I wish I saw more art that's reminiscent of what was in the book. The awe inspiring vistas of abandoned war machines being dismantled in a field, bleak urban decay, the shambling hordes of those ensnared by the Neurocasters... it's a shame that the famous thing about this book now is that it's the source material for a movie that is the exact opposite in tone...
TL;DR: I was being a dick on twitter, the allegations on both the BBU devs and Blackgryph0n were false, and I sincerely apologize for my actions and I will better myself as a person here on out. (please read. or don't, i can't tell you what to do.)
HI! :D if you don't know, some false rumors were spread on twitter about the Billie Bust Up devs and the VA for Barnaby recently. Now, beforehand, I did not know this. This drama lead me into a sour streak where I would admittedly harass people and just say nasty things about the wonderful people behind this game. :(
I will say this now; WHAT I DID WAS WRONG. Instead of being patient, waiting for both sides to come out to listen to both sides, or even asking for updates on the drama, I lashed out on others, said nasty things, and this lead me in a wrong path of taking a break/cooling down before properly apologizing. I should have apologized first before taking the break, honestly. I DO NOT CONDONE MY ACTIONS, PLEASE DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE WHO ARE IN A CONTROVERSY/DRAMA AND WAIT TO HEAR BOTH SIDES BEFORE FORMING YOUR OPINION.
To the lovely devs at Billie Bust Up;
I apologize for calling you guys all those awful things and harassing your fans. I was heated in the moment of the drama which was on my part. I won't blame my mental health or mental illness for my behavior, since this was a failure to have critical, logical thinking on my part. I understand if you guys won't forgive me, and that is okay. I understand that feeling. I wish the best for you, and when your game comes out for Xbox, I will purchase a copy of the game to support your guys wonderful and creative endeavors of diversity. /gen /srs
To BlackGryph0n himself;
I apologize for not hearing your side of the story when it came out. I had only heard of your side a few days ago (I wanna say 2 or 3 days) and I feel really bad for harassing your fans as well. I had believed the false rumors, and I am the one at fault. I had lacked patience or critical thinking at the time and I was in the wrong for doing that. I hope the best for your career, your mental health, and you and your wife.
To the people I had harassed and to the rest of the Billie Bust Up Comunity;
I sincerely apologize for what I had said. It was a dick move of me to say the things I had said, since it was impulsive and rude of me to do so. This controversy, and my reaction to it, had left a stain on the community, and I wish to clean up that stain. I will take time to learn to grow and improve so that this community may be a more welcoming place, to fans new and old, and to the wonderful people behind the game.

Me realizing holy shit they would make a sequel shittier than the last wouldn't they?
Another thing that bugs me about the Minecraft Movie is that it has basically signaled to Warner Bros, one of the WORST movie companies out there, that incompetent slop is acceptable.
People don’t want good movies. They just want bland, boring, uninspired movies with bad special effects and memes they can point to.
Competent writing? Not needed.
Competent filmmaking? Not needed.
Good special effects? Not needed.
Character growth and arcs? Not needed.
Original music? Not needed.
And now this has set the bar for all future Minecraft movies to come next. If there’s a sequel, it will be just as dumb and stupid as the first one was. The possibility of a new director or setting being tried out? Non existent.
Why aim for attempting to make a great film when barely “passable” earns you a BILLION DOLLARS?
Warner Bros was already firing directors, shutting down original films as tax write offs, selling off their animated movies, tearing down historic Loony Tunes animation buildings, and attempting to get scripts made through generated ai bullshit.
And the Minecraft Movie has just proven to them that their anti-creative approach WORKS.
You Dinotopia bitches need to get better at recruitment because why did literally no one tell me Dinotopia was this cool?
"It's a book about human society where dinosaurs never went extinct!"
Oh cool! The art looks interesting maybe I'll buy it if I see it in a thrift store!
VS
"It's a book about an isolated society where humans and dinosaurs live as equals, the dinosaurs having a level of sentience similar to humans. It has a surprising amount of parallels to httyd, among others."
*FROTHING AT THE MOUTH*
The only stuff that made it from the book into the movie are some of the aesthetics, Michelle's name, and her motivation to find her brother.
List of stuff down below of what the book had that the movie didn't have. Spoilers for people who haven't read the book. (Read the book it's great)
There is no AI.
All the robots are controlled by humans.
The USA had a civil war that was fought by drone pilots who wore older versions of Neurocasters which required them to use addictive drugs that also destroyed their ability to reproduce.
People who wear the Neurocasters too long meld into a digital hivemind.
Neurocasters keeps the mind alive as long as it is worn. It does not protect the body from harm.
Graphic description of someone's brain getting chunkified by an anti-matter round.
Michelle's bio parents didn't die in a car crash. Instead her father is unmentioned (if I recall correctly) and her mom was a veteran who died from a drug overdose after being abandoned by the government. (foster parents "died" due to the Neurocasters)
Michelle dyed her blonde hair black because she wanted to distance herself from the "popular" girls and to spite her foster mom (who Michelle beat over the head with a lunch tray after she mocked her for wanting to dye her hair). Kind of important to her character. They keep her blonde in the movie for some fucking reason.
Michelle had a girlfriend who broke up with her after a crazy priest converted her. Heartbreaking to read.
Michelle found her brother's body rotting away in a house while wearing a Neurocaster. Still alive and in control of Cosmo.
It is implied that she and him rowed out into the ocean in a kayak to be swallowed by the waves.
Cultist working for the hivemind hunting for her brother as well, possibly what Giancarlo Esposito's character was based on though I doubt it.
