There’s a way cooler mob team-up than the chicken jockey inA Minecraft Movie, but it unfortunately has not gone viral.A Minecraft Moviequickly introduces audiences to the Overworld, a dimension that is made up of blocks and is filled with many strange creatures. Out of all these creatures, thechicken jockey inA Minecraft Moviecompletely steals the show. Seeing a baby zombie ride a chicken has led to outrageous reactions from audiences in theaters, which have created several viral clips. However, aside from the chicken jockey, there are many other notablemobs inA Minecraft Movie.
Reviews forA Minecraft Moviehave been mixed, with Screen Rant’s own Mae Abdulbaki giving it a score of 4 out of 10. However, it is hard to deny that the film, which has been in development since 2014, includes many fun moments. These moments have led to many viral clips, which have helpedA Minecraft Moviebecome a box office success. As of this writing, the film has made $726 million at the box office (viaBox Office Mojo). However, given how popular the film is,not enough people are talking about the spider jockey inA Minecraft Movie.
A Minecraft Movie Includes A Spider Jockey Long Before The Chicken Jockey Scene
Garrett Is Chased By A Spider Jockey In A Minecraft Movie
Garrett fighting the chicken jockey is undoubtedly themost viral scene inA Minecraft Movie. Jason Momoa gets to prove how good he is at physical comedy while fighting the chicken jockey in the Woodland Mansion. However, before this happens, he encounters a spider jockey. When it first turns to night inA Minecraft Movie,Garrett, Henry, Natalie, and Dawn prepare to fight the creatures that are going to hunt them. However, since they have not yet met Steve, they are not at all prepared.
Therefore, when several skeletons start to attack them, all the characters immediately freak out and run away. Henry, Natalie, and Dawn stay together, but Garrett runs in a different direction, separating himself from the group. Unlucky for Garrett, the spider jockey chooses to follow him. The spider jockey, which is a skeleton riding on a spider, is definitely one of the creepiest mobs inA Minecraft Movie. Additionally,the spider jockey is way more dangerous than the chicken jockey is in the film.
A Minecraft Movie’s Spider Jockey Is Great Because Of Their Game Rarity
Spider Jockeys Are More Rare Than Chicken Jockeys In Minecraft
In addition to being both scarier and more powerful, the spider jockey is also more rare than the chicken jockey inMinecraft. In the video game,there’s only a 1% chance that a spider will spawn with a skeleton jockey on its back. In comparison, there is a 5% chance of a chicken jockey spawning inMinecraft. Therefore, even though Garrett’s encounter with a spider jockey is not a standout moment inA Minecraft Movie, like his fight with the chicken jockey is, it is actually much more unique.
The spider jockey inA Minecraft Moviealso has an enchanted bow, which makes it an even more deadly enemy.
Because of this statistic,the spider jockey scene is actually one of the most overlooked moments inA Minecraft Movie. While regular skeletons are also dangerous, seeing this spider jockey makesnighttime inA Minecraft Movieso much scarier. Additionally, the spider jockey inA Minecraft Moviealso has an enchanted bow, which makes it an even more deadly enemy. Because of its rarity, it is amazing that a spider jockey is included so early inA Minecraft Movie. Thankfully, Garrett gets away from the spider jockey and he and the rest of the characters survive the night.
Why A Minecraft Movie’s Spider Jockey Isn’t As Popular As Chicken Jockey
A Minecraft Movie’s Spider Jockey Scene Hasn’t Gone Viral
Even though the spider jockey is one of the creepiest mobs inA Minecraft Movie, and is part of a thrilling chase scene early in the film, it has not resonated as much with audiences. This is a shame, since a spider jockey is actually way more rare than a chicken jockey. However, it is understandable, sincethe chicken jockey fight inA Minecraft Movieis a lot funnier. The spider jockey chase scene plays more like a horror movie, whereas the chicken jockey scene is designed to make audiences laugh out loud.
The chicken jockey scene is also much more popular because of Jack Black’s inclusion.By the time Garrett encounters the chicken jockey, he and the other characters have become acquainted with Steve, who is hilariously portrayed by Black. Many scenes fromA Minecraft Moviehave gone viral, and most of them feature Steve. Steve introducing himself, him singing “Steve’s Lava Chicken Song,” and, of course, him introducing the chicken jockey are three of the most viral scenes inA Minecraft Movie.
The scenes that have gone the most viral fromA Minecraft Movieprove how much audiences love Black. If Black’s Steve is involved in a scene, it will most likely be hilarious. Therefore, even though the spider jockey chase scene is great, the fact that it does not include Steve is likely one of the main reasons why it has not gone as viral as the chicken jockey fight.Audiences love quoting Steve’s lines inA Minecraft Movie, but that is unfortunately not possible during the spider jockey chase scene.
Future Minecraft Movies Can Make Spider Jockey A Bigger Deal
A Spider Jockey Could Appear In A Minecraft Movie 2
Since the spider jockey scene doesn’t include a memorable quote, it is not as popular as the chicken jockey fight and other moments fromA Minecraft Movie. This is a shame, since it is actually quite rare to see a spider jockey in the video game. However,futureMinecraftmovies could redeem this moment and include another spider jockey. Even though asequel toA Minecraft Moviehas not been officially announced, it will likely happen. Given how successfulA Minecraft Moviehas been, I would be shocked if a sequel does not get greenlit soon.
More than likely, several moreMinecraftmovies will be made in the coming years. Therefore,perhaps Garrett and other characters could encounter a spider jockey again in a futureMinecraftmovie. If this does happen, it would be amazing if Steve is part of the scene so that Black can deliver a hilarious and memorable line. Seeing a spider jockey inA Minecraft Moviewas amazing, but I am hoping that it is not the last time we will see one in the budding franchise.
