At the Movies!

[gamemaster1991]

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."

No I read and I understood. The point I was making was for the people like me who didn't care about the cast being all female and seeing what they were going to do with the trailer. I've heard more people say that it sucked because it "wasn't very funny" i.e. didn't show any of the funny jokes. I was waiting for the movie to come out because I believe that (despite one of the actresses) the movie could be very funny.

Over all the point is that everyone pays way to much atition to the trailers. People saw Avatar and said "That shows too much, but it still looks good," but turned out pretty bad. While people saw Ghostbusters (which tried to show very little) and said "That going to suck," but now seem to like it. I know that when the Power Rangers trailer comes out, I'm going to bitch and moan, but I'm going to give it a shot because I love Power Rangers and a trailer is just going to show off what the makers want to.
