There is and I am shocked to admit that I want to see it!! It both looks just like transformers and at the same time, nothing at all like !!!!!!!!TRANSFORMERS!!!!!!!

Yeah, and judging by the trailer it looks... kind of great?

It's much smaller in scope, and directed by Travis Knight from Laika Animation- he's the guy that did Kubo and the Two Strings.

The trailer dropped last night and reminds me of The Iron Giant or How to Train Your Dragon, in a very good way.

The only thing that I am unsure of, is if they are gonna try and make me cry... I am about 90% sure they are going to mess with my emotions and I don't like it.

So many of the fun parts of Thor:Ragnorak were spoiled by the trailers that I avoid all trailers now, especially for comedies. Once you experience a joke, it severely impinges on its impact the next time you experience it.

Happened to me for Civil War. I knew a plot twist was coming at the end because the scene from the trailer featuring Cap and Bucky fighting Iron Man hadn’t happened yet.

After we saw Ragnarok in theaters, my friend pointed out that if it wasn’t for the marketing, you really wouldn’t know that the Grandmaster’s prized contender was the Hulk. He doesn’t show up until about a third of the way into the movie, but the trailers let everyone in on the secret. Amazing Spider-Man 2 was even worse with spoiling everyone.

Infinity War and Deadpool 2, on the other hand, were pretty good about playing it coy (lots of fake scenes/missing effects).

On the other hand, I never would have bothered going to see Ragnarok if I didn't know beforehand that it was a partial adaptation of Planet Hulk. Those Hulk/Thor trailers were great, and were probably a big part of the reason the movie far outgrossed the other Thor movies.

I do have to agree with you; it’s probably the best case of a major spoiler actually helping the movie being promoted.

I just rewatched the trailers for Winter Soldier, and Bucky’s face is either blurry or masked during his scenes, and the major Hydra reveal stayed hidden. Iron Man 3 and Black Panther both hid their major villain reveals (Killmonter seemed set up as the smaller villain), and Infinity War majorly overplayed the roles of Cap, Natasha, and T’Challa, while Strange was featured a bit less.
But in all cases, I at least felt like I had some idea of what the movie was about. The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi gave even less info. Ditto with this WIR trailer. I’m just curious to see what direction the next trailer goes in.

I just realized that the reviews are coming out really early?? Like, this doesn’t come out in America for another 2 1/2 weeks, right? Is it coming out earlier in another country?

Why do I feel like this was stealth announced?

I also noticed it pretty much has the same joke as WiR2. Looks good though. Loved the first one.

I would have expected more fanfare for this trailer being dropped, especially after how good the first one was (ditto with Lego Batman, never saw Ninjago)

I didn't even know they were considering a second one. The first was one of those surprise "oh wow this is really good" Redbox rentals back when it first came out. Cool!

What a strange week we're having when the Wreck it Ralph 2 trailer makes the movie out to be pan-corporate trash and the new Transformers trailer looks wonderful.

Transformers trailers have always been good. Whoever cuts them does a really great job. A podcast group I listen to always lament that they've been tricked far too many times by those trailers.

Mantis is the only one in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie that had very extensive prosthetics on her face that might effect her ability to talk like Killer Croc that won an Oscar for makeup and was also on screen for a long time. They might not have wanted to affect their lead actor's ability to act much, make him sit for long periods of time putting makeup on, to have people compare the makeup and prosthetics he might have worn in the movie to makeup and prosthetics they might give an actor playing Beast in a theatrical production that is similar to the movie or who might appear in the park, and they might want to also improve the ability of the animation companies they use to create things like this.

Nebula -
I can’t find a video for Mantis, but I don’t think she had the facial prosthesis like Nebula.

Speaking of controversial people, where did the Spirit fly off to? It looks like his last post was in December 2017. What did I miss?

He comes around every now and then, reads what's happening and decides 'Nah, not worth it.'

I have been bemused by people who think -- and have stated -- that I am not posting because Disney came after me (they didn't) or because my family doesn't want me posting (you don't know my family, so please leave them out). I just don't have a passion for going back and forth with people who have a seemingly endless supply of time to pick wings off of flies.

As you can tell by what has been going on in the real world, the fan community is immensely fractured. And the people who grew up on the Disney of the 50s-90s are not ever going to see the world through the people who love the 21st century Walmarted (God, it's been a long time since I got to use that) version of what Disney has become. Many of us are just as disgusted by what America has become. And things are very intertwined.

But for those who have sent notes, especially the last three months or so, that have gone unanswered, I am fine and I am happy and I am busy and that is really that. I am working on a project that likely will interest some of you, but I won't be unwrapping that for the masses for quite some time.

Some of asked me to start a Tweeter and, nope, not happening. That world makes this one seem totally sane. And I also don't look as good in a bathing suit as Ashley does!

I am sorta shocked to see this thread is still going. Not shocked that it basically is a Star Wars and Marvel one, largely. If that's your idea of Disney, then we aren't going to ever agree (doesn't mean you are a lesser person for enjoying that stuff, I did love Deadpool 2).

This thread started with my thoughts on TDR and SDL and how they both present a polar opposite view of what a Disney theme park is. And that hasn't changed.

I consider this my online home and most of the people here to be 'friends' and hope everyone is well.

Oh, and yes, I still hate Robert A. Iger with a burning passion that could only burn deeper if it were the Star Wars franchise in China!
