Yes. Also all movies trailers these days are spoiler fests.
To add games to the list I think xenoblade 1 (or one of the remakes) had a trailer that spoiled a ton of twists like a twist villain, a twist party member, setting, etc
This. And often you get a sequence of epic scenes. You think wow, this will be awesome. And then its ... long stretches of bordom between these exact scenes :|
When 99% of the movie is in the trailer and the rest is just watching paint dry inbetween those scenes.
I am still mad to this day about thr Hulk reveal in the Thor Ragnarok trailer.
If I still cared as much about the MCU as I used to, I'd be upset about the Red Hulk reveal too.
Life lesson - if you don't give a shit, you can't be disappointed!
Knives Out trailers were a complete misdirection!
The original cover with the car was a lot better in that regard. The German cover on the other hand was so much worse.
who knows what might slither in
I never thought it'd be a basilisk. But that's because the basilisks they have video games tend to have legs and that's all the info I had at the time. Still a reptile, just not a snake.
basilisks they have in video games
I’m not sure if you’re one of todays lucky 10000 but if you didn’t know that basilisks are real already, go look for videos of basilisk lizards running. They live in South America and very cool.
Both are named for a mythological creature that bears very little resemblance to the real animal
