Trailer for the Minecraft movie released Anonymous 09/04/2024 (Wed) 14:44:45 Id: 7969fa No. 1009645
Officially titled A Minecraft Movie It's.. oh dear.
>brown bricks They're.. certainly something. I don't know if there are more than this, these are all I could find.
Almost impressively hideous. >THIS SUMMER >Wake up in the morning feelin like P Diddy >JACK BLACK >speed up shot of the square sunrise, Black looking out wistfully >IS >montage of terrible CGI mobs, holding on a shot of a sheep bleating where the music stops >GOING TO >ROCK >YOUR >WORLD >zoom out of the square-shaped planet >MINECRAFT: MOVIE EDITION
>>991892 Looks like shit + Jack Black is another of those actors that are way over used. Reminds me of Debra Wilson showing up in all things vidya. It is tiring to see/hear them everywhere. >Jack Black Also I'm still laughing about Tenacious D falling apart over their TDS during a concert. The fact some aussie politician was calling for their deportation made me chuckle too.
>>991896 It hurts.
>>991892 What happened to him? Wasn't this guy generally liked and not heckin soy cringe?
>>991917 He dadded out really, it happens. He's married with several kids now. Nothing shameful about it, if anything it's arguably an improvement over his days as a boner stoner for his personal life, even if it means he's nowhere near as cool or funny as he was in the 90s or early 2000s. You see the same from a lot of those edgy 90s musicians who went on to marry and have kids, it's hard to have that 'mad at the word' energy when you're fucking your wife five times a week and watching your little girl's dance recitals. The issue with dadding out is you become kind of lame and boring, and while that's perfect for a domestic life it's rarely interesting as an artist.
>>991921 He was sold as a family friendly fat stoner jew even in the early 2000s really.
>>991896 It wouldn't be that song because P Diddy's a rapist now. They're pick something like Party Rock or outright embrace the autism by using a fan song official.
>>991917 He's ridin' with biden now Him and his pedo-looking bandmate
>>991892 >>991979 Why does he look so old? https://infogalactic.com/info/Jack_Black > Thomas Jacob Black (born August 28, 1969) Jack Black is in his 50's? The years have not been kind to him.
>>992008 Being fat fucks you up in a lot of ways.
>>992008 He's a fat jewish pothead.
>>991892 I like to think these retards saw someone "play" the Telltale Minecraft Story Mode and how fucking shit and embarrassing it was, so they went all love action retardation. Glad the Fat Fuck gets to go Brutal Legend in Minecraft.
>>992099 >Glad the Fat Fuck gets to go Brutal Legend in Minecraft. Have you not read the bit where he's not the MC? He's the princess in another castle.
>>992104 I remember the bit of him wanting to make a Brutal Legend movie years go, but in contrast to his actual appearance, he was a fat fuck then. This is the perfect opportunity to prove he's still a fat fuck.
>>991979 Woah, so punk rock!!! Admittedly I think he actually looks the part for Steve, if it didn't look like a stupid Mario movie rehash plot they could have done like a cihld-friendly Cast Away type thing where he's trying to survive and going crazy or something
>>991896 <JACK BLACK <IS <GOING TO >BLOCK <YOUR <WORLD
>>992116 >hashtag epic Sounds like a Sam Hyde joke from the early MDE days. Is this real?
>>992116 What is with this mindless desire to be the "counterculture" anyway?
>>992182 Because baby boomers have dominated the culture so much in the last fifty-sixty years that everyone thinks the 60's was the peak of culture, like zoomers idealize the 80's and gen alpha the 90's, late baby boomers and early gen x tend to worship the 60's. Jacking off about Woodstock and the Beatles and all that garbage.
>>992182 If you're "counterculture" then you're automatically a good guy, because everything bad that ever happens is the other guys. And far-leftists want to take credit for hating corporations and billionaires and yuppies in the 80's and 90's when that was a thing everyone did. As for Jack Black he's gotten TDS and wants to be "punk" now, despite finding success as a mostly independent artist of hard rock and metal (genres which, as opposed to punk, embraced fame and success when they achieved it). Marxists believe that if you find success in an exploitative system then you're just as oppressive yourself, hitler particles etc. etc. Jack Black is playing a jewy grifter game where he made success off of a system punks would call exploitative, so he's trying to justify it so he doesn't look like a bad guy and can remain relevant. But people are starting to notice that he's an asshole and he's the same character in every movie he's in, like Jim Carrey.
>>992116 >I stand with Biden That's going to age hilariously in a couple of weeks when Bidup throws in the towel. He's right about one thing Republicans are fake counter culture (just like how Democrats are) and they both try to invoke the counter culture thing for the reason that >>992195 pointed out. Politicians of all stripes are grafters and panderers whether it's the left trying to groom us into fucking the bussies and eating the bugs or the right trying to neocon us into some glowop war to fight all of Israel's enemies for them. It's so tiresome. VIDEOGAMES >>991892 This looks fucking hideous. Who thought this was a good idea? This like those what if Simpsons or Pokemon were real things that, instead of doing something sensible, makes everything look like a grotesque parody.
>>992201 uuhm AKSHUALLY detective pikachu was both a critical and commercial success
>>992211 I liked the movie, wish it delved more into how the world works with pokémons but it was solid enough.
>>992201 >republicans are the entirety of the right. Centrism is wrong, anon-kun.
>>992223 I watched on a cytube at some point and recall it having interracial romance and unstomachable reddit humor Is your taste fucking abysmal or am I misremembering?

>>991896 >>montage of terrible CGI mobs, holding on a shot of a sheep bleating where the music stops God that's so real I can see it.
>>992272 >having interracial romance If you mean the main cast, the male lead is mixed race(black father white mother) and the female lead is white, so I guess it depends on your tolerance level.
>>991896 >A skeleton shoots an arrow at Jack and it hits him in the crotch >A villager says "OOOH, RIGHT IN THE DIAMONDS!" >Jack's wolf pet puts its head down and covers its eyes with its paws

>>991917 Mediocre comedian wanting to be relevant. >>992195 >Jim Carrey Both fall into the Groucho Marx's complex, nobody would take them seriously if it wasn't for Pedowood. >>992201 >He's right about one thing Republicans are fake counter culture Right there, Jack Blacked regurgitates unpopular opinions and try to mishmash just to fit in with his liberal views. If they heard about Johnny Rebel they'd instantly kill themselves or launch another retarded anti-hate campaign like the punk-cucks they are.
>>992546 >The primary culture present in most media and commercial organisations is leftwing >Republicans are countering that <They are not counter culture because Fox News exists. I know they’re q-boomers but by all objective measures they do count as counter-culture.
>>992381 I liked the 90's-00's, because I lived them, but that's just nostalgia.

