Mar. 10th, 2021 05:38 amNot work-related, but I just spent some time catching up on the 'Falcon and Winter Soldier' trailers. Turns out tumblr had me covered and had already shared every clip I would have liked, so -- that sure is something?
I sort of figured the trailers would be fun, because if there is one thing I don't doubt, it's that MCU writers are capable of coming up with funny one-liners. (I'm not planning to watch the show, because one thing I *very much* doubt is that MCU writers are capable of creating the kind of consistent character growth and world building that fic has taught me to expect.)
Here's the thing, though: they were kind of fun? But kind of boring? It was only two minutes long, how could I be bored? But apparently the people who make trailers decided that what audiences would love was a bunch of swoopy flying and environmental destruction. With no talking! If it was fanfic, the swoopy flying while missiles destroyed scenery would definitely have included dialogue. Maybe even character development!
(And I mean, if it was fanfic maybe they would have a telepathic bond! Or animal transformation! Or accidental baby acquisition! Or they would be roommates! ((oh my god they would definitely be roommates)) I'm just saying, the longer the MCU goes on, the more shenanigans they have to do to pretend that all these people wouldn't have the MOST hilarious group chats, and the less any of the superheroics make sense to me.)
