    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Probably because this is the first time I've ever heard about it. And probably the first time most of us have heard about it. Just like you probably didn't know they are making a BioShock movie.

Where were they announcing and advertising this? The fucking moon?

[–] simple@lemm.ee 21 points 3 months ago

I've seen ads for it but the discourse is that the trailer looks so ass that nobody wants to bother with it. Not that anyone had expectations to begin with.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

This has been advertised just normally and talked about (hated on) here on Lemmy and everywhere else for several months now. You surely must just have been unlucky (or lucky) to have missed all of that till now. The trailer on YouTube from 5 months ago has 14 million views with 82k dislikes and 67k likes.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

I've seen several trailers on both YouTube and tiktok.

It looks like it has the budget of a fuckin high school play

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Oh no there’s been plenty of marketing for it, it’s been all over. It’s just that everybody wrote it off the moment they saw the casting.

[–] classic@fedia.io 5 points 3 months ago

I thought that it had already come and gone tbh. There was that trailer months ago and then crickets

[–] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There's been a couple terrible trailers. If you use an ad blocker, don't have cable, and happened to miss the social media posts around when the trailers dropped, then there you go. Happens to me more and more these days.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah, I always forget I have ad blockers for pretty much everything these days lol. That's probably it then.

Everywhere, you're blind.
