7 Times Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Misses The Mark

7. Trailers Showed Too Much

The first port of call with any new release is obviously the trailers. But a growing trend of modern cinema is simply showing far too much.

How many times have the big moments in films been revealed in trailers, just to get more interest before release. Yes maybe that boosts ticket sales, but it lowers the impact of these moments being actually revealed on screen. A major example in the MCU is revealing Spider-Man in the Civil War trailer.

The Illuminati is arguably the big 'surprise' of Multiverse of Madness, but of the seven members, four have been shown in trailers and the fifth is just a Strange variant. Imagine the cheer of seeing Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier return, without being shown in the trailer?

Yes the two members not revealed in the trailers were big surprises, especially one in particular, but why couldn't the Illuminati as a whole be a quality reveal?

Watch the clip below, even Feige, around the 3:15 mark, states the trailer showed too much.

When your head honcho states the trailer showed too much, you've clearly gone too far. End of the day, they simply didn't need to show nearly as much.
