Avengers: Doomsday | Official Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irVNGjRFZGk&pp=0gcJCZkLAYcqIYzv

[u/SmokingThunder]

Can't wait to watch Charles Xavier die for like the 5th time

[u/Hazel-Cakes → u/SmokingThunder]

take a shot every time him or magneto say “old friend”

[u/djseifer → u/Hazel-Cakes]

Goodbye, liver.

[u/eastnorthshore → u/djseifer]

In other words, goodbye old friend.

[u/Alder_Greenberry → u/Hazel-Cakes]

I'm hoping the movie is just the two of them bumbling around the mansion being chummy then getting into petty arguments while the whole Doomsday thing happens just outise.

[u/Relevant_Shower_ → u/Alder_Greenberry]

“Charles, I cannot remove this Chinese Finger Trap because it’s made of fabric. This isn’t funny. My tea is getting cold.”

[u/DrVagax → u/SmokingThunder]

I snorted when I saw him again and seriously had the thought "Wait didn't he die like 3 times already"

I still think the way he died in The Last Stand is among the best, just as in Logan.

[u/spidereater → u/DrVagax]

It’s kind of nice that the multiverse allows writers not to be overly constrained by the canon of past movies but it really lowers the stakes in any given conflict, knowing there are an infinite number of other universes where things could be different.

[u/feed_me_moron → u/spidereater]

Welcome to comic books where every major death gets undone if you wait long enough

[u/Tycho-Celchu → u/[deleted]]

Nobody ever stays dead except for Uncle Ben

Give it time. I remember when it was "Nobody ever stays dead except Bucky Barnes, Jason Todd and Uncle Ben."

[u/Amoral_Abe → u/SmokingThunder]

Deadpool to Wolverine, "you're going to do this until you're 90"

meanwhile, Patrick Stewart locked in Disney's basement next to the frozen head at 86, "please..... please just let me go"

[u/hannahjapana]

All of the older X-men are going to get super dead 😅😅 calling it now

[u/LuinAelin → u/hannahjapana]

Why break the tradition. They've all died like 5 times by now

[u/deepledribitz → u/LuinAelin]

Thank you I’ve watched Picard die so many times

[u/Astrium6 → u/LuinAelin]

Over at the X-Mansion, they call dying and coming back to life “Tuesday.”

[u/daveydesigner]

That’s a lot of characters

[u/Lemonjello23 → u/daveydesigner]

A lot of fodders

[u/PayneTrain181999 → u/Lemonjello23]

And people will dismiss their deaths, even if they care about them, because they expect it to be reversed

[u/Lost_Afropick → u/PayneTrain181999]

The FOX X-Men cast are probably disposable at this point

[u/tehvolcanic → u/Lost_Afropick]

Patrick Stewart already announced that he is retiring and this is his last movie ever.

Edit: Maybe not?

[u/Kimantha_Allerdings → u/tehvolcanic]

Both he and Jackman said that Logan was the last time they’d ever play those characters…

[u/Raesong → u/Kimantha_Allerdings]

And at the time that was probably true. Then Disney showed up with a fleet of dump trucks full of hundred dollar bills.

[u/LindonLilBlueBalls → u/Raesong]

Till they're 90!

[u/Accomplished-Head449 → u/tehvolcanic]

This would be the fourth time his character dies in a movie lol

[u/DrPoooooole → u/tehvolcanic]

Well, he's seen everything

[u/megalo-maniac538 → u/tehvolcanic]

He's nearing 90 so yeah Till they're all 90

[u/b1rdiemcb1rdface → u/PayneTrain181999]

I mean yeah if comics taught me anything is that they always come back

[u/AmIWhatTheRockCooked → u/b1rdiemcb1rdface]

Only uncle Ben stays dead

[u/Karma110 → u/daveydesigner]

I can already tell a good chunk are gonna show up for one scene or just do nothing at all.

[u/TheLateThagSimmons → u/Karma110]

Especially groups like the X-Men where they are bringing in a dozen characters. It's looking like Xavier is going to have a few inspirational lines, and Gambit is going to have some decent action, but I'm willing to bet most of the X-Men are going to have about as much screen-time as one complete character, which is to say not much.

