What common thread do you tire of seeing in movie trailers?

[Falaskan]

I think it would be interesting to get a general consensus on what, if anything, you've grown tired of seeing in movie trailers. Trailers are still by far the main way to generate hype, but a lot of them are done the same way, even if the stories are different.

For example, many trailers seem to be fond of high pitch screeching noises for every gd blackout cut nowadays. Sprinkle that with a few unrealistic fight scenes entirely derived in CGI, and eventually, nothing stands out.

Do you think that is causing audience fatigue?

Giving away the entire plot of the movie.

I find that very annoying.

I hate the consistent and multiple fades to black. They never match my blinking pattern and make me want to harm someone. It's ok to sometimes cut directly to another scene.

Super fast cuts (like that poorly done Tomb Raider trailer)
Trailers trying way to hard to come off as cool and funny

But more than anything


Can studios stop using a Kanye West song for their ****ing trailer?

Comedy Trailer

1. Music is playing
2. Punch line delivered
3. MUSIC STOPS ON A DIME = Cue "Audience, Laugh now!!!!"
4. Music re-commences

I don't know that there's a consistent thread in trailers that truly bothers me, but I do know that after the endless ads I don't like sitting through a minimum of 8 trailers before the movie I came to see finally starts whenever I go to my local multiplex; enough already!

Trailers for trailers. Go f**k yourselves.

"In a world ..."

single piano notes to punctuate the fade in/fade out on quick establishing shots

vinyl record scratch. Yes, vinyl has made a comeback in recent years, but only with collectors. Many people born after 1990 only know this sound from movie trailers.

Slow version of a classic song apparently sung by a dead/haunted eight-year-old girl...just stop it already.

[drush9999]

When all the best one-liners are in the trailer...

[Visionist]

Friggin laser beams shooting into the sky.

I avoid trailers as a matter odf principle. Either I wanna see a film or I don't.

Yeah the 90's had that in everything.

All Trailers are the Same!!! - YouTube

The depressed acoustic female folk singer cover of a pop song, or the boy choir cover of a pop song played over the trailer.

The Inception loud horn played over every sci-fi action film trailer.

[sawdustandtinsel]

Primarily a YouTube thing: Cut it out with the 5 second tease of the trailer before the actual trailer.
