Comment on Shazam’ Star Zachary Levi Calls Out Hollywood For Output Of “Garbage” Content

I feel like you can't really watch trailers anymore nowadays, they tend to give away a lot of the story already. For example, I watched the trailer for the Meg 2 and it already gave away most of the twists and who would die. I know that they have to try and hype you up but it sucks when they basically spoil the movie.

Your opinion on trailers is nothing new and you’re not wrong. But then you went and chose MEG 2 as your example??? 🤔 Like that movie was an Agatha Christie mystery or something?! 🤣

  It was just an example, I could've used most other modern movies as an example as well. It's just the most recent movie I saw and it happens to be a guilty pleasure of my GF to watch shark movies (besides sharknado, that's just way too bad), before that I saw Oppenheimer and MI 7 so I'd like to think that my taste in movies is pretty varied.

    No, no, my apologies! I didn’t intend to imply anything. I just found the example you chose amusing!

This comment reminds me of right as I was about to watch The Meg, someone told me they were blown away by the twist. “Bro, wait for it, holy shit” and “the twist” was the most predictable thing that could have happened. The fucking shark died with most of the movie left to go, how is ANOTHER SHARK a fucking crazy twist??

Just to note, this is so not new that the original trailers for the original release of Planet of the Apes spoiled the ending way back in 1968. And here we are today…

I think it's more an American thing.

Look at the Arrietty Trailer:

On the opposite end, from watching the trailer I could not understand how Barbie was going to be as good as people said, it seemed so one note! I’m so glad it wasn’t all shown to me ahead of time

  I haven't seen the Barbie movie but I've heard more people say that the trailer is nothing like the movie. Interesting, maybe this will make film companies reconsider their trailer strategies.
