I think the more pertinent question is “why does this trailer give me Ghostbusters Afterlife trailer vibes?” 😂 Yeah, that wasn’t a good teaser. If all this turns out to be is nostalgia bait, I fear they’ve missed that train by a few years. Edited March 21 by SnokesLegs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I defended the practice more than most. Arguably for years after everybody else vilified it...this is my limit. Harry Belafonte didn't die for this. I hated the Choir version of the Banana Boat song.

I would normally be inclined to agree, but Jenna Ortega is pretty popular with Gen Z, so that might help. But yeah, I’m sick of nostalgia baiting too. I would’ve hoped that the failure of Flash and Indiana Jones last year was going to be a wake up call to Hollywood, but it looks like we’re not quite done just yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Ghostbusters and Godzilla X Kong there is really no better 2 week stretch until May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dune would've been preferable. Can't imagine three weeks made that much of a difference as far as this teaser was concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Train Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 What movie a trailer is attached to doesn't mean shit. Shazam 2 trailer played in front of Avatar 2. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that Gran Turismo trailer in front of what felt like every movie from Spider-verse, Evil Dead Rise and Oppenheimer and that movie came and went like a fart in the wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipDerby Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 The trailer is fine. Though it's funny they went the often joked upon "lets slow down a song and have a childrens choir sing it". Honestly should've just released a full trailer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 It gave me nostalgia. Glad they used the song. I think here in the UK it’ll be huge with my generation at least. I do wonder if parents are too precious/weak/boring these days to let their kids see it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them are named "teaser" in name but are longer and show more of the plot than this did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said they should’ve released a full trailer. That would be pretty unheard of for a big film like this just going with a full one first 6 months out with no teaser. Maybe you meant “longer teaser”. I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much all their recent major movies had the first trailer (see their 2023 releases and Dune and Furiosa) around 6 months before release and no teasers beforehand. The only exception was Barbie.
