Many people are worried about the new <em>Minecraft </em>movie following the tepid reception of the trailer, and the recent <em>Borderlands </em>crash forecasts poor outcomes for similar video game movie adaptations. However, not all box office flops really deserve the amount of hate they get. I personally loved Pixar's <em>Onward</em>, for example, even though it lost millions of dollars in revenue. The story was good, but I mostly loved it because of how normal and realistic the relationships of the characters were. The two brothers squabbling but loving one another, the mom's coolness, and the normalcy of a "Mom's Boyfriend" character all made this a highly relatable film. Without spoiling anything, the ending made me cry harder than I ever expected due to a clever twist. I don't think it deserves to be considered a "flop," though I know it technically counts as one.
