Remarkableriots Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Quote What’s remarkable about this fevered anticipation is the degree to which it’s fan-created, without noticeable direction from Marvel or the filmmakers involved, although the Russo brothers aren’t above trolling fans with teases about both the movie’s trailer, title and very existence, amusingly enough. Nonetheless, with little more than the most vague tease about… well, anything at all, fans will leap to the conclusion that the Avengers 4trailer is imminent and leap into an advanced state of excitement. With this in mind, I would like to submit a proposal to Marvel Studios: Don’t release a trailer for the next Avengers movie. There’s literally no need to spend the time or money doing so, given the advanced level of enthusiasm that’s already out there for the movie, and is only likely to build as it gets closer to the May release date. It’s not as if anyone needs to be told that this project exists, or is forthcoming; people are already so aware of it that they’re sharing secondhand rumors online about when the promotion for the movie might begin. That’s a kind of brand awareness that most studios would kill for. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/why-avengers-4-trailer-should-never-be-released-1166311 This actually sounds like a good idea!

DarkStar189 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I'd be on board. Youtubers would hate it because they couldn't make their stupid "10 Things You Missed In The Avengers Trailer!!!!" videos. So sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 For as much fan hype as there already exists, I'm skeptical that that means trailers have no value. It's not just fans you're targeting but the general audience who shows up for these movies, but otherwise is not very involved and doesn't pay much attention. Maybe @sblfilms will have some useful perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 A world with no trailers is not a world I wish to live in. Plus i I think we’ve established that without trailers 90% of the general public is too stupid to even know there are new movies out.

Stickey Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 There are very few things in the world that makes money without marketing or advertising, movies isnt one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 If there's a single lesson to be taken from this it's that these media companies need to learn to ignore the most rabid fans. Whether it's Marvel or Disney or Blizzard or EA or whomever, these are companies that serve millions and millions of people, and the bad actions of the frenzied minority shouldn't drive their decisions.

I'm not sure that would be sufficient, but I also don't purport to know what is effective at reaching the general public Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 This is a rare, dumb article from the Hollywood Reporter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputator Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 They could literally show the title of the movie with some music and voice clips throughout the franchise and then the release date. Literally nothing but text on the screen. I think that would be a ballsy, brilliant move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, just like the first Dark Knight teaser.. all social media is infested with people trying to gain hits for breaking the news to everyone... its gotten very annoying.. plus my anticipation is for the next Godzilla trailer.. specially now that we know exactly how the monsters look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 They can split the difference by putting out a trailer that shows almost nothing at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You jest, but many people online were threatening to bomb Marvel Studios if Captain Marvel trailer was released before Avengers 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad form to release a trailer where everyone comes back from the dead on the day of a POTUS funeral I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 The real reason (seriously) is that the markets were closed. Disney wants a stock bump from events like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
