Every single trailer I see nowadays abuses the zimmerman horn or drumexplosion or whatever it is like a red-headed step child. I've actually taken to counting how many times I hear that sound per trailer. I get into the dozens for most of them. The end result is, they all sound identical to one another. One day, I want to make a trailer for a movie that completely defies normal trailer tropes. A trailer that is just nothing at all like people expect. Remember Hitchcock's Psycho trailer? That thing where he just showed you around the set? That was so weird that it was kind of interesting. Or how about another one from the WatchMojo list? Alien. If you want tension, there's no better trailer than that one. We're to a point at which audiences would be BLOWN AWAY if only someone could think outside of the box with a movie trailer. Stop abusing the BWAAAAAAH Inception noise at every turn, stop making *every single thing* in the trailer sound like a matter of life and death importance (followed swiftly by a BWAAAAAAH), and just... give us something different. Maybe something quiet? Maybe something subtle? Maybe something that doesn't give away all the best shots and lines?
Captain America jumping out of planes: in the Avengers he had to land, Winter Soldier he was diving into the ocean (he hasn't worked out how to swim through land yet)
What I always hate about trailers is how towards the end, they do this rapid flashing of scenes from the movie accompanied by this sort-of screeching sound, probably a girl screaming, an explosion, and other stuff right before the screen goes black and the title of the movie scrolls in, followed by either a flying sound or that bass thingie from Inception.
+Definitely Catherine British vs American accents are the least troubling thing going on in Hollywood casting departments. The typical Hollywood movie lead actor is white, male, 20-something, often stereotypically attractive but sometimes not at all, and American-accented. It's like a list of list of things you had to be in order to vote in America in 1776. This is a small percentage of America. And these kids usually can't even act, which makes their extreme similarity seem like the sole reason that they got the job. If you're a woman, you either need to be very TV-attractive or white. Either one. Our movie industry makes us look like one big KKK rally.
I honestly like this guy. Like I don't want to party with him. I want to awkwardly work a conversation into a brotherly bonding moment that becomes a friendship with him.
3:32 "it's like one of the producers has the brain-injury from 'Memento' and everyone else just feels too bad to bring it up"-exactly! xD - you earned your thumbs-up right there! xD
It's a shame they are all pretty much the same.. It's like all trailers are made by the same person. No one dares to be different anymore it seems, daring to be even slightly different. Last trailer I remember leaving an impression was a Watchmen trailer, the one with the smashing pumpkins soundtrack. I did not really know anything about the movie yet aside from a short article and it really did leave an impression. I had so many questions about what I saw on screen, while not knowing much about the plot I just knew it would be unlike any other superhero movie and that I had to see it. Was not disappointed.
or the new ten cloverfield lane. a good trailer is one like this. in my book, character meets alien. okay. you have a close-up of the characters eyes. he falls asleep, and wakes up. you see him get up, and look around. he seems unsettled but still pretty normal. he walks out slowly, asking hello. over his shoulder the camera sees something sitting there. all you hear is "hello." boom. epic trailer.
he jumped into disturbed water like a knife. he didn't belly flop into a pool. There has to be some penetration value given to him being a super soldier.
Besides the Avengers happened before The Winter Soldier and he was just defrosted. It makes sense to take it easy at the beginning and the go full throttle.
Rundori Its called terminal velocity when you're going so fast the water turns to cement when you fall out of a plane without a parachute I really doubt him not belly flopping into the water will slow him down enough not to die from it which is what usually happens.
David Brace The terminal velocity of an object is the velocity of the object when the sum of the drag force (Fd) and buoyancy equals the downward force of gravity (FG) acting on the object. Since the net force on the object is zero, the object has zero acceleration.
Not true. Water has the same consistency regardless of the speed of an object falling into it. As long as his entry technique were good, the only difference between cliff diving and airplane diving is the depth to which Cap would descend upon entry. And that depth would be finite, once he achieved the altitude required to reach terminal velocity. Actually, of more concern would be that he's attempting it with full gear and a shield on his back (there's a reason cliff divers are basically naked). With the cowl, he'd really have to go in head first or it would probably get ripped clean off (the cowl, not necessarily his head). And he'd really have to watch his entry angle or any space between the shield and his back could certainly cause enough resistance to dislocate a shoulder or at the very least give him a concussion. Of course, Cap is much sturdier than the average person and if a fall from 10-12 stories onto pavement, using his shield and one shoulder as a buffer didn't do it, he'd most likely be fine.
