn decade and has been working on this concept specifically for almost four years, and this is what they came up with? It's nightmarish. Knowing them they'll try and push it onto the people that actually play the game too, god forbid.

Don't let them ruin our game. Don't give them your money. Watch something worth your time.

LOL Also the way Grian and Mumbo just pranced and loudly announced their perfect baiting of the tnt trap... and then had the audacity to be shocked when jimmy set off the minecart... what goes on in their brains I wonder. Can't believe the session ended even more clownish than how it started. From Matrix soundtrack to Circus music

Bdubs really committed to the Gandalf bit: didn’t let Joel pass and also fell into the depths. Also the range on his vocal emotional tones from saying goodbye to Scar and immediately switching to indignant offense at Gem is so good! Also how are those 3 like this. How long have they been professional minecrafters. They are literally the redstone - builders legends....

Joel really is a sucker for his wife. Lizzie really just did the whole honeypot / I'm baby pwease and he just folded like a tissue.

Scar giving up on his failed traps and just going for the pvp kill was not the pro gamer move I expected but nonetheless it's still funny and on brand. And that Lion King Mufasa kill on Etho was well deserved. Etho looking like a parkour master while still committing to the life's tuff bit was truly magnificent. The fact that every red and yellow in the vicinity went straight for his throat was also absolutely fantastic and honestly deserved.

Pearl on her "god forbid women do anything" villain arc. Cleo living in her reality tv drama. Gem not even trying to save herself because these idiots need a win after everything.
