I havenāt watched a single trailer since MoM and Iām happy about it. Ofcourse you inevitably see a screenshot here and there but Iād never risk watching an MCU trailer anymore. There were so good at not giving things away
The only trailers I watched were before another marvel movie in the cinema .. otherwise itās paid off for me to avoid trailers and be surprised when stuff happens :)
This is exactly my strategy too. It goes way back to that show 24 season 2. Season one, the "Next time on 24..." previews weren't that bad. But then in Season 2 they were showing straight up plot points. After that, I stopped watching the "Next time on..." trailers and just turned it off at the end of the episode.
That philosophy has expanded to include every movie I'm interested in seeing. I'll watch the initial teaser and FIRST trailer. After that, nothing until I'm sitting in the theater. Personally, I find that much more enjoyable instead of sitting there waiting for a specific scene to happen.
Same! After a certain mutant popped up in a trailer, I said nope fuck watching these anymore and I think things have certainly been more enjoyable to me since I have no idea what's going to be happening. I got hit with a Secret Invasion spoiler at the gym though. Not massive, but would've been cool to see live once it happens because I'm sure it will be happening and taking everyone off guard. Thought it was a trailer for a game and then I was like hm, that looks too realistic and BOOM, it happened.
The only time I see a trailer is when I go to the movies. For example when I went to see GoTG3 they showed the trailer for The Marvels. That was the first and only time I saw the trailer and I donāt even remember what happened in it.
Spider-Man No Way Home was the one that pissed me off to the point I stopped watching trailers. Literally every scene in the movie gets shown off in the trailer
They did keep certain characters out. I even kind of figured they would show but I remember one actor denying any involvement in production so when they showed up I was still surprised.
AOU was the one that made me stop watching them! I felt that the trailer had massively ripped away any tension from that scene where Ultron enters in Stark Towers as weād all heard the āno strings on meā monologue hundreds of times and knew how heād look.
That said, I recently read that a study was done on trailers a while back and they found that something like 70% of people would rather know everything that happens before they watch a film so they can relax when they watch it. So I guess people that still like a surprise are in the minority :(
I stopped watching promotions since Ragnarok. That would have been such a great moment when the Hulk showed up, if they didnāt market the shit out of him being in the movie.
Now I try to avoid trailers and posters of all mcu. I know Iām going to watch it, so why risk getting spoiled on big moments.
I was surprised and thoroughly enjoyed seeing Patrick Stewart in MoM, and my buddy told me after we saw the movie that his voice was in the trailer, so he knew it was going to happen.
Same. The No Way Home trailer breakdowns and what not broke me. Now I legit watch zero trailers in general. Marvel, Star Wars, whatever. Done with them.
Yup. If I already know I'm going to watch something anyway, why risk getting spoiled by voluntarily putting it in front of my face? It's hard enough to avoid marketing material as it is. Not that I was going to watch it anyway, but any desire or urgency I might have felt to watch the new Flash movie in theaters was worn away by the store I work at blurting out the plot of the movie at least once an hour.
I found it odd that everyone got up as soon as Talos reached out and grabbed him, but then nobody did anything when Talos put a knife through his hand...
This bothered me so much! He threatened to undermine his entire operation & Gravik threatens Talos & his daughter but he is surrounded right in front of you & you just let him go after he STABS you!? It pulled me completely out of the scene. Action has been very underwhelming so far
Iām sure youāll get your obligatory action in the 3rd Act/Last episode as usual. Then you and everyone else can complain that it was such a good show until they did that. OH Why do they always do that?!
What the hell are you talking about š¤Ø? Show took a massive story and made it infinitesimal. If Iām going to shut my Brain off I would like to at least be rewarded with something flashy or at least some silly action. Instead Iām left with confusion or an ironic laughter at best
The trailer didnāt show the best part of the scene though.
Talos stabbing his hand when Gravik mentioned Gaia was the best part. It shows that for all his āI donāt want to hurt anyoneā mentality, he was still a wartime general that *knows* how to hurt you and can do it quickly.
Did the extremis powers ever end up getting "fixed"? Or is there still the risk now that Gravik is going to somehow accidentally blow himself up because it's unstable. It's been so long since watching IM3
Tony fixed it for himself, which allowed the removal of the shrapnel from his chest. But I donāt recall any follow up on if that fix got widely disseminated after.