>>991892 Why not just have Steve be CGI as well???
>>993576 Why not just have Charles Martinet voice Mario in the Mario Movie? Because without muh celebrities it won't sell to casuals that DON'T know about minecraft. Yeah, guaranteeing the minecraft audience isn't enough.
(51.81 KB 765x737 Kurt.jpg)

>>993576 Better yet, why isn't the entire film CGI? You can't really make Minecraft in live action, but instead of going the 3DCG route they took this Who Framed Rodger Rabbit's Toon Town approach with real actors in what I assume will be an entirely animated setting. The game is already in a 3D stylized setting so why do this? Beyond that, what the hell is the art style? It borders on grotesque, again; the game is already in a 3D stylized setting. They have made a movie in the style of the game, or at least a slightly modified version of that style like the thousands of Minecraft animators do. That goat is reminiscent of those "This will be [XYZ] graphics in 2014" memes. This seems to be a real problem in Hollywood adaptations. This is an issue with the recent Sonic and Mario films, as well. They have no idea how to write it so they make it a sort of isekai and change the aesthetic for no real reason into this kind of ugly mishmash of styles. The Mario movie in particular looks like one of those A.I. Pixar posters, but it's actually real.
*They could have made
>>993592 The worst adaption with the isekai angle has to be Monster Hunter. What was Paul W. S. Anderson thinking with that?
>>993604 >What was Paul W. S. Anderson thinking with that? He wanted to make another movie where his wife was the star of the show.
>>993604 >>993638 Yeah he's intent only on making his wife an action star getting naked & kissing other men. Not on actually adapting any franchise accurately. The Resident Evil movies should've made that evident.

>>1009645 Honestly I never got into the autism block game like most people did, so this being a trashfire really doesn't bother me. Nephews really want me to go see it with them though so I assume this will make money either way.
>>1009650 cant have it be an all-animated work with no live actors and only featuring the characters from the game series. we NEED ro have DEI/ESG socjus garbage because mincraft is so massively popular that Jews need to use it as a vehicle for their NWO. Especially as the original creator has been saying nono words and expressing wrongthink in the past., he must bend the knee, and all he has created must be as pozzed up as it possibly could to be punished for the sins of the creator (a treatment like harry potter got). (((They))) must infiltrate and control all potential sources of dissent to ensure there is no place to express discontent at the current situation. They are paranoid about a real rebellion formenting. They are the aristocrats trying to stop the french revolution by taking over the coffee houses in which malcontents expressesd their disillusionment with the ruling class. Anything the kikes can't co-opt and flood with SocJus poison, they will instead attempt to destroy through keeping people unaware, or slinging enough mud at it to ensure nobody knows anything about it except the deliberate misrepresentations found in their hitpeices. Like how so many nornies know everything about the nazis due to how many times they saw their ideas and history represented to them by people that hate the nazis and the concept of nazism (such as the retards who got their ideas about white nationalism or supremacism from watching "american history x")

Something I wanted to note is how lolsodrandum the trailer feels. The humor is over a decade out of date, this movie looks and feels like it should have come out when Minecraft originally launched.

Why didn’t they just copy the Lego movie? The very nature of Minecraft makes it anathema to live action. Super mario bros 1993 was less jarring than this.
>>1009885 If it wasn't live action, everyone would be accusing it of being like those Minecraft animated videos from the early-mid 2010s.
>>1009885 they should have gone one of two ways, gone all in with cgi and just make the actors into characters that fit into the world, or gone mostly live action with more blocky creatures in the real world, as it is now everything looks fucked up because we're used to the scale of the minecraft world, and to throw real people into it fucks up the scale of it as well as clashes with an ALL CGI WORLD, the cgi animals and piglins look more like they should be running all over the real world considering they're made to look hyper realistic, and if they're doing what I think they're doing with the script, it's a jumanji scenario and the actors got sucked into the game, and they have to find a mcguffin and defeat a big bad to restore peace to the overworld and get back to reality, and if they're gonna just rip the concept of jumanji they easily could have just had the creatures from minecraft escape into the real world and there would have been a lot they could have done without the hyper realism looking too uncanny

This is only vaguely related to the thread, but when I went to look for the trailer in higher quality I found an old Minecraft YTer reacting to it. I never watched MCYT, I was way too old for it, but they did go trending/get recommended constantly so I recognize some of the names and faces in the scene. If not for the username, I'm not sure I would have even recognized this guy. It's DanTDM.

Posting this normalfag meme not because I like or agree with it, but because the games it lists and in the order it does so is bizarre to me. I want to hear your thoughts. Also this is a strawman, I don't think I've ever heard anybody say this about the movie.
>>1009986 The fucking Gaul of you....
>>1010077 Zelda is already getting a movie.
>>1009691 sheit we's gonna be playin' wif blocks like this sum mofuggin' legos or some shit?

