> [@Dr\_Doom](#): > > Well, almost completely. I was really hoping for a new Guardians of the Galaxy trailer. Ah well. That actually perplexed me. Marvel has been doing so well in other areas, cross-promoting their movies. Yet the Marvel trailers shown before the latest Marvel movie are always the same trailers that’ve been available online and preceeding other movies for months. Their target audience is_in that theatre_! It is the optimum time to convince those people they need to see the next Marvel movie, too. Why wouldn’t Marvel make a new trailer specifically to go with the latest release? They’re already making a half-dozen or more targeted trailers; one more would be cake. ---

Why wouldn’t Marvel make a new trailer specifically to go with the latest release? They’re already making a half-dozen or more targeted trailers; one more would be cake. True, but how many people who go to see WS and enjoy it are gonna give Guardians a miss? It’s kind of a shoe-in candidate. Hell, they might not even need to make any trailers for _Avengers 2._ 😃 ---

> [@YogSosoth](#): > > Wait, what does the Pentagon care about a fictional secret agency deciding to launch a nuke? I know they don’t like the military portrayed in a negative light or falsely in movies, but SHIELD doesn’t exist As a former employee, I can tell you that the DoD isn’t down with films that don’t contain an abundance of ass-kissing falsehoods. That’s why you won’t see a realistic Delta Force or Navy SEAL film anytime soon. But it **is** why you’ll see Michael Bay’s tired flag-waving bullshit again soon at a theater near you…. ---

And you don’t consider Zero Dark Thirty a realistic portrayal of the SEALs? ---

Just checking IMDB. _Captain America 2_ is the tenth movie Evans has made that’s based on a comic book. ---

How do you know he was fake? For all we know (and the movie shows) NYPD is solidly infested by HYDRA. It would explain a lot. ---
