Film Theory: This Minecraft Movie Scene Got it WRONG!

Should Steve in the new Minecraft Movie ACTUALLY be dead? We take a closer look at a scene from one of the trailers to see if it's truly possible for them to survive the fall using the classic water bucket trick or if the movie made a fatal error.

This theory felt like it was made up on the spot and rushed because the movie just came out

[thedoglovinggamer]

When I saw the thumbnail I thought that this theory was going to be about the zombies actually being Steve's previous lives.

[ShlokParab]

This theory could've been an email.

[dalekguy]

WOAH if you fall into a small puddle of water in real life you die? That's crazy I had no idea!

[bulbasaurpiplup]

Ok now we’re verging on clickbaity titles, I think most people know that the water bucket logic actually doesn’t apply to real life and it really feels like this is just posted to get more views. And this is such a short theory too so there’s really not that much substance in it anyways. This clearly should’ve been a YouTube short and had no need being a 6 minute video

[akumuryuu]

I feel like that was supposed to come out on April's Fool, but got delayed. Since this is a joke of a theory

[grievouskeepintime]

Film Theory: "They're real people.. it means they should've hit the ground too hard."

Minecraft water: "No, it doesn't."

[RUPPEEY]

A little pet peeve I have is when people type out I am Steve they do “I am… Steve” even though in the trailer he CLEARLY says “I.. am *steve* “

[dragonmaster]

As long as you land in 1 block of water no actually you can survive if you land in one pixel of water 1:15

[daudagha]

"Oh yeah that redstone stuff is a bunch of mumbo jumbo"
"take that with a Grian of salt"
"yeah thats my cat stampy, he does have a long nose"

[Alfadhel.e]

Haha happy april fools you can show me the real theory now Edit: I've been a fan for about 6 years across all 4 channels and this is the 2nd worst theory😢. 1st is "sans is ness"

[ozerune]

Congratulations! You missed the point of the scene!

The point being that its unrealistic but because they're in Minecraft they can do that.

[domingololol]

There's no substance to this. It's not the actual movie. Based on the title, it's like what, they were supposed to die from this? The movie made sure to be realistic to the game, and in the game, that fall would be more that safe. It's pretty clear that wouldn't be a safe landing irl. Good april fools theory, where's the real theory.

[Blurple]

Here's 4 better theories instead of no one survives because it's real life:
Title: "We SOLVED Minecraft Physics!"

1. How strong does the water tension need to be to save Steve?
2. Finding villager's mass and weight from the car accident.
3. What gravity/air density is needed to make elytra fly?
4. How 20-minute day-night cycle affect the world (and Steve's mind)?

That's just a theory. A FILM THEORY

[ThatguyAlex]

Maybe I know more than your average viewers but I thought everybody knew that water doesn't cushion a fall that much irl. I'm sure everybody here has belly flopped at least once

[TheZnarfquad]

I'm usually on board with most wacky theories, but I'm not gonna lie this one's pretty pointless. Everyone already knows that the water bucket trick is not realistic. That's why the scene is in the movie. Who is this theory for?

[blue_lynch]

it would be a much more interesting video if it was calculating if steve could actually place the water from that high

[QuweeAnimatez]

I remember watching the ‚Disney is dying' or something like that video and you guys said that they should not turn a 1h 30mins movie into a 4h show… this is the exact thing. This honestly should have been a short

[jjninja]

I wish the video explored what would it take for the water bucket trick to work. I know they should die even without basic physics knowledge. I played this video on 2x speed and there wasn't a moment where I was like "wait that's interesting let me take that in."

[OlyasSister]

I hate to say this but I'm afraid this video falls under the same trap MatPat said he was against in a previous Film Theory; shorter, quicker made videos with less quality. It's kinda sad honestly.