>>1009978 Just be thankful it's not american military getting isekai'd once more.
>>1010077 >gothic movie What the fuck would it even be? Some guy running around beating up the peasantry?
>>1010077 For the sake of argument I'm assuming there are direct adaptions of their stories and not films set in-universe. >Mass Effect They'd have to make a movie out of each game, so a trilogy. Could be a fun sci-fi romp. The real issue with this is how you'd get a LotR situation where the filmmakers would need remove and alter so much of the original stories to make them fit into a film trilogy. Not my first pick, but it could work. >BioShock It'd need to be an experimental horror film to work, and I don't see how its political and philosophical themes would neatly fit into a 90 minute movie. A faithful adaption of BioShock would not be a mainstream product, negating any chance of it being made. Then again, Iron Lung of all games is getting adapted into some kind of experiential horror film and I can completely see that working. >Red Dead Redemption Way too long, a film inspired by RDR could work but you're just making a western at that point. >Half-Life A famously obtuse narrative with a silent protagonist, of course. I have no idea how this would work outside of some largely experimental visual action piece, like Hardcore Henry. That, or they'd have to focus on characters other than Gordon. They've supposedly been making a Half-Life movie for like 15 years, don't expect it to ever happen. >GTA They're not clarifying which but I could see some games working as films, they'd need to specify which. >Deus Ex Not really, it's far too dense and dialogue heavy. I could see it as a comic or a novel, but not a film. >Zelda What? Another famously sparse narrative with a silent protagonist. Some entries are easier to adapt than others, but I wouldn't know how you'd do it outside of a classic 80s sword and sorcery type deal. They actually are making a Zelda film, and I'm very curious to see what they do. I swear if it's more isekai live action slop.. >Elder Scrolls Absolutely fucking not, are you kidding? Any CRPG would be extremely awkward to turn into a film, TES especially. There's so much in these games you'd have to strip it down to the main story, and the main story in TES games are famously not very interesting. Can most of you even remember what the ending to Skyrim was? If we were talking about films set in the universe, this could absolutely work and would be an excellent candidate. >Horizon Don't actually know enough about this to comment, the big robots seem cool. >StarCraft ???? >Mafia Also don't know enough about it, I assume it could be a solid crime movie which is why they listed it. One of the only games here that seems obvious. >Gothic This one truly caught me off guard. Gothic's story is interesting but I can't see how it would adapt into a film, as I said with TES - CRPGs like this aren't easy to directly adapt. 4/10 mostly odd picks, not even particularly inspired.

I saw some youtube comments that told how budgets are overinflated and crap tv shows cost upwards of $200million. By quite literally filling their pockets and chalking it up as production expenses.
>>1010092 With Gothic, there already is a fan movie that is a condensed version of the game at 1 hour and 43 minutes https://yewtu.be/watch?v=MrRoWIortQw It even does a cool thing, like having the entire gang at the end, helping the MC, instead of him just being alone. Add another 40 minutes, and I am sure it could be done well enough, not all movies are 2 hours, normalfags are fine with 3 hour movies as well, just look at DUNE DUNC and The Revenant, Deus Ex is much harder, the Jewtube versions are at 4 hours(https://yewtu.be/watch?v=WQZV5lwQZbY), so you would probably need to split the game in two, probably where Denton gets captured by UNATCO and learns that he will die in 24 hours, that would be a nice cliffhanger. A bigger problem with Deus Ex, is the deadpan main character, sure it's iconic, but it's very hard to pull it of for a Hollywood movie, especially if it's supposed to be taken seriously. Then again, they could go full Naked Gun and make it a comedy. With Zelda and Half-Life, they already made a successful Mario movie, who is also a silent protagonist (for the most part) so they can give Link a voice, and with Freeman we have Inside Freeman's mind. For Mass Effect and GTA I think a miniseries would work better, Fallout and The Last of Us got miniseries, so why not these games? Of course, I personally do not want any of these games to be adapted, fuck Hollywood, get better ideas, or if they really want to adapt them, make something completely different, like how Tarkovski made Stalker which had nothing to do with the game book. Of course that was because the director was good, not because of the source material. >>1010093 Nah, I think it's an Eastern European, was about to say a child, then again Gothic is old, so a manchild is more apt.
>>1010096 I know Robert Rodriguez (famous for being able to pull stuff off on very low budgets: He made a 2 million grossing film that got onto the National Film Registry on just $7,000 for everything except post production.) has stated he avoids catering because of how quickly its costs add up.
>>1009645 I hate jack black. Hope he gets #MEtoo by a nigger cunt.
>>1010096 Even compared to recent Disney and DC movies minecraft looks bad. In fact I seen better looking live action minecraft fan parodies.
>>1010097 >Nah, I think it's an Eastern European, was about to say a child, then again Gothic is old, so a manchild is more apt. There is no way in fuck a 30 to 40 yo slav who still clings to the old days of western rpg's thinks "Horizon ZD" is any good as a game or story.
>>1010107 You underestimate how easily someone can become a normalfag. I have a friend whose childhood games were Devil May Cry 3 and 4 on PC yet he still enjoyed Devil may Cry and God of Soy reboot, barely plays on his PC and instead plays on his Playstation from time to time. Another acquaintance played Gothic 1 and 2 as a child and enjoyed them very much, yet when he was in highschool he became a massive casual that mostly played League of Legends. I know 40 year old Germans, who played Twisted Metal as teenagers, had no idea what Gothic was(yes, I am not joking, Gothic 1 came out right when they lost interest in gaming, adn were looking at me like I was making some game up), and had no interest in video-games whatsoever, besides talking about their childhood games, the same way someone would talk about what cartoons they watched as a child, without implying that they still watch cartoons. You can give your child the cream of the crop when it comes to games, there is no guarantee that he won't loose interest or become a casual.
>>1010092 Nioh 1 and Sekiro would both make good movies. Or good animes at least. >>1009679 >Especially as the original creator has been saying nono words and expressing wrongthink in the past., he must bend the knee, and all he has created must be as pozzed up as it possibly could to be punished for the sins of the creator (a treatment like harry potter got). Funny thing, a weaker and more subtle version of thins happened with Little Orphan Annie of all things. >>1009886 That's what they should have done. Just get the Fallen Kingdom/Take Back the Night guy to go and make a movie for them. Even I would watch that and I haven't cared about Minecraft for some time now.
Seems like our good friends have published another amazingly fantastic article: Sorry, The Minecraft Movie Isn't Meant To Be For You https://archive.is/bCPOg >The new trailer revealed a movie that's going to delight its core demographic, and that ain't you >As the Minecraft movie trailer broke yesterday afternoon, the internet was immediately abuzz with cynicism and disappointment, as adults across the world simultaneously expressed one thought: “Who is this film even for?” What almost every single one of them forgot is that they’re not nine-year-olds. >So I get it. There’s a generation that feels like Minecraft belongs to them. They were in there ahead of the crowds, loving the game before it even officially launched in 2011, and certainly before it became one of the biggest franchises in the world and Microsoft bought it for $2.5 billion. >But even that colossal sale was ten years ago. For ten years, Minecraft has been one of the top-grossing media franchises, more likely to be seen on clothing in Walmart than on the news feed of your favorite gaming site. Minecraft has multiple physical magazines, both official and unofficial, and I hope you’re not shocked to learn they’re aimed at elementary school kids. There’s an interactive cartoon on Netflix, and...it’s for children. Visit any toy store and there will be shelves and shelves and shelves of tie-in plastic figures, swords, Steve heads, Creeper plushies, enormous Ender Dragon toys, Lego kits, and on and on. >But the internet’s adult bemusement that this cartoonish movie set in a game primarily played by children didn’t look like Deadpool Vs. Wolverine 2 is one that I think certainly deserves some scorn. You can be disappointed that its art style doesn’t more accurately replicate that of the game, or despair that it contains big, wacky characters. You can absolutely draw comparisons with the aforementioned Netflix cartoon, that took everything far more seriously with Patton Oswalt and Catherine Taber’s alternative Jesses, and wish it had been more like that. But you are being disappointed for yourself, and not speaking for all of mankind. >Because the answer to that question that rang out across the world yesterday, “Who is this even for?” is easy. It’s for kids. It’s designed to make kids happy. And you aren’t a kid, as much as you may wish that weren’t true. Minecraft, even if you still play it 17 hours a day, is for kids now. It’s one of the biggest children’s media franchises in existence. And based on my incredibly scientific study of one super-smart, super-imaginative nine-year-old’s reaction to the trailer, it’s doing exactly what it should be.

