Speculation/Spoilers Based on Trailer

[kaijinscendre]

I did not like this trailer at all. The music didn’t seem to fit the action on screen. The pacing was weird and disjointed. The humor felt forced and out of place. Lex Luthor is just...odd.

And why did they reveal so much? Everyone knows the movie will end with them working together, but did you have to show Doomsday? We didn’t have to see who they were fighting. And why show Wonder Woman’s entrance? That would have been great to see in the movie.

This trailer left me not wanting to see the movie. I loved the other trailer and teasers (DC might want to stick to the grim/dark aspect that they excel at) . Also, I think coming off the excellent Civil War trailer probably did not help.

Trailers always reveal too much in the US. It's kind of an annoying trend that's been around for a while now.

Not all of them. Star Wars trailers have not revealed much. And Marvel does a good job of keepingsecrets (even most of the stuff in Winter Soldier trailers was misdirection). But none of the Winter Soldier revealed that Pierce was going to be the ultimate big bad or show Falcon's big tada reveal.

To be fair, Disney owns both Star Wars and Marvel and they're both heavily fannish properties -- Disney knows what they're doing. But the majority of trailers for the majority of movies are spoiler-heavy in the US. It's a known phenomenon.

The problem is that in Hollywood it is assumed, and it's a pretty fair assumption, that the average movie-goer in the US is a blithering idiot who will not go see a movie unless you tell him (and it's always him, women in the audience are ignored unless it's a "chick flick") exactly how many explosions, sex scenes, and alien wingwongs there will be.

It's really hard to tell who's to blame for this stereotype: Hollywood for perpetuating it, or the public for living up to it?

I mean, WB isn't exactly a spring chicken. And it isn't like they need much between Batman vs Superman.

Re: Speculation/Spoilers Based on Trailer

[dethtoll]

Yeah, but WB doesn't know what they're doing, as opposed to Disney. ;p

The Force Awakens has been carried on "We're doing the opposite of the prequels" which will carry it for this movie, but will not work for its own sequels. It gets one movie out of that goodwill. Marvel has been taking heat for tricking its audience and playing bait and switch with the trailers lately. I think its days of getting by on saying "superhero movie, lots of splosions and punches" are coming to an end too. With the way the price of theater tickets have been going lately, the studios have realized that the audience cannot afford to take a chance on some arthouse wannabe trying to trick and cocktease them.

Blame the Godzilla 2014 for it. It made the movie look like a maximum monster throwdown starring the guy from Breaking Bad. People were very upset, and vocally so, when they discovered otherwise. The bad word of mouth killed the repeat custom from the second week. The movie industry has learned that only the hardcore nerd base hates spoilers, the rest of the world prefers the T2 style of trailer where there are no surprises whatsoever.

Can you image how many people would be slamming BvS if they discovered on viewing night that it is Batman and Superman bitch for a little bit then team up with Xena to fight a CGI monster? The outrage from the non-nerd part of the audience would be so audible that it would carry to the ISS through the vacuum of space. No way they are going to do that. Plus it lets us whiny nerds get our outrage out of the system before the opening weekend so nobody will listen to us then.
