In this adaptation, Jack Black takes on the role of Steve, a character whose connection to the mysterious blue cube has sparked fervent speculation regarding the film’s storyline.
Mystery blue cubes
Among the fans, a Reddit user known as tokaygecko23 claims to have cracked the code behind the symbols inscribed on the blue cubes. By correlating the symbols with letters from the English alphabet, the user discovered that they were inscribed using the standard galactic alphabet. Initially, the letters did not yield any coherent words, but further investigation by fellow Redditors led to an intriguing revelation. When arranged in a spiral format, the letters coalesce into a message: “Iron, Gold, Stone, Gate, Head, Home.”
This cryptic message has prompted speculation among the gaming community, with fans theorizing that it serves as a set of instructions for Jack Black’s character. They surmise that he will need to construct a “gate” utilizing the materials “iron,” “gold,” and “stone,” which will ultimately facilitate his return to the real world.
