I was perhaps a bit uncharitable when the first Minecraft movie teaser dropped in 2024, and by "uncharitable" I mean that I may have sent off several emails to the Hague to complain about the commission of crimes against humanity. A bit extreme, perhaps, but I'm hardly the only one who was appalled by what they beheld: On YouTube, the teaser is currently rocking 737,000 likes, and 1.8 million dislikes. That's a yikes, as the kids most certainly no longer say.
No matter how plainly bad that teaser is (and look, I know it's for kids but it is bad and I will not be stepping down from this hill), the strength of the negativity caught one notable person off-guard: A Minecraft Movie star Jack Black.