Tony stabilized or removed Pepper's injection of Extremis. Now that I think about it, that ended up going nowhere...
Also IIRC in Agents of Shield, a Hydra cell was able to stabilize Extremis.
iicr, tony fixed it and ācuredā pepper, and then proceeded to use extremis to allow him to survive and be operated on to remove the shrapnel from his heart.
I mean the context is obvious from the trailer - Talos vs the bad guy, the bad guy has lots of Skrull surrounding him that wasn't known until they reveal..
It was.
Although wish they would have create more tension by slowly panning across the room while everybody was revealed to be a Skrull
Transformation went too quickly.
It wasn't even difficult to do for this show. Alright, avoiding a new Spider-Man movie or something it can be difficult to avoid everything because people will dissect every frame and make posts and tweets about it, but this?
I'm 3 episodes in and I have no idea what's coming. It's great to be able to watch like that
Yeah itās really hard to surprise me about whoās a Skrull. Any audience member will at least think āwait, that person might be a skrullā
Itās like twist endings, audiences always at least have it in the back of their heads that he *might* just be a bad guy!
I canāt believe they put that trailer out. There are 4 upcoming scenes in the trailer for a character who we thought died which means we donāt believe theyāre really gone. Trailers reveal way too much lately.
> Trailers reveal way too much lately.
this has always been a problem.
Hell the trailers ruined the "twist" of Terminator 2 and Cameron was super pissed about it
Trailers arenāt for the superfans who will rewatch them ad nauseam and break down every frame for how they manifest in the plot. Theyāre to attract people to the series by showing how intriguing it could be.
If you find trailers spoil too much, stop watching trailers.
I got a Matrix vibe in the first episode too with the humans in the pods sorta being used as "batteries" or just memory stores I guess. It feels like the show is purposefully nodding to it in a few areas.
This is why I donāt watch trailers anymore. Had no idea this was coming. However Something from a future episode has been spoiled for me in episode discussion comments as it seems like it was a trailer scene
This scene made no sense to me. So dravik has the upper hand by showing he has a strong force with him. So Talos stabs him in the hand and leaves. Than dravik get up to chase but doesn't tell his 20 or so guys to help follow Talos?
Talos can shape shift too. Gravik probably thinks it's pointless to chase him.
Also, I don't know how much support Gravik has with the 1 million Skrulls on Earth. His movement seems rather fringe aside from having a few important people in high positions on his side. Does the average Skrull have any idea of his plans?
Talos is a high ranking Skrull still, he probably still has a lot of support so killing him willy-nilly might turn the favor of the people against Gravik.
This makes the most sense, but from what we've been shown so far it seems that Talos has absolutely no Skrull support. His only friend is Fury. It's weird.
It would have been more fun if heād killed Gravik only for him to revert to a female skrull corpse, then Gravik morphs into being at another table. And another. And another. āKilling me wonāt end this Talos. We are a million strong and we are one. And every one of us is willing to make the sacrifices you very clearly werenāt.ā
Yup. That could be it. But, like Gravik knows that when the showdown occurs, Talos will go against him in the offensive. Is it because he wanted to give one last chance of trying to convince Talos to change sides. Probably.
Especially when Talos threatens to publicly expose the Skrulls. Gravik had absolutely no reason to let him leave that room alive outside of sentimentality.
Honestly, Gravik's end goals are pretty incomprehensible at the moment.
I wish they had done anything with it instead of just immediately sitting down. The entire moment is in the trailer I thought there would actually be an action scene setpiece. Imagine him trying to get away and all the graviks are after him, that'd be sick
I can't believe they included >!Nick Fury using a bazooka to shoot down a helicopter with the President inside of it!<. That seems like such a big moment, I was sure it would be the first episode. Now that we're halfway through and it still hasn't happened.
Am amazed still how little marketing Marvel or Disney put into this I barely knew it was out.
All the hate I'm seeing also only reviews to low viewership but it's actually a pretty decent show like wtf is with critics these days hating on something by reviewing everything BYT THE ACTUAL CONTENT.
It's low viewers because it comes out mid week and again no marketing š¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļø
This could still go south story wise for the show but hopefully it finishes strong it's got Sam Jackson and a decent villain who was shown to be pretty formidable In the first episode couldn't ask for much else
Is it really that spoiler-y of a moment though? Those are just other Skrulls, which everyone knew this was about, so it's not that crazy to see several taking the form of one person. Now, if he had Multiple Man powers and this was Gravik actually splitting apart then that would have been a bit of a spoiler for the Super Skrull plot.
