you know you've done fucked up when a fan remake of a game that hasnt had an update in 7 years looks 10000x more aesthetically pleasing than a minute long trailer made by a multi million dollar film studio featuring an extremely popular actor.
You know what? Maybe I was being too over protective of MCSM when the remake trailer came out. Cuz by comparison to the ACTUAL Minecraft movie… yeah I can see the passion being put into the fan made project. I still don’t like the direction they’re going with the remake… but now those fears feel far less important when I see the horror and revulsion that this gross green-screen nightmare produced in me.
And I’m big enough to admit I was probably overreacting.
So thank you Warner Bros and Jack Black for showing me HOW BAD a Minecraft movie truly could be. That gave me some much needed perspective.
With the release of the "Block by Block - The Amulet" teaser trailer, I got inspired to draw the MCSM characters again, but this time with their new designs.
The trailers for “A Minecraft Movie” and “Block By Block The Amulet” being released around the same time is wild. It really feels like one of those “Balanced As It Should Be” moments. We’re getting an ugly live action Minecraft movie, but we’re also getting a beautifully animated Minecraft Story Mode series.
I'm honestly pretty stoked for Block by Block. I mean, it'll basically be a fanmade reboot of MCSM. It won't be replacing the original games, but it's just a reimagining of many of the same concepts but with some new twists.
I'm actually pretty excited to see phantoms be used, because I think they're cool and have an interesting game mechanic. Especially when our main characters will be going through the apocalypse, basically.
I'm counting this as another AU in the Jesseverse, because that's what it is, essentially. It doesn't make the original game any less valuable.
And if you don't like it, that's completely fine too! But like with whatever the heck is happening shipping war-wise right now, we all just need to learn to accept the fact that a lot of us have different opinions from one another, but that doesn't mean it's okay to attack someone for liking something that you don't. Ignoring and/or blocking people/tags you don't wanna see is fine.
