Telling me you didn't watch the trailer without actually telling me you didn't watch the trailer

I got pretty far into it before I turned it off. I don't typically watch trailers for things that I'm interested in because most of the time they reveal too much of what happens in the show/movie/game.

Edit: I mean, downvote me all you want, I'm just stating a hope for the series, sorry if that offends you.

Plus, even if you would have watched the whole thing, there is no guarantee for anything. Trailers are a marketing ploy to get you interested, hyped or otherwise engaged in the topic. Often enough have trailer and finished product deviated from one another. To beat a dead horse, cyberpunk or no man's sky, while apparently good now the backlash on release was due to marketing, misleading trailers and so on.

I watched the trailer and he still has a point. It could easily be another Rings of Power situation.

What, pray tell is that situation?
