Teaser for a Minecraft movie is here and fans are simply rejecting it. What's creating more buzz is a fan-made animation trailer. SO, what's the deal?
A Minecraft Movie | Teaser but it's actually Minecraft
Remember when the Sonic the Hedgehog movie faced massive backlash, and the studio had to turn the project around? They had to redesign Sonic back to his humble, cartoonish appearance instead of the monstrosity we saw before. Yes, democracy is a funny thing, and it can make studios do a lot of things. To be fair, studios that learn to please audiences rarely do bad business. So why not?
We've seen fan movements make or break movies, bring a director back from the dead, and get the fan service they want with appearances, cameos, and more. Now we can observe the beginning of another such fan movement – this time for the new Minecraft movie starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black. A fan just recreated the entire trailer for A Minecraft Movie in animation, and it's preferable to the "live-action" version.
So, what exactly is the problem with the A Minecraft Movie teaser? Let's start with the primary question: it doesn't feel familiar at all. Minecraft was a phenomenon – a phenomenon that refuses to die out. When YouTube creators started putting their streaming hours into this then "indie game" we saw it rise. Society loved the learning and freedom that the world offered.
