This was a pretty simple and unexciting trailer. It's a testament to the hype IW generated that it did so well. Everyone's chomping at the bit to see how it all ends.
That's insane. It took a while for the IW trailer to get to those numbers and people were ready & waiting for it...they stealth dropped this trailer with no warning and it managed 289m so fast...this movie is gonna do insane numbers.
It's proof that "stakes" aren't everything. Everyone who complains about these movies not having stakes is completely missing the point.
We might lose an Avenger or two but the audience knows everyone that got dusted will be back and they don't care. They're in it for the ride. It's whats actually important.

What's the point? Avatar 2 first trailer will get a lot of views for sure.
It's the most restrained trailer for a movie that costs hundreds of millions of dollars I can imagine. No action, very few visual effects, no hint of setpieces or the climax. And it's not even a teaser, it's a 2 minute trailer.
Damn that's a lot and I remember someone worrying about it because the YouTube views weren't crazy high at first. Still surprising because it's not like they announced the trailer before with a teaser or announcement.
I definitely liked how little they showed. Pretty big contrast to the first Ultron trailer, which showed quite a lot of the movie.

Comic book superhero deaths are rarely about just being shocked and sad that they killed off someone popular and loved by readers. It's about the trauma experienced by those who had to witness the death. It's about the void they leave in the world/superhero community and what other heroes decide to do to fill it.
At the end of Infinity War, the Avengers are forced to play out a completely unwinnable situation knowing full well that they will lose - and still give everything they have. It's the absolute height of heroic spectacle in the MCU. And when they do lose they're forced to witness their friends and allies expire in tragic terror and confusion.
It's clear to anyone familiar with the medium, as soon as T'Challa disappears, what was going on there. Yeah - these characters aren't dead for good and they're definitely coming back. And yet it keeps going and we keep having to keep watching heroes turn to dust. But it's not about them, it's about the heroes left standing and what they just had to witness. How they'll process it, what they'll do next. Steve's response to Natasha at the end of the trailer is just as impactful to me as the big CG-heavy moneyshot at the end of the Captain Marvel trailer.
It's an excellent premise for a movie and this trailer doing what it does makes it clear that people want a movie like this - regardless of the obvious outcome.
Trailer was pretty great, unlike the Captain Marvel one.
This one had zero action and still managed to be good.

They went with emotion and pathos over spectacle and I greatly respect them for that.
Also +1 for showing so little. Trailers often show a bit too much, but of course they're in a position where they don't have to sell people on their movie; they already know their audience is going to flock to it regardless.
Remember someone saying how it didn't have enough views after 1 hour and maybe stealth release wasn't a good idea... . HA
In case anybody is still wondering why every other studio in Hollywood is trying to copy Marvel Studios, this is why. The fervor is real.
Love the internet marketing wizards that thought Marvel was releasing too many trailers in too short a period, didn't release it at the right time, with enough hype, that the trailer was "trash," etc. Because Marvel Studios and Disney haven't proved time and time again that they know what they're doing.
You're right on. I mean, anyone with a brain has given up on those stupid "stakes" arguments. No one cares. People want to see the characters and heroes they love face adversity and WIN. That's what they want. They don't want to see them all die and stay gone. There is this certain subgroup of a subgroup that is insistent that things MUST have this weight ... and no one else, including the people that have built this franchise into a once-in-history phenomenon, think the same thing.

I'm assuming there's gonna be a 2nd trailer with Captain Marvel that'll be punchier, show some of the action beats, heroes in costume and set pieces. I'll be covering my eyes, I don't want to see a single additional second of footage from this movie.
It's crazy that the first super hero movie trailer ever to not have any hero in costume at all is also breaking records.
Probably, but since everybody counts those when they wanna boast about numbers, it doesn't really matter.
Sooner or later Marvel is gonna do a movie that doesn't any choreographed action sequences in it. Just character drama stuff. It'll be amazing.
Why is it crazy? Marvel has been building up these characters to the point where they almost seem like real human beings instead of plot devices to be used to solve x problem. It's nice when they emphasize character drama instead of following the same old hero story.
Well that's what I mean. Even 5 years ago, and especially 10...people wouldn't come close to buying a trailer like this for a huge mega blockbuster saga ending movie. Yet it was just a few small sets basically and somber talking outside paul rudd. To me that honestly makes this one of my favorite trailers ever just for that. They didn't even hint an action scene.
