Kind of difficult to put on screen without it coming across as ridiculous really.
That doesn't seem to bother them too much. There's enough ridiculous in that trailer there to feed a hundred giant cosmic turtles for a month or more.
I was looking forward to this, even though
Chapter One was disappointing (if not without its wins here and there), but that glimpse of it we've been given really isn't very promising at all, is it? Beth was absolutely the best thing about the first one. Remains to be seen how Grown Up Beth fares. What kind of shapes they've bid her throw. Hard to judge from that.
For what it's worth, I do like that the trailer is just "one of the scary bits for a while" and very little else. For what it's worth. If the scary bit they chose had been scary rather than ludicrous it would have been a trailer for the ages. If they'd actually done what they thought they were doing.
But. I'll still go see it. I'll probably do my best to avoid the avalanche of previews we're all but guaranteed between now and then.
