Yeah the constant “tease” is getting annoying. Although to be fair, this movie is coming a week later than Infinity War did, so not having a trailer for another week would at least put it in the same pace as Infinity War, if you know what I mean. And marvel hasn’t given really any teases, it’s just fans over speculating, which is building the hype up to a place where it can’t possibly match expectations. I fear that A4 will be like TLJ - a good movie, but since it doesn’t meet crazy fan theories, hopes, etc. it will receive way too much hate.

You'd think they'd learn from TLJ that letting fans run wild with theories might lead to a mixed reaction. If they just released the trailer all the theories then have something to go off of. Or if you just released the title for the movie you can speculate on that.

But even Kevin Feige mentioned how the title might be underwhelming...gee ya think, there's several titles out there and it was originally just Infinity War Part 2.

I could see them going this route if it was called Infinity War Part 2...we know it's a continuation.

But since they 'claim' both are standalone films and they left the prior one on a cliff-hanger, and are introducing new characters like Captain Marvel into this one (another we've seen very little of) one starts to wonder if things aren't being rewritten behind the scenes.

While I see your points, I still am not sure enough to say that Marvel is making the wrong decisions in terms of marketing. What we do know is that:
  • The prelude comic won't have the name of the movie in it. It will just be Avengers 4 prelude.
    • Based on the first couple of panels that were released, it seems to just be a retelling of Infinity War, which is really underwhelming. I was kind of hoping to see what characters like Kraglin, Korg, General Ross, Ayesha, Valkyiere, etc. are doing during the snap.
  • Marvel has said in an interview that they are marketing this movie differently than any before. I think we won't get the title until Captain Marvel, and all marketing will be very minimal. Who knows tho? Only a hundred and something more days until release.

I always like to see the first trailer the most because it shows the visual style of the film. I'm curious how it will look, but if they're not going to show it yet, just say so, rather than keep teasing everyone with conflicting information (or no info at all).

It comes off as arrogant to me and not appreciative of a fanbase who enjoys the build-up to these films.

If they release it next week, or next month...they've kind of eroded my interest in checking every day. When it's posted everyone will know:p

Hosted by AceAstro, kmbmw777, and D Hindley

Overview
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is an Armchair Imagineering competition that began in 2013 on the wdwmagic forum hosted by jdmdisney99. Teams strive for victory in a series of unique Imagineering challenges. The losing team in most challenges enters the newly-rechristened “Cursed Courtroom.” In this room, nominated players from the losing team make their case for why they deserve to remain in the running for the ultimate prize of being named the next “Sorcerer’s Apprentice.”

Over the years, projects and storylines have combined to form the Sorcerer’s Apprentice Universe (the SAU). Teams have traveled across time and explored alternate Disney Park universes, all the while building friendships, attractions, even all new resorts!

But with Season 5: ENDGAME, an outside danger threatens to undo the entire Sorcerer’s Apprentice Universe! Can this next generation of Imagineers fight back?

Season 5 Official Teaser Trailer


Gameplay
Players will be divided into 3 different teams to start the competition. For each challenge, there will be a rotating Project Manager. The Project Manager can be used in any number of ways, anything from leading the project or simply acting as a supporting voice. It is entirely up to the player for that given round.

Once the projects are submitted, the hosts & judges will provide in-depth and helpful feedback to determine the rankings. The losing team’s Project Manager in most challenges will then nominate two (2) members to enter (along with him or herself) the “Cursed Courtroom” and make their case to the judges for remaining in the hunt. As the competition progresses, we will eventually reach the finalists who will face off in an epic finale to determine the next “Sorcerer’s Apprentice.”

Creative Challenges
As has become a Sorcerer’s Apprentice tradition, Season 5 will take us not only to Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, but also to various exotic and international Disney Parks and Resorts, plus a surprise or two along the way. Each challenge will be unique, something not seen in past competitions. Additionally, each challenge will be broad enough so that every teammate may contribute. There will beseveral different possibilities for each challenge!

Vacation Days
Despite our efforts to make each challenge as accessible to contestants as possible, sometimes unavoidable Real World™ obligations can get in the way. For those circumstances, there are Vacation Days.

These are granted to each team at the start of the competition to extend due dates and accommodate for personal schedule conflicts. These days can be used once per round, or you can combine Vacation Days with fellow teammates and extend the due date up to 3 days for a challenge. Only one team can use Vacation Days per challenge, and when a team uses Vacation Days, the due date is extended for all teams. The exact number of Vacation Days granted will be determined later.

More simply put: If you need more time, let us know.

What’s Changed?
Season 4 brilliantly resurrected Sorcerer’s Apprentice for a new generation. With Season 5, we wish to streamline and improve on a fantastic model.

As before, this season will include guest judges, an illustrated storyline, helpful hints for each round, and more. But the primary focus will remain on core gameplay, particularly on the wonderful group dynamics which can form after several challenges together. This game is not about creating drama or causing hardships, but about strengthening everyone’s creativity and camaraderie.

Social Media
Following in the hugely successful footsteps of Season 4, for this season we are fine-tuning our social media presence. Instagram will highlight player-created artwork from past and current seasons, as well as connect us with a larger follower base. Vimeo will contain a collection of our narrative videos for the season. YouTube will be the host of stanza playlists, possible review formatting, trivia and games, and more.

You can follow The Sorcerer’s Apprentice currently via Instagram, YouTube and Vimeo. Just click on the images below!