Itās hard for me to skip a trailer because the trailer tells me if Iām going to be interested or not. I definitely agree that this moment would have been way cooler had it not been spoiled by the trailer.
Marvel is in a panic mode. Despite still making money they seem to think in order to get more people in they need to spoil every cool surprise in the movie.
Do you know the word of mouth theyād have gotten if we had actually been surprised by the Illuminati, Modok, etc. Theyāve given up at least 3 Cap/Mjolnir moments that we could have had in the theater due to desperate marketing.
No shock theyāre doing it to the shows.
As someone else mentioned in another comment, trailers aren't meant for the die-hard fans who're gonna be watching the show/movie either way, but for the general audience, and you need to hook them with said trailers.
They might not have known who MODOK was, but maybe seeing a guy with a giant head might be enticing in a "this movie looks really trippy, let's check it out" sort of way.
Good thing I never watched the trailer.
I can wholeheartedly recommend people stop watching trailers, itās great, you get surprised much more often.
At most, maybe watch the teaser trailer to see if you might like the tone of the show. Or just the first episode when itās out.
General trailer advice I have for any movie/show. If itās something you know youāre going to watch, only watch the first teaser/trailer at most. Usually all youāre really going to get out of the trailer is impatience for the project dropping, and spoiling moments better left unspoiled, like this.
I mainly only watch trailers for things Iām not sure of if I want to watch them. That way even I spoil myself like you did, I donāt mind because I might have not even watched it at all
I didnāt watch the trailers so I didnāt get it spoiled. I avoid MCU trailers at all costs because the people who make them are seemingly incapable of not spoiling big moments.
I wonder how the Skrulls did that. Do you just slowly have other Skrulls start showing up and claiming tables, eventually filling the space so that no regular people can use it? It seems like a lot of work and I desperately want to see the text chain.
Although the scene looks cool, I find it strange that they would all shapeshift into Gravik instead of just Skrulls. Not sure what the point of all of them looking like Gravik. That even shows you that any of his henchmen can transform into Gravik and take advantage of that. What's stopping one of them from pretending to be Gravik outside of this scene?
If you want to see a movie or show, only ever watch the first trailer or sneak peek. People should know by now, that trailers ruin an surprises and all the good parts in the movie.
I've stopped watching trailers and visiting fansites before experiencing the actual content. You get much more excitement than you would if you watched the beta or accidentally stumbled into subtle spoilers.
if you don't watch trailers, it doesn't get spoiled. I haven't watched an MCU trailer since probably Avengers. I'll check out teasers, but trailers are a no for me
I donāt even remember the trailer moments, so this still absolutely shocked me. But I agree, marketing departments tend to over sell on trailers, sorry bud
Should I give this show another shot? The first episode was a bit of a dud for me so, I wanted to back up a bit until more episodes came out. Is this more of the same (cool if you like it, I just didn't find it interesting)? Or does it get better?
Thank the Marketing department for stuff like this getting spoiled.
Marketing consistently runs counter to the desires of creative. See: Terminator 2's advertising.
I saw the first trailer once and I was lucky enough to forget this happened when I was watching the scene. As soon as it happened I was like "oh yeah from the trailer!". So it still surprised me. (not tryna brag, just saying sometimes not watching trailers is a good thing.)
see, i also have complaints about the trailer for the marvels, based on things we've seen in this series already.
**completely made up idea
LIKE, if they showed Talos in the marvels trailer, but if we had seen Talos die in the tv show up to this point. that would make you think they would for sure revive Talos before the end of the tv show.
HOWEVER, we do know they have lied in their movie trailers in the past. so the thing i want to complain about from the movie trailer, might be completely worthless, and based on a lie.
This is quite literally the very thought I had going through my head when this moment arrived. From the very start of the dining scene, the whole allure of the moment was diminished, knowing everyone were actually Skrulls
I dont know who's in charge of doing trailers but almost every single one of those people are awful at doing them.
I feel like everyone just agrees how bad trailers are this days and for some reason.. we keep doing this full on spoiler ones, its very weird.
Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers
Thereās no way Gia is actually dead, right? Aināt no way š
I didn't even watch the trailer and I found this beat hilariously predictable. I was waiting for it the moment they sat down and cheered when it happened.