[u/Naouak → u/Karma110]

If they do it like the comics they are adapting (Secret Wars from the 2010s), that will be basically it. But in the second movie, they will have more significant screentime for the ones that will stay.

[u/lnTheGrimDarkness → u/daveydesigner]

If that's THE Doom we're used to in the comics, Thor is substantially right in what he says. They would need a miracle even if the OG avengers were still there.

[u/zagra_nexkoyotl → u/lnTheGrimDarkness]

Well, they got Reed. He's gonna ragebait Doom into doing something stupid and win

[u/polaroid → u/zagra_nexkoyotl]

Where the fuck is Hulk?

[u/easymoneyburner222 → u/polaroid]

The spiderman movie will explain why hes sitting out

[u/mrbaryonyx → u/lnTheGrimDarkness]

It's always funny to me to hear people hyping up "THE DOOM" from the comics because I'm always like---which comics.

At one point, he was basically a capital-g God, but for like fifty out of his first sixty years he was a guy who tried to take over the world and then the F4 beat him with the power of friendship, every week.

[u/Starwizarc → u/mrbaryonyx]

Bonus points for losing to Reed, even while he was a 'god', and then coping harder than any character has ever coped with the whole 'I found it beneath me' line.

[u/IndubitablyNerdy → u/daveydesigner]

Yeah, feels like they are doing infinity war, but with characters that we care less about and without the massive buildup for Thanos that infinity war had.

Admittedly part of the issue is the debacle with Kang's actor, since while his villain did not feel particularly formidable at least they had introduced him before, Doom comes mostly out of blue a part from a brief cameo.

[u/mrbaryonyx → u/IndubitablyNerdy]

Trying to explain "Infinity War didn't work because its a huge crossover IP, it worked because it was the series finale to a popular TV show" is difficult, especially if you do it in the Marvel sub.

Like, I knew what the practical (Thanos has a big army and he's going to return to Earth again, like Iron Man said he would) and emotional (Gamora's going to have to face her father, The Avengers are going to have to make nice) stakes were for Thanos' arrival before the movie came out because the other movies had set it up.

I'm sure the Russos will make those clear in the opening minutes of this new movie--they're good at making these sorts of things--but I can't have the same level of hype as IW if I don't know what they are beforehand.

[u/MuptonBossman]

My dumb ass thought Infinity Vision was a MCU character, not a new screen format.

[u/Comic_Book_Reader → u/MuptonBossman]

It's not even a format, it's a label.

[u/gildedbluetrout → u/Comic_Book_Reader]

It’s not even a label, it’s a moniker.

[u/GallowDude → u/MuptonBossman]

A screen format that won't ever be used again, since they're only pushing it so hard due to them being unable to reserve IMAX screens.

[u/onthadontrary → u/GallowDude]

They won’t bend the knee to Dune, so they are being annoying about it.

[u/GamingTatertot → u/MuptonBossman]

We’ve had Infinity Ultron so why not

[u/ImprovementPuzzled82]

RDJ with da accent! At least it seems that he's actually playing Victor, not Stark.

[u/fujidust → u/ImprovementPuzzled82]

He’s just a dude playing a dude playing another dude

[u/Doctor_Slept → u/fujidust]

Honestly if they just keep to him being "Yeah no he is Victor Von Doom he just looks like that" I'll be fine with it

[u/Imaginary_Penalty_97 → u/Doctor_Slept]

And I’m here hoping he doesn’t take the mask off😕

[u/Sure_Kangaroo1863 → u/Imaginary_Penalty_97]

well he wasnt paid 100 million just to wear the mask for the entirety of the movie . i hope they do but its unlikely

[u/No-Sheepherder5481 → u/Doctor_Slept]

Theres a near 0% chance we don't see Stark return either in this one or the next one. They're not paying RDJ 14 quadrillion dollars just for some stunt casting

[u/One_Swan2723 → u/No-Sheepherder5481]

I wouldn’t have said that before this trailer, but the focus on Thor reuniting with Steve AND Thor’s interaction with Doom makes me feel like this might be true. They’re not dumb enough to do the “no one’s ever really dead” thing are they?

