The X-Files Season 11: 10 Things We Learned From The New Trailer
3. The X-Files: Now With More Action!
One thing that stands out throughout this trailer is the amount of action scenes. From fights to car crashes to military action, to Scully sliding under a table then tipping it on its side to shield herself from gunfire, there's a lot of smash and bang going on. It's The X-Files: Now with More Action!
That may or may not be indicative of the final product, but despite the success of the X-Files revival, producers 1013 know that today's audience has a short attention span. The more action, the more likely they are to captivate casual viewers. It may also reflect the raised stakes of this new season, which may or may not be the show's final as a TV series.
Besides, a little action never hurts, and the show has always done its action sequences well, right back when some of its bigger stunts would be featured on shows like Entertainment Tonight.
