Tbf, you shouldn't be that disrespectful to writers that make a bad movie/show. Unless there's something morally wrong about it, direct your blame to the company or brand at most. Just don't go watch their stuff in the future. Never hate watch unless you're pirating. Hate watching earned us a second season of that Velma show afterall.
tbf, we don't know much about the movie yet. Sure the CGI creatures are godawful but maybe the writing will be decent?... well probably not
the only hope i have is that Minecraft is big enough of a name that they'd allow the creators to take financial risks, such as: being creative
I mentally prepared myself to watch the trailer, but honestly, it looks very safe, as they certainly know the association is enough to bring profit. Much like the Mario movie IMO, there's only so much storytelling you can get from conglomerate media.
First couple scenes I really had the impression that the backdrop was AI'd, but overall it looks like the budget went to everything other than costumes and sets. JB most certainly picked a blue T shirt out of the wardrobe and called it good.. if they don't even show armor I'll be thoroughly disapointed, its about the minimum costume design
Half the movie is just him throwing down beds grinding for Netherite
but like, it would have been less effort and expense to use the regular minecraft animation style, since there's no fur rendering, and of course that would have also been infinitely more appealing.
Oh I mean people have already reanimated it, which only proves your point... if people were reanimating the Lego movie after the first trailer, it wouldn't have become the success it has. There's a reason they hired by talent for that project
