minecraft the movie - aka autism the movie; aka stuck in development hell

ON the law of equivalent exchange: we now have a ton of realistically sculpted tiny jack blacks. LIMITLESS shitpost potential there that hopefully won't be squandered like the suicide squad's tiny will smith figures. They're cheaper than those were too, so there's potential. Would not be surprised if jack black was fully aware of this given what he's been up to in terms of online activity the last few years.


I can just envision gi joe/figure custom people going fucking WILD with the 4 inch one. All he's missing to be on par with expensive adult collector line figures in that same scale is a wrist swivel and ankles. Hell, even those adult collector line figures took their stuff from the 25th gi joe/marvel universe figures articulation wise, which were made for kids and adult collectors during the 2000s-early 2010s.

We're now in this EXTREMELY fucking weird era where stuff that isn't like over 100 dollars marketed towards to adults is mainly shit like funko pops and the stuff marketed to kids is shit that's got uncomfy levels of realism and accuracy but cheaped out on articulation and materials. I think I rambled about that before in shit like the transformers thread but this minecraft movie is like the PRIME example of that.

Unrelated but I really have a distain for the modern method of product shots where it's either white background with color n box text or badly photoshopped in child taking up over 60% of the image. It's like they're mimicking the worse knockoff scammer "amazing gift for adult teen woman child men" type amazon listings from years ago, but it's just for everything now. Some titles for products are now that shit too. I remember laughng like 8 years ago at a bootleg hoodie listing that had like 50 different fucking nouns and verbs on it calling it "ocsplay" or "hallloween" and it was just like a fucking hoodie with some logo on it that wasn't even good for anything like that.

Baby hulk...
 
I don’t understand any decision made about this movie.

The movie was in dev hell for long enough people thought t was never coming out and the plot s thankfully different than the initial stuff about some girlboss kid being the best at minecraft or whatever shit that was people were clowning on when the snynopsis was talked about.
We now get jack black steve taking some losers on an autistic adventure through cgi cube nightmare world and he seems to be like the one guy actually having fun because he clearly very likely just knows how this things' gonna be perceived by people.
I want my tiny jack black army but when I checked last time he's sold out everywhere I look online and scalped to hell.

Really appreciate the throwback to wincingly ugly 2000's CGI movies.
Also, they're doing a crossover with Doritos over here with dedicated stands. I was disappointed because I thought it was a merch stand and I would've 100% gotten a Jack Black figurine.
 
Between "General Chungus" the "In Love With A Villager" subplot and this I'm not convinced this movie isn't an elaborate shitpost/social experiment. For this specific promo I can only assume they're trying to target Young Sheldon watchers with kids who'll bring them to see the movie. Why Young Sheldon? Fuck if I know.
 
A few more days until the greatest movie of all time drops


You know jack black just being fully aware of the kind of movie he's in and rolling with it has just tainted my mind to the point my subconcious can barely tell the difference between these images anymore.

I just see someone riding a chicken and I hear him screaming in the back of my head
Also they got minecraft figures in stores now but everywhere I go "steve" jack black is not stocked on shelves and he's scalped online with amazon being the one sanely priced one but saying he releases in june when he's already out.

I'm going to beat this drum until I die but they could've made a really fun Jack Black Minecraft movie and they just didn't.
The 4 losers who exist solely to react to things is perfectly emblematic of the contempt Hollywood has for gaming.

They also could have instead of making him trapped in the cube dimension just like gone with the kinda implied post some kind of calamity sort of world implied by minecraft's little bits of world lore. I pointed that out but it'd be genuinely funny seeing jack black tweak out having a fun adventure in a fucking grassy wasteland for 3 to 4 hours.
EDIT: also it would accurately be around the time of a short minecraft game session which would be cosmicaly relevant to some degree.

Just say Flint and Steel man
"this movie is what people need during a time of war and voilence in the world but it also has war and violence but it's about friendship so it's ok" Is pretty funny in terms of "messaging" honestly. Wish there was audio of him actually saying that shit.
