8 Reasons Why Veronica Mars Trailer Promises Great Things

3. Compelling Secondary Characters

There is no fan of Veronica Mars who could had gotten through the trailer without at least cracking a smile. Whether it was remembering why Wallace Fennel was the best friend that Veronica could have asked for or wondering how Dick Casablancas manages to be funny, there was something exciting about seeing those characters on the screen again. It was at least slightly amusing to see that Keith still doesn't like Logan. Of course, the familiarity of characters would probably be of least interest to newbie, although kudos must be given to actress Amanda Noret for her part in the trailer. You may not know who the snooty blonde is, but it sure is satisfying to see Veronica punch her in the face. We also see some depth to the characters beyond what might usually be apparent in a preview. The loving and adorable boyfriend is not a total pushover. The accused murderer is more than just an ex-boyfriend. Keith Mars is the best dad that a teenage private detective could have asked for. Tina Majorino has an awesome haircut, and Jerry O'Connell... needs one. We see flashes of individual personalities in this trailer, and - in a film called Veronica Mars - we see that character depth will not be limited to the one in the title.