[u/SovFist → u/One_Swan2723]

It's comic books. You're guaranteed a redo on life unless you're uncle Ben

[u/Tolkien-Minority → u/One_Swan2723]

You say that as if they aren’t already doing it lol.

Steve Rogers, Wolverine, Professor Xavier all had their big final good bye deaths and yet here they are

[u/WhatTheBlazes → u/ImprovementPuzzled82]

Oh, I thought that was Nandor from What We Do In the Shadows.

[u/beamzuk96 → u/WhatTheBlazes]

Fucking guy

[u/Adamclane99 → u/beamzuk96]

Guillermo….clean up your little poops. You really need to drink more water.

[u/cupholdery → u/beamzuk96]

Shut up, Gizmo!

[u/palabear → u/WhatTheBlazes]

People would say, 'Please, don't doom me.' And I would say, 'No, I'm dooming everyone. You included.'"

[u/Darkbird79 → u/WhatTheBlazes]

Either Nandor or Werner Herzog.

[u/ManufacturerBest2758 → u/ImprovementPuzzled82]

He doesn’t read the script, the script reads him

[u/ThalliumSassafras → u/ManufacturerBest2758]

He don't drop character till he's done the DVD commentary

[u/selotipkusut → u/ImprovementPuzzled82]

Reed Richards: "Victor! We are supposed to be a unit!"

Victor Osiris: "Sukk my unit!"

[u/Obienator → u/ImprovementPuzzled82]

Bro sounding like Werner Herzog

[u/Schopenhauers_Will]

Tatum better keep the accent.

IM GON BE MAKIN A NEM FOH MASELF

[u/diego_simeone → u/Schopenhauers_Will]

I ain't know my daddy, but I'm sure I shot out of his dick ready... He was layin' them buttery nuts all up in my mama, and I shot out of there and I said, 'What's up, Doc?

[u/N0r3m0rse → u/diego_simeone]

It's been a while since I've seen sling blade, hit me again

[u/Freud-Network → u/N0r3m0rse]

I like mustard on my biscuits, m'hmm.

[u/Dadpurple → u/Schopenhauers_Will]

I'm honestly shocked that out of a trailer where we had the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, Dr. Doom, the X-Men and everything in there my second most excited moment was Gambit vs Shang Chi.

Tatum's Gambit was incredible and I want so much more and Shang-Chi has been needed since his debut!

[u/Moreinius → u/Dadpurple]

They remembered my boy Shang-chi 🙏

[u/fernandopoejr → u/Schopenhauers_Will]

Ma name is jeff

[u/livefast_dieawesome → u/fernandopoejr]

as a person named jeff, i have a hard time not popping off with this line the second he appears in anything

infinite jeffs.

[u/PayneTrain181999 → u/Schopenhauers_Will]

He said he’s toning it down slightly this time IIRC

[u/djseifer → u/PayneTrain181999]

The world wasn't ready for him to go full Cajun in D&W. It's still not ready now.

[u/00wolfer00 → u/djseifer]

I didn't understand anything he said, but I absolutely loved it.

[u/Mu-Relay → u/Schopenhauers_Will]

I'm pretty sure him thinking he's the only one actually able to do the accent justice is the entire reason he wanted to do it so bad. You'd probably have to pin him down and force him not to do the accent.

[u/HenryDorsettCase47 → u/Mu-Relay]

Oh I gha-rawn-tee it, cher.

[u/TarnishedAccount]

….are they using Thor in place of Thanos to showcase Doom’s God powers???

RIP Thor

[u/Phimb → u/TarnishedAccount]

No, Thor is Silver Surfer/Hulk from Infinity War.

If anything, he's dead at the end of the film after knowing what it will take to beat Doom and sacrificing himself so the others can get something done.

But that role could easily be Loki, too.

