I have never quit while watching a trailer. But with that one, I couldn't even make it a minute before I said "Nah", and closed the tab. It was just so bland and I don't know who Kraven is, but it didn't make me want to know either. :shrug:

I know that generally people have no faith whatsoever in D&D but I'm very excited for this. The end of GoT left such a bad taste in most people's minds that they forget D&D turned in at least 3 great seasons of television when they had something to adapt and even when they didn't a couple turned out pretty good (Season 6 comes to mind).

The quality of the first 3-4 seasons of GoT rested more on the immense talent of everyone involved behind the scenes except D&D. Having material to adapt kept their bad instincts from screwing up the show but by season 4 they had enough clout to start overruling people and insisting their great ideas should carry the day.

The whole 3 Body series will require a stupid massive budget to complete so just like how I'm glad Apple is pumping money into a Foundation series I am happy Netflix is pumping money into this one. While the streamers still live I'm glad to watch them use hundreds of millions of dollars to adapt great sci-fi series.

The 3BP series is very, um, let's say inconsistent. The best possible way forward would be to keep a lot of the big swing high concept sci-fi stuff and put some new spins on it, because trying to do a 1:1 adaptation is going to result in a lot of bad TV no matter how much they pump into the budget.

I mean, based on the trailer, all I can really guess is aliens? But I'm guessing I'm either wrong, or there's more to it than that.

It's not giving me much to go on other than that. The visuals look like pretty nonsense. I'm guessing because there's a VR world or something? Otherwise I don't know how a church on a lava hellscape enters into an alien story.

I mean, this isn’t that far off the mark. Maybe it is a well communicated trailer?

I started rewatching GoT recently and got about halfway into season 1 before just petering out and losing interest. The production design is fantastic and Sean Bean and Mark Addy are outstanding but otherwise it is kind of rough imo. So many terrible performances. Every scene with Kit Harrington or Aiden Gillen is hard to get through. Sucks because I remember Gillen being great on the Wire.

As someone who is burnt out on superhero films and knows almost nothing about what the character is supposed to be in the comics, this looks like an entertaining action movie to me.

Looks like it has a significant amount of practical stunt work.

I'm glad I'm not the only person to feel this way. I'm sure he's a nice dude or whatever but to me, he is the most boring bland thing since Sam Worthington. I feel like the mid-2000s was cranking out a ton of "generic white male pseudo-action star" types of actors that were all more bland than bleached white bread. ATJ feels like a continuation of that.

I used to call Jai Courtney "The Poor Man's Sam Worthington", but Sam Worthington has now taken that title himself.

He was pretty good in Bullet Train, so maybe he just needs to be play incredibly sweaty, skeevy hitman types. Probably the most i've been interested in seeing him on a screen anyways.

Oh, is that movie good? I never saw it, I just remember it because, based on the trailer alone that made it seem like a standard romcom, I thought it should have been called, "30-Love".

These are the things that made me laugh back when I was (looks up the year it came out)...21? drat, I should have been able to come up with better at that point.

Yeah, the problem isn't these actors, it's the concept of beefy perfect cool collected leading man. So few can bring enough to the table to make it work like the stars of the 80s and 90s, even if they've got some actual acting chops. Jeremy Renner is impossibly boring as a leading man, but when he plays a creep in Assassination of Jesse James you're glued to the screen. You can put together a laundry list of the Charlie Hunnams and Jai Courtneys of the world and you'll probably find at least one role where they play an engaging weirdo that charms you.
