Imagining a TV trailer for Empire Strikes Back that just splices in "Luke, I am your father" in the middle of other attention-grabbing "thrill to..." scenes

yeah decent trailer. i don't like the music but i needed a bit of a 'what was happening in this show again' and now I remember.

I liked season 1 of this. It wasn't amazing but it was more than enough of a cool fantasy adventure for me to enjoy so I'll be back just to see what places they go next.

Not a fan of rand's buzz cut though. Makes him look too much like an everyday modern guy, but it looks like it is here to stay cos he has it in every single shot.

Rand needs a soul patch to complete that 00's douchebag default protagonist look.

You think that's crazy, you should check out the old trailer for The Godfather.

It's mostly a bunch of still shots of the entire movie. Major character deaths are shown. It's wild how much they used to show in trailers.

Granted, it's based on what was an extremely popular book at the time. But still, plenty of people seeing the movie wouldn't have read the book, so showing the death of Sonny, or literally Moe Green dying from being shot in the eye, in the trailer is a choice.

Yeah, back in the day it was common for a trailer to just be a two minute synopsis of the movie, possibly with a narrator being "See the shocking twist as...."

Well, I am absolutely hype for the next season. I've never read the series, so I know nothing, but I just kept thinking, "Pretty images and awesome action. That's enough for me."

As for the song, I love Halsey's Control. The slowed-down version in the promo is okay, but I love the original more.