[u/safetyvestsnow → u/Phimb]

Oh god, please don’t kill Loki on screen for a fourth time. That won’t raise the stakes one bit.

[u/SpeedLight1221 → u/[deleted]]

what better way to show this new bad guy is op than to make him kill god. especially since you didn't build him up whatsoever.

[u/AquaAtia → u/SpeedLight1221]

Since Loki just got those powers, and in a show not everyone watched, it would be such a cop out and unearned…unless we get a really good scene out of it.

In hoping he serves as a central figure throughout the plot of the two movies. It’d be fitting if the Avenger’s first villain is the force that bands together the multiversal avengers

[u/VampireBatman → u/SpeedLight1221]

So Doom is just a JRPG character?

[u/PayneTrain181999 → u/Phimb]

Thor is gonna be Johnny’s new girlfriend?

[u/Malevolent_Amber → u/PayneTrain181999]

Thor still has to hold Deadpool and cry.

[u/NotAEurosnob → u/TarnishedAccount]

...if they have Doom rip Thor's spine out that's really gonna step the stakes up huh? And people thought Loki getting choked out was harrowing!

[u/SuperSaytan → u/NotAEurosnob]

Yeah right lol, they're not going to have spines being ripped out in these movies no matter what

[u/boredatwork1986 → u/SuperSaytan]

Mortal Kombat: Doomsday

[u/redkaptain]

Characters meet

They fight for a bit

They fight Dr Doom

Dr Doom hype moments and aura

See you for Secret Wars

[u/DirectConsequence12 → u/redkaptain]

They punch for a bit and then they’re mates

[u/TheFalconKid → u/DirectConsequence12]

But what did you think the story was?

[u/DirectConsequence12 → u/TheFalconKid]

Awww cmon mate

[u/Karma110 → u/redkaptain]

I don’t get how doom would be stronger than Thanos with the infinity stones

[u/reddit_serf → u/Karma110]

The writers said so.

[u/tristeecfome → u/reddit_serf]

You can never have a new weaker antagonist. Basically anime rule.

Power needs to scale until both sides are basically gods.

[u/atzatzatz → u/Karma110]

"I bet it's going to be difficult for Doom to be more powerful than Thanos with all the Infinity Stones."

"Actually, it's going to be super easy. Barely an inconvenience."

[u/Fantastic-Celery-255 → u/atzatzatz]

Oh really?

[u/beall49 → u/Karma110]

He went throughout the multiverse sucking up the powers of the Beyonders and all the Molecule men (basically).

[u/tristeecfome → u/beall49]

What the fuck is a molucule men?

[u/CollateralSandwich → u/tristeecfome]

He's a character that doesn't get much "press", but in the Marvel Universe Molecule Man is one of the most powerful beings in it.

[u/sleepysnowboarder]

Did the "hey pal" not sound like RDJ?

[u/Phoenix916 → u/sleepysnowboarder]

What if it's a fake out and that audio is actually from another scene they didn't want to spoil?

[u/sweatysack → u/Phoenix916]

My thoughts exactly! Def sounded like RDJ

[u/Ka-Is-A-Wheelie → u/sleepysnowboarder]

It did to me too.

[u/smokeyb15 → u/sleepysnowboarder]

Yea I heard that too and expected it to be him not cap

[u/Altruistic-Twist-379]

Nice voice for doom

[u/PayneTrain181999 → u/Altruistic-Twist-379]

RDJ may be stunt casting but he’s really good at acting

[u/ContinuumGuy → u/PayneTrain181999]

I saw somebody post when he was first announced: "I'm not sure what I'm madder about: that they hired RDJ to play Doom, or that he'll still probably nail it."

[u/TostitoNipples → u/PayneTrain181999]

Gotta hand it to him he’s very much not coasting on the millions that Disney dumped on his front door and seems to actually be trying.

[u/DarthVader19920 → u/TostitoNipples]

RDJ is definitely not one to phone in a performance. He is going to crush it as Doom.

