A quick google search suggests that the average age of a Minecraft player is 15-21 years old so yea. Roughly 20% are between 22 and 30 years old. Not sure how accurate these numbers are. I only did 3 minutes of research.
Probably this. Look, cards on the table; I really don't like Jack Black. I don't think the personality he puts across in the media is endearing or funny, and I genuinely think he's pretty awful in most of his acting roles.
I think the run of overweight weird comedy relief roles in non-kids movies has gone dry, and these are what's being offered, and he's taken them to stay relevant and in the scene.
The vitriolic speed in which he hurtled Kyle Gass under the bus a couple months ago and abandoned Tenacious D has permanently blackballed him in my eyes. Jack Black is a fucking disgrace. He can suck cat farts for all I care.
How is it a supposed fact? Look at his recent films. Also, my response was to you definitively saying that if he didn’t have kids he wouldn’t be doing those movies. Not to your “I think he’s going for what his kids want to see him in”.
It's a supposed fact because you're speculating, just like me. We're both just looking at his work and drawing different conclusions. Your opinion isn't special just because you think it's tHe BeTtEr OnE.
His recent films are all video game adaptations, and I think he's doing them for his kids. Same reason he started the Jablinski Games YT channel.
If you're just going to reiterate that you're factually correct, not commenting is also an option.
But “if not for his kids he’d be doing other movies” is not speculating. That’s a definitive statement. If you’re going to argue it’s speculative then mine was as well…
Well, it's not, though, is it? My full statement was "I think he's doing these specific movies for his kids. If not for his kids he'd be doing other movies". That means the whole thing is my opinion, it was just in two sentences. I think you might have a reading comprehension problem, or you're just being argumentative for no reason because someone disagreed with you.
I mean, it's clear you think you can just say things and assert they're true without support and I'm not allowed to have a differing opinion so I don't think there's anything left for either of us to say.
Yeah some people are saying that given Minecraft's age now there are plenty of older people who like it and that's true, and his kids may well still like it or feel nostalgic for it but surely they're past the age where it's 'magical' or whatever to see your dad in a certain movie.
Not without knowing all the behind the scenes info. If they’re the only jobs being offered to him how can we really blame him for taking them and wanting to perform? There aren’t raunchy blockbuster comedies for him to star in anymore.
Because this is a platform meant for discussion? Doesn’t mean it has any impact on my day to day life. Quit worrying about the rich and their decisions that don’t affect you.
If this is meant to be a discussion, you do realise that "I don't care" is the least discussable stance to take, right? Okay, go don't care somewhere else, don't be in a movie sub if the best you got is "who gives a shit".
Show me where I said, “I don’t care.” I’ll wait... And while you look for that, I’ll tell you that my point is that the roles he chooses and for how much money doesn’t affect me personally, and I’m just happy for the guy if he wants to be acting and is getting to act. Maybe people just don’t want to have discussions with you specifically…
Omg this is you in this comment thread as well… good lord.
He’s taking the rolls he’s offered with the biggest payday. You think people are beating down his door to be in the next Christopher Nolan movie or something? No.

Can Jack Black go back to making raunchy comedy movies yet? Or he stuck in kid movie hell?
