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?

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month 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@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

Is that supposed to be Herobrine or something?

[–] Someplaceunknown@fedia.io 44 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This did not have to be live action

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 73 points 1 month ago

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

Why is that kid holding the tesseract from Avengers?

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 21 points 1 month ago

Why let the model go to waste?

[–] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago

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

[–] exanime@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] fraksken@infosec.pub 3 points 1 month ago

Only when they intend it to suck, it will blow

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Having not seen either...

What is this and why?

[–] Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

This is the Minecraft movie because money

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month 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?!?

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month 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

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It is him yes

[–] ZeldaFreak@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 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.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] randomdeadguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

They're obviously filming with optifine
