pov: one of your favorite pieces of media is getting a crappy live action remake

[captaincalamity]

this makes it sound like he was fucking sniffing around the set searching for lapis lazuli and that’s so much funnier than reality

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

piglins presumably only attack players because their societies were literally ravaged by them ToT materially but also virally since we know for pretty much fact that the zombified piglins are a product of nether portal contamination. They won’t attack you though if you wear gold to show you’re peaceful, and we also know gold presumably holds some sort of significance to them due to how they exclusively use it in their bastions for iconography/statues/art or literal tools, along with how they attack players for harvesting it but not other materials such as quartz or netherrack.

To turn them into a seemingly mindless villain hoard, and to put them in the overworld, is mindnumbingly stupid and frustrating.

DUDE the minecraft movie trailer pisses me the FUCK OFFFF DUDE IT LOOKS SO BAD 😭😭😭😭 this is why minecraft story mode is PEAK everyone should play mcsm 💚💚💚it’s the best Minecraft movie yall will get that isn’t that live action slop with jack black🙏🔥🔥

Anyways I’m reallyyy upset that the mc movie is going to be LIVE ACTION of all things.. the movie being live action just takes away the entire charm of Minecraft it just doesn’t WORK in my opinion and it sucks that we have two really good Minecraft 3d animation styles to work off of 💔💔

I’ve said this so many times but a 3d Minecraft movie would have just worked so much better??? Especially looking at some of the amazing 3d animated movies we’ve gotten in the last couple years

Honestly, despite a vast amount rambling about it, I think Herobrine shouldn't be in the Minecraft movie.

Herobrine shouldn't be present or even acknowledged in any official media whatsoever except little tiny snippets and easter eggs. Let him be a ghost of a presence.

I feel confirming his existence and establishing him as a character robs him of being the myth, the legend he is. There really is no bigger picture and most things people agree on still are just popular fan interpretations that stuck around or stem from popular videos or something.

Herobrine is vague. He can be shaped into any interpretation you have for him and it still makes sense. A ghost. A dead brother. A glitch. A griefer. A tragic figure. An error in the game. A ruler of mobs. A hacker. A demon. A prototype. A virus. A player stuck. A king of the nether. A trickster. A god.

If he ends up in any bigger role in official media instead of being a figure in the fog, suddenly all the mystery is shattered. Suddenly there is a canon.

And I don't want that.

Ppl in 2020: if you like Minecraft YouTubers you should kill yourself NOWWWWW

Those same ppl now: so are you taking the chicken or the beef

[skelet-bone]

in my humble opinion, minecraft has plenty of material to make a movie out of, it just has to be an artistic movie that is damn near silent all the time. also animated

like imagine a man wakes up alone not remembering who he is, he’s scared but ultimately finds a way to live, getting a dog, building a farm etc. one day while exploring he finds that he’s not the only person alive, he finds alex who’s been living with villagers.

imagine the movie deals with themes of mortality and immortality and being higher level beings. why are steve and alex different from villagers and pillagers? why are there lost civilizations? and what’s with the other dimensions? who were these old beings? are they one of them?

it could be a beautiful movie about purpose and how to live. especially with that end poem. the take away is you make you’re own meaning. or something like that

but no. we have jack black building blocks and shit.

You know how when there’s a movie in a movie or a tv show in a tv show it’s some absurd tongue-in-cheek caricature of movies and usually some kind of commentary on the low standards of the entertainment industry

That’s what the Minecraft movie looks like
