Super Bowl 2019 Trailers: 10 Things We Learned

8. Captain Marvel's Marketing Continues To Underwhelm

With barely a month to go until Captain Marvel hits screens, Marvel Studios is entering the final phase of their marketing push for the much-anticipated superhero origin story.

And yet, on the grandest stage they could possibly debut a trailer, doesn't the Brie Larson-starring comic book flick still feel a bit flat?

Absolutely nothing in this 30-second teaser suggests it'll be anything more than a garden variety origin story, which given Carol Danvers' status as the MCU's most powerful superhero really won't be good enough.

From the cringe-worthy music to the creaky dialogue and iffy CGI, it's just not rousing the hype like it should be.

It'd be silly to bet against Marvel Studios given their 20-film winning streak, but if you're expecting this to be top-shelf MCU, you might want to temper your hope a little.
