Is anyone going to see A Minecraft Movie this week?

I'm not exactly hyped for it, but it's a film based on a game I've played for years and tons of fond memories playing along with my friends, so I'm definitely still curious about it. If I actually decide to watch it, it's probably not gonna be until it's on streaming platforms.
I'm probably gonna see it Saturday, not 100% sure yet but that's the plan. Gonna see it with my grandma and little sister.

I don't really like what they went for, and I'm not "hyped" about it either, but I still like it enough to go see it. I've loved Minecraft since I first played it in April 2011, it's my favorite game, and I at least like a lot of what I've seen of it despite wishing they did something else, so yeah. I hope my little sister likes it, it seems there's at least some funny scenes.

There's too many animatronics nowadays.
For real, I can't keep count of all of the robots that are trying to kill me. Except Balloon Boy, he's just an asshole. Like, even Funtime Freddy's hand puppet kills you. Balloon Boy just steals your batteries and laughs at your dumb ass til Withered Foxy dives into your DMs. So now I got his hook in my throat and the last thing I hear is that ****ing laugh. I hate Balloon Boy, and I hate FNAF 2 for ****ing me sideways.

The Puppet was a cool addition though.

Billions of lore videos


Yet no one can answer why Balloon Boy needs to live.

No. He’s boring to me. The “Superman problem” has always bothered me in CBMs.
I think this movie is EXACTLY what the comic book movie scene needs these days. I can unfortunately understand why some people see him as boring as he’s the hero that other heroes are held up to as a standard, he’s the Mickey Mouse/Mario of superhero media but I think it sucks how much people can’t look past that because he has some damn good stories under his belt and has endured all these years for a reason. Superman is more than just his powers, so many people just focus on the “Super” part and neglect the “Man” part.

What are your personal thoughts on Bananza thus far?
I only saw the tutorial area but a big tjing I just realized is that Nintendo doesn't really do what others tell them, so the complaints about too many moons in Odyssey is about to become tenfold, so the DK64 problem of too much stuff might end up coming back. I'd need to play the game for myself to see how it plays but I'm also wondering if there's more to smashing things up beyond the catharsis of "Wow I broke that" and gold seeing as 3 of the 4 face buttons are dedicated to smashing things up. I have a friend who loves DK and if he gets the Switch 2 early I can probably try to play it at his place

Btw looking at the Bravely Default remaster and it being the same price at launch as the 3ds original was makes me believe it's gonna be a fairly strong launch title on account of being way more affordable than anything else, it's legit 50 euros cheaper than Mario Kart, what are we doing here

Thats a sign to say "**** getting this 80 buck Mario game. Imma get this kick ass SE RPG thats the same price it was as a 3ds game"

Also everyone should play Bravely Default for the main character Ringabel. Tiz and Agnes are there too I guess

This is a combined effort by Nintendo and Square Enix to push the Ringabel and Edea agenda.

and I appreciate it

This is funny cause I never actually played Bravely, all I know is like 3 things, one sounding horrifying and 2 being plot twists, one of which is related to that Alternis Dim dude, who all I know about is said twist and the unparalleled amount of aura, holy ****. Might just play it on 3ds depending on how things are though

Maybe. Depends on the internet reaction more than anything. It at least seems more interesting to me than something like Ready Player One.

I saw Pixels in theaters for the heck of it and the gamble on the first Sonic film ended up paying off.

I hope we see more of DKB at tomorrow's treehouse that wins me over to the game's side more. Some of the creative decisions they're rolling with just... don't sit well with me so far.

Like yeah, you can do a lot with the random rock chunks you can pick up but why are you doing stuff with them? Also the fact that it looks like a lot of puzzles and challenges can be bypassed just by smashing the wall around it I'm like... why? That feels like broken design. When there are too many ways to solve a problem things end up just becoming kind of boring because people will just find the fastest/easiest way to do it and do it over and over again. Plus the idea of collectibles hidden in really obscure places that aren't even signposted because you can smash through stuff fills me with dread.

I just need to know what the general gameplay loop is. What are the collectables and what do you use them for? We see the fossils, we see the Banandium, we see the Crystal Bananas, but what do they do.

Also I hope some of the lairs have more interesting themes. The fact that everything is underground is gonna be really really weird. Now that I think about it I kinda miss the idea of smaller "worlds" connected by hubs. Like Grunty's Lair and Peach's Castle had so many interesting places that didn't need to fit together geographically because you were like... teleporting to them from magic portals/doors. I kinda feel like the fact that they don't need to do this anymore means they just don't wanna anymore and I think that looses something of the fun. IDK. Just my thoughts.

I've read enough about Pixels to know I'm not interested in seeing the film, but I do really need to catch up with the Sonic movies. Most of them are free to watch now IIRC so I should be able to watch at least the first two anytime. I'm not sure if 3's free to watch yet or not, haven't checked for it on any of the streaming services I or my family have recently.

I'm also curious about Ready Player One, but admittedly that's mostly due to the large number of IPs and characters in it that I'm familiar with lol.

Guardians 3 and D&W were the last MCU films I had interest in. Far as I'm concerned their stories are over.

More excited for Invincible S4, Beyond the Spider-Verse and The Batman 2.
k
It's so funny watching Mario Kart World reactions and seeing everyone pop off for the Moo Moo Meadows cow

Understandable though because it's peak
Moo Moo is eternally peak
Hop on the Absolute Comics



These are all peak, so are absolute Green Lantern, Flash and Martian Manhunter.
still gotta read the Martian Manhunter one, but the Absolute universe is absolutely amazing
All I know of these runs is Batman ****ing punting a child into the stratosphere. That alone proves it's peak
his logo is a hatchet and his ears can be used to stab people

I'm not too worried about the Underground part, Galaxy managed to do a lot with "Space" and Sunshine with "Beach Vacation". I think the main thing I'd worry about is if the collectables are closer to Oydessy, where there's SO many that a lot of them are sorta whatever or hit this one thing. Hard to say if it's like that again, or closer to Mario 64/Sunshine etc. And since it's just DK seemingly, I don't see needing to do some **** 5 times over.

The lack of loose theming, we'll have to see about, obviously. But then again, I like Prime 1 A LOT and it had VERY traditional themes to its levels. We know there's a beach area and an ice level. DKC 1 was pretty down to earth. But DKC 2 was more fantastical. Then everything after that felt like a mix of that, IMO.

I imagine that the "puzzles" ARE figuring out ways to bypass with his skill set. But I get why that might be a concern. Maybe certain areas will be harder to break through? But like I said, it could be a problem if it homogenizes

my office, probably
Now that we have Bananza footage on our hand, I would like to say Donkey Kong needs a new figure based on his new design.

Especially since the current 6" figure by Jakks Pacific is uh... kinda awkward looking and probably has outdated articulation if the Bowser figure is anything to go by
