Hardcore fans prepared for an epic blunder following a lackluster teaser trailer of A Minecraft Movie that featured awful live-action images, clumsy speech, and weird sheep. But suddenly, the table rolled over its head.
Not only did the Minecraft movie launch with a bang, it exploded. This isn't only the largest film of 2025 yet, with an opening weekend take predicted to fly beyond $135 million and with predictions stretching into the $145M–$155M range. It is rapping on history's door. However, besides all the excitement, the heartwarming tribute to Technoblade took the center stage. But there is a question looming over everyone’s head.
Why was the Technoblade pig different than the other pigs in A Minecraft Movie
Among all the memes, there is a heartfelt homage to Technoblade, who died in 2022, one year after being diagnosed with cancer. A pig with a golden crown, similar to his famous skin in Minecraft, appears in the film at one point.
Henry, the main character played by Sebastian Hansen, sees a pig with a golden crown at Midport Village, a significant location halfway through the film. "Is that some kind of king?" he wonders, turning to face Steve (played by Jack Black). Steve replies with a sigh of dignity: “No. That’s a legend.” This was not an ordinary Easter Egg. This was actually a fitting tribute to one of the most loved Minecraft YouTubers of all time.
Now in this scene, many fans found out a strange fact. Unlike all the other pigs in the game, the Technoblade pig looked a bit different. So, what’s the distinctive part? Actually, the Technoblade pig was cross-eyed which made him look different than the rest. And this comes from a thoughtful decision of the makers of the film as if you have noticed closely, you will see the image on Technoblade’s channel also featured a cross-eyed pig . So, this heart-warming gesture was witty and thoughtful as well.
This Minecraft legend not only amassed over 10 million subscribers, but also earned a huge name in the competitive Minecraft scene. Filled with big Hollywood names, this pig with the golden crown proves Technoblade wasn’t just a content creator, he was a part of Minecraft itself.
Technoblade never dies!
