I’m surprised it took that long.

      Just told my kid about it, and his face broke into a huge grin. I guess that’s the target audience.

      Though, Netflix has generally been pretty good with their animated shows, so won’t mind taking a look at what they do with Minecraft myself.

      Minecraft is the most popular video game to ever exist in human history and someone thinks that is an easy market to capitalize on.

    Oh man I hope they do it as a gritty live action grim dark retcon origin story that entirely explains Herobrine’s past starring Jared Leto as Herobrine and shows his face and eye color. /s

        No idea. Never played it, no idea when it came out, never cared for it. I don’t think it was necessarily a straight cut from one to the other but a gradual transition through various changes with the game and the company. I’d hazard a guess that this transition began before Story Mode though, even if it wasn’t as apparent at the time, as it is today.

    They REALLY missed the boat on this one. Maybe if it was 8 years ago. Nobody’s gonna care now. Minecraft is old and leans too hard on bedrock, nevermind that it was PC early adopters that made it what it is. This is the problem with success; it makes good indie stuff with potential into sold-out corporate trash. Happens all the time and Minecraft is no different. Eventually it’ll get sold off to some holding company in Romania or something and be deleted from the Internet.
