A Zelda movie is finally happening, but Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto used to adamantly oppose the idea even "if Steven Spielberg himself" wanted to do it (www.gamesradar.com)

Anything with Jack Black in it is corporate slop and I respect our kids enough to not want to expose their developing brains to that kind of garbage.

The movie was okayish at best, but at least Jack Black was the best part of it.

Also, anything with Jack Black is slop? Even School of Rock? Tenacious D? Weird: The Al Yankovic Story?

After making Jumanji, yes his work has become absolutely shallow and artistically void of anything to say but give me money.

School of rock is a classic but he fucking killed Tenatious D after not liking a joke about a killing a dictator. Yes he’s become corporate slop.

Tenacious D is not dead. Jack Black has confirmed that they will be back someday, they're just taking a break.

It's one thing to make those kinds of jokes here on Lemmy where the audience is almost all leftists who will cheer. But for a celebrity with a platform, you have to be aware that saying things like that will get them in trouble. It was honestly a shitty no-win situation all around and I don't blame Jack Black for needing to distance himself for a bit. At least the band is not dead, this will blow over in due time and they'll come back when it's died down.
