I really hope they don't resort to this tired cliché


Is the main boy going to get bullied? Don't you just love it when they use a cliché that's been done to death, for over 40 years!? I mean, I feel for anyone who's been bullied, but this cliché doesn't need to be in every goddamn movie that has a kid or a teen.

The only time I feel the whole "bullied kid/teen" thing actually worked and didn't come off as clichéd, was in The Karate Kid and it's many sequels. Everywhere else it's just tired and run of the mill. Honestly, it's the most stereotypical writing you could put in any family/kids movie.

The absolute worst example would be in the first Jumanji where not only is nothing done to take care of the bullying problem, but you could easily remove it from the movie and it would change nothing.

They're already basing the film around the "getting sucked through a portal" cliche...like, why? why should there even be human characters in Minecraft?

I'm just hoping they don't resort to clichés at the beginning, before going through the portal, like the stupid aforementioned bullying crap!

Well considering you bullied an innocent person on the Harold and the Purple Crayon board, I think it's ironic you now suddenly voice your opinions against it.

Please, I don't want any goddamn drama, okay! I wasn't bullying anyone, okay! So just drop it!

In fact, you were. I caught you red handed. Most bullies wouldn't consider themselves bullies. Word gets around quickly on these boards. I've heard other people on other boards discuss your behavior. You should consider fixing it or else you'll get banned quickly.

Ignore the user below me spreading drama and making up false shit about me! So sick of 90% the users on here being toxic assholes who just want to spread drama, instead of having a normal ass civil conversation! I think they get a rise out of that shit!

There's a fucking reason why IMDb shut down their message boards, years ago!

I tried having a civil conversation with you and you called me “pathetic”. 🙄 The only one starting drama here is you. If you don’t like it, leave.
