It says video, establishing it's a video store. I thought it was a pretty well known fact that all video rental stores were either dying or dead.

I would assume. They probably didn’t have good cgi shots of that done yet. It’s one of her major powers.

It's frustrating how much Disney hate money that they wouldn't make more of an effort with the trailer. The production value on the movie seems great, though, looks expensive as hell.

I noted over in CineD that I think this trailer was mainly meant for normal people, who have never heard of Captain Marvel. "This is who she is, this is the basics of her story, here's what the plot is going to involve" is all I think a first trailer needs to do, while including a few little bits for the comic nerds.

It’s an initial teaser trailer for a movie that comes out in 6 months and probably doesn’t have a lot of its CGI done. Probably done to bridge the gap because Marvel doesn’t usually have this long between films.

And to be honest, I thought the trailer hit the character beats really well. The images of Carol falling down throughout her life and then getting up every time set the stage for her character really well.

What I really hate about it is that the frantic editing is made worse by those one-second clips that literally only exist for YouTubers and websites to pause and play back frame by frame, because it's impossible to see just watching the trailer.

I wasn't even able to pause at those scenes without having to go back to them.

I can't help but think that they're doing the Secret Invasion Mar-Vell storyline, but with Carol. She is in fact a Skrull sleeper agent sent to conquer Earth and the drama comes from how she deals with that.

That could jibe with what we see in the trailer. I'd be okay with it.
