    As far as advertising goes, this is one of the best gimmicks I've seen. :D

    Forget Ant-Man, I can't believe Agent Carter is airing Tuesday, it seemed like just yesterday that the airdate felt an eternity away. I have not found a good way to keep time from flying away!

    The only thing I learned from this trailer is that a hot girl is going to fight a man in a fight club style boxing match (which she will either win or she;ll get her butt kicked). What this has to with the movie: probably very little. But a hot girl fighting.. that sells tickets.

    Do you know nothing about who the characters are supposed to be? Maybe you could avoid jumping to conclusions without any info.

    It's FSM and a Marvel movie. Did you honestly believe he/she would give it a fair chance? There's gold here, the chance yet again to go straight against what everyone else is doing, simply to be cool. If we had all judged this trailer as trash, he/she would be praising it to high heaven.

    Isn't that the point of speculating about a trailer on the internet? Trailers always feature a few random shots that, even taken out of context, are still inevitably interpreted by fans. So there is nothing unusual about what I did.. in fact, in this case, it's even more important. What else would be the point of releasing a trailer that's less than 20 seconds? Furthermore, this trailer has literally single shots that are all unrelated to each other - except for two shots (one following the other) of the hot female boxer... so my interpretation of the trailer (as it is) is completely valid.

    Don't diss me for no reason!

    We diss you for a reason, believe us.

    This teaser is in no way ment to tell us anything about the movie. Only to tease us for the trailer that's gonna tell us about the movie. Kinda obvious.

    I know of no point of speculating about a teaser of a teaser trailer with no context whatsoever. At least informed speculation would be more helpful.

    Knowing what we know, it looks to me like Hope Van Dyne is training Scott Lang. I could be wrong, but that seems to at least fit the information we have.

    The only point that this teaser serves is to let people know the actual teaser trailer will premier during Agent Carter, it has nothing to do with advertising the actual movie. If you watch at the end it says that you'll be able to see the trailer during the premier of Agent Carter, not when the movie is coming out.
    This has become a popular thing the last few years, but the only point they serve to is to let people know a trailer will be coming out soon.

    Then why don't they just show a title card that says "ANT-MAN TRAILER DURING AGENT CARTER"? I think they must choose images and scenes for some reason.

    Like the Ant-Sized first teaser for a teaser trailer we get an Ant Sized image of Ant-Man on the poster. LOL! Marvel marketing is trolling us and having a good time doing it!!:lol:
