Super Bowl Sunday has a lot of rights of passage. Eating at least one cream cheese-heavy dip. Rooting for a team that you (most likely) have no investment in the other 364 days of the year. And waiting in anticipation of trailers for a few of the year’s movies.
Admittedly, that anticipation has taken on a life of its own in recent years, to the point where portions of the Internet practically demand for half of the telecast to be dedicated to TV spots for every new movie they can think of. This was the case going into Sunday’s Super Bowl LX, with fans expecting top-secret, splashy new spots for Avengers: Doomsday, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, or The Odyssey. The Super Bowl audience ultimately didn’t get footage for any of those movies… but what we did get was odd.