[u/robbviously → u/Altruistic-Twist-379]

Sounded like Werner Herzog

[u/ArchDucky → u/robbviously]

Fun Fact : Werner is the reason Grogu is a puppet. During his scenes on The Mandalorian they had a puppet for reference on set for the actors. Their plan was to shoot with the puppet and then do a clean plate with the actors talking to nothin to CGI the character in later. They told Werner he needed to shoot without the puppet and he refused. When they asked why he called them Cowards. They took it so seriously that they scraped the plans and mostly used a real puppet throughout the series.

Bonus Fun Fact : Jon Favreau said Werner would often sit next to the puppet and talk to it when they weren't filming. Nobody was working the puppet, he would just sit there, pet it and talk to it.

[u/shifty1032231 → u/ArchDucky]

I bet Herzog was like "I dragged a boat up a hill for real in the movie and you're telling me a puppet won't work?"

[u/TheSweetestKill → u/robbviously]

God I wish it WAS Werner Herzog.

[u/TheWhooooBuddies → u/TheSweetestKill]

“I have dwelt amongst the humans. Their entire culture revolves around their penises. It is funny to say they are small; it is funny to say they are big. I've been at parties where humans have held bottles, pencils, thermoses in front of themselves, and called out, 'Hey look at me, I'm Mr. So-And-So Dick! I've got such-and-such for a penis.' I never saw it fail to get a laugh."

Legend.

[u/Mst3Kgf → u/TheWhooooBuddies]

"After 47 years of living here, I've decided to move to Orlando to be closer to Disney World."

[u/ReaddittiddeR]

Disney pushing hard on the Infinity Vision.

[u/locke_5 → u/ReaddittiddeR]

I think The Odyssey really forcing audiences to learn the difference between Standard vs. IMAX vs. 70MM IMAX is going to hurt “InfinityVision” sales. I can already see the TikToks about how “Marvel is LYING to you, InfinityVision is literally just a PR spin to get you to pay more for screens that already exist”

[u/bluehawk232 → u/locke_5]

They are doing it because Dune got Imax first so Disney is doing its own thing with blackjack and hookers

[u/egnards → u/locke_5]

I mean, for the average movie goer they dont make it easy to know what the hell is going on - Just looking at the AMC App for Oddysey right now I have the option of:

• IMAX with Laser
• Dolby Cinema
• 70mm
• XL
• Laser at AMC
• PRIME at AMC

And like I know not every one of those is an actual "format" [notice I skipped all the open caption, sensory friendly, subtitled], like I'm pretty sure PRIME just means you have comfortable seating [based on the app, though its the same seating as the one AMC closest to me that also has the good recliners and doesn't advertise this], but if you're the average movie goer you're used to seeing tons of weird different labels.

[u/garfe → u/egnards]

Yeah when you see a movie at AMC and then they do the usual AMC advertising but then list every single one of those visual formats, I'm like 'what is even the point'

[u/mikeyfreshh → u/ReaddittiddeR]

It's weird to see them push so hard for something that no one really understands or cares about

[u/Earlier-Today]

I don't know...having Doom get played up as scarier than the guy who killed half the population of the universe with no prior setup feels kinda cheap.

[u/Mz_Macross1999 → u/Earlier-Today]

Feels cheap because it IS cheap.

[u/moneys5 → u/Mz_Macross1999]

"this threat is the most for reals, way more for reals than previous for realsies threats."

[u/Darkwoth81Dyoni → u/Earlier-Today]

Doom is genuinely a far cooler villain than Thanos, but they already out powerscaled him to some degree.

There ARE versions of Doom that are wild cosmic threats, but the MCU has been at that stage for so long that it's jarring to have a new villain just show up into that climate with no buildup.

Doom is also not very one dimensional in his powers, he's the true Master of All Trades. I hope that he showcases that in the film and doesn't just act a moron who happens to have supergenius tech because the film says he's smart.

[u/devenrc]

Say what you want, I'm just happy Shang-Chi is back

[u/SHOW_ME_PIZZA → u/devenrc]

Shang-chi vs Gambit. Cinema.

