I think the reason this βstylizationβ of Minecraft bugs me is because itβs inconsistent. Yes everything is block shaped, but those blocks vary in size all over the place. It doesnβt make sense. Why is so much of the terrain made up of different sized blocks?
And Iβve seen some people say βwell thatβs just to make it clear itβs a blocky world. It would look weird if the blocks were all the same sizeβ and I just gotta askβ¦
Have you PLAYED Minecraft?
The landscapes in Minecraft, especially with shaders, are sometimes absolutely BREATHTAKING. And thatβs achieved without having to treat people like theyβre stupid and make enormous block rocks to drive the point home the world is made of blocks.
Part of the BEAUTY of Minecraft is the fact that the terrain IS just made of the same sized blocks. I mean, look at these pictures! Why canβt our Minecraft movie look like this?!?
Instead we have inconsistent blocks making up a terrain that doesnβt exist in the game with a village that includes a windmill (which again is not something in the game). Even on trees the blocky shapes of the leaves vary wildly and they have branches that do not exist in Minecraft.
Itβs like they saw Minecraft, saw that it was pixelated and blocky, and then just made concept art based on that rather than try to work within the parameters of what makes Minecraftβ¦ Minecraft!
