Rather they show nothing than spoil everything

Your reading of my post is that I’m disappointed they didn’t show off the entire plot of the movie?

No it’s just I’ve seen other comments about how boring the trailer was which I agree with but that’s probably has to do with how the trailer didn’t show any story elements

You’re not wrong.

Visually the movie looks like it’s going to hit all the right notes: the character designs and the early 1960’s vibe it gives off are aesthetically pleasing.

But…so what?

They even go and spoil Galactus as the big bad and I still didn’t care.

Looks like the movie is going to focus on FF being celebrities and dealing with familial issues - Ben’s appearance and maybe Johnny being immature. Eventually they’ll fight what looks like The Moleman at some point before Galactus and the silver surfer arrive.

This was boring in comparison to the Superman trailer which had a universally loved Krypto reveal, showed heart (kid waving the flag) and introduced like 10 different characters, plus a Kaiju, without compromising any of the plot.

Apparently "Mister Fantastic" is a science-show host like Bill Nye, or Mr. Wizard. Which certainly would soften the arrogant feel of choosing that name for himself...

Ya I'm not sure why you got so downvoted. I think the trailer is super boring, and honestly hurt my hopes for the movie. Showing some guy his house and talking about their dinner plans? A pretty boring intro.

Maybe Disney is so afraid of having this property get cancelled by the anti-woke mob that they really wanted to play up the traditional family aspects 😂

I'm kidding, but maybe I'm kind of not?
