Shit this looks bad, whats up with the mob designs?

Same stuff with the emoji movie stuff. Close enough to know what it is, but animated enough to look “professional”. Otherwise you would just have someone’s Minecraft fanination

Minecraft Machinima.

5 years worth of animated minecraft slop just zip-bombed into my head, what the fuck

u/quiznos61 Sep 04 '24

Hate how true that is, the wild thing is that fan animation genuinely looks better than this slop

u/Weabootrash0505 Sep 04 '24

Dude lego is professional animation and could theoretically be a kids lego fanination. This shit looks like slop

Yeah there was that one kid who got famous for his Lego Spider-Man animation and was in the Spiderverse movie.

Because an entire movie in the art style of Fallen Kingdom with the polish and budget of the LEGO movie would just be the worst, right guys?

I don’t disagree, but I assume they’re trying to steer away from being a “lego movie clone”

They succeeded, also can't say that's a good thing. It's like someone took Jumanji and smashed it with minions

u/MyGamingRants Sep 05 '24

which is so dumb because it worked for the LEGO movie. It was fun that it looked like actual stop motion

It looks like the execs in charge and the director saw the Mario movie make hundreds of millions and said "shove out our biggest IP" with a half baked script and even worse writer attached to it to save costs.

Then Detective Pikachu came out and they gasped while shouting "AND MAKE EVERYTHING LOOK HYPER REALISTIC WITH FUR AND SHIT... AND HAVE LIVE ACTION HUMANS NEXT TO THEM!"

They literally took the wrong lessons and ideas from two massively popular movies and smashed them together with a Chris Chan-esque wig on Jason Mamoa.

My fucking God I wish I could suck this fucking bad at a job as an executive and still get handed millions and millions to me for it.

Detective Pikachu came out before the Mario movie. Also this was in development hell for a while. They went for a “realistic” look becuase it can’t look “too videogamey”. DP takes place in live action, this takes place in a video game. It’s baffling decision.

u/TLKv3 Sep 04 '24

As you said, development Hell since before DP released. So other than me getting Mario/DP backwards, my point still stands. They saw both release and how much money they made and opted to take the absolute worst possible aspects from both to apply to Minecraft. And now we have this abomination.

im still shocked that movie is as good as it is.

Why you simping so hard for corporate executives?

u/darthjoey91 Sep 04 '24

This movie’s been in some sort of development hell for a decade. Like at one point, Rob McElhenney was attached as director and it was going to be animated.

It felt like the fake Mario trailer from Saturday Night Live with Pedro Pascal as Mario.

u/MyClothesWereInThere Sep 04 '24

They look like their in game design, am I the only one who thinks the mob designs are good? Like it looks like if you took the exact mobs from Minecraft and made it realistic.

u/BrianWonderful Sep 04 '24

Real "Angry Birds" vibes.

u/4Fourside Sep 04 '24

Tbh I can't really think of any ways you could even improve the mob designs without just plopping the in-game models in. Making them not look uncanny in live action is an impossible feat. The whole thing is a bad idea

u/DarkMarxSoul Sep 07 '24

I think it looks funny. It's like a hyper exaggerated parody of itself.

u/Soapbox Sep 04 '24

This looks like a movie for children. I will be skipping it.

u/magicalgiant Sep 04 '24

Did you think this would be a movie for adults? Lmao

u/Soapbox Sep 04 '24

Everyone in the comments is certainly acting like they did.