>>1009884 There actually is an open-sourced Minecraft named VoxeLibre, it runs on the open-source Minetest engine. In fact there are a few open-sourced Minecraft clones on this engine, VoxeLibre being by far the most popular. Some focus on being as close to Minecraft as possible, others are what their creators wish Minecraft was, and a few are completely unique games.
>>1010129 The majority of people that made minecraft a financial success in the first place were literally shitposters from /v/, mostly adult or at least young adult men. The fact that microsoft took over and now is trying to turn minecraft into a safe space with no swear words and going so far as to C&D servers with mature game modes like GTA RP and Gun Game for slapping gun textures on bows, does not in fact make the game "for 9 year olds". It is for EVERYONE, you can be an adult and play on servers with mature themes, extra violence, drugs, advanced nuclear and chemical engineering, you can be disabled and still play the fucking game, you can be severely autistic and spend all day recreating a 1:1 scale replica of hogwarts, or you can be a 9 year old just making a house of diamond blocks in creative mode and thinking it's the bestest house ever made and one day you'll grow up and live in a diamond house in real life. The whole point of a sandbox game where you make your own fun is that there is no one target demographic, and that's what makes it great. The very argument that "HURR MOVIE MADE 4 KIDS NOT U" is a fart in the wind, since I have seen more kids movies with better production and stories than any animated movie with adults as the target audience. Sausage Party was aimed at adults, and that movie was shit incarnate, because it was nothing but immature humor.
>>1010258 It's also really stupid because the most successful "kids movies" are the ones that have appeal across a wide age range. Family movies as they use to be called. Movies that are for kids and ONLY for kids tend to be obnoxious to parents and older siblings. This just looks atrocious. Like Bad CGI Sonic atrocious but for all of the movie assets. My prediction is that it will make money on name alone but it will completely damage the brand in the long run.

>>1010325 He merged two threads, I think >>991892 was the OP of the original thread from 2 months ago. As always, mods are fags.
>>1010215 I always hear people say there are no mobs or barely any mobs in minetest. Is this legit?
>>1010343 The mobs and netcode are the two things that are holding it back from being a decent minecraft clone. The last time I checked was about two years ago, but even on a singleplayer game the mob AI would just lag heavily and update its state only once every 2-5 seconds, even if the rest of the game is running at 60 FPS. Playing on a server is only good for building things and not much else.
>>1010343 Minetest is basically an engine. What it has depends on what mods you install. When I played it the default Minetest Game mode had a handful of mobs with ugly models, but nothing meaningful. I turned them off anyway because my preferred form of autismblocks is halfway between survival and creative: resource-limited, but otherwise free from interruptions or damage.
>>1010343 Minetest itself is just an engine. When people say this they mean Minetest Game, which is basically nothing more than a tech demo, a bad one at that. MTG has no mobs, yes. Over the years MTG got a worsening reputation and many people conflated the engine with the game itself, as it was pre-installed. It recently was unpackaged from the engine and now you have to install a base game yourself. MTG is very barren and I wouldn't recommend it, many of the games for Minetest have mobs and are much more featured. I don't understand why the engine devs refuse to expand on MTG, the creator of other Minetest games have openly criticized MTG and its complete lack of content yet the engine's developers insist on it staying as a "modding base".
>>1010344 >>1010345 If you ever give Minetest another try, play Mineclonia. It's considerably more developed and closer to Minecraft. Would you believe it, it actually has mobs that mostly work right? It only went up May of last year and has rapidly become one of the most popular games for the engine.
>>1010346 I remember playing a mod for it that essentially cloned most of minecraft and its mechanics pretty well. I think just farm animal AI was the only notably thing that bugged out as they would disappear sometimes. This was years ago so I'm guessing it's more fleshed out these days.

>>1009645 The repugnant aesthetics tells you all you need to know about its contents. A mob of jeering, savages, clutching picks and waving ores, violently occupying the lawn of the minecraft world, stomping on the personification of law and order in an aggressive act of defiance against civilization. In a word, the movie captures the essence of niggers. And that's what the movie is about too - being a nigger. Desecrating order and beauty. Inciting and glorifying violence. Obsessing over sexuality and reproductive organs. Gleefully tearing down all tenets of civilization, then blaming the white man for the black community's desolation and nihilism. Wallowing in victimization. Such a movie should provoke a visceral reaction of disgust in anyone that doesn't want to go back to the stone age. Consider how utterly unacceptable it would be for a white actor to feature a gang of white men gleefully killing a black man as their movie It would incite an uproar. The reverse barely registers, so ubiquitous and accepted is black violence. White fans of this are clueless. A white boy having this in his collection is like a Jew putting a Nazi flag up in their room. It is an incitement to violence. It is stochastic terrorism. Jared Hess would slit your throat if he had the chance, and drink the blood like a tribal warlord. Minecraft isn't about an oppressed crafter-poet speaking out against the powers-that-be to liberate his community; it's the sound of a resentful, sulking, rage-filled nigger who fantasizes daily about spilling the blood of his white neighbors. It's the sound of someone who smiles when he reads the headline that another white woman was raped and killed by his brothas. It's the look of someone who would spit in the drink of the white customers he was serving. It's the feel of someone who shouldn't be allowed access to firearms. It's the sound of someone who needs therapy.
>>1010364 I don't thinks its about niggers newline anon
>>1010215 It doesn't matter. The fact of the matter is that Notch promised to eventually open-source Minecraft, but he instead sold it to Microsoft who will probably never open-source the thing. I never understood his rational behind selling Mojang to Microsoft because he said that it was not about the money. If that's the case, then he could've just stopped development and open-source the thing. He was also planning on putting the thing under public domain so it was not like Microsoft couldn't have just forked it and made their own version. >>1010258 Even though Minecraft was originally popular mostly with computer geeks and college students, I feel like it was inevitable that Minecraft would eventually target a younger audience. It's a game that allows players to explore and unleash their imagination. What kind of child wouldn't like that.

