Lotta hype about a proper looking Mystique in that trailer.

Captain America got his ending.
Iron Man got his ending.
The X-Men are geriatric.
The multiverse thing is a trainwreck.

Their attempts at creating the next generation failed because Disney is mostly broken.

So they fell back on their usual soulless tactic of bringing old characters back. That does work to some degree, but they can't keep it up forever, right?

It felt super tired and there was not a moment of surprise in it. There were a couple of good moments, Doom looks good, Cyclops, etc but overall im not feeling it so far.

Same happens with the new Spidey movie, im just not in the mood for it and there is nothing there that grabs me so far.

I don't really love it that much, I was just fucking around.

What I'd really have liked from this trailer is some clue as to a plot. I read comics fairly regularly, but have never really gotten into a Doom plotline, so I don't know why Dr. Doom is so scary and dangerous. This trailer should have provided more reason for everyone to be fighting him. This trailer is only going to get you amped if you were already like "Fuck yeah, Doom!!"

At least I know why I should care about Spider-Man's troubles.

Honestly, I blame Jonathan Majors.

If you're not keen on this movie, thank Bob Iger.

"Bob Iger’s strategy of shifting Disney toward "guaranteed hits" centers on a "quality over quantity" approach. This strategy involves trimming the Marvel Studios and Disney+ release pipelines to avoid over-saturation and focusing heavily on proven, highly anticipated franchise sequels like Avengers, Avatar, and Toy Story.

Under this mandate, Iger has actively reduced the volume of Marvel content to about two shows and three movies a year to ensure closer executive supervision. Rather than relying on constant expansion and unproven IP, Disney's box office strategy has increasingly pivoted toward bankable blockbusters with massive built-in audiences to minimize financial risk"

Dr Doom is very smart and a master of science(interchangeable with magic given the Thor description of science and magic being one and the same), so he essentially figures out how powers work to harness them. Kang is described much the same way. Without knowing motivation it’s hard to say what’s he’s doing, but as an adversary he’s innately scary.

I wonder how much of Kang's story they shifted over to Doom.

Now imagine Dr Doom is a clone of Tony Stark because Nikola Tesla actually built a cloning machine
