    Second, let’s discuss the trailer as marketing.

    It’s clearly effective but I dislike trailers like this with major spoilers. Most often you see trailers like this a few weeks after a film has been released.

    For example the Endgame trailer, a few weeks after release, shows Cap with Mjolnir, which is a major moment in the film.

    Similarly in Deadpool v Wolverine,

    Tap for spoiler

    The later trailers spoil Captain America aka Chris Evans as actually being Johnny Storm with the “Flame On” gag.

    Obviously I’m someone who watches stuff immediately, and I know people who don’t care about spoilers, but I just never got it.

      I didn’t watch Deadpool/wolverine until last week, and that particular moment was not spoiled for me… Just gotta ignore all marketing for months to achieve that haha

        I’m glad. I saw it on the TV while at a bar after a friend pointed it out. It’s actually the only place I see proper commercials (and makes me wonder if I’ll see the Agatha trailer on TV at some point this week).