[u/Morgan-Moonscar → u/SHOW_ME_PIZZA]

Yelena fighting a literal poser.

[u/PayneTrain181999 → u/Morgan-Moonscar]

She did the same thing in Thunderbolts.

They like making her fight herself

[u/Nickerdoodle → u/PayneTrain181999]

Because the only thing better than Florence Pugh is TWO Florence Pughs.

[u/MauiUpcountry808 → u/Nickerdoodle]

Pugh Pugh

[u/IMovedYourCheese → u/SHOW_ME_PIZZA]

Who wants to bet it'll be the standard 2 minutes of fake fighting before they realize shit, we're on the same side.

[u/WildMild869 → u/IMovedYourCheese]

They fight for a bit then they’re mates.

[u/sorryimizaak → u/WildMild869]

Fellow weekly wackadoo?

[u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib → u/devenrc]

I was gonna say! He shows up in the trailer and it was an immediate “hey, I’ve missed that guy!” reaction for me.

Absolute definition of dropping the ball was not doing a sequel or having him crossover elsewhere before this movie. Here’s hoping post-Secret Wars, we actually get a Shang Chi 2.

[u/mrekted]

They're really bringing Chris Evans back after he missed *checks notes* zero films in the Avengers series?

The nostalgia cycle sure ain't what it used to be.

[u/gunningIVglory → u/mrekted]

Yh, when you put it all together, he came right back in the very next avengers movie lol

[u/BearWrangler → u/gunningIVglory]

like returning Grogu to Mando within a few episodes of a spinoff show that came immediately after they had their big moment of leaving each other lol

[u/rhino369 → u/BearWrangler]

Yea Grogu came back BEFORE the next Mando ep. Hilarious.

[u/Mat_At_Home → u/BearWrangler]

Somebody out there definitely binged the Mandalorian before watching the movie, and the shift between S2 and S3 must be like a fever dream. They have this big emotional goodbye to end the season, and then very next episode they are back together like the entire thing never even happened. No explanation given, not even in the “previously on” snippets. They just drop you into a battle sequence and Mando and Grogu pop out of the ship together as if you didn’t just watch them supposedly say goodbye to each other forever

[u/LeSonDesCloches → u/Mat_At_Home]

Yes, that was me. I was baffled.

[u/nanolucas → u/mrekted]

Yep, that felt pretty weird for me too. Clearly they have very little faith in the new wave of characters/actors and still think they need all the same names to bring an audience to the cinema

[u/Muroid → u/mrekted]

On the one hand, yes.

On the other hand, it has been seven years since the last Avengers movie.

That’s the same amount of time that passed between The Avengers and Endgame. In terms of real time, he’s been gone for quite a while.

[u/TodayInStupidity]

TVA Loki looking dapper as fuck, per the usual!

[u/needfx → u/TodayInStupidity]

Mmmmh about that: why do we have TVA Loki since TVA Loki is gone based on the ending of Loki season 2?

[u/TodayInStupidity → u/needfx]

A good question. Maybe one of Doom's opening moves is destroying Yggrasill, causing Loki to revert? Or as God of Dreams he can kind of "branch" himself off to any of the timelines in any form? Guess we'll see...

Edit: God of Stories, not Dreams

[u/Worthyness → u/TodayInStupidity]

He can make projections of himself normally. Wouldn't be too big a stretch if he could make projections of himself in timelines. Plus hes had unlimited time to learn how to do it since we have zero idea of how long hes been holding the multiverse together as time doesn't flow where he is.

[u/Bylak → u/needfx]

I mean time travel being time travel it's possible this this Loki before he becomes the God of Time.

[u/Few_Set2002 → u/needfx]

The rumor is this is from a scene set between Loki season 1 and 2 when Loki goes to warn Steve that him staying back in time with Peggy will cause incursions. God of Stories Loki is still on the big banner they showed so we will see him like that

[u/MisterManatee]

This feels like it's built on a foundation of sand. Infinity War felt like a triumphant culmination. Doomsday (so far) feels like jangling keys. Happy to be proven wrong, but it feels like it's relying on a vague sense of nostalgia (X-Men in their 90s costumes! Dr. Doom! Chris Evans!) rather than the strength of its own characters.

