[QUOTE="Homicidal_Squirrel, post: 8999750, member: 6750031"] Why? There isn't much difference between the trailers. It seems odd to go from, "Meh... looks boring and not funny," to "Actually, I want to go see it," from watching two not so different trailers. The issue that you have, and probably the reason you get some strong reactions from some of the others responding to your posts, is that it [I]appears[/I] as if you're trying hard, maybe too hard, to justify why The Marvels is a boring movie and the hate it has gotten is due to the trailer making the movie appear boring and/or not funny rather than the politicization of Disney, Brie Larson, and movies with female leads. Plus, the level of ignorance or unawareness (that word doesn't sound right to me) you claim about the reasons people hate the movie (politics, anti-feminism, masogy, etc.) seems purposeful rather than realistic. It's definitely possible that you are unaware of the things happening in society and the politicization of almost everything and the culture nuclear war that is happening, but it might been fake to others. Again, I'm not saying you're being fake, but it can appear to others that you are being fake. You could ignore social media and the major news outlets that have made watching the news an exercise in masochism (wish I could figure out how to do so myself), but you're obviously using the internet, and at least interacting with others on this site. While Enworld has a policy against posts with certain topics, there are some posts throughout the site which are banned-topic-adjacent, or at least skirt the edges of such topics, some of which you have participated in. So it might seem to others that you are aware of the current culture clashes happening but purposefully ignore them to make or support a particular point of view. Basically, it appears you are trying too hard to justify why The Marvels trailer is the most hated trailer to date. When someone tries too hard to justify such reaction, or really anything, it comes off as disingenuous. I'm not saying you're being disingenuous, just that it [I]appears[/I] you're being disingenuous. I still think the trailer looks great. The movie seems interesting. It has several humorous moments. It has action. It has every element that made the Guardians trailers 1 & 2 work. It gives enough information as to what is happening that viewers can follow along. Does it give away the entire plot of the movie and spoon feed you all the information about all the characters and why things are happening? No, and it's not supposed to. It's a teaser trailer.
