> Or, how awesome would it have been if our very first introduction to Sarah in this movie was when she pulled a half-donut in the semi cab, swung open the door, and said, “Come with me if you want to live.” But the trailer ruined that moment, and the several minutes with her in the movie would have ruined it if the trailer hadn’t.

This is why I hardly watch trailers any more. They’re hard to avoid in actual theaters, but I don’t get all the clamor to see newly released trailers for movies you’re already planning to see.

The goal of a trailer is to get you to pay for the movie. The goal of the movie is to tell a story. The person putting the trailer together doesn’t give a shit if the story is ruined as long as you paid to see it.
