Lots of trailers coming out on both the movie and video game front. Resident Evil 7, Death Stranding, Marvel vs. Capcom 4. Transformers 5's trailer is coming out today, with Spider-man dropping somewhere between now and Dec.16th (potentially tomorrow night, tho I heard the promo images were fake), Guardians Vol.2, The Mummy, and just today I saw that the trailer for War for the Planet of the Apes has been rated. Definitely an exciting time.
I can't get over that GotG trailer tho, it's the 2nd highest trailer launch ever apparently.

What does "highest trailer launch" mean, and what's number 1?

What does "highest trailer launch" mean, and what's number 1? When a trailer is released, it's called a launch, right? The record for the number of views within the 1st 24 hours has been changing hands over the past few years: Twilight, Marvel event films, 50 Shades of Grey, Star Wars, etc. The current champ is the upcoming live action Beauty and the Beast, which dethroned 50 Shades of Grey, which dethroned The Force Awakens. So, it's nice to see Beauty and the Beast sitting on top, followed by a Marvel film such as Guardians.

Gotcha, just wasn't sure about the standard: most views in the first 24 hours.

I was kind of iffy on my wording. It read in a way that felt like I was being patronizing, even though that was completely the opposite of the intention. If it came off that way, I apologize. Totally not what I was trying to convey.

Haha, don't worry about it man! It's all good. Except I'll hold a grudge forever and I might start thumbing down your most insightful posts!

So, a little update on the Spider-man trailer. I keep hearing from different sources that the trailer will not actually drop with today's AOS midseason finale. However, cast members from the show have hinted that a special trailer will be attached. So, if it turns out that it's not a Spider-man trailer, I'm thinking it has to be Inhumans, right? That, or maybe Ghost Rider really is getting his own show and they've done a really good job at keeping it a secret. It's probably Inhumans tho. I don't know that they've even filmed anything yet, but they can do something in the vein of the Defenders' trailer or Daredevil season 3. What do you all think?

Jimmy Kimmel's got that celebrity/abc connection man. Loved the teaser for the teaser, little bit of 1st person POV flavor. Spider-man is THE superhero character to get the best use out of that. Iron Man is a close second because of the helmet POV stuff, but Spidey's non-linear form of travel lends itself to the format.

I loved the web wings, I always loved that little detail in the comics and in the Enter Electro game.

I saw that. There's still a huge gap in my Spider-man reading. I'm missing a little over 100 issues of reading in the Amazing books I think. I've started making big strides tho. I have 6 tpb's (up to the Goblin Nation arc) of the Superior Spider-man storyline, as well as that giant cross over story Spiderverse. I'm hoping to read all of Spider-Island at some point over the next few months. From there, I'll either try to stay current, or go back and cherry pick the stories I read between Brand New Day, Issue 600, and whatever is out now.

The Clone Saga was so stupid. I remember when I was a kid, I bought a random issue of ASM and it featured Ben Reilly going around saying he was Peter Parker. It was so confusing! They should hire the guys who wrote "Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe" to make "Spider-Man Kills The Clone Saga".

I didn't really get into Spider-Man comics until after the Clone Saga (like around the time they relaunched), so I don't have as much animosity toward the Clone Saga as others. I have read some of it though and got some refreshers from Linkara videos, but I understand how it could be so frustrating for readers at the time, even for the writers who were forced to extend it as long as they could.
I have a soft spot for Ben as Spider-Man though. I loved his costume and it was my go-to suit playing the 2000 game.
In comparison though, One More Day was so much worse.
