Destiny of X Trailer

[LordUltimus]

Deadpool looks so scared.

Aside from the start of the trailer with the scene between Destiny and Sinister, it felt kinda underwhelming. All it really gave us was covers and titles with their creative teams. Maybe it would’ve looked a bit more interesting if they gave us some internal scenes showing us the variety of what’s going on through the books even if they don’t show them all.

[Rift]

Rogue's fed up with her lack of screentime & pulled out a gun.

A fine trainer, but it's like whatever. Nothing particularly interesting or new. This would have been the perfect opportunity to throw in some curveballs, like revealing a Hellion ongoing.

[BobbysWorld]

Yeah they basically just animated a bunch of promo materials they've already shown elsewhere. An actual twist to get excited about would be like, surprise, you don't actually have to wait a whole other month still before any of this matters, we decided we jumped the gun and put way too much lead time between Inferno and all of this stuff so we moved up the timetable lol.

Or that Hellion ongoing, obviously.

(Or like could somebody please drop even a HINT about Bobby's future since we at least keep being told he's supposedly doing SOMETHING but nothing about what it is or even where.)

Meh… underwhelming trailer. And no image of Cable in X-men Red yet, which is disappointing.

Anna's got a gun.... Anna's got a gun....

Anyways, that bit at the beginning looked fun at least.

[Souther]

That Mr. Sinister scene makes me curious about what the hell they were talking about, but in a good way.

Anna's got a gun.... Anna's got a gun....

Anyways, that bit at the beginning looked fun at least.

Love to know what she even needs a gun for. With Wonder Man’s powers she can do more damage just throwing the gun itself at someone than the bullet would do.

[Wat]

Huh. What a curious trailer which reveals nothing about what the heck is it all about except for enumerating all the ongoing titles. Guess even they are not sure what exactly the destiny of X is now that Hickman has left.

[BobbysWorld]

Yes, that's the clear takeaway. Only Hickman has any ideas ever and without his greatness overseeing the line, every other X-writer is like what do we do now guys.

This is definitely an indication that none of the X-writers have any creativity whatsoever rather than just being....an extremely lackluster promo overseen by Marvel's marketing department and not any of the actual writers themselves.

LOL.

[Wat]

Guess they shouldn't then have made such a generic trailer which shows nothing about any greater narrative that actually justifies the title and make the writers look like chumps who are just churning out the books under whatever new heading/collective they are presented with not bothering whether there is some actual storyline that adheres to the title. Inferno would be a prime example of the title making little sense with regard to the storyline told in it. The title should have been revised once it became clear Hickman wasn't torching Krakoa and restoring the status quo but they went with it anyway and that looks like it's going to happen once again here where Destiny looks like she is going to be the smith crafting a new destiny for the X men with her books playing an important part but the trailer makes none of that clear making the X department look like direction less clowns.

[BobbysWorld]

I mean, I'm agreeing that I think it was a shitty, lackluster trailer that didn't do much to stir up interest. I just think drawing conclusions past that based on what little it actually did or didn't contain is more an exercise in projection than anything else. *Shrugs*

Not to be a pen is just a pen but sometimes a poor promo is just proof that the guys in charge of promo aren't all that good at it.

[PolarIceFire]

... a poor promo is just proof that the guys in charge of promo aren't all that good at it.

Or that they weren't inspired enough to care?

But to be fair...



I'd figure each title teased, will get their own, individual X-Men/ToM/Inferno-like trailer, eventually.

[cranger]

If they were going to copy 'the scene' they should at least have the confidence to proclaim it the most important scene in X-Men history.

Might have done better to just put more focus on those alternate paths than some of the other stuff towards the end because I think the former is what is more marketable.

[Dipter]

Or that they weren't inspired enough to care?

Or they're given a shoestring budget to make these.
