Agreed, and I know its been discussed to death, probably one of the worst advertising/marketing campaigns. Nothing good comes from giving away the entire film. I mean they showed the final shot and everything that would have been a surprise in trailers etc. I truly feel that the reaction and response to this movie would have been much more positive had we had NO clue about a Goblin and or Rhino in the film.
Webb said he wanted to keep gwen death and the goblin a secret but oddly it become a big marketing thing where they had to tease her death in every trailer and tv spot
But From what I hear the director has very little say on marketing
Somehow they felt marketing her death like a big event and teasing the sinister 6 would drive this film to make a billion which doesn't really work that way, or at least I don't think it does, it's very forced marketing
Their marketing didn't help the movie at all. It's the lowest grossing Spider-Man movie yet lol.
The way they have ruined all the villains so far it would not be a surprise if Otto was just an Oscorp henchman.
I would have to dig deep for it, but I saw an interview where even Emma Stone voiced her opinion on the marketing, stating she would prefer major plot points to be a total surprise rather than having Sony showing even glimpses of them in the trailers.