Just because I'm a nerd, I have to point out that in the two jumps by Captain America you cite there is an actual difference. Cap uses a parachute when dropping into a city and therefore landing on concrete, and Cap doesn't use a chute when jumping over water. This is because Cap can survive the water landing with a dive, but can't dive through concrete.
+Ionlymadethistoleavecoments That would be awesome! He'd actually have super powers! Well, besides of course his super power of leadership and super ability to take steroids.
+Wolf of the West You should also note that water isn't soft, diving out of a aircraft and landing on water will have the same impact on landing as if he had fell on concrete. Hell, it's worse because if he somehow survived, he'd just drown due to his broken bones. Although Hollywood does have a history of ignoring that little triviality.
Right, because when you're several thousand feet in the air, jumping into water is completely safe and not at all basically the same thing as hitting concrete.
Its called terminal velocity moron if you go out of a plane without a parachute over the water the water turns to concrete from the speed of you're fall and kills you.
"Drumsplosion", eh? Well, it's good to have a term for that overused sound effect. Can't complain about the Inception noises, though, those are pretty cool!
captain america should actually be able to survive jumping out of a plane w/o a parachute depending on how they do it. if they have him just land on his face and shrug it off then yes that is beyond his power set. but within the marvel universe's set of laws his shield absorbs 100% of all vibrations so if he uses his shield to absorb the impact of the shock it would be like just jumping off your bed. sounds hard to believe but look up the facts on proto-adamantium within the context of the marvel universe. theres a reason why even thor's mjolnir couldnt dent it in the avengers.
How does that stop his body from hitting the shield/ground and crushing him into paste? It aborbs vibrations, it doesn't stop gravity affecting the person holding it.
MrGhaundan I'm not a scientist, but I guess the shield is made of Vivranium on both sides, so it would absorb the impact force of the ground and the opposing impact force of a body, right?
The bullets that hit the shield are flattened, right? Force goes both ways, the shield will aborb the downward impact into itself. He himself however will crunch up into the shield as he goes from terminal velocity to 0 in 0 seconds flat.
No problem, I'm not a huge superhero fan but I like 'em well enough but that scene just irked me as it didn't jive with how they explained the shield at all.
Have they at least stopped doing the drawn out "No!"/Character name at the climax of the trailer when one of the main protagonist reaches towards the camera?
Brilliant,mate. Relevant conclusions I believe few people had realised. I know I didn't. And the for the last minute or so,I couldn't stop laughing. Good job.
I love the bit about drumsplosions. That shit has been pissing me off for years. Totally just like a fed up clown trying to entertain rowdy children lmao
Well to be honest about the "drum-splosions," they sound awesome. Music and noise in general have a curious effect on us humans. When we see something, anything, and hear a sound like that, our brains go "holy shit, I don't know what this is, but it's AWESOME!" It also promptly raises our heartrate to illustrate its point. Of course, overexposure can eventually dull anything down...
I think were at the point of overexposure. When I watch trailers I feel like the audience is being told when to get excited, laugh, etc. I guess that's kind of the point, I just see the strings too much. Other people seem to lap it up though.
The thinking in the case of Captain America is probably that in Avengers he's jumping out over land - and in CA2 he's diving into the ocean. With that said, from flying altitude hitting the water is going to have the consistency of concrete. Though it would be neat if he like - threw his shield ahead of him or something to break the water tension?
"Looks the same" is a euphemism for "it's a fucking cliché", and I also hate when the screen goes black 20 times in a trailer, this "dramatic" pauses are getting annoying and predictable (Hollywood movies in a word: predictable)
Odd that he says the Inception 'BWAAA' was big in 2012. That film came out in 2010. It didn't take people two years to catch on and put it in trailers...
the drum explody thing and inception bwam have been in almost every trailer since 2010. Have you been to a theater recently? All the trailers look and feel the same.
Actually, considering the personnel that the facilities in the Jurassic Park franchise would need to operate and remain in operation (maintenance crews, electricians, the scientists, decorators, etc.), the total death for both islands when the dinosaurs escaped is probably well in the hundreds. Slight oversight guys, slight oversight.
