I mean, it is kinda odd that they are already doing promo for Doomsday and not for BND, even though that will released sooner.
Ok, technically we had the suit reveal promo. But still.
 
I saw the Steve Rogers Doomsday teaser, and not only does it end with Steve Rogers will return, but it also specifically shows him packing up his Captain America uniform.
And thinking about it some more, bring Steve back but emphasizing that he's not Captain America any more, and showing him backing up Sam as Cap, could actually help cement Sam in the role. Like maybe we could have a scene where someone tries to hand Steve the shield, and he says "no, that's not mine" and then tosses it to Sam.
 
Oh trust me, we in Europe do not underestimate it. We're about 5-7 years behind you when it comes to extreme right winged morons. They are gaining ground, the views on immigrants is becoming harsher every day. You can't bring up a subject or people are blaming the asylum policies of the left as the fault for it. I'm Dutch, and the Netherlands was once a great country for the LGBTQ+ community, now things feel a lot more hostile. I know people who support think Trump is a great man. Again, I'm Dutch..... :(
One of the things that I hear more and more here is 'we're slowly turning into America'.
In my country, there are quite a few Trump supporters; in fact, a friend I corresponded with online initially supported Trump simply because he believed the Woke movement—films, shows, and games—was harmful. Then, seeing that Trump and his supporters were harming the anti-Woke movement and taking it to a point he never wanted, and because it was politically damaging to Turkey, he came to hate Trump. As I talked to him and another friend I corresponded with online, his anti-Woke rhetoric decreased. Besides that, seeing the current state of American politics, other people in Turkey started saying that America has become a smaller version of Turkey. Also, in our country, LGBT people have never been accepted by the public.

I would be willing to bet that your friend couldn't even give an accurate description of what "woke" means. No one here in America can.

Originally, when it was first used decades ago, it was African-American vernacular for "awake," used in the context of being alert to social injustice, aware of problems and threats facing the community, and politically active in trying to address them. It came back into usage among progressives a while back, and then conservatives did what they usually do, which is to co-opt a term and twist it into a pejorative buzzword for anything they dislike until it's deprived of all meaning.

In short, "woke" just means awake and aware of reality, which makes it anathema to people whose political power is predicated on lies. The fact that it comes from Black vernacular is probably another reason they hate it.

Now I can follow what everyone has been talking about. I'm surprised there isn't more fanfare around it. Did the leak put a damper on things?
Even if Brave New World had been a box office smash I have no doubt that Steve would have returned.
 
There’s also supposedly 2 more of these vignettes (?) and then an actual teaser releasing over the coming weeks
From what I know, there will be another teaser featuring Thor. Besides that, there were rumors that teasers for the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Thunderbolts would also be released. Now, it seems like a second teaser for Thor is coming. Also, a photo supposedly from the second teaser was shown on Twitter a few days ago, but the account that shared it was later closed. The photo featured Thor and the character Love. Apart from these, the videos will generally feature actors who haven't been previously announced as being in the film. I wouldn't be surprised if the third video features Wolverine, X-23, and Deadpool.