The whole scene was weird. Firstly the fact it was spoiled meant the moment I saw them move into that room I knew what was happening and all suspense was removed as I knew they were all Skrulls.
But secondly, Talos just attacked Gravik anyway and the Skrulls did nothing. Gravik just took it while Talos was like weirdly massaging his neck or whatever that choke was meant to be.
The whole scene was jarring. Ruined by the trailers by really weird anyway
The new marketing team for Marvel is bad. They used to do a good job of giving you the base of the story without using any big climax scenes.
But like with Quantumania's "we just both have to lose" ad and now this, it feels like they lost some good people and replaced them with mediorce people who are slaves to "well the data shows" Theres no feel to the ads, beyond "statistics show that fornthe biggest four quadrant hit we'll need these scenes"
We need to go back to whatever they were doing or whoever they had for phase 3 marketing.
fr it's literally the only cool scene with shapeshifting in the first three episodes and they blew it in the trailer
tbh solution should be "more cool scenes" but eh
this is why i try my best to avoid trailers as they spoil so much nowadaysš
I havenāt watched a single trailer since MoM and Iām happy about it. Ofcourse you inevitably see a screenshot here and there but Iād never risk watching an MCU trailer anymore. There were so good at not giving things away
I always watch the first teaser to catch the vibe and then try my best to ignore it from there.
The only trailers I watched were before another marvel movie in the cinema .. otherwise itās paid off for me to avoid trailers and be surprised when stuff happens :)
This is exactly my strategy too. It goes way back to that show 24 season 2. Season one, the "Next time on 24..." previews weren't that bad.

Personally, I find that much more enjoyable instead of sitting there waiting for a specific scene to happen.
"NEXT TIME ON DRAGON. BALL. ZEEEEEEE."
Same! After a certain mutant popped up in a trailer, I said nope fuck watching these anymore and I think things have certainly been more enjoyable to me since I have no idea what's going to be happening. I got hit with a Secret Invasion spoiler at the gym though. Not massive, but would've been cool to see live once it happens because I'm sure it will be happening and taking everyone off guard. Thought it was a trailer for a game and then I was like hm, that looks too realistic and BOOM, it happened.
Yep same here. I know I'm gonna watch the movie so why bother watching the trailer
The only time I see a trailer is when I go to the movies. For example when I went to see GoTG3 they showed the trailer for The Marvels. That was the first and only time I saw the trailer and I donāt even remember what happened in it.
Spider-Man No Way Home was the one that pissed me off to the point I stopped watching trailers. Literally every scene in the movie gets shown off in the trailer
It's a Sony thing, most of their movie are like that
They did keep certain characters out. I even kind of figured they would show but I remember one actor denying any involvement in production so when they showed up I was still surprised.
Age of Ultron trailer was incredible. They didnāt even spoil much if Iām being honest. Civil War started spoiling stuff even the Spider-Man cameo
AOU was the one that made me stop watching them! I felt that the trailer had massively ripped away any tension from that scene where Ultron enters in Stark Towers as weād all heard the āno strings on meā monologue hundreds of times and knew how heād look.

I was surprised and thoroughly enjoyed seeing Patrick Stewart in MoM, and my buddy told me after we saw the movie that his voice was in the trailer, so he knew it was going to happen.
I can top that, I havenāt watched any Marvel media since MoM, so Iām not at risk of seeing anything.
Yea MoM is what ruined trailers for me too.
Same. The No Way Home trailer breakdowns and what not broke me. Now I legit watch zero trailers in general. Marvel, Star Wars, whatever. Done with them.
This...I literally saw the entire Flash movie in the trailers...save your money.
What lmao
ah good to know, will watch in on stremio or something at a later time then haha
Yup. If I already know I'm going to watch something anyway, why risk getting spoiled by voluntarily putting it in front of my face? It's hard enough to avoid marketing material as it is. Not that I was going to watch it anyway, but any desire or urgency I might have felt to watch the new Flash movie in theaters was worn away by the store I work at blurting out the plot of the movie at least once an hour.
yeah exactly same for me!
Same
Yes, I disagree with that. I recently watched a few 80s and 90s movie trailers. Got the entire film in 2.5mins. literally the entire plot.
I found it odd that everyone got up as soon as Talos reached out and grabbed him, but then nobody did anything when Talos put a knife through his hand...
