I'm reminded of Davros in classic Doctor Who. Eventually he'd come back from so many certain-death scenarios that they just stopped even bothering to explain it.

"Somehow, Han has returned."

they also need to explain his family name!

helps if you have the actual trailer in your post...

I didn't think anyone could take that much awesome at one time.

Why is Vin Diesel Hawkeye?

A better question would be this- when I make the following statement: "Vin Diesel is swinging a sports car around by a rope off of a cliff on a rope to get a plane, which is carrying his brother John Cena in his mustang, that is attached to the plane by a giant magnet."

...the first question most people ask is, "Wait, Dom has a brother?"

Because that's the weird part.

Having not watched the movies since the first one, I don't know? Also, is it weird that I don't think it's weird in the first movie they're stealing a load of TVs with built in VHS players and they describe them high-tech?

I still want to know why he's Hawkeye at the beginning of the trailer though. What's with action heroes "retiring" to a farm? Can they not retire to a life luxury in Luxembourgian opulence?

Also, why is weird he has a brother? I admit the rope swing looked really cool.

So going back to the brother ... we have now had 8 prior movies with Vin Diesel (aka Dom). Remember that the primary theme of these movies is ... CORONA BEER. No, wait ... FAMILY.

These movies are all about FAMILY.

So now, NINE MOVIES IN, not only is Han brought back to life, but we learn, for the first time, that Dom "Family, Groot, and Corona" Toretto has a brother?


This makes taking down a nuclear sub with some cars seem like child's play!

Yeah, but (having admittedly seen only a smattering of the movies - I want to say 5 and 8...?) that sentiment is more about the family you build together than the one you're born with.
