You know, Phase 4 seems to be limping along. Whilst I will definitely say the MCU is struggling to meet the very high bar they themselves have set, the MCU's mediocrity is starting to show BUT the MCU's low, is still higher than most of the other comic book attempts at quality, it is wild. And whilst I'll take this opportunity not to bash the MCU, because we did have a whole pandemic between the ending of Phase 3 and throughout the entirety of Phase 4, I will not pretend that decisions were made that have intrinsically changed the MCU for somewhat, the worst, at the moment. I do feel that at the very least, this trailer for this movie should explain the new charcters a little more rather than leaving it to the film. We need to understand, why we should care for them and why we should watch the movie or better yet, be drawn to the TV shows that birthed them.
This trailer seems like it is an expansion of the teaser trailer. It is giving us a little more of what the film might actually be about, but it does not seem to let us know who the villain is and why they are doing what they are doing, other than the fact she calls Captain Marvel 'The Annihilator' and how she wants to "return the favour". More entanglement with the three main characters swapping places like a comic book version of Freaky Friday with three characters from the MCU. I think the main gripe I have with this trailer, is introducing characters and not explaining who they are to the non-MCU followers. With the MCU limping and not a feeling of any build up, why should we care to watch this movie? The trailer needs to do better. The Beastie Boys track is great and compliments the movie, it would seeme. Let's just hope the trailer is much better.