The park was designed to be managed/run by a minimal staff in the control room. When the storm impacted the park, almost all of the staff had already returned to the mainland via the ship - mentioned over loudspeaker and during Nedry's phone conversation asking for more time. As for Site B, the island was abandoned, and the animals were released with the assumption that the Lysine deficiency would kill them all off.
Dwight Blanche It may have been Designed that way, but most things do not go according to design. Although, sure, it is possible that most of them escaped when the storm hit, but I'm sure that some had to stay behind for one reason or another. Then there's also accidental deaths from handling the dinosaurs' transport to the island itself or to other parts of the island. If I remember correctly, one of the very first scenes of one of the three movies is the transport of one of the said dinosaurs and one of the moving crew gets his arm, if not his whole body, eaten.
I don't really care about most of this stuff. There are only so much ways of putting a trailer together. The only thing that really bugs me about movie trailers lately is that they just reveal too much of the plot. We get teasers, we get trailers, we get special extended trailers, we get the first ten minutes of the movie a month before it comes out... and even if you are strong enough not to watch them, you can be sure that the rest of the internet will and doesn't care the least about spoiler warnings. One of the best trailers I've ever seen is the Star Wars VII trailer. That one gave us an intense feeling and excitement for the movie while letting us guess. THIS is how it's done.
In defense of Robocop (which I haven't seen yet), they used the same musical cue to tie the events together. Just by seeing what he showed in the clip you can tell that the medical tubing stuff was what was saving the guy who got shot thus turning him into Robocop. Yeah, you might be able to tell that without them using the same music, but for a trailer, it's more exciting and more effective.
If you guys could do an updated analysis of bizarre movie trailer sounds, I would be eternally grateful. Alright, grateful for the duration of the video, plus another 4 or 5 minutes afterwards. That's not nothing.
The freefall shot. I told myself I'd never watch a movie with a freefall shot in the trailer... and I haven't seen a blockbuster in several years. If only that were a joke...
I feel like I should point out that in the Avengers, he was landing on land, whereas in The Winter Soldier, he was landing in water; so, he could just streamline himself with little risk of receiving an injury because he's Captain America, or whatever, unlike on land, where the bones in his legs would probably just shoot up through his torso if he tried landing without a parachute.
Not to mention the fact that Planes are alot faster than cars and can go over water...so really that section was about how writers like to have characters say a one liner and then leave....Just when you are in a plane, the only way to leave is to jump out of it.
Thomas Bowers it is possible for an object to be tough enough to drop from a rotary into water but not tough enough to drop from a plane over solid ground. so thats how tough the cptn is.
I'm completely surprised that they didn't include that dubstep-like bass drop gulp sounding thing that happens always when a bombs countdown reaches 0 or similar things. That is in absolutely everything. I watched this video specifically to hear someone bitch about that to no avail.
Am I the only one who realizes that this show is written with all the cracked humor we know and love, but is given to a man whose comedic timing is almost as good as Melissa River's?
This is just me being a very picky music student and I apologise, because I more or less agree with all of this and it made me laugh, but it's known as the Zimmerman Horn, not drumexplosion. Those are horns that make the most prominent sound...... Sorry for being so picky :(
First of all, I see a movie referencing an entirely different series within the same universe, made by the same studio, as a bit of a tongue-in-cheek, not-so-obvious dig at itself, hardly anything worth mocking. Secondly, when Cap jumped out of the plane with the parachute on it was over land. In the trailer he dives into water. That's so obvious that I feel like you intentionally ignored the fact so that you could fake that bit of criticism.
lumburgapalooza That's not a valid criticism. Why does he not just grow a pair of wings? Or why doesn't he just create a magic fireball which hunts down all of his enemies? The movie sets out the physics and laws of the world as it sees fit. Consistency is what the issue is. If the movie wants him not to need a parachute, that's absolutely fine... as long as that logic holds up. Is he immune to large forces? Okay so he's also immune to bullets, without his shield. If he needs a parachute in one scene but not the other, that's a flaw.
Playfulpanthress So that he doesn't die... There's reasonable limits. Diving head-first into water is one thing. We're not expected to believe he could survive a free-fall onto solid land.
