So, about that trailer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s a combo of my train of thought as I first watched the trailer along with commentary after repeated viewings.<\/p>\n

Opening shot: Fortress of Solitude?\u00a0 Crashing through the ice to enter?\u00a0 NO HE’S HURT WTF!<\/p>\n

Seeing Superman that injured always gets me.<\/p>\n

Oh, hi Clark.<\/p>\n

Music riff starts: Is this… a rock version of Williams’ theme?\u00a0 Whoa.<\/p>\n

I still gotta watch The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Farm.\u00a0 Cows.\u00a0 Pa Kent.\u00a0 Cool.\u00a0 Hope he doesn’t die in this one.<\/p>\n

He’s whistling.\u00a0 For his dog, right?<\/p>\n

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG<\/p>\n

KRYPTO OMG IT’S KRYPTO HE’S LICKING HIS FACE LIKE HE WANTS TO PLAY<\/p>\n

This is when my eyes started leaking, when Superman said, “Home.\u00a0 Take me home.”<\/p>\n

And then the shot that gets me every time I watch this trailer (lost count).\u00a0 Saving the little girl from those orange canisters.<\/p>\n

Lex!\u00a0 He looks like a comic book Lex.<\/p>\n

LuthorCorp instead of LexCorp.\u00a0 Hmph.<\/p>\n

Why is Superman in a box?<\/p>\n

And the other shot that got me: the little brown kid raising a Superman flag and saying his name, which brought me back to me, at that age, and believing that Superman was real.<\/p>\n

Uh oh.\u00a0 Superman haters.\u00a0 OH LIKE THAT CAN IS GONNA AFFECT HIM, PAL!<\/p>\n

That is a shot of Superman feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders.<\/p>\n

As much as I wish he was Hal, I’m glad Fillion is in this as Guy.\u00a0 I wonder if we’ll hear him say the oath?\u00a0 Probably not.<\/p>\n

Hawkgirl looks perfect.<\/p>\n

So this is the baby kaiju that Gunn had mentioned back in October.\u00a0 THAT’S A BABY?!?!<\/p>\n

Does Lois know Clark is Superman in this one?<\/p>\n

That looks like a Fortress robot, or maybe even Kelex?<\/p>\n

Didn’t realize Wrinkles was Metamorpho.\u00a0 Some thought it was Brainiac.<\/p>\n

Lex looks evil and angry in that shot.\u00a0 Have a Snickers?<\/p>\n

Imma totally lose it over Krypto in this movie, aren’t I?\u00a0 The bestest good boy.<\/p>\n

That black clad figure is supposed to be Ultraman from Earth-3, right?<\/p>\n

Dev, shouldn’t you be on Mars?<\/p>\n

Are those LuthorBots?<\/p>\n

Lois *hugs* Superman, so maybe she doesn’t know?<\/p>\n

July 11th: KRYPTO: THE MOVIE featuring Kal-El.<\/p>\n

I’m more optimistic about this movie than I was a week ago, and I was already hyped up already.<\/p>\n

I mentioned elsewhere that while James Gunn has a stellar track record when it comes to comic book movie content, I still ding him for the very poor Adam Warlock that he gave us in Guardians Vol. 3.<\/p>\n

So even if Guy Gardner turns out to be this movie’s Warlock, there’s still enough here (OMG KRYPTO) that will compensate for that, much like how the rest of GotGv3 overshadowed Warlock.<\/p>\n

As for what’s next, I will be very surprised\u00a0 if we don’t get a Super Bowl trailer for this movie.\u00a0 Though maybe a month and a half would be too soon for another.<\/p>\n

So which movie will I see more times in the theatre in 2025, this or The Fantastic Four<\/em> (which should also have a Super Bowl trailer)?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
