You mean Junkyard Planet and Asgard, the two most prominent locations in the movie?

This is what the entirety of the film's third act looked like

That shot wasn't even used in the final film, LMAO.

Hulk was busy fighting the giant wolf and was not in the team up shot shown above.

* Specifically searches Google for close-up images of characters talking in an alleyway to make my point *

This is one of the more disingenuous posts I've seen in a while.

You could try countering his argument with actual stills y'know, instead of lazily going "DISINGENUOUS BAD FAAAAITH"

Still not feeling this one, neither trailer has really been all that impressive. That said I'm not the biggest fan of the comic character in general, but I expected the advertisements to wow, and they just don't have the same "pop" I usually expect.

I'll certainly be there opening weekend to see it because I enjoy these movies but I'm more interested in how the next Avengers will come together with her than this solo film. Something about it just looks off and I'm not really sure what, it has that Green Lantern and vibe to it or something. And Brie Larson as an amazing actress but I'm starting to wonder if maybe she's not the best fit for this role, every line she's had has been really awkward or bad in delivery.

I can't really blame it on the writings either, the lines are genericish but fine, just something about her delivery seems off. I guess we'll see in the final product.

I feel the same way point for point with your post. I'm trying to think back and figure out if any other marvel movie had 2 underwhelming trailers and still ended up amazing. Best I can think of is maybe Iron Man 1. Does anyone know?

I'm also trying to figure out what these trailers are doing so wrong and what the Wonder Woman trailers did so right to be more appealing and exciting.

If an argument is disingenuous, I'm not going to go back and forth with someone. He knows it is dishonest to make a statement like "the supposedly colorful Thor: Ragnarok."

You're only making it seem like he's right when you hide behind ERA buzzwords like "disingenuous", "bad faith" and "dishonest". No point in discussing anything with anyone if you're just going to handwave an opinion you don't like as any of the above buzzwords.

Folks, I hope you realize you're ripping each other apart over the color pallette of a different movie than the one featured in this trailer.

I thought the first teaser was great but Larson comes across as too serious and seems a little wooden outside of the "I'm going to end it!" line in this trailer. Reminded me of Ronda Rousey's acting a bit, although that's probably a little too harsh

We'll see how the final product is.

That's way, way too harsh. Larson is an award-nominated actress.

Yeah, I rewatched it again a couple times after I posted that and it seems to be the editing of the trailer that gave me that impression.

I guess this trailer doesn't completely sell me on the character yet. I don't like the character as much as I thought I would before I saw the trailer.

It's admittedly kinda off that we have a trailer for a Marvel movie and it's not even trying to be funny or charming. I guess we can't rely on Carol to quip her way through the movie.

Why is there GOAT Ragnarok slander in this thread?

PlanetSmasher said:
Pretty much all the hooks for it are already in the trailers...it'd be pretty shocking if it didn't play out in a similar manner to this.

You want to hear my idea for how they could really fuck with everyone? The Carol we see on the Kree homeworld and the one we see on Earth are two entirely different characters. The Carol on Earth is a Skrull sleeper agent using her form as part of a deep cover infiltration and she's the one who takes out Fury's eye.[/QUOSTE]
Skrull Carol would be the swerve this film needs.

Looks like the generic movie where you have a supersaiyan destroying alien ships in space and flying in cool poses.

If the film actually had those color values in the film and these weren't promo shots to be used in print and media, you'd have a point. Maybe you have the contrast on your TV set really high? :P I'd trust the grabs from Blu-Ray.com over these.



All good my dude, tis the internet.

My thought is the timeline is something like this:

- Carol has her plane crash, is kidnapped by the Kree and brainwashed/converted
- Jude Law trains her to be a Kree warrior
- Kree/Skrull war breaks out, Carol is dispatched to Earth, which is being used as a staging ground for one of the Skrull leaders
- While hunting Skrulls, Carol encounters Fury and they team up
- Ben Mendelsohn's character gets defeated, Carol finds out she's being deceived by the Kree
- At some point in the story, Fury gets betrayed by a Skrull sleeper agent and loses his eye
- Carol goes back to the Kree homeworld to find out the truth, finds out Jude Law is the one responsible for her memory wipe and forced conversion
- Dramatic third act fight
- Post-credits stinger of Carol calling Earth after receiving Fury's SOS, Coulson answers.

That's so accurate that you should put a spoiler tag on it ! ;)

Ugh a Marvel movie that looks like a Marvel movie. :(

Why can't it be totally new, yet familiar, yet not derivative in the slightest, yet well integrated in the established MCU, yet entirely fresh, yet faithful to its source material, yet fun and creative in a way that defies formula and convention, yet cohesive within the larger context of the Thanos plotline, yet untethered by predictable Marvel tropes, yet a worthy introduction to a character who will be integral to Infinity War 2 and the next phase of Marvel films, yet not reminiscent of Marvel at all...

Sorry but I come to ERA to engage with people, not my style to use the Ignore or handwave opinions away with buzzwords when I don't agree with something. Anyway we're dangerously OT now, so to get back on track I'll just say hendersonhank post proves there's plenty of color to be found in Ragnarok.

Ragnarok has a really colourful art design but honestly I think the colour grading in the actual movie is a little darker and less vibrant than people may remember.

Thor is full of color, it's not GotG levels of color, but it's pretty vivid from what I remember. Why is this argument even happening?

EDIT: It appears that all the hand picked screenshots seem to only be parts of the films that happen to be drab while avoiding any scene with color or pop.

Looks good I guess, though I'm not a fan of the mohawk.

Let's get this out of the way so we can move on to Kamala :V

This is the first time an MCU trailer has unsold me on a movie.

After seeing the lengths the MCU has gone to embrace the ridiculous visuals of the comics I just hate seeing the Skrulls look like the generic alien race from [insert Sci-Fi show here] in the season where the budget got slashed in half.

I gotta say, I never understood people's critic about Marvel movies colors.
I think it helps make them look more.. grounded and real ?

DC movies, on the other hand, are absolutely horrible to watch in terms of colors. Everything has way too much contrast, especially Wonder Woman. What an ugly movie it was.

I liked WW, but I would agree about all of the other DC films.
