minecraft trailer 1 (2024) how I feel about the minecraft movie trailer . . .

when i saw the minecraft trailer 4 the 1st time, istg i thought i it was an ad for the game! considering that minecraft has a similar ad 2 the 2nd shot then when i realized it was the actual movie, my 1st thought was . . . cheap . . . it looked so damn cheap!? it looks like a minecraft parody from 2012 yt. i agree that this movie would hav been better fully animated. & wat makes it worse is that the 'funny' scenes, like the 1 with the lama at the very end, weren't even funny to begin with.

If you were to tell me this was a fanmade trailer from the early days of YouTube I would believe you.

Sorry if I brought back any unpleasant memories.

Hey, does anyone else want to start a minecraft SMP after agonizing over that trailer? I think we could make a better storyline than anything WB threw at us without even trying.

reblog, and spread this around, and maybe we can cope with each other.

we can chat it up in the comments, and maybe start planning something out.

I saw the trailer for the Minecraft movie and thought I could do better. Here is the first part of my Minecraft fanfic.Anarchy: a Minecraft story Part 1:the lament of spawn. Free on Wattpad

I believe i can make a better Minecraft movie than the garbage that is being produced rn. This isn't even "oh i'm totally a better writer than these professionals" this is because they seem to be ignoring the 'themes' of Minecraft in favor of corporate sanitation, and I can do better than a corporation.

So where to start? Well, by analyzing the 'themes' of Minecraft I mentioned. And what are those? Well, 3 major things imo.

Number 1; Creativity; Minecraft itself is a sandbox game, naturally one of the major themes it carries is creativity. You can create anything you want, the worlds your oyster in Minecraft.

Number 2; Community; While Minecraft can be a single-player game, the whole of the game has become about a community of people. SMPs, Minigame servers, even outside the game Minecraft is about community. As much as people may not like the mob vote, we come together as a community to decide things that we want to come to the game!

Number 3; Love; Now you might look at me weird for this one, but Minecraft is full of love. Love by Minecraft content creators who LOVE the game for all its worth, mod makers who love to create new content for the game, even the Minecraft End Poem. "And the universe said I love you, because you are love-" the game is full of love.

Now are these things the end all be all of 'themes' in Minecraft? No, of course not. It's a sandbox game which means themes can be all over the place, but these are the themes I personally would use in a Minecraft movie since without these themes a movie would fall flat. And if we're all honest with ourselves, just from that newest trailer the Minecraft Movie has NONE of these.

There's no creativity (just another jumanji isekai ripoff) no community (aka no one in the community seems to be liking it) and no love (it's a corporate cash-grab through and through)

But how would i fix that? Well, I have a few ideas.

First and foremost; who are the protagonists and antagonists? Well OBVIOUSLY Steve and Alex are our protagonists. Steve has lost his memories and must find out what happened to them, and Alex? Well she is related to his missing memories (also NO, no romance between them. No "oh she's a STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER" in the Hollywood way) And the antagonists? Well, one would first assume Herobrine- but i think that's too easy. What about the Piglins like the actual live action? Also no. So who the hell is the antagonist? Well that depends, an antagonist would be in opposition to all of the themes that I listed- Creativity, Community, and Love. What in Minecraft fits this? A destructive force that acts alone and out of hate (or at least some kind of hate.)

The Wither.

But hasn't Minecraft Story Mode used the Wither for its story? Yes, yes they did. But why fix whats not broken? The Wither is a GREAT antagonist if the themes of Minecraft are as I listed above. Not to mention you can do a LOT with the Wither. It doesn't just have to be a large monster, it can be many things. For this movie the Wither is akin to a blight spreading across the land, killing anything in its path, reducing it to a greyed out violent form of its past self.

Next; What would the general plot be? Well, the general idea is that Steve wakes up without his memories. All he has is a journal with his name on it and a few entries (how to craft, certain creatures and what they drop, etc. The basics of Minecraft) but there's also a map that leads him to a village, which is when the plot truly kicks off when he defends the villagers from some Pillagers (Villagers who have been affected by the Wither blight.) The story follows Steve as he finds Alex (who is related to his unknown history. She admits she also has very little memory. All she knows is that she knows HIM and they need to stick together) and then they travel to find what caused the Wither blight; what happened to their memories; and how the hell are they going to stop the blight/get their memories back. The climatic point of the story reveals that THEY are the reason the Wither blight is spreading, both had accidentally unleashed it while exploring a Stronghold that held the Wither, which also explains their lost memories (somehow, i don't have the specifics its OKAY- this is a concept for a reason)

At the climax itself Steve is dying. There's a reference to the End Poem, he comes back to life (because obviously it's Minecraft. You revive) and him & Alex manage to stop the Wither blight as well as reverse it, obviously saving the day.

