"Whose idea was this?" - Kai Cenat goes off at A Minecraft Movie and calls it the "craziest money grab"

Twitch star Kai Cenat has voiced some rather strong opinions on the recently released teaser for A Minecraft Movie. Cenat was four hours into his livestream on September 5, 2024, when he reacted to the teaser of the survival game's live-action film. Expressing his discontent, the two-time Streamer of the Year award winner wondered why there was a need to make a movie about Minecraft.

He said:

"We've got to stop letting the movie industry do this s**t, bro. This is so f**king a**, bro! Bro, I'm not going to lie - why didn't you just let this legendary game just do what it does? Why the f**k do we need a Minecraft Movie, my n***a?! Whose idea was this?"

While commenting on Jack Black's decision to "co-sign" A Minecraft Movie, Kai Cenat described the film as the "craziest money grab":

"And Jack, why did you co-sign this motherf**ker? This is the craziest money grab! (The Twitch streamer replays the part where Jack Black introduces himself as 'Steve' in the movie) Bro, like, what?!"

The New Yorker added:

"This is so bad, my n***a. He was better off making an animated movie, my n***a. They were better off making an animated movie. Or just throwing up... gameplay. They were better off just throwing some gameplay, bro... as a movie, bro. No cap."
