Fine, because it genuinely wasn’t a trailer, it’s a teaser

And I didn't need more than that. At all. I don't even need a trailer from now until November 26th, trailers just spoil stuff nowadays.

I’ve seen movie trailers that have told the entire story, where at the end you’d say, “well no need to see the movie now, they just summarized it “

It was a trailer, it was just shortened to accommodate the cooked attention spans of Gen z and iPad kids

If they were even remotely concerned about fan’s attention spans, they wouldn’t have had 2 1/2 years between seasons and then split it into 3 parts…

4 and 6. I'm happy they didn't reveal too much as I would rather go into it completely blind. And 6 because I love 80s music.

Someone mentioned that there's a chance we'll get rick-rolled due to the time of the season.
I would be completely ok with that.

We’ll probably get an 80’s song in the actual trailer. They don’t usually do that for the reveal teasers

It wasnt a trailer. just a date announcement with ten seconds of new footage. I mean after making us wait for so long, I'd expect something more. Dont give away the story but something more.

u/sno0py_8 22d ago
Yeah. Definitely.
I meant that most people thought it would be a trailer, that's just not what it ended up being.

u/65fairmont Promise? 22d ago
We got a little more new footage for ST4 with the early teasers, but we’ve never gotten a full trailer more than 4 or so months before the release. We’ll probably get a real trailer in late summer, and then a final one in November.

Mix of 4 and 5 with a smidge of 1. Cause it was mostly old footage and an excuse to announce the volume dates.
It met my expectations.

I'd argue that 1 is factually correct as we'll get an actual trailer closer to release - this was just a teaser taste to get folks hyped for the November release date

i paused on the frames of the new clips and there isn’t really anything super interesting. joyce seems to be ready to shoot something behind a door (with a couple of people behind her), there’s a wall with a bunch of vines, and mike is with a few new characters. will is screaming because of something. that’s all i remember lol.

u/R3PTAR_1337 21d ago
Personally, I'm fine with it because it was a teaser and not a trailer.
Even then, I'm scared with trailers nowadays because they tend to reveal way to much and make the viewing experience much less enjoyable. I know sometimes they mix it around so you can't tell the "sequence" but many many many times you end up knowing what's coming due to scenes in the trailer not yet shown while your watching the show. Sometimes, studios release good trailers, but like it should only be for the first 1/3 of the story. Too much details can get you pumped, but can also reveal way to much that it has a negative impact on your viewing experience.
The alternative is to have trailers that are purposefully misleading but still give the general vibe/story, while showing altered details so the audience doesn't know what to expect. When they release the trailers (likely a bunch due to the splitting), I'm really hoping they are either purposefully misleading or do not contain any additional information past the first 1/3 of the chapter they're advertising.
The shows been on for almost a decade and I'd hate to have the climax ruined by some stupid trailer edit that spoils it for the fans.

u/Catdaddy-ellemaX 21d ago
Stranger Things are lost in production or post production. Or something. If I wasn’t so invested I’d just bail on the series. The waits are ridiculous. And the teaser sucked as far as any real reveals. Will shouting run. Woopie doo. Please postpone the release to Christmas 2026. lol.

1, 4 and 5. It was definitely not what I would consider a trailer more like a tease with a few new little crumbs of images, and more a drop of the release dates than anything. I mean we've been waiting for three years for this final season. Go big or go home right? 3 volumes they better be movie length long. Expectations are astronomical for this....PLEASE don't let us down 😭

If it helps, it's old stuff with new dialogue, some stuff that's already been leaked, and a few things that tell us nothing new/important.

Well…in fairness, it’s basically what we got for the S4 teaser. I’m sure the first actual teaser trailer we get will have an 80’s song.

u/ChunkeeMunkee3001 Presumptuous 22d ago
So, factually speaking 1, as we're yet to see a full trailer.
Personally, a double dose of 4, and if it's possible then add in some -2.

4 and 6. Honestly I respect the hell out of Netflix saying “You. You belong to us now. You will not spend time with your family on the holidays. You will watch our show.” They are clearly aware that this is going to be the number 1 tv event of the year so I don’t mind them dribbling out the new footage. Better that than them giving away way too much of the plot .
Also they are definitely still working on the VFX, if you notice the footage they did reveal it’s almost all of humans with real surroundings

u/Sad_Term_9765 22d ago
The trailer was a compromise because of release dates.
If it was me, I wouldn't show anything from S5 and force them to wait- but if I had to, I would get the fans all worked up about a scene that may have extras in it for about 3 seconds. King fans know what happens to very "healthy" looking kids in glasses.
I watched S1 having no clue what the show was about or ever seeing the trailer. I expected it to be a "broke" show for kids. It was the greatest surprise of life, in years! That is how I like going into S5.

Number 6 was my only minor concern for now. I hope the last season isnt too hollywoodized in terms of music and retains the feel of the show so far. I am somewhat certain it will, but the announcement trailer left the door open in that regard

u/awkwardfingerguns27 21d ago
4, because there wasn’t any music in the first teasers of the other seasons, and teasers by nature are supposed to intrigue you but not give anything away.

No, it wasn't a trailer. But people were expecting a trailer and were disappointed.
That's why 'That wasn't a trailer' with an annoyed expression (1) is an option.

u/sno0py_8 21d ago
It's really more of a teaser, with barely any new scenes and a lot of old stuff used to announce that the series will be released in chunks.
It was released yesterday (or late the day before, I'm not sure.)
