If it wasn't for tumblr I would've never watched project hail Mary because the German trailer was so bad.
When I got the trailer as an ad before a yt video, I literally texted my sister ranted to her about how most new movies coming out just feel the same and how rarely we get something interesting and/or original.
The best way to describe it is that the trailer gave me Adam Sandler movie vibes.
Nothing against Adam Sandler movies, they are just not my type of humour and especially not the vibe I would want for a "the world is ending" space movie.
And honestly the main reason i didn't watch the movie was the one clip they chose for an interaction between grace and rocky.
It was the "your my favourite human because you are the only human I know" joke. Which I loved in the movie but in the German trailer?
I don't know how but they made it sound so light-hearted(?) that I got the vibe that grace was going to be the stupid Comic relief character that will be made fun of the entire time. Which is a trope I just cannot stand.
So I decided not to watch the movie because clearly I wasn't missing out on anything..
Then I saw tons of fanart here on Tumblr which made me question my decision. Because if Tumblr loves that movie it cannot be that bad. That's simply not possible.
Then, mainly after finding out about the bloodyMary ship I decided to check on AO3.
Where it was clear pretty quickly that this was not a funny silly movie so I finally decided to watch it (definitely legally) yesterday.
I cried 7 times
God that movie is so awesome
Germany, why did you make such an awful trailer that almost made me miss out on one of my new favourite movies?
