At the Movies!

[ZpaceJ0ck0]

We judged a movie on the cast and two trailers, and becuse it didn't have the best jokes in the movie, we deemed it bad months ago. Now we are being proven wrong. What a shock.

Uh? What are you even talking about? No one judge the movie because of the cast, they judge the movie because the trailer sucked and made the movie look stupid.

EDIT: did you even read the comments of the reddit thread? Like i said, they downvoted it into obvlivion.....

And the reason of why Ashley Lynch took the reddit screenshot despite the fact that the thread was submitted one minute ago with zero comments was because she wanted to make the Ghostbusters fanbase look like the bad guys, and THAT'S what the marketing of the movie was based on: make the fanbase look like mysogynists just because they didn't like a trailer of a all-female reboot.

In other words, Sony (or better say, the director of the film) should have reacted like this: "I understand people, but I don't control the marketing, I believe in the film, and I promise it's very different from what we see in the trailer."

But instead we got: "No the trailer doesn't suck, YOU SUCK."

This antagonism has kind of been weaved throughout all of Sony's interactions with fans, and it's been really disappointing to feel like alienating people who don't like the trailer is really the angle they have felt was the "winning"-side.

There hasn't really been an attempt to win over people that have been really disappointed by the marketing material, no attempt to say, "It's different from this, we promise, it's going to be great."