IamGilgamesh666 WHAT?! I never suggested he could literally do anything. Are you just being thick to fuck with me? Diving into water is not comparable to free-falling onto solid land. Do you need me to explain the difference between a liquid and a solid for you? One he can survive because he's SUPERHUMAN and because water can be displaced, the other he can't because land is SOLID. Why is that such a difficult concept for you? It is COMPLETELY consistent because they're two completely different things. Don't give me some bullshit about the physics of a human body entering water at a certain velocity. SUSPEND YOUR IMAGINATION. This is its own universe with its own rules. Furthermore, when was it ever stated that he NEEDED the parachute to survive the fall to land? It wasn't. Maybe he just felt like parachuting.
I wish there were more inventive trailers, because I would probably see the movie just based on the fact that the marketing campaign broke formula. Think of all the trailers that went down in history, like Dr Strangelove, which used its ludicrous plot and hilarious sporadic snippets of lines to create a comedic trailer with plenty of mystery surrounding it, and yet it told you exactly what kind of movie it is, or Psycho, which at first seemed like a strange little tour of a house with your weird uncle Alfred, and it turned into the scene of murders that nearly made Hitchcock throw up.
4 years later: Aquaman trailer features a hero talking to a redhead and she jumps out of the plane without a parashoot... this is strangely timeless...
Because most sci-fi based action movies have characters in them......... I mean seriously. It's like saying all automobiles are bizarrely specific because they tend to have 4 wheels, people ride around in them and they have seats.. guys are you even trying anymore?
And of course those loud drum beats all cover a series of epilepsy-enducing action clips all crescendoing to one quiet moment where one character says something dramatic or, if its a horror flick, theres a jumpscare and then they show the movie title and release date. They do this now with every single action or horror movie these days. And it is absolutely annoying.
I think music and sound is telling us how to feel and react to ideas u remember what u do according to ur feelings and when they're not our own then they make sure we're programmed to believe we came up with it then we accept it and forget about it but it still affects us sublimally! music and sound generally influences our emotions it's like when u read the lyrics of the song they may be simple but the music is so powerful it affects ur energy and u feel good or bad either way u move on!
the blue and yellow/orange thing actually is because of the way that films are coloredited. humans usually have yellow/orange skintones/undertones, and blue contrasts nicely with orange. So they make everything blue so that the people pop out on screen more.
I noticed something else. How many times has the SHIELD carrier been brought down/damaged severely/generally messed up to the point where it needs months of repair.... and nothing is done to either prevent or minimize this from happening?
Jumping into water vs jumping onto land. They are different, now dont get me wrong, landing on water is more dangerous (water doesn't compress) but the two jumps are different from avengers vs captain america 2
What about the descending bass note? I've been mentioning that for years now and here's a video about trailers doing the same thing... come on! There's the big "something" that happens, such as a car catching serious air, somebody jumping off something, the arrival of a UFO, some sort of big punch (or kick) sending somebody flying... or any big action moment in slow motion, and it's usually marked by a heavy, deep, everything else gets quiet, vibrato, descending bass note. Happened in any action trailer throughout the last 15 years. Drives me crazy the people making the trailers don't remember (or don't care) that we might be smart enough to know they used it in the last 37 trailers. "Hey... this movie made money, and the trailer had that sound, ya' know, that sound? Yeah, put that in there again. There... that's good, that's a wrap".
Sorry for not subscribing sooner. I was enjoying my binge watching of your videos too much....my bf laughed so hard... Is that bad? Please don't be mad (puppy eyes)Oh, and erm, you might want to put your pants back on.
Well hold on now, before Cap jumped out of both planes he was doing 2 different things before those jumps. In the Avengers he needed a parachute so he can glide as far as he can to the location of Thor and Ironman. In The Winter Soldier he was already over the designated drop zone of which it looked like he was diving into water anyway so....yeah.
Kabitu1 Inception sound is quite likely based on some horn instruments at a low register and digitally enhanced and manipulated and the drumsplosion...well...is drums like timpani or toms etc, likely also digitally enhanced.
Kabitu1 The timing is different along with the feeling of dread that accompanies the inception sound in the movie. It really is one of the best films in our time.
I kinda thought they didn't give the Captain a parachute in his own movie because if you see the bloopers to Avenger's, Chris Evans kinda had a hard time getting the parachute over his costume. XP
Do people not realize it's usually the same company/group of people that make most trailers. Normally it's not the film makers themselves but just a hired company on the side, that's why all trailers look the same, it's the same people making them.
