I don't understand. I mean that honestly. Is it really this hard to make a movie that's true to its video game roots? You already have a built in fan base, so you know they will help with ticket sales and word of mouth. You need it to be accessible to normies, which is fine you can dumb things down but it's MINECRAFT, it's not like we're talking super dense lore here.
There's not really anything in the game that's worthy of a movie anyway. Don't get me wrong, it's one of the best things I've ever played and the fun we had on multiplayer servers hosted with my friends will stay with me forever, but it's not exactly bursting full of lore and storylines.
That's kinda the point I think. The only thing they had was the aesthetic and they half assed that so its kinda pointless 😄 Not only do they not have the original fans, they won't have any new fans either. Just a waste of everyones time.
Can they just stop making video game movies and have some originality for once? I thought the writer strikes were over. Why is shit still so uninspired?
Should they go back to adapting books, plays, short stories, poems, tv shows, board games, tabletop games, songs, toy lines, children’s games, other movies, or an older version of the same movie instead?