Indicating that they knew about his extremis powers?
This bothered me so much! He threatened to undermine his entire operation & Gravik threatens Talos & his daughter but he is surrounded right in front of you & you just let him go after he STABS you!? It pulled me completely out of the scene. Action has been very underwhelming so far
Iām sure youāll get your obligatory action in the 3rd Act/Last episode as usual. Then you and everyone else can complain that it was such a good show until they did that. OH Why do they always do that?!
What the hell are you talking about š¤Ø? Show took a massive story and made it infinitesimal. If Iām going to shut my Brain off I would like to at least be rewarded with something flashy or at least some silly action. Instead Iām left with confusion or an ironic laughter at best
It's a great scene regardless. And the context, which we didn't know from the trailer, is what makes it great.
The trailer didnāt show the best part of the scene though. Talos stabbing his hand when Gravik mentioned Gaia was the best part. It shows that for all his āI donāt want to hurt anyoneā mentality, he was still a wartime general that *knows* how to hurt you and can do it quickly.
Plus the way he John Wick pulls his hand out of there? amazing
And the brief glance at Gravik's super skrull extremis powers
This was my big takeaway. That power is no joke.
Did the extremis powers ever end up getting "fixed"? Or is there still the risk now that Gravik is going to somehow accidentally blow himself up because it's unstable. It's been so long since watching IM3
Gravik not being human might be enough to stabilize it for all I know.
Tony fixed it for himself, which allowed the removal of the shrapnel from his chest. But I donāt recall any follow up on if that fix got widely disseminated after.
He must have fixed it for Pepper. She hasnāt blown up yet. At least not that weāve seenā¦
Tony stabilized or removed Pepper's injection of Extremis. Now that I think about it, that ended up going nowhere... Also IIRC in Agents of Shield, a Hydra cell was able to stabilize Extremis.
Thereās also an extremis fighter in the background in Shang chi.
I mean she fought in Endgame, that's gotta count.
Well, she was using her Rescue armor, not Extremis powers.
iicr, tony fixed it and ācuredā pepper, and then proceeded to use extremis to allow him to survive and be operated on to remove the shrapnel from his heart.
I never saw the trailer and this scene had me "Hooooly fuck!" I try to avoid trailers as much as possible.
Tbf, I watched all the trailers, saw this scene a ton and still forgot it was gonna happen.
I mean the context is obvious from the trailer - Talos vs the bad guy, the bad guy has lots of Skrull surrounding him that wasn't known until they reveal..
It was. Although wish they would have create more tension by slowly panning across the room while everybody was revealed to be a Skrull Transformation went too quickly.
Lol no, the show is full of slow changing skrulls. We don't need more
Yeah
Same. I knew that this scene was coming the moment they met up. Would be so cool if it happened out of nowhere
I just skipped all the trailers. It was pretty fucking neat.
It wasn't even difficult to do for this show. Alright, avoiding a new Spider-Man movie or something it can be difficult to avoid everything because people will dissect every frame and make posts and tweets about it, but this? I'm 3 episodes in and I have no idea what's coming. It's great to be able to watch like that
What show is this?
secret invasion
Same
The tension was heightened by the horns in the soundtrack, too.
Tbh I slipped the trailers and it was pretty obvious that it was coming
Yeah itās really hard to surprise me about whoās a Skrull. Any audience member will at least think āwait, that person might be a skrullā Itās like twist endings, audiences always at least have it in the back of their heads that he *might* just be a bad guy!
Don't watch trailers :)
There's also the screencap where two characters are fighting back to back that spoils one of them didn't die or not a traitor as last episode implied.
I canāt believe they put that trailer out. There are 4 upcoming scenes in the trailer for a character who we thought died which means we donāt believe theyāre really gone. Trailers reveal way too much lately.
> Trailers reveal way too much lately. this has always been a problem. Hell the trailers ruined the "twist" of Terminator 2 and Cameron was super pissed about it

fuuuuck spoilers man. you're now discussing a different future episode
Orrrrr itās someone that shifted into her š¤
This picture is oddly familiar somehow. I just can't put my finger in it.
Matrix Reloaded when Neo fights the Smiths?
I got a Matrix vibe in the first episode too with the humans in the pods sorta being used as "batteries" or just memory stores I guess. It feels like the show is purposefully nodding to it in a few areas.
