I'm not disputing anything you're saying, just trying to explain the logic of a movie production studio. If they're trying to make a Minecraft movie, they're going to gear it to maximize the revenue from their audience.

If they made it a kids movie, it's because they thought that would make them the most money. Whatever kind of movie they made, it's for monetary reasons.

That's why they'll fail. Thats why so many movies with a great IP to back them fail. They become more interested in profits than telling a good story.

And thats why great movies like the Lego Movie and Puss in Boots the last wish came out of left field and became huge hits. Because they focused on a great story first.

My dude, I agree with you. I'm just explaining how we get bullshit like this movie. Not actually supporting it or approving in any way. I can tell you right now that I have no intention of seeing this movie.

Also, everything is awesome.