>>1010374 "Classic" will be whatever people remember from their period with the game, which could be anything. I only played minecraft from the alpha until whenever they added endermen and villagers. For me the exploration and discovery was literally just finding a spider spawner and being completely perplexed by it. But I don't care what mobs are in the game as long as they aren't gay and retarded. I'm not fond of golems or villagers. Really when they started added signs of civilization to the game it lost the atmosphere it originally had of isolation.

Really snowmen would work better if there were crows in the game, like Stawdew, and they functioned like scarecrows. As far as civilization goes I always thought the best way to go about it would be giving the player an option to start with a village or outpost or something, like the bonus chest but better. Make it a world creation option. Then fill the rest of the world up with just ruins. If you wanted villagers then follow the Terraria and give the player a few NPCs that he can find. Just give a bunch of world creation options would be the best thing so the player can tune their experience exactly how they want it.

>>1011015 Bizarrely he's in the credits of Wonderlands, the fantasy Borderlands game. I think that's because he's also credited in Borderlands 2 for Minecraft assets, and Wonderlands uses content from 2. The last game I can find a genuine credit for is SanctuaryRPG: Black, where he's listed as a producer. He occasionally vagueposts about making a new game, but it's been over a decade since he's had any kind of active development role in anything. The man is rapidly heading towards becoming another John Romero, hell he's arguably already there. By 2005 Romero was long considered a hasbeen and that was only 9 years after Quake, Minecraft was 15 years ago.

>>1011129 Are you suggesting Notch very blatantly and publicly break the law? The second Notch sold Minecraft he lost the rights to the code, rights he sold for a billion dollars. People are assuming you don't understand Notch no longer has the rights because they don't think you're such a fucking idiot you'd unironically believe he should have commit a crime. There's irony in calling anybody else an imbecile as you clearly don't grasp the consequences of an action like that, selling the commercial rights to something you were planning to make public would be fraud. I'm not sure you even understand how illegal what you're suggesting is. We're talking "assets seized and sent to prison" levels of illegal. I'm going to guess what your next two responses might be >bro just opsec bro That might work a 38-year-old weeb pirating hentai, that would not work for what amounts to a billion dollar fraud. Microsoft are not stupid, even if he uploaded it to an onion site behind 7000 proxies on a burner laptop in a foreign country they'd still know it was probably him. It's genuinely very difficult to get away with cybercrimes if you have alphabets seriously looking for you, especially if the pool of suspects is as small as "people with access to Minecraft's code base". >yolo it bro do it for the lulz Immature shitposting on par with telling people to bomb a Walmart. Sure, Notch should have just ruined his life to please a lolbert on the internet.
>>1011129 The source code for minecraft is already deobfuscated and publicly available. It's been like that for years, only the very earliest mods were made without decompilation.
Why are so many of these kinds of fucking films isekai? Sonic (sort of). Monster Hunter. Mario. It's a pattern and I find it so strange, why is this? I'm half-expecting the Zelda movie to also be isekai.
On that note, why is isekai just a consistently trash genre?
>>1011223 Because the defining trait regarding classical isekai in how the characters usually have "go back to my original world"/"traverse between worlds" as a primary motivation has been largely lost due to global culture change/jewniggerfication depriving men of any hope in the future so overworked Asian Salarimen/suicidial teenagers attending cram school who will never marry or have enough money to buy a house thanks to asset price inflation/living costs etc. would rather kill themselves if it means they'll reincarnate as a hero with a harem to impregnate. SAO didn't even start this as it is still a classical isekai through and through, it was Log Horizon and Overlord that established the structural foundation of modern shitsekai with Re:Zero ultimately completing it, then all the boomer stonk market algos locked themselves in on gacha and formulaic isekai aided by (((少年ジャンプ))) shitcanning a number of promising non-isekike mango in the 2010s that could've made for decent slightly unconventional shounenshit and would've 100% been fully serialized in the early 2000s but clearly the isekai industry was more important. Of course all that largely applies to the East Asian take on it, the modern (((western))) version is rooted in DIE and thus worse than even the trashiest Korean webtoon on the subject matter.
>>1011223 its like the mumble rap of anime, its cheap, minimal risk, and the formula is pretty much set in stone. You can easily add a gimick with a slight twist and it will somehow appeal to some demographic. Like the trolls in homestuck that brought in tons of tumblr OC shipping normalfags. Just a recolor of horns and BAM, you have your own isekai. And the fact that EVERY AMATEUR MANGAKA IS FOLLOWING THIS TREND BECAUSE ITS EASY AND STILL POPULAR. Studios have found their new Safe and Reliable trope they can all jump in like mecha or Sentai. And yes the escapist fantasy is quite literally present here. Its natural that spreads until it metabolizes into a "truly unique and original isekai" that everyone else will follow that

Even though the MC's traveling with a smoking hot elf girl who accidentally gives him an aphrodisiac and offers to take responsibility for it, he tells her no, and he flat out states the reason he turned her down was because of how fucking pissed and hellbent on revenge he is. He doesn't hesitate for a fraction of a second to kill and often pretends to be a scared, weak guy to get people within range of his skills, which revolve around status ailments, so you get to see lots of slow, gruesome deaths by poison. Definitely appeals to the edgy teen in all of us. >just a bro having a really good time. Slime 300. It's about a Japanese girl who works herself to death in her wage cage in her 20s and regrets having lived a life of constant all nighters and academic and corporate bullshit, so a goddess reincarnates her and grants her eternal youth and beauty. MC proceeds to live a slow, peaceful life as the pharmacist of the village near her home, only killing the occasional slime on route to the village to give them medicines. Even after people find out she's max level after doing that for 300 years (fuck Sword Art Online for making publishers think every fantasy work, isekai or otherwise, needs video game elements), she still just wants to have a quiet, relaxed life.
I think the big problem with isekai which, which gets overshadowed by all the other problems with it, is that there’s no point in it being in another world. The worlds are all incredibly generic and uninteresting. They don’t invoke the feeling that going to another world should. If you want to write a power-fantasy harem whatever you can do it on earth. There are countless ways authors have introduced magic into ‘the real world’ over the years, so your MC can get overpowered through any number of them.