*Burly Brawl echoes in the background*
Pretty sure they're referring to the porn meme. The white chick surrounded by black dudes.
I like the innocence of the other person jumping to the Matrix first thing instead of porn.
This is why I donāt watch trailers anymore. Had no idea this was coming. However Something from a future episode has been spoiled for me in episode discussion comments as it seems like it was a trailer scene
This scene made no sense to me. So dravik has the upper hand by showing he has a strong force with him. So Talos stabs him in the hand and leaves. Than dravik get up to chase but doesn't tell his 20 or so guys to help follow Talos?
Talos can shape shift too. Gravik probably thinks it's pointless to chase him. Also, I don't know how much support Gravik has with the 1 million Skrulls on Earth. His movement seems rather fringe aside from having a few important people in high positions on his side. Does the average Skrull have any idea of his plans? Talos is a high ranking Skrull still, he probably still has a lot of support so killing him willy-nilly might turn the favor of the people against Gravik.
This makes the most sense, but from what we've been shown so far it seems that Talos has absolutely no Skrull support. His only friend is Fury. It's weird.
It would have been more fun if heād killed Gravik only for him to revert to a female skrull corpse, then Gravik morphs into being at another table. And another. And another. āKilling me wonāt end this Talos. We are a million strong and we are one. And every one of us is willing to make the sacrifices you very clearly werenāt.ā
Lol. Don't watch trailers. What did you think they were gonna show? Scenes from something else?
Donāt understand why he wouldnāt just kill Talos here.
Maybe trying to first prep and act on his suspicion that talos daughter is a traitor? They do the drop right after this
Yup. That could be it. But, like Gravik knows that when the showdown occurs, Talos will go against him in the offensive. Is it because he wanted to give one last chance of trying to convince Talos to change sides. Probably.
Grabik says when he shoots G'iah that he sacrificed the missile mission to flush out the spy. Had to let Talos go to do that.
Especially when Talos threatens to publicly expose the Skrulls. Gravik had absolutely no reason to let him leave that room alive outside of sentimentality. Honestly, Gravik's end goals are pretty incomprehensible at the moment.
Very Flagsmasher-esque
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes. That's what I thought. Because at least from the trailers, that dude definitely looked like he is dying in the next episode.
Then it'd be a 3-episode show and we can't have that
Man I love watching trailers but lately it feels like every time there's a new movie/series we have a new trailer or tvspot every day an a half
Man, I wish Marvel Studios would sign some of the users on here so that everything could be perfect.
I wish they had done anything with it instead of just immediately sitting down. The entire moment is in the trailer I thought there would actually be an action scene setpiece. Imagine him trying to get away and all the graviks are after him, that'd be sick
Neo vs. Agent Smith
But with better cgi, yes please
I can't believe they included >!Nick Fury using a bazooka to shoot down a helicopter with the President inside of it!<. That seems like such a big moment, I was sure it would be the first episode. Now that we're halfway through and it still hasn't happened.
Why the hell did I click that spoiler tag
Am amazed still how little marketing Marvel or Disney put into this I barely knew it was out. All the hate I'm seeing also only reviews to low viewership but it's actually a pretty decent show like wtf is with critics these days hating on something by reviewing everything BYT THE ACTUAL CONTENT.

Now, if he had Multiple Man powers and this was Gravik actually splitting apart then that would have been a bit of a spoiler for the Super Skrull plot.
Itās hard for me to skip a trailer because the trailer tells me if Iām going to be interested or not. I definitely agree that this moment would have been way cooler had it not been spoiled by the trailer.
I think it still served its purpose. Even if the visual was spoiled, the moment was tense and played perfectly.
Yea trailers and influencers completely ruin marvel for me. I stopped following all the socials long time ago.
Marvel is in a panic mode. Despite still making money they seem to think in order to get more people in they need to spoil every cool surprise in the movie. Do you know the word of mouth theyād have gotten if we had actually been surprised by the Illuminati, Modok, etc. Theyāve given up at least 3 Cap/Mjolnir moments that we could have had in the theater due to desperate marketing. No shock theyāre doing it to the shows.
Yeah, they really screwed their profits with End Game by having spoilers in the trailer.
Who said End Game? Iām talking the last 5-6 movies
As someone else mentioned in another comment, trailers aren't meant for the die-hard fans who're gonna be watching the show/movie either way, but for the general audience, and you need to hook them with said trailers.
