Wow, I didn't expect to be doing this again so soon. Anyways, yeah the new trailer for Man of Steel is out much earlier than I expected so let's watch it and see what I think.
Alright we start with Clark lying down in water for some reason while a younger Clark is comforted by his mom. I know a lot of people complained about the teaser being more evocative of an Aquaman movie and quite frankly this trailer isn't helping with Ma Kent telling Clark to think of an ocean. We then see the aftermath of Clark saving a bus from falling into an ocean. Pa Kent tells Clark that he should keep his powers a secret. When Clark asks if he should have let them die, Pa Kent responds maybe. Wow. Pa Kent you are a dick. We get a nice shot of Clark in the Fortress of Solitude as he finally dons the cape and takes off. We get our usual high paced adrenaline ending but this one is more somber. We see images of Metropolis being destroyed, Superman's parents embracing him, our first look at General Zod, and more action pieces. The trailer ends with Superman saying that Dick Kent (that's his name now) thought the world would reject him and that we wouldn't be ready for this. As Superman asks Lois Lane what she thinks the trailer closes.
This is not exactly what I had in mind for the next Man of Steel trailer. I know Warner Bros. is taking a darker approach but this is freaking Superman. If you want dark go with Batman. I'm not saying I oppose a darker and edgier Superman, just give me some optimism dammit.
While I am excited for this film, this trailer isn't making me any more excited than I already was. Let's hope as we get closer that things will brighten up.