>>1011629 >If you want to write a power-fantasy harem whatever you can do it on earth. You can even do it in a fantastical world, with no isekai elements. Hopefully the success of Frieren and Dungeon Meshi, will bring a new wave of fantasy works that are not bound by isekai elements. A recent one I got recommended, is Tower Dungeon, sadly it currently only has 8 chapters in English(10 in Hue) as it is a monthly release, thankfully the artwork is interesting, the story is reminiscent of those 80s hardcore dungeon crawlers and the characters are fun, if a bit simplistic.
>>1011223 >>1011235 This but having gone through old technically classified Isekai series such as Dunbine and Twelves Kingdoms, it's because the world building sucks. Being a self insert series like Gate for example, it's technically an Isekai but it doesn't feel like one. Twelve Kingdoms has Youko being a Kaikyaku in a world she can't speak the language of, except she can due to the sword. There are things in the world like Youma, Rankas, Sen-nin and Kirins. There's a very deliberate attempt in building the world. Dunbine has Byston Well, set between the Shore and the Sea. The Mi Ferario open up the Aura Road to the Upper Earthers so they can become Aura Battlers for the various factions here. This is the coke induced brainchild from the guy who created Gundam. Gate has the JSDF travel through a gate to another world. They fight "the Empire" in a placed called "Tokuchi (Special Region)" with an obvious self insert and names like Pina Colada. The whole reason Star Wars can get away with "The Rebels" and "The Empire" is they have very distinct visual design. I want Isekai to actually be about developing worlds again, not just another self insert setting.
>>1011722 if you want to go even further back in time, we have western proto-isekai, like Alice in Wonderland, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Gulliver's Travels, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and John Carter of Mars(the MC was a confederate soldier). If you want to extend the list even more, then Robinson Crusoe and Dante's Inferno(human in a different world, helped by divine beings, to defeat the demon lord and save his waifu)
>>1011722 >worldbuilding That's one of the things SAO accidentally poisoned with its popularity, because it and a number of these transitional isekike were all of the VRMMORPG subtype with later successful series heavily relying on vidya conventions it birthed the hideous (((litrpg))) genre which is the singular centerpiece of most modern isekike works be they Nipponese, Chinkese or Gorean. Didn't help that SAO's worldbuilding was one of its weakest aspects. Modern isekike now uses "generic fantashi bideo geimu" as an ESG-compliant/algorithmically compatible template to quickly shit out assloads of generic trash so generic and "safe" it's sure to get serialized or sell a few thousand LN volumes+generate additional manga reader subscriptions+generate royalties from the anime adaptation, classical isekai had worldbuilding as its primary focus whereas modern day isekike skips a lot of it because everyone already knows what DQ and "modern isekai" are so there's no need to explain the underlying mechanics too much outside of rattling off epic lv99 cheat skill descriptions and RPG stats that are total shit by NPC standards but our MC uses this one weird trick to become the ultimate dungeon master and oh god I just want Best Korea to unite the peninsula already. Regarding classical isekai an excellent manga I can recommend here would be MÄR which ran in Jump from 2003 to 2006. It's a complete reversal of nearly all the modern isekike tropes even though the author likely had no idea it would end up as such, also a fun read though I stopped at the boring tournament arc all 2000s battle shounen were contractually obliged to have.

>>1011722 >using GATE as an example of self-insertion You can technically argue it is because the protag is a bit of an otaku, but GATE was clearly made more to show how modern military technology would destroy most of a fantasy setting. Plus most protags in isekai settings aren't actual trained and competent soldiers, they're just college students/losers.

>>1011748 So when doing an Isekai, you must have a loser protagonist just to keep the japanese from jumping off a building? That's how the genre took a dive deep down into mediocrity?
>>1012151 I just think its amateur storytellers combined with a popular idea that took over the public consciousness ("Dude imagine if we were actually inside the video game"), leading to a glut of them which companies saw people wanted and pumped out like hotcakes. The basic ideas were rewarded, not necessarily the quality of the writing. Plus SAO was a landmark title and all for said amateurs to draw inspiration from at the time, so when the model you're following isn't all that great, its not surprising that few actually turn out any good. Most of said writers were probably either college students or NEETs when they wrote those isekai webnovels, so yeah, its just self-insertion of inexperienced writers who copy ideas without putting much thought into them. I think its entirely possible to write good vidya isekai stories (even with a loser protagonist), its just that most of the people writing them seem to lack that capacity.
>>1011598 >Fukushuu o Koinegau Saikyou Yuusha wa, Yami no Chikara de Senmetsu Musou Suru The Strongest Hero Who Longs For Revenge Will Peerlessly Annihilate With The Power Of Darkness No isekai, but standard fantasy reincarnation. This is some of the edgiest shit on the current market. MC Hero goes ballistic after being betrayed by the kingdom™ (original idea, donut steel), including being raped by the king's bratty daughter. It's torture porn and it keeps introducing more and more bad people to kill because otherwise there would be no story.
>>1011027 I think it probably has to do with the fact that the indie scene has changed drastically ever since Minecraft was released. Java has fallen out in favor of languages like C# and JavaScript, a lot of indie devs use third-party engines like Unity and Godot over writing a game "from scratch", and nobody self-hosts games on their websites anymore, outside of FOSS and fangames. It's kind of like how Chris Sawyer dropped out of the games industry after Locomotion because his style of video games (isometric simulation games) were falling out of fashion.

