Regarding this Doomsday "four teaser trailer" rumor
I'm no marketing guru, but does anyone else feel like Disney doesn't need to go to the extent of producing four separate teasers for *Avengers: Doomsday* at this point?
*Robert Downey Jr--the face of the MCU for 10 years--is back and playing* ***Doctor Doom***.
*The Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four will meet on screen for the first time ever.*
*It's the first Avengers movie since the record-breaking Avengers: Endgame.*
Forgive any ignorance here but...**how is that not enough?** How is that not a strong enough pitch for the audience at this stage of production? Why do we need four different trailers **right now** to sell that?
Would Disney honestly think people will skip this movie unless we all go see *Avatar 3* four times to see four minutes of *Doomsday* footage **a whole year** before it comes out?
*Zootopia 2* just made a **billion** dollars. I think it's safe to say that *Avengers: Doomsday* would be just fine without a bizarre, desperate and needlessly expensive marketing gimmick.
This feels less like genuine "hype" and more like desperation, corporate greed, and instant gratification and spoiler culture taking over and killing people's ability to anticipate something without being given half of it first.

And that works. They need you to talk about it. And not just you talking about it.
And it's not like Doomsday is going to be a commonplace movie, with commonplace marketing. I don't know why you seem so bothered by this, honestly. I think you're getting very worked up by something you know nothing about, and should wait to see how it pans out before criticising it to high heaven - but that's not the Reddit way, eh?
First trailer will be out in less than a week, but you couldn't even wait that long to try and act like you know more than the Marvel Studios marketing department lol. If the trailers get views and the movie makes money, what even else matters?
As for Marvel having a spotty box office record recently, sure - but I hardly think that anyone on Reddit will have any insight as to how to do better (that includes you). People aren't being defensive, they're clowning you for acting like you know what you're on about. These trailers haven't even happened yet, and you're already throwing criticism at the idea - that's just sad. If it happens and doesn't work, have at it - until then, just take a few deep breaths and touch some grass. Bye.
You're obviously getting very worked up about this, so maybe log off and go outside. For the last time, bye.
Plus, this is to supplement Fire and Ash’s pretty terrible and lackluster marketing thus far.
At this stage, Marvel has done well in pandering to nostalgia, and Iron Man is nearly 20 years old, which means it's prime to grab that demographic. Just gotta remind people of such.
One good trailer is good for what, a day? Four trailers over four weeks? That's way more time in the spotlight and more chances to reach those who have fallen off the Marvel bandwagon.
I think four trailers like this are a good idea, as someone who works in marketing consultation. If this is the way Disney wants to build hype, it's worth a try.
"Just shut up and consume content". That's not how public discourse works, sorry.
I'm of the belief that the first act is just the different groups getting their asses handed to them by Doom.
Avengers, New Avengers, Thunderbolts, FF, X-Men, and maybe even some non-main characters related to the Guardians. Then the remaining pieces of each group have to come together to handle Doom.
Four trailers fits into this, if each trailer focuses on one of the main groups that Doom fights.
If you want to find a problem, I'd say that this strategy shows they feel like they need to bolster the Avatar numbers, not the MCU's numbers.
I don’t know anything about their teaser strategy but people are kidding themselves if they think Marvel just shouting “Avengers, Assemble!” is enough to get people in the seats again.
