Then you’re just not a fan of Superman because this tone is exactly what the comics are.

The tone is fine. The rest of it just looks like fricking shite. But feel free to stick your head in the sand about something that looks like it was made by AI

Feel like there is a mismatch between the tone, the music and what was on the screen. Just a weird teaser honestly. It's not Gardner's hair - that costume looked terrible. CGI was bad - they need some time on it. Krypton was fine. Nothing wrong with that.

Finally someone with a brain

Hoult is going to crush as Lex. He was awesome in The Order.

The whole tone of that trailer seems off though, like it doesn’t know what kind of movie it wants to be. I also thought I was watching a Top Gun trailer at first with the music Do like the hint of the old theme though.

It did feel like a CW trailer with a Netflix budget. Didn’t have the feel of a Marvel blockbuster or big summer movie..at all. With that being said, I’ll give Gunn the benefit of the doubt because he has mostly knocked everything out of the park. Peacemaker has no right to be as great of a show as it is.

I think a lot of people have been poorly conditioned to think that dark tones and lighting means it is prestige product and some of the reaction here is just pure culture shock at a movie willing to put vibrant colors on screen

I think the reason CW is mentioned is because they still use set lighting and bright colors on their superhero shows and treat it as a television product vs most shows these days try to package themselves as a blockbuster movie in 8 part segments


This trailer seems jarring because comic book movies have gotten increasingly visually duller over the last two decades and why each passing movie seems to be less memorable than the last. DC did this intentionally, while marvel created this template over time that was supposed to give the appears of style and craft, but ultimately was just a cookie cutter cgi template that they used 15 times across 10 characters no one likes that much


Definitely a lot of stuff in there I’d be concerned with in terms of a Superman movie, but I think it’s distinct visual style is one of the more promising of the trailer

Nah. I think people are trending away from liking darker tone moves. This is an over correction. The color saturation makes everything look like it’s a video game CG cut scene and not a big time blockbuster.

In other words, it looks like shite

100% this. Braindead reaction to this so far.

RIP MCU

All hail the arrival of the DCU

unfortunately the MCU has been dead for a while.

So, that's not a very favorable comparison.

I liked it - I appreciate the different approach compared to the other movies.

Hey Superman, your hair bussin’ fr fr no cap.
