theCapraAegagrus Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) 5 minutes ago, fantastic_four said: Is the Captain Marvel clip a teaser or a trailer? Marvel explicitly described it as the "official trailer," but people here in the thread cutting it slack are doing it citing it as a teaser. As far as I can tell it isn't a teaser, it's the trailer. I haven't paid much attention to how Marvel releases these until just this moment. Do they skip using the term "teaser" these days? Do they always release more than one thing they refer to as a trailer? It's Official Trailer #1. Trailer #1, for whatever reason, is always called a "Teaser Trailer". To me, that doesn't make sense. IMO a "Teaser Trailer" is what Marvel put out during the Super Bowl for Avengers: Infinity War (30 seconds). Edit: By definition, a "teaser trailer" is close to a minute, and has very few visuals with vague dialogue. This does a lot more than that. It doesn't explain much, but Marvel's 1st trailers never explain much. Edited September 19, 2018 by TwoPiece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm used to teasers being about 30 seconds like you say, but that Man of Steel example is a minute and a half, so the definition of a "teaser" seems extremely fluid.

Almost every comic book film/TV trailer released at comic conventions is a "teaser". Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Black Panther, Infinity War, etc. They were all visually limited, with vague dialogue exposition. The first Age of Ultron trailer is considered a "teaser", despite being longer than 2 minutes. This Captain Marvel trailer is filled with visuals and a lot of in-scene dialogue. Definitely an Official Trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't they need to spend the whole movie beating Thanos, and then maybe have the Skrulls reveal themselves at the end to set up Avengers 5 or something? OK, Avengers 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Thanos was a skrull for years due to his race and skrulls both having those lines in their chins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drotto Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Trailer was just ok. I am inclined to see the movie regardless, so this trailer has very little bearing on me. I do not think it has much impact however. I did not like Bree Larson's voice in the trailer. Really lacked any sense of authority, and she seemed very flat to me.

Just look up the reactions here on the boards upon first viewing of this. This was one of the greatest teasers of all time. I am a dyed-in-the-wool "Make Mine Marvel" guy and this gives me chills up and down my spine. In context, it's even more powerful because I have to imagine Superman fans were ready for a reboot after watching that awful movie where Superman has to watch Lois' happily married life from outside her window like a creepy stalker, then gets his @$$ handed to him by Lex Luthor in one of the most degrading, gratuitous, and pointless humiliation scenes any superhero has ever been made to suffer.

jsilverjanet Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Looks very bland. I still don’t get the love for Larson. I’m happy for the movie, I plan to make money off of it but this was lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