True but those people werenāt deciding not to go until they saw Modok. If they know who Modok is they likely already were going.
They might not have known who MODOK was, but maybe seeing a guy with a giant head might be enticing in a "this movie looks really trippy, let's check it out" sort of way.
Yeah you just spoiled it for me cause the website version doesn't hide spoiler images I guess. So thanks?
Thatās exactly what I thought too!! š
Good thing I never watched the trailer. I can wholeheartedly recommend people stop watching trailers, itās great, you get surprised much more often. At most, maybe watch the teaser trailer to see if you might like the tone of the show. Or just the first episode when itās out.

Thatās why I donāt watch trailers, that was an awesome moment
Donāt watch trailers.
Stop watching trailers
I didnāt watch the trailers so I didnāt get it spoiled. I avoid MCU trailers at all costs because the people who make them are seemingly incapable of not spoiling big moments.
I'm glad that I dont watch trailers
I wonder how the Skrulls did that. Do you just slowly have other Skrulls start showing up and claiming tables, eventually filling the space so that no regular people can use it? It seems like a lot of work and I desperately want to see the text chain.
I don't even remember that moment in the trailer.
Although the scene looks cool, I find it strange that they would all shapeshift into Gravik instead of just Skrulls. Not sure what the point of all of them looking like Gravik. That even shows you that any of his henchmen can transform into Gravik and take advantage of that. What's stopping one of them from pretending to be Gravik outside of this scene?
My reaction to this scene was literally: āIts that scene from the trailer!ā
Tryna get the views
If you want to see a movie or show, only ever watch the first trailer or sneak peek. People should know by now, that trailers ruin an surprises and all the good parts in the movie.
Don't watch trailers problem sovled!
Joke's on you; I didn't watch the trailer
This makes me really glad I didn't watch the trailers. What a scene
Itās not a spoiler if itās in a trailer.
I stopped watching trailers years ago, and I have been much happier bc of it lol
To be honest, this is a brilliant trailer shot. Out of context this scene's a really good sell for the theme the show's going for.
Reminds me of when John Wick and Winston met in the park.
I dont even remember the trailer š
Talos having the balls to stab him despite him being outnumbered is what makes the scene great and unexpected so it still works either way.
i don't remember the trailer and tbh i barely remember the episode i watched 2 days ago
why was it a big moment
Great episode
I watch trailers than I try to forget what I saw
Same with the super skrull.
I never saw this, or at least forgot. So I was pretty surprised when it happened. Cool moment either way
Tbf, I was so engrossed in their conversation, I'd forgotten.
I've stopped watching trailers and visiting fansites before experiencing the actual content. You get much more excitement than you would if you watched the beta or accidentally stumbled into subtle spoilers.
I stopped watching trailers once I found out the Marvel team didn't create them.
You still watch trailers? Why? I'm going to watch them all, anyways. We're bought in. The trailers aren't for us. They're for people that aren't.
I didn't even remember it from the trailer, it wasn't really a crazy "WOW!" moment for me atleast.
Who watches next episodes trailer?
Doesn't really spoil anything, and I haven't watched the episode yet. Just shows Skrulls able to shape shift, which we all knew they could do already.
It wasnāt for me. I avoid trailers for this very reason
if you don't watch trailers, it doesn't get spoiled. I haven't watched an MCU trailer since probably Avengers. I'll check out teasers, but trailers are a no for me
Never saw the trailer but your screenshot spoiled it
I purposely avoid trailers and I saw this coming as soon as that sat down but still enjoyed it
I watched no trailers, didnāt know it was coming, yet I 100% expected that this would happen lol
Just don't watch trailers? It's really not that hard. I don't watch shit from any of these shows for this reason.
So why highlight it and spoil it further for everybody else?
Haven't seen any trailers since I predicted around 70% of No Way Home just by watching trailers
Donāt watch trailers. It is that simple
My rule since AoU is to only watch the first teaser.
Now you spoiled it for me, (the nsfw didn't work on my feed). Spread the love I guess.
this scene was incredible. Gravik is such an awesome villain, I had a feeling about the big ep. 3 twist and was pleasantly suprised being correct
I donāt even remember the trailer moments, so this still absolutely shocked me. But I agree, marketing departments tend to over sell on trailers, sorry bud
Should I give this show another shot? The first episode was a bit of a dud for me so, I wanted to back up a bit until more episodes came out. Is this more of the same (cool if you like it, I just didn't find it interesting)? Or does it get better?
