Beyond excited for this. What We Do In The Shadows and Hunt for the Wilderpeople are two of my favorite movies of all time. Likewise, Boy is wonderful, and Thor: Ragnarok is one of my top MCU movies. He's my favorite current director at the moment.
"Teezer Traylor" sounds exactly like what someone from Essex (in the UK) would say, ha ha!
It is an interesting premise, that's for sure — already waiting for the day that this comes out.

I happen to have a "close friend" wink wink who has seen this at a test screening back in april and thought it was just fantastic and his favorite movie of the year so far and he can't wait to see it again
The US is dealing with a white supremacist administration that is caging kids and that is trying its hardest to normalize white nationalists so you can understand that a movie trailer that looks to be normalizing Nazis is gonna get a cold reaction from a lot of us. Why would he pick this of all things? To be edgy? We have enough of that.
Just looked it up. Hitler is the boy's imaginary friend and it's clear that it'll be about him learning that racism isn't right or something.
Does seem like bad timing, though.
how can you misinterpret nazis being depicted as morons as normalizing them
I'm gunna guess that's on purpose because that's the first thing that hit me and I was cracking up because of it.
That's how I interepreted it. Why even go to that subject for the story?
so we're not allowed to make fun of nazis anymore? not depict them in our media at all?
You really need to look in to the kind of satire/comedy that was being produced between 1930 and 1950.
The movie is very clear about its message which is "Nazis And Nationalism Are Really Fucking Bad Yall" and imo thats even clearly present in this little teaser imo. There is not a better time for this movie to be coming out.
There's a great scene towards the end that will make a realllllly good gif to use in this times
I absolutely don't doubt that the message will be obvious and that the film and Watiti mean well but I don't think its obvious from the trailer. Personally making Hitler killing all the jews jokes in your trailer is not for me at the moment.
This movie is clearly making Nazis to be villains and all around idiots. How is this normalizing Nazis!? In no way will this movie say Nazis are okay.
