I thought the Justice Leauge trailer was pretty strong but all their humor combined in those couple minutes still aren’t as great as the one last scene of the new doctor strange trailer. Marvel NAILS humor. DC has been hit or miss… Cough cough “every one of perry whites cringey jokes in BvS”.

But the Wonder Woman trailer blew me away! I wasn’t excited at all for her standalone but this trailer really got me legitamely pumped! DC I think had some great stuff shown at comic con. It does make me mad how reactionary all their content is though…

“Ohhhhhh there’s too much death/destruction in Man of steel!” cries out hoards of fans. DC decides to remind the audience fifty million times that the climatic battle location in BvS is deserted. “Luckily every one is off work and this area is entirely deserted”.

Then people complain further…

“BvS is too dark! No fun! No Levity! This sucks” DC then comes out with a trailer filled to the brim with jokes that basically send the message of: “hey guys were not dark anymore. We’re just like marvel, yah! We wanted to be dark cause that’s cool but we guess being funny and light is the only thing that can make money. You like?? 😃”. I wish they just hired good writers and stayed bold and true to a good vision from beginning to end and not constantly react to every fan response. I personally liked a dark take on superman and other characters but just thought they could have crafted a better story. The tone wasn’t the biggest issue. It was character development, story problems and atrocious editing. Happily the UE fixes many of these issues.
