I really did not expect them to make a realistic Jack Black doll holding a Minecraft sword

Why is this thing so funny to me? Look at it lmao.

We live in a parody.

wtf I suddenly support 100% tariffs on injection-molded plastic

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 20 points 3 weeks ago

100% is too low tbh

When I lay dying from a brain completely saturated with microplastics, I can go contented that at least one particle will have come from something so utterly and perfectly unnecessary...

Of course that will only be the case because my brain is completely saturated with microplastics, but, y'know shrug-outta-hecks

I feel weird about it but the sword is bothering me. They made it like 3x higher resolution than the actual shit graphics in the game. It's like they couldn't commit to making it look silly because swords = cools.

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 25 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah that's wild. Minecraft's diamond sword is iconic and already appears in dozens of toys, why wouldn't it appear in this one too?

[–] invo_rt@hexbear.net 32 points 3 weeks ago

Can't wait for manufacturing to come back to the US!! amerikkka-clap

What's not funny about it? Everyone knows what Minecraft characters look like, but that's just regular Jack Black without any of the recognizable Minecraft graphical style. If you lost the sword, you'd be wondering why someone made a Jack Black doll that's just wearing regular clothes. It's a ridiculous concept.

I can't wait for A MineCraft Movie Video Game. Its going to be sick.

See I was hoping for this:

DIGITIZED GRAPHICS FROM THE MOVIE

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This movie was terrible but at least it was good slop. Or maybe I just think that because I saw it as a child.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

M Bison was so funny, all his moves were powered by magnets lol

[–] axont@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This game is actually kinda noteworthy since it was the first time Akuma was a playable character. I also think it was the first game where Akuma had a name.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Akuma was playable in SSF2T. It was the first time he was a regular selectable character, though.

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

wth it that? do you have to actually buy skins in minecraft bedrock or something?

[–] cerealkiller@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

No clue. I still use my very legal copy of Minecraft Java Edition. So I never had to deal with this micro-transaction shit.

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

yes, it's extremely depressing.

[–] Nibblesnarf@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks I hate it.

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 30 points 3 weeks ago

this shit is like if all the morbius jokes were real

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait, this is real? I thought this was AI lol

[–] invo_rt@hexbear.net 22 points 3 weeks ago

It's absolutely real lol.

[–] Sulv@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Didn’t they already make one terrible Minecraft movie? Now there’s two but it’s still just called the Minecraft movie?

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Are you talking about the 2012 documentary? I'm struggling to figure out what movie other than the just released 2025 film you're talking about

[–] Sulv@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think I'm just going crazy or dreamt it

Honestly I think this got played in Hextube at some point and my brain just made it into a whole movie. I do not recall everything from this video so CW.

Thinking of the Minecraft story mode on Netflix maybe? It had choose your own adventure elements and i think Patton oswalt voiced the main character

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

Well, having seen the leaked pre-vfx version, all I can say is it's as bad as you're imagining

"First you mine, then you craft! Let's Minecraft!"

[–] ihaveibs@hexbear.net 15 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Is it worse than the Mario movie?

[–] NOPper@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I took my kid to it last night on a whim. Theater was absolutely packed with 8-16 year olds and through most of the flick they burst out in wild applause and cheering at every minor reference. By any measure it's a success for everyone involved.

Jack Black honestly saves it by being so damn over the top every line, otherwise it's a solid 5/10 movie for kids to enjoy. If you leave red faced and screaming you're just being difficult. Skibidi rizz Ohio.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

Its okay, a lot of financially successful stuff is dog shit

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

They made toys of that! https://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/merchandise/toys.htm

edit: you probably meant the newer Mario movie, I was talking about the obviously superior 1993 one.

[–] ihaveibs@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Lol I just genuinely want to know if it's worse than the new Mario movie because that's one of the most dogshit movies I've ever seen. That goomba toy looks sick tho

[–] CriticalOtaku@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

It's bad.

There's lots of memeable moments, so I can see it being someone's so-bad-it's-good drunken binge watch movie, but I'm dead inside so I hated every second of it.

I found it a lot easier to watch because they really make no attempt at pathos or the kind of "character arcs" that are always in these kids cash in movies. They give the briefest possible introduction to the characters who are basically chosen at random. I enjoyed watching jack black deliver with conviction lines of dialogue that never bothered trying to make sense in the first place.

They really just distilled it down to "you like wacky characters and you like watching them interact so that is what the movie consists of" with a barely considered Minecraft layer of paint dumped on it. If they're supposed to learn something, they literally spend the least amount of time possible having that actually happen. Danielle Brooks' character is literally just "uh I dunno her landlord who drives her somewhere?" and she's not really less developed than any of the other characters lol

The minecraft movie was peak everyone saying otherwise is just dead inside

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

Idk abt the full movie but from the beta version i peeked at with the campus tech support crew it deserves a 3 hour $500 mil directors cut with practical effects, Jim Henson Creature Shop-style animatronics, and blank checks for cocaine

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It’s so dumb but also I want one lol

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

I want to steal one and then just paint it like this

I would only get this if I could also get a Kyle Gas toy to go with it, that wears basketball shorts and that train wreck shift from Pick of Destiny.
