meh, but looks more intriguing and real than the JL and Thor trailers, I hope they make something out of the horror premise.

This a proper risk, not the fake ones we see in the MCU.
Looks underwhelming but it's only the first teaser.

Thanks, Lord Deaf Man. What did you think of the visuals without any sound?

It's not really a risk, it's a horror film with X-Men characters nobody's seen before in the franchise so its not very unique other than being set in the X-Men movie universe. It's "not really a risk" for the reasons you stated? It seems like those would all be arguments in favor of it being a bold move, innit? If it's indeed (a) a "horror film" about (b) X-Men characters that (c) nobody's heard of, doesn't each one of those things exponentially increase the risk? Horror movies are generally marketed at a slightly older audience, precluding some younger viewers; not everyone likes the X-Men or feels abreast enough of their films to "jump on" with a new movie, just like any other series with sequels in the double digits; movies about familiar, established characters generally have a built-in baseline audience, which is why Hollywood keeps churning them out. So I think it's definitely risky. And I thank you for substantiating that point, good sir! |

It'd be more risky if they gave it the same color palette that every MCU movies has, with all the same dumb quips, and the same dumb plots. THAT would be risky!!! Innit? |

Meh, not really into horror. It's a fun twist putting superheroes into the genre though, I'll say that. Maybe it'll have a Dream Warriors vibe to it.

It's a political thriller, but also a Captain America movie. It's a space opera, but also a Marvel movie. It's a supernatural film, but also a Marvel movie. |

Nah, there's a difference between incorporating elements from other genres and taking the types of "all-in" risks Fox did with Logan and, according to you, New Mutants. I'll be sure to check it out! |

Yeah, I was also underwhelmed by this trailer. It looked a trailer for a TV show, and if it didn't say the word, "mutant," I'd never would've guessed this was an X-Men film. The Stranger Things Season 2 trailer looked more cinematic, and that's a Netflix show.

Don't know how to feel about this. On one hand I like that Fox is trying to experiment with different tones, but on the other hand this looks nothing like New Mutants. It's almost like they just took the name and pasted it on a horror flick.
