Not just the costumes. They green screened the fuck out of that scene. Wonder if they shot the whole thing on a sound stage and tried to AI in the entirety of the background? This has all the earmarks of a "Are you piggies willing to pay $20 a ticket for entrance to the slop show?"

They made the Willy Wonka Meth Lab version of Minecraft?

Why is it live action? Why does Jason Momoa look like an extra from the Barbie movie? Why does this exist? Just why?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

That’s Jason Momoa!? Look at how they massacred my boy… 😭

Just learned about it and my thought is: shit my kids probably are gonna love it and I will have to watch it eventually.

i really hope his whole character isn’t just a “man in dress” “joke”

[–] Soulg 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is it even a dress? Thought it was a pink suit jacket kinda thing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

From the original post it seems like he's wearing jeans

Is that supposed to be Herobrine or something?

This did not have to be live action

[–] [email protected] 73 points 2 months ago

This did not have to be ~~live action~~

Why is that kid holding the tesseract from Avengers?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

Why let the model go to waste?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Thanks, I was just wasting a minute trying to figure out which character was photoshopped in.

It's a Microsoft initiative... of course it's going to suck

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Only when they intend it to suck, it will blow

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Having not seen either...

What is this and why?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

This is the Minecraft movie because money

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

I hate the texture pack they are using. High res ones look gross.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

All I wanted was for 3/4 of the main characters to be normal Minecraft skins, such as the shrimp series of skins, and the 4th to be some horrendous creation that only Satan himself would use on Minecraft. They then proceed to play bedwars with actual 8 year olds and lose.

Was that too much to ask, Microsoft?!?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is the big guy Jason Momoa? I assumed it would be but whenever I see a photo I'm less sure that it is

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It is him yes

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I mean my Minecraft Skin isn't a normal skin and during early adventure, I slap that on, what I find. Also hats (from a mod).

Most people are laughing but I think it could get good, if they do it right. They actors need to reflect the wide playerbase. Jason Momoa could be the old school vanilla survival player, that played up to the early release version. The boy could be a modern MP minigame server player. Jack Black could be the Griefer/Anarchie player.

There is potential to make it good but they could easily screw this up. Minecraft is a game without a story and the only story Minecraft has, is from the players (and viewers of Minecraft YouTubers, without poiting out a specific one, due to obvious regional differences. I mean would you know a German Minecraft YouTuber and get the references?) and their memories. Without that, I don't see how this can get good.

Going meta would've been a great idea, actually. Imply that every Minecraft player's character is still around, doing their thing. The guy who's been there since Alpha can intone, "I was here before man felt hunger... my temples are so ancient, they no longer face the sunrise... I am twenty-seven years old."

[–] southsamurai 1 points 2 months ago

If they do it that way, I'd watch it, and I've never played Minecraft.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Didn't know Minecraft had so much wind it needed to be broken.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

They're obviously filming with optifine
