Sure, but I wasn't wrong. Regardless of whether this "Final Trailer" was produced in-house by Disney or contracted out, there was pretty much zero chance a movie starring three women accidentally began with 20 seconds of mostly male voices and faces, including two major franchise characters who aren't in the movie, and to suggest otherwise is absurd.
Anyhow, I watched the trailer. So, according to this movie, Monica Rambeau, despite being a former Air Force captain who’s had superpowers for at least a year or two, when seeing a girl about to fall to her death while she herself is safely on the ground, stammers, hesitates, and is reluctant to attempt a save until Fury yells “Black Girl Magic!” at her?
Doesn’t seem very character-appropriate or inspirational to moi. Anyone else remember how audiences fell for Cap because he always tried to save people, no matter the personal risk, even before he graduated basic training? Remember when he instinctively jumped on that grenade the general tossed? (And how much better would that moment have been if Peggy had exclaimed aloud "skinny short boys get it done!")
If the movie does bomb, due in large part to adult male audiences not showing up, it'll no doubt be because toxic male YouTubers activated their inner racists. It won't have anything to do with the fact that the movie's Final Trailer, in its final moment, decided to tell them that the movie seems to value cheap gag lines over depicting military veteran characters as capable and brave. Nope, that wouldn't be a factor at all...
