Despite the upcoming premiere of Season 2 not being entirely unexpected, given that the first season of “The Last of Us” was one of HBO’s most successful series ever and the show was intended to adapt the events from both the PlayStation games.

There’s a sense of burnout when it comes to superhero movies, as suggested by numerous discussions online. Although Marvel has slipped slightly from their peak during the “Infinity Saga,” and DC, let’s be honest, has had its ups and downs for about two decades now, there have still been some fantastic to excellent comic book adaptations over the past ten years.

During some crowded showings of Minecraft, young audiences are following a popular TikTok trend where they enthusiastically participate in the movie by shouting specific lines (such as Jack Black exclaiming “I… am Steve!”) and applauding fervently at various moments.

Today at a Brooklyn multiplex, during our Minecraft screening, Jack Black exclaimed “Chicken jockey!” and many people in the audience repeated it along with him, followed by loud cheers and yells. It felt as if the actual Jack Black had entered the room! The crowd was thrilled; the rest of us were left puzzled.
