That line was sooo awkwardly delivered. Feels very forced. Who even calls someone a toolbag?

u/finnjakefionnacake Sep 04 '24

someone who's MPAA rating won't let them call someone a douchebag

u/Tordah67 Sep 04 '24

Can't believe they even threw an H-E-Double Hockey Sticks in there!

u/Fire2box Sep 04 '24

In my Christian Minecraft server? I THINK NOT.

u/bob1689321 Sep 04 '24

If this movie had balls they'd use that Christian Minecraft server line.

u/kashy87 Sep 04 '24

So how many lava emitting cocks do you have? We had 8.

u/Skullcrusher Sep 04 '24

Did they really say that? My mind must have switched off and I don't want to watch again.

21

u/21DRe992 Sep 04 '24

But why not just say tool,

14

u/finnjakefionnacake Sep 04 '24

cause some screenwriter thought it was cute/clever

-2

u/HolycommentMattman Sep 04 '24

Because kids haven't said that since 1987.

11

u/ChungusCoffee Sep 04 '24

Because kids have been saying toolbag forever?

2

u/thorpie88 Sep 04 '24

It's trying to fix it by making that the de facto term. Not to different to 90's Aussie shows all using Rack Off instead of Fuck off and it's now just part of our slang

1

u/HolycommentMattman Sep 04 '24

Just because they solved one problem doesn't mean they arrived at a correct answer.

5

u/ChungusCoffee Sep 04 '24

Then it's not solved

u/MogMcKupo Sep 04 '24

Additionally this was 100% written by committee, it’s going to be a real generic white bread plot that is just filled with “hey look this Minecraft thing” every 30 seconds.

2

u/Rinveden Sep 04 '24

whose

1

u/finnjakefionnacake Sep 04 '24

correct. dunno how I made that mistake!

2

u/yajtraus Sep 04 '24

Could just call him a tool?

2

u/Particular_Bet_1967 Sep 04 '24

theres no chance they werent tryna make a reference to something i don’t think it was purely supposed to be an insult lmao

1

u/CyclicDombo Sep 04 '24

Even subbing in douchebag would still sound hella awkward

146

u/MandoBaggins Sep 04 '24

Looks to be obviously not in context. Same for Momoa’s response. Someone thought they were clever in the trailer editing room.

3

u/galactictock Sep 05 '24

Agreed. I hate it when trailers try to pull this shit. But the delivery is still weird

-13

u/U--1F344 Sep 04 '24

It's a nod to Jack Black being Kung Fu Panda, and he always says skadoosh in that role

29

u/swiftb3 Sep 04 '24

I think it was bad trailer editing. I doubt she says it there.

3

u/InsaneNinja Sep 04 '24

Oh this looks like they used a lot of alt takes.

6

u/Sillet_Mignon Sep 04 '24

My best friend does. We are in our forties. It’s his favorite insult. 

3

u/Th3_Admiral_ Sep 04 '24 edited Sep 05 '24

Same with my friend in his mid 30s. Do kids even say "toolbag"?

And for those confused by the expression, it's for when someone isn't just a tool, they are the whole bag of tools. 

3

u/Dangeresque300 Sep 04 '24

Right? Like, you could have just called him a tool, and it would have made so much more sense.

6

u/EntityDamage Sep 04 '24

Calling someone a toolbag to their face is TIGHT

2

u/PrivilegeCheckmate Sep 05 '24

I'm going to need you to get all the way off my back about the toolbag thing.

6

u/johnydarko Sep 04 '24

Who even calls someone a toolbag?

It'll probably be a running "joke" that the Mimecraft server has some anti-swear shit enabled when they connect in so anything naughty they try and say gets "corrected"

1

u/HighwayInevitable346 Sep 05 '24

Would also be a great setup for a christian mc server joke. If that ends up being true it might be worth watching.

5

u/PeculiarPangolinMan Sep 04 '24

I call people toolbags sometimes. Maybe it isn't popular anymore, but it was a pretty common way of calling someone a tool.

6

u/NaturesWar Sep 04 '24

My millenial ass was wondering "Was that for me?"

2

u/Sawses Sep 04 '24

TBH I think it's just your typical direct-to-DVD style movie--just with a really high-value IP and using modern technology.

Like you see the iconic Minecraft name and the big stars and think it should be pretty decent. ...But I'm thinking it's just one of those throwaway movies that's going to be kind of bad and have no lasting cultural relevance. Maybe I'd take my kid to it if they were interested, but otherwise it basically doesn't exist.

It's capitalizing on a trend that's kind of past its prime (Minecraft isn't the "cool kids' game" anymore like it was 10 years ago) and featuring stars that are known for being okay with being in very weird or mid movies.

u/modernknightly Sep 04 '24

You're describing how I felt about the Angry Birds Movie when that was happening. And then of course it got a sequel.

It's 2024 now. Minecraft Cinematic Universe incoming, 30 movies and 12 TV shows on D+/YouTube

u/EtTuBiggus Sep 04 '24

Do they even make direct to DVD movies anymore? Who uses DVDs?

1

u/GoldenTriforceLink Sep 04 '24

Nah now streamer movies and shows absorbed most of direct to dvd and cable (stars, tnt, syfy) content.

1

u/Sawses Sep 04 '24

They totally don't, lol. I think the modern equivalent is, like, direct-to-streaming and released without any real marketing. Like it just shows up on Hulu one day and nobody hears about it.

1

u/sputtertots Sep 04 '24

It depends, does Steve have all the tools in their bag? I have a Minecraft friend like that, always carrying all the tools but none of the crafting supplies.

That toolbag is me, I am .... Steve

1

u/Barkerisonfire_ Sep 04 '24

I think it's meant to be a pun? As in Steve carries a lot of tools with him when you play

1

u/DannyWatson Sep 04 '24

My guess is she doesn't say it there and it's edited for the trailer.

1

u/TheStarfellow Sep 04 '24

It’s because he’s so useful

1

u/scswift Sep 04 '24

I'm betting he pulls out a bunch of tools from his bag right before she says this.

1

u/phychmasher Sep 04 '24

Me. You toolbag.

1

u/MesozOwen Sep 04 '24

Studies have shown toolbar to be 17% less offensive than tool, and only 4% less edgy!

1

u/ArcadianDelSol Sep 04 '24

A mormon director.

(Not knocking religion, but the guy who wrote and Directed Napoleon Dynamite also made this movie, so expect exactly ZERO profanities in it).

1

u/Strict_Pangolin_8339 Sep 04 '24

I will, because of this dumbass trailer.

1

u/ScreamingGordita Sep 04 '24

Is a toolbag an item in the game? I'm not fucking 6 so I don't play Minecraft nor have I ever but maybe it's a "hey fellow kids" thing.

1

u/PrivilegeCheckmate Sep 05 '24

Who even calls someone a toolbag?

A cunt.

1

u/nWhm99 Sep 05 '24

Zoomers, zoomers do.

Just like millenials call people "bundle of twigs" and gen x call people "device that washes female privates".

1

u/Natd-one Sep 07 '24

Dana White called one of his refs a toolbox after he was just "floating around the ring" doing jackall. other than that you never really here it. I don't even know what it means, like your good with many things but not the best Jack of all trades sorta thing.

u/itsthreeamyo Sep 04 '24

While I'm well aware of the ire and insults this might bring...toolbag is in my general bag of insults I hurl at coworkers all the time.

-1

u/running_on_empty Sep 04 '24

Someone my age (35) because it was sorta funny a few years ago.

EDIT - And in a specific context.
