As a Gen Z I just want to clarify that most people did not expect the movie to be good. The memes are not Minecraft memes; they were lines from the trailers that were so bad that people memed them on TikTok until they became now-celebrated lines. It was going to print money regardless; it's the most influential Zoomer video game besides FNAF. It's great that instead of being disappointed with the bad-looking trailers, Zoomers turned it into a fun experience through the memes. I'm not even that into minecraft and I went purely for the theater experience. It was also great to see younger kids genuinely enthused about a movie; the consensus was that it was a great movie, and if it wasn't great, it was a great community experience. The Letterboxd rating spread cracks me up. That being said, I felt a little bad for the parents/people who didn't expect the theater to be like that, but I hope that they at least had a memorable time. I also expect studios to take the wrong message from this extremely successful opening weekend with all their future video game movie releases.
Enjoyed your write up; it was very entertaining. Also really enjoyed the last paragraph!
Wait, wuh? There's other generations with different tastes? As a millennial I take umbrage with this view. Like the Boomers, it will be all about us, FOREVER.

I think you could elaborate a LOT on the thesis in your last paragraph. That would be very interesting.
Although this take is also correct.
Stop worrying challenge abounds