He wasnt wearing a parachute in the first clip from Captain America, since he was diving into water and can break the crest with his shield..the clip from Avengers, he was jumping onto land, and at that height, his shield wouldnt do a damn thing from turning him into a little blob of jam.
you showed harry potter. of course harry potter has a british villian. IT HAS A BRITISH EVERYTHING.
I can't help but feel that Harry Potter is a bad example of the whole 'villains have British accents' thing.
The fault I found with it is they used a picture of Snape, and he's a good guy.
***** Do the spoils ever end?
DestroyerOfSandwiches
The books have been out since 2007 and the movies since 2011. You've had your chance.
Because Snape was a good guy all along, or because the entire cast was British?
SimplyAnime101 Both, really.

Captain America jumping out of planes: in the Avengers he had to land, Winter Soldier he was diving into the ocean (he hasn't worked out how to swim through land yet)
Unless you are really close to the water, it's apparently like jumping into concrete. Ex: So many bridge suicides throughout history

This.
Or the one liner that's supposed to make everyone chuckle right at the end, pulled out of context and may or may not be in the actual movie.
All villains are British accept in Doctor who in that case everyone in the whole entire universe is British.

If the color wheel is reduced to blue and yellow, then maybe the target audience is your pet dog.

You could add to the "drumsplosion" entry by pointing out how every movie trailer usually starts with a single piano note...
"Fuck you, Redhead!"
I actually laughed so fuckin hard
10/10
I always thought Cap used a parachute in The Avengers because there was no water he could dive in.

try the "10 Cloverfield Lane" trailer. That's one of my favourite trailers ever. (don't look at the comments though, because spoilers)
I'd almost prefer an 80s trailer where someone with a gruff voice comes right out and says "yo this is what the film's about"
And even with all this bullshit, we still go watch all these movies...lol
this is one of the most hilarious episodes i've watched. KUDOS! can't stop laughing. hahaha
Jumping out of a quinjet over water vs land..... seems like one of those needs a parachute more than the other.
he jumped into disturbed water like a knife. he didn't belly flop into a pool. There has to be some penetration value given to him being a super soldier.
Besides the Avengers happened before The Winter Soldier and he was just defrosted. It makes sense to take it easy at the beginning and the go full throttle.

The terminal velocity of an object is the velocity of the object when the sum of the drag force (Fd) and buoyancy equals the downward force of gravity (FG) acting on the object. Since the net force on the object is zero, the object has zero acceleration.
quick googling I find that the safest high dive is 177 ft. A super soldier has to at least double that. How high was the quin-jet anyway?
In the Avengers Cap is landing on land while in Cap 2 he's diving into the ocean.
basically the same shit. ocean becomes hard as fuck when you jump from a certain height.
Not true. Water has the same consistency regardless of the speed of an object falling into it. As long as his entry technique were good, the only difference between cliff diving and airplane diving is the depth to which Cap would descend upon entry.

I think were at the point of overexposure. When I watch trailers I feel like the audience is being told when to get excited, laugh, etc. I guess that's kind of the point, I just see the strings too much. Other people seem to lap it up though.
Finally, I always thought these things but had no way to explain them.
The thinking in the case of Captain America is probably that in Avengers he's jumping out over land - and in CA2 he's diving into the ocean.
With that said, from flying altitude hitting the water is going to have the consistency of concrete. Though it would be neat if he like - threw his shield ahead of him or something to break the water tension?
CRACKED IS THE BEST MOVIE TH-cam CHANNEL EVER !!!
love you guys !
I actually kind of like villain voice-over monologue. It sets a tone. A cheesy, over-used tone, but a tone.
The best Trailer I ever saw was for the Coen Brothers' A Serious Man. That trailer it's self is a work of art.
5:47 That's not a drumsplosion, it's the sound of ovaries exploding
And now I won't be able to not notice that sound and find it stupid.....
"Looks the same" is a euphemism for "it's a fucking cliché", and I also hate when the screen goes black 20 times in a trailer, this "dramatic" pauses are getting annoying and predictable (Hollywood movies in a word: predictable)
Came back to this and realised the redhead trope reaches a peak in aqua man
This is really good. Clever, concise & funny.
