WW84: Three or so years later…

That movie was utterly forgettable. Why bring it up? Because I was reminded of the trailer for the movie, went and watched it again, and checked out the comments. Grok.

Me after the trailer: “Life is good.” Me after the movie: “…that could’ve been better.”

 

Say what you will about the movie, but we can all admit this trailer is a masterpiece.
Whoever edited this trailer deserves a raise. I don’t know how you made that disaster look so badass here.
You can say anything about how bad this movie is, but this trailer is a piece of art. Perfect music, perfect editing, its sells the movie like no other trailer in recent memory. Two years later I still come back to it and have goosebumbs all over by body.
It’s like watching your wedding video after filing for a divorce.

 

Near the end, when the beat perfectly matched the Phalanx systems firing? Followed by Wonder Woman swinging through the sky by lassoing *lightning?* Utterly silly… and entirely awesome and badass. And then… the movie came out and it was forget-a-mess.

    I’m still gobsmacked that they went and had the plot point that Steve Rogers was actually possessing another man’s body; it makes the whole ‘and then they snogged!’ thing just absolutely uncomfortable. Did nobody ever raise the point that this was effectively r*pe?

    I mean, why do it that way? You’re already dealing with a magic wish stone, just have him zorp fully physical back into existence.

    I have a *fantastically* good, clear and 100% effective way to explain that plot point: the writers stink.

    Agreed. I would much rather watch a 100-minute loop of that trailer than watch the actual movie again. It’s really remarkable how much better it is than its source material.
