Fans poke fun at the first look of an Enderman in the live-action ‘Minecraft’ adaptation: "Who greenlit this movie?"

The first glimpse of an Enderman in the live-action Minecraft film has finally been shown, and let's just say it's already giving gamers (read: everyone) nightmares. Tall, creepy, and likely seconds from grabbing someone's blocks, this Enderman appears as if it just stepped out of the game and into our nightmares.

With the Minecraft film in the works to be an adventure unlike any other, the one question remaining is: will gazing into Enderman's eyes still be a bad life decision, or is Hollywood finally offering us our chance to survive?

As soon as the news came out, someone took to his X account and commented:

"Who green lit this movie?"

Enderman from the Minecraft movie already has fans asking the questions, including who really approved of this movie. With its spindly, menacing presence and unsettling gaze, it looks more like an escaped horror movie and less like a video game adaptation.

If this is just the beginning of the reveal, then people might have to start prepping in their heads for what a live-action Creeper will be like—because at this rate, it's going to continue haunting the dreamscape for years.

The second the live-action Minecraft 'Enderman' was unveiled, the internet did what it does best—turn it into pure comedy madness. X fans didn't waste any time roasting its spooky appearance, asking how Hollywood made such a choice and wondering if they'd have to wear a pumpkin helmet just to see the film.

Buckle up, because these fan responses are about to be funnier than unintentionally looking an Enderman in the eye!

Netizens react to the first look of an Enderman in the live-action ‘Minecraft’ adaptation

Some individuals took the Enderman reveal and turned it into a full roast session, likening it to everything from sleep paralysis demons to haunted Halloween decorations. Others simply rolled their eyes and knew that this movie would be as close as they'd ever come to having a Minecraft horror game in real life:

"That's a guy with a box," @blockxs joked.

"That's a dude with a cardboard box on his head and you can't convince me otherwise," @imgoingtoduck hilariously commented.

"He looks high," @TumeloTiger1 sarcastically expressed.

It is not surprising that some left comments for the sake of it, offering wild speculations, random humor, or simply saying the obvious—because why not? By this time, responding to internet anarchy was just about a sport, and the Minecraft film simply provided everyone with a fresh playground:

"WHY DID THEY GIVE IT A MOUTH," @PI66I3 commented.

"Oh my god They gave him a neck XD," @BrandonF10328 hilariously commented.

"This gunna give me nightmares," @Know_Your_Smoke sarcastically wrote.

Others actually complimented the Enderman design as accurate and unexpectedly creepy for all the right reasons. While others were busy bashing, these fans were just happy to see Minecraft in the flesh—albeit they may regret it by the time they see a live-action Creeper hiding in the darkness:

"FINALLY, AFTER A QUARTER OF A HEAT BEGGING TO SEE ONE, I LOVE IT....," @ElifOOO___ commented.

"Oh, I'm so ready for this movie," @JamesMulamb wrote.

Ultimately, the Minecraft film's live-action Enderman has succeeded in its mission—creeping out humans and causing online anarchy. Some fans were lauding its accuracy, others wondered who approved this, and a few are here solely for the memes. One thing is certain—if the Enderman is 'this' creepy, the 'Minecraft' film could end up being half adventure, half horror, and 100% nightmare fuel.