I just felt bad there was no comment here so I figured I'd add one
Odd that he says the Inception 'BWAAA' was big in 2012. That film came out in 2010. It didn't take people two years to catch on and put it in trailers...
The "fuck you redhead" line he said at the end had me laughing so hard.
A. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
B. More people are entertained by these trailers than they are by Cracked sketch comedy.
Ya, how does that feel?
damn
*applause for the savage badassery*
i don't think picking 2 different movies for each example really counts as 5 ways every movie trailer looks the same
the drum explody thing and inception bwam have been in almost every trailer since 2010. Have you been to a theater recently? All the trailers look and feel the same.
Actually, considering the personnel that the facilities in the Jurassic Park franchise would need to operate and remain in operation (maintenance crews, electricians, the scientists, decorators, etc.), the total death for both islands when the dinosaurs escaped is probably well in the hundreds. Slight oversight guys, slight oversight.
The park was designed to be managed/run by a minimal staff in the control room. When the storm impacted the park, almost all of the staff had already returned to the mainland via the ship - mentioned over loudspeaker and during Nedry's phone conversation asking for more time. As for Site B, the island was abandoned, and the animals were released with the assumption that the Lysine deficiency would kill them all off.
Dwight Blanche It may have been Designed that way, but most things do not go according to design. Although, sure, it is possible that most of them escaped when the storm hit, but I'm sure that some had to stay behind for one reason or another. Then there's also accidental deaths from handling the dinosaurs' transport to the island itself or to other parts of the island. If I remember correctly, one of the very first scenes of one of the three movies is the transport of one of the said dinosaurs and one of the moving crew gets his arm, if not his whole body, eaten.
Also, the line "a storm is coming".....every other hollywood scriptwriter has this line ready in his/her line toolboxes.
They are not drumsplosions, the correct term is BWWAAAAAAAAAAs.
Bank Gothic is still used in every blockbuster trailer.
Severus Snape was not a villain! He was a good man!
+Gwen Bowden Also everyone in Harry Potter had a british accent so by his logic they were all villains.
So he was a good guy, forced to be a bad guy, pretending to be good?...
+BLUEDRAGONFLY not too much good though
he's a good guy from the beginning, he just hate potter because his father is an arshole whose hobby is bullying him everyday
Dude has fantastic taste in music. Dan must be jealous.
I don't really care about most of this stuff. There are only so much ways of putting a trailer together. The only thing that really bugs me about movie trailers lately is that they just reveal too much of the plot. We get teasers, we get trailers, we get special extended trailers, we get the first ten minutes of the movie a month before it comes out... and even if you are strong enough not to watch them, you can be sure that the rest of the internet will and doesn't care the least about spoiler warnings.
One of the best trailers I've ever seen is the Star Wars VII trailer. That one gave us an intense feeling and excitement for the movie while letting us guess. THIS is how it's done.
When I splashed somebody, yelled "teleporter" dove to the bottom of the pool, and swam across, I must've been thinking of this.
In defense of Robocop (which I haven't seen yet), they used the same musical cue to tie the events together. Just by seeing what he showed in the clip you can tell that the medical tubing stuff was what was saving the guy who got shot thus turning him into Robocop. Yeah, you might be able to tell that without them using the same music, but for a trailer, it's more exciting and more effective.
Awesome video!
If you guys could do an updated analysis of bizarre movie trailer sounds, I would be eternally grateful.
Alright, grateful for the duration of the video, plus another 4 or 5 minutes afterwards. That's not nothing.
The freefall shot. I told myself I'd never watch a movie with a freefall shot in the trailer... and I haven't seen a blockbuster in several years.
If only that were a joke...
I feel like I should point out that in the Avengers, he was landing on land, whereas in The Winter Soldier, he was landing in water; so, he could just streamline himself with little risk of receiving an injury because he's Captain America, or whatever, unlike on land, where the bones in his legs would probably just shoot up through his torso if he tried landing without a parachute.
The difference from those scenes is he is landing in water. 3:28
almost made the same comment
Not to mention the fact that Planes are alot faster than cars and can go over water...so really that section was about how writers like to have characters say a one liner and then leave....Just when you are in a plane, the only way to leave is to jump out of it.
Thomas Bowers
it is possible for an object to be tough enough to drop from a rotary into water but not tough enough to drop from a plane over solid ground. so thats how tough the cptn is.
