Nobody over 40 gives a shit about Transformers (especially true for the later installments). Gladiator seems to have the youth (internet views) and the older demographic on its side. Transformers is a movie franchise on life support, Gladiator is a sequel to a classic. Doesn't necessarily mean it'll live up to some of the lofty expectations but one can poke many holes in your argument.

Weeeeell, everything? I'm not a fan of rap in general and popular music of all kinds in trailers usually don't work for me. I want "epic film" music in my trailers, especially for these kind of movies. When it comes to this, i'm a conservative, i guess. I get it, these trailers are not made necessarily for me but for the average Joe...

Somebody said we just wanted to hear the iconic theme, that's what people associate Gladiator with, i think that's also part of it. I'm not arguing against your point, the anti-woke movement has become so ridiculous, nothing would suprise me.

There's absolutely now way that there was more buzz for Napoleon. This just shows that trailer views are useless, then.

I think it's simply because there are many more eyes on Gladiator than there were on Napoleon.

Amazing visuals, not so great trailer (again, that music *ugh*).

Yeah, Cavill looked much better in the suit, that's for sure. Cannot comment how it'll look in the finished film, just based on BTS photos.

It had some horror elements, i guess... ...like Willem Dafoe masturbating.

I jumped off the Eggers hype train. I really liked The Witch but found his next two movies pretty tedius to be honest. Hopefully his return to horror will be my return of liking one of his movies...

i don't get you, guys, that's exactly how anime looks (from Japan).... *shrugs*

As if reshoots isn't the most normal thing in Hollywood...

Doesn't all anime look like that? The art style is part of anime. It probably wasn't expensive to make, so doesn't need to make a lot of money, anyway.

A lot more goes into the decision of when to release a trailer than quality of the movie. Yes, stupid discussion.