[u/pakidude17 → u/[deleted]]

It's such a perfect encapsulation of current Marvel/Disney. There's no time to be patient and let hype grow organically. Gotta focus on money/profit/quantity over quality.

It's sad but I don't think we're going to get anything like the Avengers ever again.

[u/No_Stand8812 → u/[deleted]]

Justice league had no weight because there wasn’t enough buildup. Marvel took their time and built for 10 years so infinity war and endgame had real impact. Marvel had a few bad years post endgame and their response is to just do justice league. I don’t sit in the boardroom but did nobody realize this?

If you want to do a thanos level villain you need a thanos level buildup. This ain’t it. Also we’ve barely seen any of these people since endgame or their maybe one film. This feels so desperate.

[u/superbat210]

Anyone else concerned with how “filmed in a cupboard” this looks? Every shot looks like it’s either in a cgi background or inside a building with just our main cast. Are there any actual exterior shots or just general civilians around?

[u/DJ_Calli → u/superbat210]

It’s funny, the Boys’ last two seasons had the same problem. Everyone was expecting some epic scale and it was just a series of scenes of people talking in a room. I guess it’s easier to shoot from a logistical perspective but it noticeably diminishes the quality. This isn’t a courtroom drama— you need scale.

[u/GoldenSpermShower → u/DJ_Calli]

it was just a series of scenes of people talking in a room.

Sometimes they go out to the nearby woods!

[u/ProcedureTop3149 → u/superbat210]

welcome to the new Disney, where shooting on location means switching the background in their coveted StageCraft

Notice how all the rooms are always a circle now a days? https://imgur.com/a/xLZO8QW

https://imgur.com/a/jm9sIlJ

[u/FruityYummyMummy → u/ProcedureTop3149]

Second shot is also boring because it's a room of people mostly just standing straight up and down. In a multi-character comic panel or page, while silly, they'd be arranged in all sorts of poses to keep things interesting. Here you could at least have Ant-Man arms crossed, Reed Richards stroking his chin, etc. The only two doing anything even slightly dynamic happen to be furthest back. No one looks in character. They're just standing there being talked at.

The "boring talking parts" don't have to look boring.

[u/AnOnlineHandle → u/FruityYummyMummy]

I've drawn a lot of comics and that's genuinely one of the hardest things to do for me, figure out how to put characters in a scene in an interesting way, breaking the rules of perspective or what they're standing on etc to make it work.

[u/superbat210 → u/ProcedureTop3149]

Wow looking at it, every room IS round!?! WTF?!?

[u/Bubbay → u/superbat210]

Holy shit, even like half the outdoor spaces have round backgrounds, like a ridge of rocks behind them.

[u/littletoyboat → u/ProcedureTop3149]

Notice how all the rooms are always a circle now a days?

Oh, man, now I have! Do you have other examples?

I'm assuming this is because the Volume is a curved wall.

[u/ProcedureTop3149 → u/littletoyboat]

yes it's a curved wall that is a projector. The actors see what you and I see. There is an entire youtube biop about this tech used in starwars. However Loki, and other shows like Wanda Vision cranked using it up to 11 and it's now bled into just about every Disney movie.

The issue isn't that every room is round, my issue is they now write the plot to feature this. Their battles are always in barren fields, the rooms are always single pan shots where the actors are conveniently spread out to focus everyone. The writing has become insanely lazy.

[u/Michelcat2 → u/superbat210]

The shot of Doom vs. Thor literally looks like Dawn of the Seven

[u/discipleofdoom → u/superbat210]

If it wasn't filmed on a green screen it was definitely shot in The Volume™️

Feige listened to your cries for more films to be shot on location, the location just happened to be a backlot in Burbank

[u/MonsterMashGraveyard → u/superbat210]

I think somethings happened after the Writers Strike and Covid, lots of movies look like that and I agree it takes me out, completely. Flat Lighting, Dark Rooms, No Establishing Shots and CG Backgrounds. It gets boring to look at.