I'm completely surprised that they didn't include that dubstep-like bass drop gulp sounding thing that happens always when a bombs countdown reaches 0 or similar things. That is in absolutely everything. I watched this video specifically to hear someone bitch about that to no avail.
I like how the board in the background at the end still reads 122,343 subscribers when they have more than 300,000 now
lmfaooo the edits are hilarious
Cap had a parachute in the avengers because he was landing in a forest. In the winter soldier, he landed in water
Inception bwang is better than drumsplosion. Side-by-side comparison made, I definitely gotta go with the BWAANG.
Am I the only one who realizes that this show is written with all the cracked humor we know and love, but is given to a man whose comedic timing is almost as good as Melissa River's?
This is just me being a very picky music student and I apologise, because I more or less agree with all of this and it made me laugh, but it's known as the Zimmerman Horn, not drumexplosion. Those are horns that make the most prominent sound...... Sorry for being so picky :(
Regarding the endplate: Soren almost took off his shorts. I almost subscribed. You know exactly where this is going.
First of all, I see a movie referencing an entirely different series within the same universe, made by the same studio, as a bit of a tongue-in-cheek, not-so-obvious dig at itself, hardly anything worth mocking.
Secondly, when Cap jumped out of the plane with the parachute on it was over land. In the trailer he dives into water. That's so obvious that I feel like you intentionally ignored the fact so that you could fake that bit of criticism.
If someone dives into water at a height that requires a parachute, then that person is going to go splat.
JJA8020
Except that he's a superhero in a fictitious setting...
lumburgapalooza
That's not a valid criticism. Why does he not just grow a pair of wings? Or why doesn't he just create a magic fireball which hunts down all of his enemies? The movie sets out the physics and laws of the world as it sees fit. Consistency is what the issue is. If the movie wants him not to need a parachute, that's absolutely fine... as long as that logic holds up. Is he immune to large forces? Okay so he's also immune to bullets, without his shield. If he needs a parachute in one scene but not the other, that's a flaw.
Playfulpanthress
So that he doesn't die... There's reasonable limits. Diving head-first into water is one thing. We're not expected to believe he could survive a free-fall onto solid land.
IamGilgamesh666
WHAT?! I never suggested he could literally do anything. Are you just being thick to fuck with me? Diving into water is not comparable to free-falling onto solid land. Do you need me to explain the difference between a liquid and a solid for you? One he can survive because he's SUPERHUMAN and because water can be displaced, the other he can't because land is SOLID. Why is that such a difficult concept for you? It is COMPLETELY consistent because they're two completely different things. Don't give me some bullshit about the physics of a human body entering water at a certain velocity. SUSPEND YOUR IMAGINATION. This is its own universe with its own rules.
Furthermore, when was it ever stated that he NEEDED the parachute to survive the fall to land? It wasn't. Maybe he just felt like parachuting.
Cracked marathon Day 2. Loving it 😄
Also,every trailer usually has some conversation between two characters after the title reveal.
I wish there were more inventive trailers, because I would probably see the movie just based on the fact that the marketing campaign broke formula. Think of all the trailers that went down in history, like Dr Strangelove, which used its ludicrous plot and hilarious sporadic snippets of lines to create a comedic trailer with plenty of mystery surrounding it, and yet it told you exactly what kind of movie it is, or Psycho, which at first seemed like a strange little tour of a house with your weird uncle Alfred, and it turned into the scene of murders that nearly made Hitchcock throw up.
4 years later: Aquaman trailer features a hero talking to a redhead and she jumps out of the plane without a parashoot... this is strangely timeless...
I brushed it off as just the way they're cutting movies now.
Also, in the new movie trailer for Captain America he's diving over water, not over land.
Because most sci-fi based action movies have characters in them.........
I mean seriously. It's like saying all automobiles are bizarrely specific because they tend to have 4 wheels, people ride around in them and they have seats..
guys are you even trying anymore?
And of course those loud drum beats all cover a series of epilepsy-enducing action clips all crescendoing to one quiet moment where one character says something dramatic or, if its a horror flick, theres a jumpscare and then they show the movie title and release date. They do this now with every single action or horror movie these days. And it is absolutely annoying.
