Maybe it's just my corner of the internet, but the reaction I've been seeing to the Avengers:Endgame trailer has been a resounding "meh."
I guess the lesson to be learned here is that when you pull emotionally manipulative stunts that are ultimately pointless (such as killing off a bunch of characters and claiming it's permanent despite the fact that many of those characters have sequels lined up), your audience finds it hard to stay invested.
Oh wait, that's the lesson Marvel comics has been failing to learn for 30 years.
