The Crow (2024) Trailer - My Thoughts
the crow we all love the crow trailer for the new crows out funny as I say we all love the crow I have run into people who say the crow doesn't hold up to which I'm always like wait what the what so we've heard for years that they were remaking the crow to which I was like well we'll see then a pick of Bill Skarsgard as Eric Draven hit the internet I was like I'll wait for the trailer now the trailer's hit and I'm like I'll wait for the movie until I talk about the trailer so here we are this is one of those trailers from beginning to ends you feel like you've seen the movie kind of hard not to the premise of the crow is simple enough a guy and his girlfriend are savagely murdered he comes back as a spectre of Vengeance to kill them all scorpion minus the fire with more guns in Gothic tone for the sake of this movie looks like minus the gothic tone first of all the Eric Draven character design uh yeah I don't know was no one in the room did no one rais their hand and go might that look a bit too similar to the Jared letto Joker maybe we should not that's why it's important to have someone in the room who's old enough to remember the early days of the 2010s it's weird to phrase it that way but someone who can raise their hand and be like hey I was there for the DMC reveal trailer and all the backlash that character redesign got maybe we shouldn't do the exact same thing with Eric Draven only with more face tats how about we not and I've seen some counterarguments online saying look this is not a remake of the old movie this is an adaptation of the comic book but is it like does it feel like the comic book I know in the comic books there have been different people brought back to life for the sake of Revenge I'm just saying does this feel like Eric Draven though he looks more like someone Eric Draven is coming to kill someone who'd be hanging out with Tintin T Bird funboy and the rest of the Party Pals say what you want about Joker tats say this or that does a joker have a creepy eyeball tattoo on his chest it's so horrifically disturbing you can't look away no not that one that one there nipple eye I don't know why it disturbs me so much but by God it does now that the trailer's out I do feel like the conversation around his character design is simply part of the larger conversation around tone and atmosphere that which makes the crow feel like the crow which is seemingly absent from the trailer The Crow has a very Gothic tone the original film absolutely captured that in an amazing way to the point where the atmosphere of this weird Gothic City it's part of the character of the movie It's its own character in the movie is what I'm trying to say this trailer at least feels like Florida Joker strolled onto the set of John Wick and ran it through a generic emulator to be fair to the aformentioned generic emulated John Wick Vibe with a spectre of Vengeance some of the action looks like it could be pretty fun like the dude's behind Bill scars guards who takes the gun shoots through himself and takes the guy out looks like they're doing some fun enough stuff with the fact that he can't die so it looks like he might give himself the Yoshi mitsu and stab himself stab the person behind honestly I feel like if Bill Skarsgard in this movie was not Eric Draven he was someone else who was brought back to life to be the crow character for the sake of Vengeance the character designed would probably sit better with fans they'd probably still scoff at it sure but after the trailer they could be like well I mean some of the action looks pretty fun we'll see it's not like it's Eric Draven or anything Eric draven's still the protagonist in here and he was made to look like that because apparently whoever made this movie has never internetted ever is what it is will it succeed in that will it live up to the original I would like if I were in Vegas I wouldn't place my bets on that we're dealing with Hollywood there I'm playing the odds still action could be pretty fun it's all I'm hoping for after that I can only be pleasantly surprised or disappointed if the action sucks all right so the new Crow trailer have you seen it what did you think about it whatever you thought comment below let me know and as always if you like what you've seen here and you want to see more click right here to see [Music] more