I think music and sound is telling us how to feel and react to ideas u remember what u do according to ur feelings and when they're not our own then they make sure we're programmed to believe we came up with it then we accept it and forget about it but it still affects us sublimally! music and sound generally influences our emotions it's like when u read the lyrics of the song they may be simple but the music is so powerful it affects ur energy and u feel good or bad either way u move on!
the blue and yellow/orange thing actually is because of the way that films are coloredited. humans usually have yellow/orange skintones/undertones, and blue contrasts nicely with orange. So they make everything blue so that the people pop out on screen more.
I noticed something else. How many times has the SHIELD carrier been brought down/damaged severely/generally messed up to the point where it needs months of repair.... and nothing is done to either prevent or minimize this from happening?
Jumping into water vs jumping onto land. They are different, now dont get me wrong, landing on water is more dangerous (water doesn't compress) but the two jumps are different from avengers vs captain america 2
If cracked made an avengers series or something like that, Soren should play Captain America
What about the descending bass note? I've been mentioning that for years now and here's a video about trailers doing the same thing... come on! There's the big "something" that happens, such as a car catching serious air, somebody jumping off something, the arrival of a UFO, some sort of big punch (or kick) sending somebody flying... or any big action moment in slow motion, and it's usually marked by a heavy, deep, everything else gets quiet, vibrato, descending bass note. Happened in any action trailer throughout the last 15 years. Drives me crazy the people making the trailers don't remember (or don't care) that we might be smart enough to know they used it in the last 37 trailers. "Hey... this movie made money, and the trailer had that sound, ya' know, that sound? Yeah, put that in there again. There... that's good, that's a wrap".
+abbeykroeter That's usually in "bullet time" shots, along with a booming bass echo for dramatic purposes. It's overdone as hell these days.
What about fading to black over and over again every second throughout the entire trailer while combining it with the drumsplosion.
Sorry for not subscribing sooner. I was enjoying my binge watching of your videos too much....my bf laughed so hard... Is that bad? Please don't be mad (puppy eyes)Oh, and erm, you might want to put your pants back on.
ok that ending was hilarious.
OMG this is the first video by this guy that was actually funny and insightful!
Well hold on now, before Cap jumped out of both planes he was doing 2 different things before those jumps. In the Avengers he needed a parachute so he can glide as far as he can to the location of Thor and Ironman. In The Winter Soldier he was already over the designated drop zone of which it looked like he was diving into water anyway so....yeah.
Whats the difference between drumsplosion and the Inception sound? I can't hear it.
Kabitu1 It's higher pitched and shorter
Kabitu1 all of his jokes and links are tenuous at best
Kabitu1 Inception sound is quite likely based on some horn instruments at a low register and digitally enhanced and manipulated and the drumsplosion...well...is drums like timpani or toms etc, likely also digitally enhanced.
Kabitu1 drumsplosion...i thought it was called Obligatory air horn...damn you Cracked for changing it on me again...
Kabitu1 The timing is different along with the feeling of dread that accompanies the inception sound in the movie. It really is one of the best films in our time.
Subscribed solely because of Soren's boxers.
I kinda thought they didn't give the Captain a parachute in his own movie because if you see the bloopers to Avenger's, Chris Evans kinda had a hard time getting the parachute over his costume. XP
1:30 I think the creators of the new Jaguar commercial might've watched this video
The subscribe guy at the end really has cracked
Did you notice that Alexander Pierce (Cap 2) and Apocalypse (X-men: Apocalypse) have the exact same line? Sometimes building a new world etc etc.
Cap jumping from plane in Avengers = Landing on Land
Cap jumping from Plane in Cap 2 = Landing in Water (which he can survive)
Do people not realize it's usually the same company/group of people that make most trailers. Normally it's not the film makers themselves but just a hired company on the side, that's why all trailers look the same, it's the same people making them.
Nice Jesse impression at the end there.
Technically speaking, Harry Potter was all British actors.
yeah and the shitty clash of the titans had non-evil british people in it
so basically just the Marvel movies, with some random action movies that fit that one thing you said.
He wasnt wearing a parachute in the first clip from Captain America, since he was diving into water and can break the crest with his shield..the clip from Avengers, he was jumping onto land, and at that height, his shield wouldnt do a damn thing from turning him into a little blob of jam.
"He dies, roll credits..." Is just incorrect. Cap is ultra-durable (between his Plot Armor and the Super Serum, he's virtually invulnerable.)
