The upcoming animated series of Minecraft may be in Netflix in its wrong hands

Minecraft has come a long way from its early days of gravel and crawling bangs. With more than 15 years of existence and a global active society, the privilege turns more than just a sand game. Now, Netflix takes a step forward by developing the Minecraft series.

However, there is one problem: you may not go in the right direction. This is the reason for the next Minecraft The chain may not turn as fans expect – many of them are related to the animated studio behind it.

The Netflix series may not be good

In an official blog post, Netflix revealed that the animation of the next series is being processed by Wildbrain, the same studio responsible for programs like Sonic Primefor Ninjago: Drags ascendingAnd Carmen Sandeo.

Although the series has found a place among the younger viewers, they did not do much to attract the masses of the elderly or even young people. The animation style often tends towards bright visual images, simplified character designs, and fast -line stories that do not leave a great room for depth.

This is the place where anxiety lies. Minecraft is no longer just a game for children anymore. The fans’ base originated. Many players have long been in the twenties and thirties, and while younger fans continue to join, the main audience is not as tight as before.

It was recently released and Successful A Minecraft movie It is already targeting a smaller population with a simple and enjoyable story. If the animation chain does the same thing, it is a lost opportunity to tell stories that can hesitate with a wider audience and prove that some attractive conspiracies can be born from the wet world.

Minecraft world has a lot of potential for stories if it approaches the right intention. Although there is no compact story in the same game, the players have created their myths and theories over the years-from the secret of Herroenin to the secrets The final dimension.

The animation series has a real opportunity to produce creative weapons and turn them into a meaningful thing. But this requires a tone that is not limited to cartoon feelings on Saturday morning.

The end, for example, is one of the most mysterious areas in the wet world. It is vast and sometimes even evil. A story focused on a journey to the end can build real tension, present new traditions on Endermen, and explore what is behind the gate.

Personalities can be developed using actual arches, and strange mechanics in the world can become narrative elements. But this type of approach requires animation and writing to slow and let the atmosphere breathe – priority has not been given to previous Wildbrain projects.

Even a more accumulated story of life in a village or exploration can deepen more than just a child’s friendly work and sleeve. Players who spent hundreds of hours in construction will expect to stay, or move in this matter, from a series of more than just a great plot.

Minecraft deserves something closer to it Avatar: Another Airbnder In tone-balanced with adventure, emotion and global construction-from just another adventure centered around the child.

Wildbrain has the technical ability to make an offer, undoubtedly. But so far, their creative direction has not shown much depth. If Netflix and Mojang want Minecraft Series to stand out, they will need pressure to tell stories that challenge the usual formula. Otherwise, it risk becoming just another official cross that fades in the background.

There is still time to get it correctly. Minecraft is a unique world. It does not contain strict law, which means that the book and animation are free to build something original. Whether it explores the builders of the ancients, discover the origin of mobs, or the creation of a completely new world, the wet that has no limits give them all the freedom they need.