Now there's a lot of holes in the idea, but as I said it's a CONCEPT i'm toying around with because I do believe this basic structure would provide a much more fulfilling movie than game isekai with popular actors #12. I'd love to see people add on to this since as I said, COMMUNITY is one of the largest parts of Minecraft, and personally i love building on others ideas.

i see your minecraft movie suggestions and I raise my own.

Long post, so it’s under the cut.

The protagonist is Alex, but there’s also someone behind the screen. Let’s call her Alexandra. She finds an old world, with Steve being only a myth.

There’s animated sequences of the actual plot, and live action sequences of Alexandra living an actual life. We slowly learn that Alexandra is making the story herself, to make a whole fantasy.

At least, that’s what we think, until Alex meets Steve. For real. Alex comes back to her base to find Steve rummaging through her chests of stuff.

We see Alexandra playing the game, thinking it’s one of her friends playing a prank on her. Nope, Steve isn’t just a legend. Or a player.

Steve acts as a mentor figure for Alex, guiding her along the world… when he doesn’t know what he’s doing himself. They’re both learning together.

They make a new base for the both of them.

They bond in the game, eventually reaching the Ender Dragon.

We see the End Poem on Alexandra’s screen in the real world, Alexandra and Steve saying the lines.

Then, Alex spawns in her first base. She’s holding the Ender Dragon’s egg, and she looks up at an item frame. She’s happy, and starts looking for Steve.

She runs to their base…

He’s not there.

She spends until nightfall looking for Steve.

In the real world, Alexandra’s mom comes in and ask what’s wrong. Alexandra tells the whole thing, and her mom tries to comfort her. Alexandra then goes to her dad’s office, and sees him playing her world… as Steve.

Her dad reveals that he wanted to spend time with her, playing the game that she loved. They hug and talk.

It fades back to the Minecraft world, in some plains, and we see Alexandra and her dad as actual skins, starting a new world, together. They run off towards the forest, and credits roll.

The credits show images of actual builds that players had created.

There is a post-credits scene of Alexandra finishing up an elaborate build of a house, while her dad comes out of a dirt house and calls her a showoff.

honestly i can’t even be mad that the minecraft movie looks horrible. Film studios rarely ever care about or do research on the genuine meaning of a game, why people are drawn to it, what satisfaction they get out of it.

A part of me silently hoped that, like some others i’ve seen talk about it, they would focus on what minecraft is, what the end poem of the game describes.

A world that loves you, A universe that wants you to grow and survive and most importantly create

Film studios have never been good when it comes to movie adaptations of video games. And i can’t even be mad about it at this point.

Ngl, as I saw some animated remakes of the Minecraft Movie Trailer.

I think they should've used like a different models for the dude with the wig and the big lady.

Like.. Use the models similar to MCSM.

Like how Axel and Emily looks.

You get what I mean?

[gingershnek]

Holy fucking shit I'm done with this

I refuse to see the live-action minecraft movie.

I don't care if it's good

I don't care if Jack Black is in it.

I refuse to see it. I'm done with Hollywood's endless recycling of content. I demand new content and new stories.

[jetra4ivor]

Alright let’s run down why this trailer sucks.

First up… this is not how Minecraft terrain generation WORKS. I understand they’re trying to push the blocked aesthetic of the world, but this just looks like bad world edit creation with these massive block shapes making up the arch here.

This is not how trees in Minecraft look. They don’t have branches like that.

What is the crafting recipe here? A couple iron ingots and some sticks haphazardly placed on a crafting table make… what is that? Two buckets on a chain??? What the fuck item is that? Why isn’t it a familiar Minecraft item? Why is the recipe not important? Why does he say Jack Black’s panda Po’s catchphrase while crafting it?

THIS is the only accurate thing in the trailer so far. A tree floating and its component piece hovering in the middle. That’s accurate. Good job.

Why are we doing piglins invading? Why are they not zombifying in the sun? Why are they shown multiple times in broad daylight raiding villages when we have actual RAIDERS IN THE GAME we could be using instead?

Here’s the magical mcguffan. Probably how they get into the world and how they get out.

And finally the creeper. I know people like to assume the creeper is made of grass, but given the texture of the poster I have a feeling this is legitimately 100% how the creeper looks in movie too. It’s just… grass. Highly detailed dense grass.

That is not how I envision creepers.

There’s sooooo much wrong with this film I am BAFFLED at how bad it is. How do you get Minecraft THIS WRONG???

Never did I imagine that my father a 60 yr old man whose never touched Minecraft in his dear life would be so upset about the Minecraft movie. How can he better understand that you cannot bring real people into it's beautiful and simple world, that THAT is the beauty of Minecraft, of how we all live our own lives in this game.

[the-irreverend]

I never thought the original Sonic movie design would have a spiritual successor.

Not that I wanted it to.

[touch-starved-lurker]

ok yeah so i figured it out

personally, i wish the minecraft movie would have more of these vibes. not just absurd visuals and actors green-screened in and probably a silly toothless story. oh and animated also, but not like. the hyperrealistic & lowkey gross-looking stuff we got.