Is Inuyasha considered an isekai since Kagome can travel back and forth freely and all?
>>1012664 Personally I label shows like it, Escaflowne and Digimon as "proto-isekai" as in the fact that it had elements of modern isekai, but it was before such elements were standardized and before shows like them got labeled as isekai. Or in other words, the draw and marketing of Digimon was less about Japanese schoolboys in another world, and more about monsters battling monsters.
>>1012411 The only thing that looked bad in that anime was the titular chainsaw man.
>>1012664 >Is Inuyasha considered an isekai since Kagome can travel back and forth freely and all? No, traveling between worlds doesn't make something isekai. The thing that really distinguishes isekai is the exploitation of meta-knowledge and the theme of "starting life over again, but with a unique advantage" - in short, it's almost always a power fantasy. This knowledge generally takes two forms, the first being practical knowledge (like, for example, being a trained engineer/chemist/doctor/etc. in a world that operates on similar principles to ours but where nobody knows about gunpowder or germ theory) and the second being advantageous knowledge of the "rules of the world". Overlord is an example of the latter case, where instead of knowledge of IRL topics Ainz has a hyper-detailed autismo awareness of every facet of the game that he was isekai'd into.
>>1012664 >>1012694 Time travel is not isekai. Isekai literally means another world, because so many isekai webnovels had that phrase in them. Time travel just gets lumped in it since nearly all isekai is just JRPG europe that it feels like 'time travel'. That's said the 'big fish in a small pond' power fanasty is a common theme the vast majority of isekai. If strictly using 72e0df4 defintion the following titles would be isekai. As these fill in the practical meta-knowledge requirement. Yet are 'all' time travel and no other world traveling. Although I have seen people mistake Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan (the one with girl and wolf) as a isekai. I think this lack of possibly being a 'big fish in a small pond' in the future is the reason why you don't see many scifi isekai. One of the few exceptions 'Mezametara Saikyou Soubi' the author admitted it was basically a Dangerous Elite fan fic.

>>1012709 If traveling to medieval Bohemia isn't traveling to another world, which road is gonna take me there?
>>1012709 First, it wasn't a definition. "Isekai" is a descriptive term, not a prescriptive term. Second, I would consider time travel to be firmly within the realm of historical fiction while isekai resides firmly outside of it.
>>1012915 What about if it's time travel to a fictional period in history? Things like Lord of the Rings and Conan have the conceit of being in our past, but the actual settings make little to no more use of that than all those other europe-esque isekai anime.
>>1012942 Didn’t we have this exact same discussion, right down to mentioning LOTR and Conan, a few months ago?
>>1012951 I wouldn't be surprised, but I wasn't in that thread, so I don't know how it resolved.
>>1012915 What about alt-history time travel? So like, Back to the Future is not an isekai when Marty travels back in time - but Back to the Future 2's future (because Biff had the sports book) is an isekai? Maybe that's a bit too short of a time span to change the classification - but say he went back to 65 million years ago and the ancestor of modern mammals ended up crawling into the Delorian's engine for warmth and got shredded in the engine fan. So when he returns to the future, it's populated by crab people or some shit. Would that be considered isekai?
>>1013028 Regarding isekai, it's kinda like that sandwich chart, in that different people have different tolerances to what they call "isekai", and we can even go into the extreme of saying that a basement dweller, after years of staying inside, goes outside to touch grass to get a breath of fresh air is an isekai. As for time travel, a better example would be Doctor Who as he is able to go not just anytime but anywhere as well. Interesting enough, we do have an official entry for the word "isekai" in the Oxford dictionary, and before anyone starts loosing their mind, keep in mind that we have a few other Japanese words in our language, such as karaoke, origami, karate, samurai, sake, soy and so on.
>>1012709 >Isekai literally means another world, because so many isekai webnovels had that phrase in them. 異世界's runes which (You) can see here literally equate to "different/wrong world", the term didn't originate from webnovels.

It's funny as shit that in all this isekike talk the original light novel that planted a shit ton of the tropes and conventions that would be seen in modern isekikes has never come up once in conversation. A lot of isekikes unconsciously take from this series because in the 00s it was very popular to write fanfiction for it on Naro.

>>1013196 Does the JP manual state something similar as well? You know (((localizers))) like to add shit that wasn't in the original version.

>>1013264 >>1013269 It was in the Japanese manual too. It seems like the manual was a literal translation.
>>1013297 A lot of older translations are more literal than you'd think unless the script sounds blatantly fucking retarded with slang or accents.
>>1013313 It was really hit and miss back then. Zelda and Mario got pretty literal translations, but Sonic got brand new stories. You could never tell what you were going to gebot linkga Man isn't just not called Mega Man in the original, but "Robot Master" isn't even a term in the original. Also, I'm the guy who brought up Majora's Mask and said it being an alternate world isn't mentioned in the game. Thanks for educating me.
>>1013325 Past the mid 90s the translations were decent enough, I can't think of too many bad standouts that weren't just Working Designs.
>>1013346 >I can't think of too many bad standouts that weren't just Working Designs. What about a lot of Sony games?
>>1013374 I was just playing Jumping Flash! 2 today, and I don't know exactly what it's like in Japanese, but the English dub really sounds like an 80s/early '90s comedy anime dub, like Samurai Pizza Cats or something. It really gives me the impression that it's not very accurate. Some other Sony first party games, like Parappa the Rapper, seem like they're likely somewhat accurate. Um Jammer Lammy has a censored level, though. Ape Escape oddly has two different English dubs, but neither one seems terribly fucked up, aside from names being changed. Crash and Spyro were published by Sony back then, and famously were quite different in Japan. In Crash it was mostly just the boxart and some extra cutscenes and stuff, though the boxart was very noticeably a different style. Spyro was absolutely butchered as a game, though. I guess I'm not sure if these were Sony's fault or Universal's, though. I know Sony got a lot worse in more recent years, but I just don't play any of those games. They stopped making all the types of games I liked. The last good stuff they had was Gravity Rush. They changed the title and character names, but in relatively minor ways, compared to some other games.
>>1013186 It's been years since I've seen that. Louise was such a cunt. I don't remember any character development actually sticking. Imagine being the main bitch and taking a billion years to be anything more than worst girl. Doesn't help that the author died before the last volume released.
>>1013346 >I can't think of too many bad standouts that weren't just Working Designs. This anon are sick.
>>1013495 Your English is terminally ill.
>>1013374 I didn't think to mention Sony's English to Japanese releases, I know about the Transformers cartoon shit, which is funny to me given 4kids 'localizations'. >>1013495 FF7 was fine, FF8 had worse liberties with Squall someone pointed out with his catchphrase he'd just repeat when he was saying different things.
>>1013313 I remember the GB and GBC Zelda games using a lot of slang in their dialogue for whatever reason. I doubt it was in the Japanese version of the games.
>>1011743 I can smell your filthy Locomotion stench... I miss that fucking channel so much.
>isekike Is this a new term the zoomers in /a/ using these days.
>>1013609 I know these people use region accents as a excuse a lot when typically it's just robot speak in games unless it's a parody like kabuki theater, you just wouldn't know unless you translated it yourself or just threw it in deepl or something nowadays I guess.
>>1013617 Probably
>>1013621 I just remember them being more prevalent in the early portable Zeldas. Granted, those games had less serious plots, especially Link's Awakening, so I guess that makes sense.
>>1013632 Link's Awakening's font was irritatingly big, I fixed it by vwf patch
>>1013718 Irritating on a monitor, but back on Game Boy big text made sense. The display was only a 2.5-inch diagonal.