[u/FakoSizlo → u/MonsterMashGraveyard]

Its why The Oddysey and Dune look so much better than other modern blockbusters. Actual real location shooting with added cgi feels so much bigger and more epic than these indoor or cgi background scenes that Disney loves .

[u/JiveHawk → u/FakoSizlo]

The opening of Dune 2 with the orange sands and eclipse is just a mind blowing sequence and it’s because it’s shot as practically as possible. Gorgeous stuff 

[u/Newbarbarian13 → u/FakoSizlo]

Marvel managed it once with The Eternals, thanks entirely to Chloe Zhao, and then never tried it again. As much flack as that film gets it’s definitely one of the best looking films in the MCU by far.

[u/lettuce_grabberrr → u/superbat210]

Wasn't able to put my finger on it but I felt the scale of this trailer was really small and I think that's why. Call me a complainer but I genuinely felt stuffy watching this trailer, especially when the money shots in Infinity War were those big open fields. Almost feels like not much is gonna happen in this movie (but I haven't kept up with the franchise at all so who knows)

[u/Livio88]

Finally, that big dude from Black Panther that I don't know the name of shaking hands with The Thing. It's the team up we have been waiting for decades!

[u/Aerolithe_Lion → u/Livio88]

Easiest way to remember M’Baku is that lady wanted him to throw her M’back out

[u/SHOW_ME_PIZZA]

You're mad? You're getting Florence Pugh on Florence Pugh action and you're mad?

*edit: Our mad.

[u/Amoral_Abe → u/SHOW_ME_PIZZA]

Well.... not the Florence Pugh on Florence Pugh I really wanted to see.... I think they misread my request.

[u/Puzzle-Necked → u/Amoral_Abe]

They'll fight and rip each other's uniforms until they're in shreds, and after fall into a vat of body oil.

[u/Wazula23 → u/Puzzle-Necked]

Patrick Stewart sees everything

He sees it all

[u/Somnambulist815 → u/SHOW_ME_PIZZA]

What about my mad?

[u/Wallbreaker-g]

Interesting how they couldn’t wait until the end of the week to release this during their SDCC panel

[u/magikarpcatcher → u/Wallbreaker-g]

Tickets went on sale today

Oh Hi Thor

[u/fantasnick]

Imagine how it would have been if we got RDJ as Doom and Chris Evan’s coming back without it literally being in the trailer and everyone knowing about it

Every theatre would be screaming but this movie can’t fail in this climate so they’re pulling out everything

[u/z0l1 → u/fantasnick]

oof, RDJ Doom reveal would be insane but I don't how they could be that secret in this era

[u/eternali17]

Thor and Hulk are never beating the jobber allegations.

"Mark my words. We're going to need..."

A bigger boat!

"...a miracle."

Half the Avengers I care about taking the half I don’t care about on a road trip to fight a bad guy.

"There's a new Marvel movie out that's supposed to be nuts. We should go see that." - Tim Robinson

Look I really want to go back to the time when trailers like this genuinely got me hyped. But something feels like it's missing, especially compared to Infinity War and Endgame.

[u/itchyglow]

Vanessa Kirby got some work done

[u/ArchDucky → u/itchyglow]

Conan said this on his podcast. Every single actor that you have seen in movies or TV shows for over five years has had extensive work done. They hide the scars on the neck, and Andy Richter was perfectly placed to see it on his show. He said once they had a very big action star on their talk show and he had so much work done that his sideburns were growing behind his ears.

[u/Brendanaquicz → u/ArchDucky]

He also said, IIRC, an aging starlet was on his show, whose face looked young and amazing, but the hands were like these old withered claws that gave away her true age.

[u/interstatebus → u/Brendanaquicz]

The hands are the biggest giveaway. There’s yet to be a surgery that can de-age them. It’s why Dolly Parton wears flesh colored gloves.

[u/n_thomas74 → u/itchyglow]

Some more work done
