Alright, James. You've appealed to my emotional vulnerability.
I'm opening the door a CRACK
Fuck it IS the yamcha pose
anyway this trailer is weird
the vibes are all over the place
I would like to meet this robot Superman is mourning
the vibes are all over the place but that is also what's compelling me to think "okay maybe James Gunn can do a Superman that is good"
the shot with the guys throwing cans at superman looks like it's from a completely different movie
superman is even in a different version of the costume
Having that shot right next to Nathan Fillion in the Green Lantern outfit is some whiplash
My stance on this movie is that every time a comics superhero who isn't superman shows up I'm deducting four points from the movie's score
I don't care about green lantern and hawkgirl and fuckin whoever else they cram into this
I am begging movies to stop being cinematic universes
remember how in Thor 1, the entire glimpse of a wider world was someone seeing a space robot and going "Is this one of Stark's projects"
like three movies into the MCU
a superhero movie does not need to have eleven famous comic book characters in every scene for the audience to point at and clap
just make it about fucking superman
There is a marketing cynicism to it
I made a Plurk about it yesterday but I was bombarded with video adds yesterday telling me that the teaser trailer was coming out today
So it doesn’t really surprise me that this ad is not just an ad for Superman but for other potential future films
Gotta get the most out of the millions of dollars of marketing
with further reflection I'm turning against this movie after all
superheroes are still bad
Eh I still love me some Superman, when he’s done well. Hopefully this is just a bad trailer. If not, well I still have more MAWS to look forward to