>>1013977 I think it's his pic related.
>>1013977 >>1013985 Hero academia, the manga ended last month. The MC Deku, gave up his powers to defeat the bad guy and eventually became just a powerless teacher in the timeskip. I knew I was I good idea to drop it when they forced the students to baby sit some kids as 'training'.
>try to avoid getting spoiled on anime I have at least a vague interest in >people keep spoiling it in completely unrelated places GDI
>>1014004 Don't use the internet then.
>>1013999 How did people take the ending? Why is it so bad he gave up his powers to save the world?
>>1014004 At least now you know it wasn't worth your time.
>>1014004 >GDI KANE LIVES
>>1014029 Ah, i see. The cuck angle. Did something happen to MC's love interest? I just want to know why sacrificing to save the world is now a bad ending.

>>1014031 >Did something happen to MC's love interest? Nothing happened and that's the problem. A 10 year timeskip later and we see Deku have a miserable time as a teacher as he was left behind by his classmates to be the heroes he never got to be. Also the love interest has no ring or confirmation of a relationship because Hori was too chickenshit to do anything with his protagonist. So it's more like the entire class running a train on his dreamjob while he remained a wage-slave for a decade and watched. Pic related.

Nothing did, and that's the issue. >I just want to know why sacrificing to save the world is now a bad ending. Basically, he ends up losing his powers fighting the final boss and then just... gives up on being a hero or having anything to do with heroes (including his friends) and becomes a wagie for eight (8) years while all of his friends become successful and famous and then out of nowhere he gets gifted power armor and goes back to being a hero on the last page of the last chapter. Literally zero character development since the beginning of the entire fucking series when he was crying about being powerless and then got handed a ridiculously OP power for free and in the meanwhile none of the relationships he had with anyone ended up meaning anything at all.

I always think to give the author enough benefit of the doubt that they have enough pull to write the story they want but can someone tell me how much do they have to bend over so publishers can keep pumping waifu merch and popularity polls?

>>1014084 >Sure, but not the kind that fights living tornadoes or tungsten gorillas. >Which is the problem with using superpowered fights as a metaphor for everyday problems. Yeah, and the issue is that he completely gave up. Once his incredibly OP asspull powers were gone he said "welp, guess I'm done being a hero" and went off into something else entirely - until he got ANOTHER set of powers dropped into his lap at which point he went back to hero work.

>>1014091 There was a lot of bitching about how Gantz ended with a 'movie ending' and that was seinen Jump.
>>1014091 I was talking about the massive audiences they pull in who won't shut up about it. It's like opening the dumpster and being shocked you get trash. Just look at how bad Berserk became even before Miura died.
The Minecraft movie will also pull in a massive audience of kids who won't shut up about it.

>>1014179 The oldest zoomers are like 27. Also I don't know why anons treat "zoomer" like some cuckchan lingo, it's an extremely mainstream term.
>>1014179 >It predates z*mers reaching adulthood. Genuinely never heard of it
>>1014180 Cuckchan and mainstream aren't very different. Cuckchan getting cucked to follow mainstream ideologies and trends is why we came to 8chan in the first place.
(2.82 MB 640x360 gen z humor then vs now.mp4)

>>1014180 It proliferated from cuckchan to the mainstream. They had a phase of these kinds of -oomer terms, often coinciding with some sort of nujak. >zoomer >coomer >doomer >30-year old boomer And so on.
>>1014240 Coomer shit spawned out of one mod on cuckchan getting supremely butthurt over everyone using the phrase "cumbrain" to the point where he globally banned the word. So they all started using coomer instead. It was an independent evolution from words like zoomer. Zoomer is the natural evolution from everyone complaining about retarded boomers. Gen Z, -> Zoomer. I suppose it was probably popularized on cuckchan, but it rolls off the tongue as an organic word more than the other shit.
>>1014257 I thought that it was a simple portmanteau: Gen-Z + Boomer (because they act like Boomers) = Zoomer
Demonslayer is good.
Meincraft is for nazis. I am one of them.
>>1014427 That's because it's an any% speedrun of typical battle shonen plot. It cut a lot of the padding, and filler bullshit.

>>1014437 Most people don't use "filler" to refer to the manga.
>>1014180 Never compare someone my age to a zoomer again you piece of shit
>>1015280 97' is generally considered to be the start of Gen Z, whether you like it or not. At best it's considered right between millennial and Gen Z as its own special donut steel year.
>>1015428 Never in my life did I ever hear myself classified as anything other than Millennial or "Gen Y" until I was well into adulthood. It seems so sudden and forced, and very out-of-touch. Being on 8chan since 2014 and voting for Trump the 1st time is not a zoomer experience.
>>1015522 Because people don't start naming a new generation until a large portion of them exist within cultural spaces. 1998 doesn't come around and people suddenly start talking about how obnoxious this new wave of infants are. Young people are millennials until there are a lot of gen Z that are adults. Then young people become gen Z. But that doesn't change the established lines for the generations. Either way it's retarded to give a single fuck what generation you're technically classified under. Being offended at being called gen Z is embarrassing.
>>1015280 Generational lines are retarded anyway, I know plenty of people who technically are baby boomers but act like Gen X'ers >>1015522 It was called the "Igeneration" (as in Ipod, Iphone, etc) until very recently. Originally "Zoomer" referred to Baby Boomers who were physically active into their sixties and seventies.

You know, if anything I feel slightly bad for the kid actors in that movie. Jack Blacks career is being propped up by movies made to fit his character, Jason Mimosa has enough star power thanks to turning aqua man into a sex icon, but those kids are always going to be known as "the kids from the shitty minecraft movie". Who knows, maybe that wont be a bad thing, everyone in the trailer looks so disinterested in what they're doing, like being in a whole new reality with weird rules is as mundane as a living in california and seeing a man defecate on the sidewalk.
