some new footage in there

I kind of feel like the last trailer did a better job of selling me on wanting to see the movie. It presented the same basic concept (and did a better job of it, honestly). The new trailer doesn't really add anything new or overly worthwhile, it just throws in little moments or quirky humor bits. And sort of assumes that you already saw the last trailer and have an idea of what's going on - if this is the first trailer for the movie you've seen, it might actually be a bit confusing.

I get that it's probably going to be a solid movie and will be kicking off some new MCU storylines, plus it's plucking all the right nostalgia strings, but with all the hype around it you'd think it was the next Endgame.

Between Doctor Strange 2 being about the multiverse, and Loki setting things up for alternate timelines and worlds, and lots of people seeing "multiverses" as being the way they're going to bring the Fantastic Four and X-Men into the universe, this sort of feels like they're using it as the launching point for everything that comes after. So this is IMPORTANT in a way that Shang-Chi and Eternals weren't.

Especially since Loki likely had a tiny fraction of the audience because they used it to sell Disney+ instead of trying to get it wider exposure. So tons of people aren't going to have any of that context once the movies start playing around with the idea. But making Spider-Man the key to setting up the multiverse means way more people will see it (especially in the wake of Into the Spider-Verse being a popular movie).

Basically, if Endgame was the "ending" of the old MCU, this is more or less the "beginning" of the new MCU. So it makes sense they're hyping it hard. Especially after the last few movies have under-performed (either due to the pandemic or because of audience burnout).