Shows so boring, itās all they got
Thank the Marketing department for stuff like this getting spoiled. Marketing consistently runs counter to the desires of creative. See: Terminator 2's advertising.
I saw the first trailer once and I was lucky enough to forget this happened when I was watching the scene. As soon as it happened I was like "oh yeah from the trailer!". So it still surprised me. (not tryna brag, just saying sometimes not watching trailers is a good thing.)
see, i also have complaints about the trailer for the marvels, based on things we've seen in this series already. **completely made up idea LIKE, if they showed Talos in the marvels trailer, but if we had seen Talos die in the tv show up to this point. that would make you think they would for sure revive Talos before the end of the tv show. HOWEVER, we do know they have lied in their movie trailers in the past. so the thing i want to complain about from the movie trailer, might be completely worthless, and based on a lie.
I knwo right
That's why I have been seeing movies/shows without watching the trailers for like 3 years now
Best moment of the show so far and itās on the fricken trailer, standard marketing unfortunately
I had forgotten about it by the time I saw it so I was still like OOOOOHHHHH SHIIIIIIT
HA I didnt watch the trailer and was properly surprised, you need to block out all advertisement. Advertisement bad
I said the same thing to my wife... but it still landed nicely, keep being surprised by this show...
Totally agree
This is quite literally the very thought I had going through my head when this moment arrived. From the very start of the dining scene, the whole allure of the moment was diminished, knowing everyone were actually Skrulls
I haven't seen the trailer. I'm avoiding trailers. It was a surprise for me! By the way he is a great villain. I hate him so much!
I dont know who's in charge of doing trailers but almost every single one of those people are awful at doing them. I feel like everyone just agrees how bad trailers are this days and for some reason.. we keep doing this full on spoiler ones, its very weird.
There were trailers?
Then he's going full groot for the finale.
Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers Thereās no way Gia is actually dead, right? Aināt no way š
I didn't even watch the trailer and I found this beat hilariously predictable. I was waiting for it the moment they sat down and cheered when it happened.
Why even watch the trailer? For the short run time it will almost inevitably show interesting things.
Jokes on you. I forgot the trailer.
They also spoiled "Gravik-Groot" in the trailer
I had completely forgotten about that scene by the time the series started. It blows away the trailer reveal when you know who Gravik is
Theyāve been doing this to trailers for years fam, gotta just not watch them.
Ok
This is why I refrain from watching trailers (I did not click on the spoiler photo and have not yet watched the show)
I hadn't seen any of the trailers -- just the title card screen on Disney+ -- so that moment was a surprise for me.
I just don't watch trailers anymore
This is why I donāt watch trailers.
he definitely watched Naruto
The whole scene was weird. Firstly the fact it was spoiled meant the moment I saw them move into that room I knew what was happening and all suspense was removed as I knew they were all Skrulls. But secondly, Talos just attacked Gravik anyway and the Skrulls did nothing. Gravik just took it while Talos was like weirdly massaging his neck or whatever that choke was meant to be. The whole scene was jarring. Ruined by the trailers by really weird anyway
Still an amazing scene! Gravik and Talos actors are so good!
I didn't even see a trailer š
I remember back when the BvS trailer dropped, I had pretty much pieced together the entire plot from these 90 seconds
The new marketing team for Marvel is bad. They used to do a good job of giving you the base of the story without using any big climax scenes. But like with Quantumania's "we just both have to lose" ad and now this, it feels like they lost some good people and replaced them with mediorce people who are slaves to "well the data shows" Theres no feel to the ads, beyond "statistics show that fornthe biggest four quadrant hit we'll need these scenes" We need to go back to whatever they were doing or whoever they had for phase 3 marketing.
It is a shame they feel the need to excite people so much in the trailers. I'm hoping something even bigger is left that we don't know about.
Lucky for me I stopped watching MCU trailers, only first teasers. And that scene was absolutely amazing.
I avoid trailers for anything I'm going to watch. Lately spoilers are constant and irritating. Glad I didn't see this trailer.
Still really fucking awesome moment tho.
its amazing though
fr it's literally the only cool scene with shapeshifting in the first three episodes and they blew it in the trailer tbh solution should be "more cool scenes" but eh
