Tbf, you shouldn't be that disrespectful to writers that make a bad movie/show. Unless there's something morally wrong about it, direct your blame to the company or brand at most. Just don't go watch their stuff in the future. Never hate watch unless you're pirating. Hate watching earned us a second season of that Velma show afterall.
- What the everloving fuck do you mean it got a second season
  
  Look it up. They only saw watch numbers, and so many hate watched season 1 that they made season 2.
- You’re talking about two different things. In general, you should never be disrespectful of anyone because there’s no need to be mean. However, I can definitely criticize a writer for working on something terrible because they wrote it. I can also criticize a studio for releasing it. “Just following orders” doesn’t remove culpability especially when the writing is really fucking bad.
  Please note I’m not talking about this movie because it hasn’t been released yet. I’ve watched a plethora of movies over the last month that had really bad writing.
  
  "Just following orders" absolutely does excuse bad writing as long as it's not harmful. I wouldn't get mad at a writer of a thing a studio ruined just like I wouldn't get mad at a grocery store worker for rearranging the shelves for the fifth week in a row. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean doing a stupid and pointless job makes them a bad person. If the writing is racist or whatever, sure, they're complicit, but writers have to eat and it's not morally wrong to write a boring script if that's what your boss is asking you for.
  
  Everyone involved in the skibidi toilet movie is morally and artistically bankrupt. I will not apologize and I humbly request that every one of them ritualistically throws themself into a volcano to earn forgiveness.
- tbf, we don't know much about the movie yet. Sure the CGI creatures are godawful but maybe the writing will be decent?... well probably not
  the only hope i have is that Minecraft is big enough of a name that they'd allow the creators to take financial risks, such as: being creative
  
  I mentally prepared myself to watch the trailer, but honestly, it looks very safe, as they certainly know the association is enough to bring profit. Much like the Mario movie IMO, there's only so much storytelling you can get from conglomerate media.
  First couple scenes I really had the impression that the backdrop was AI'd, but overall it looks like the budget went to everything other than costumes and sets. JB most certainly picked a blue T shirt out of the wardrobe and called it good.. if they don't even show armor I'll be thoroughly disapointed, its about the minimum costume design
- Didnt we get season 2 because the studio actually ordeed 1 season but then split it up into 2 seasons to get it through cheaper?
  
  It might not have gotten finished if it didn't have such high viewership. Most shows of that quality get ignored and forgotten, but by being hated, it overperformed
- Good enough to care and play through it

Was story mode actually decent for what it was?
- It certainly wasn't great, but it was campy and enjoyable, and I feel like they did what they could given the source material.
  
  The whole premise is stupid, but if you take that into account, it can at least not be that soulless Hollywood garbage.

I had fun playing it as a kid, no apology will be issued!
- stop you're making us feel old
