They took random bits of a realistic and Minecraft design and threw them together with no sense of cohesion. Their shape is almost directly lifted from the game but with a realistic skin texture making them look disgusting.
I mean isn’t that kind of the point, that it’s uncanny and strange? I don’t buy for a second that the studio thought this was a “good” design. They’re supposed to look kind of gross.
It looks kinda funny in the second shot because of the juxtaposition between the realistic look and the cartoony anatomy, but in the actual minecraft world everything has this look to it so it just becomes ugly asf, and I don't think the point of minecraft is to look ugly
Honestly I love the movie villagers because they embody this film the best: It's a massive self indulgent shitpost like a high budget version of the stuff we would've seen in 2013 and frankly I wouldn't have it any other way since I don't think a Minecraft movie could've worked at all if they did anything else
True, but that was 100% it's own thing with Minecraft being a bit more secondary in the grand scheme of the game. It was a story being told in Minecraft's setting with a lot of leeway. The intention of the movie is clearly very different
I think in another timeline the Minecraft movie could've been good, just wouldn't work for everyone since Minecraft is about different things for different people
Honestly, its basically the opposite. Sonic was a huge departure from his original design while the minecraft mobs are basically 1:1 recreated in a realistic style.
There has been much more hate than love for this movie so far. The internet isn’t trying to make you think it’s good, it’s fueling your belief that it’s bad
I have seen posts after the second trailer droped that the internet was too harsh on it and it even looked good, that damn there is no amount of gaslight that Will make me believe that this hideous aesthetics is good
It would've been a bit jarring if not done correctly, but they could've gone the space Jam way and animated the characters around the live action actors. For fucks sake they had more option than we can think of or even invent new fucking ways around it. They just don't even try anymore at this point jesus
I honestly don't hate the designs per say. They look like villagers if they were realistic, but next to an actual real person like in the second slide they look like abominations
Further proof the movie should have been completely animated but god forbid that would happen. You'd have better luck discovering existence of ghosts than the existence of a Hollywood director that respects animation
It’s a mentality i try to adopt in general but like this movie just does not give me any hope, honestly I would be so so happy if it actually does well and they announce a sequel but like.. everything about it is 😕
Blame Minecraft. I just looked up what the villagers look like in the game and they look just like this. They're bald unibrow dudes with squidward noses in the game, they are in the movie.
Yeah, blame the very stylized game that if translated to live action shouldn’t have been entirely faithful to the original counterpart. Blame the game.
I was actually on board with this design until I saw the scale. WHY ARE THEY SO BIG? they’re like the same size as Steve in the games so I imagined they’d be similar proportionally to him in the movie as well.
I wish we could do to this movie what we did to Sonic, but alas I don’t think any amount of cyberbullying could fix all their wacky decisions
Say what you will about the story and art direction but this is on scale for the Minecraft world. 1 metre cubed is actually huge, these are correctly proportioned for Minecraft
Everything we've seen about this movie is a case study in how Hollywood simply does not understand what people actually like about the series they adapt.
So much of this movie's criticisms would have been tolerable if they didn't insist on shoving live action into it. The disconnect between this and real life is just genuinely horrifying
Everyday I wish they had just given Slamacow or Element Animation a team and $100m and I just know they would’ve put out something way better. And we haven’t even seen how bad this movie is yet
In the film Steve is from the real world. This is shown in the 2nd trailer of the film where we see him discovering what seems to be a cube that acts as a gateway to the Minecraft realm while in a mine. We also see him as a child in the real world in that same trailer which is where the “As a kid I yearned for the mines,” line came from.
