Gotta disagree with most of you here, this looks incredible to me. Really unique and it's also adapting the Demon Bear arc in a way that looks super interesting to me. Wasn't excited for this at all until the trailer but now I'm rly interested.

Not really? New Mutants had a lot of horror vibes back in the day. A film of them in that genre makes a lot of sense. 

[moah]

Looks like a cross between Flatliners and A Cure for Wellness visually.

Under a 100? It looks like the budget is under 45 million.

Slowing down Pink Floyd was a weird choice for the pop song cover. 

I knew it would be between ABitW, Teenage Wasteland (Baba O'Reilly) and Season of the Witch. These on the nose song choices are getting easy to predict and they seem to work every time

.....At least Fox can make some money off it I guess. The budget has to be under 100M

Looks under 50M tbh

I don’t think we can use the word “unique”.

 

I hope that “freddy coming through the wall” scene is an homage.

I don't like horror movies, I'll pass :/

 

But at least we know  @Mockingjay Raphael will love this ^^

For the superhero genre it's pretty unique.

[Arlborn]

Interesting teaser but I'm hoping they're overplaying the "horror" elements here cause I'm just not much of a horror fan. I'm hoping all that weirdness has a more complex root like it's part of one of the kids power that is out of control, perhaps even a bit like Legion.

 

 

On a side note I see people being cynical about the musical choice and I guess it could have been better but it just seems like nitpicking to me.

No. New Mutants was always a Stephen King inspired title that depicted the trauma of teenhood/childhood with horror tropes. It's basically Loser's Club with mutants.

 

Dark Phoenix incidentally was also heavily inspired by King's Carrie.

Is it a spoiler to discuss the Demon Bear arc that the movie is based off of btw?

Well it's been discussed for a bit earlier in this thread I believe so I don't think so? Put it under spoil-tag though just to be safe.

For a horror movie it looks pretty run off the mill. If they took off the Marvel logo would the talk of this being anything superhero related be there.

It's not just a horror movie though it's also a superhero movie lmao. You guys kill me sometimes with these manufactured scenarios.

Not much a fan of horror movies myself and I still think/hope they're overplaying its horror elements for the teaser but I completely agree with your point here. At least FOX seems to continually try to push CBMs into new territories lately and that's interesting.
