lmao. They have released 19 *highly* successful movies, including 2 about a tree and a talking raccoon that nobody (especially me) thought would be worth anything. But the 20 second teaser tells you they can't pull it off? Yea, ok.
Maybe instead of clinging to a movie replicating a few hackney'd pages from a mid 1980's comic book, you ought to go into this for what it is - the culmination of 20 movies worth of build up.
Or not.
I guarantee it won't be the same as the original series though, because it isn't being written by two guys who can literally make up anything they want while another guy inks it in a week.
I like comic books here and there, but on the whole even the best runs are filled with complete crap. There is a reason we have hundreds of characters with dozens of titles released per year, and yet only a handful are actually remembered as good storylines.
On the other hand, the MCU track right is essentially spotless comparatively.
Highly successful, yes, so far as making money, that doesn't mean they were actually good movies for the record (though as I noted, if you bothered to read, I have really enjoyed most of them thus far)
I get that this is beyond your comprehension since you didn't read the "hackney'd" comics that this series is based on, but a comparison to the original story line, which this is based on, is entirely appropriate. And the point, again if you bothered to read, was not if these would be good, or "successful" but was that they wont do the original series justice, or be as epic. Why ? They are missing more than half the characters necessary to do so. They have cut out an entire area of the story, and the characters associated with it. Not that they can be blamed, part of it is the ownership of the IP, the other part is that you can't tell as much story in 40 hours of films as you can in just a few "hackney'd" pages from the 1980s. This is always the case, the written / drawn medium allows much more story telling than the film medium does, its why most conversions to film/tv leave out a ton of detail, characters, sub plots etc.
So yea, you can try to call me out for "clinging" to the "hackney'd" comics this is supposed to be based on and pointing out the considerable amount that will be left out, even though I noted how I enjoyed the films, or you could just say "Yea, they wont be as epic, but they are still going to make a bunch of money and be really good" and I'd agree with you.
Would purchase so many Disney t's if the backs were plain.
