Trailer Battle: CAPTAIN AMERICA: TWS Vs X-MEN: DOFP

Trailer Battle: CAPTAIN AMERICA: TWS Vs X-MEN: DOFP

We've had two very different trailers for two highly anticipated CBMs recently -- one showcasing the fun and action we've come to expect from a Marvel flick, the other taking a much more somber, character driven approach. But which did you prefer overall?

Today we had the very impressive trailer for Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days Of Future Past. This first real (official) glimpse at the movie was character focused, and gave us flashes of the enormous ensemble cast while providing a couple of strong emotional moments; helped along greatly by that haunting (if admittedly a bit overused) score. By contrast the trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier which debuted the other day teased some very exciting looking action set pieces while only briefly hinting at the story, all to the clanging strains of one of Marvel's standard, somewhat generic, pop/rock tracks. Both trailers are obviously -- and purposefully -- very different in tone, but their jobs are ultimately to get you excited for the movies..so which do you think was most successful at doing that? Vote below and then sound off in the usual place.





After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” finds Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy — the Winter Soldier.




The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The beloved characters from the original X-Men film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from X-Men: First Class, in an epic battle that must change the past -- to save our future.

Cap - and if you think that the Cap trailer didn't have emotion or glimpses of dark undertones, then you're blind.

All DOFP did was show scenes of people....Namely Wolverine.

Cap > Wolverine and Friends part 7

"This isn't freedom, it's fear."

That's mother[frick]ing Captain America right there.

DOFP "SUNSHINE MUSIC"

Loved them both, not really into all the fanboy wars. But yeah these two movies are definitely in my top 5 most anticipated movies of 2014!

As far as trailers go... Cap takes this cake. I'm super pumped about DOFP though! I'm thinking the next trailer will shake things up quite a bit..

capcyclopsftw - 10/29/2013, 2:53 PM
Both were teasers....DOFP teased the large cast.

Cap teased the story: Winter Soldier bitches.

Cap wins.

I can see quite well thank you but "This isn't freedom, it's fear" line was delivered with all the emotion of a ham sandwich.

@TheWolverine08

Flame war? Both are Marvel.

Sony or Fox, they still produce under the Marvel banner.

How you doing kid?

The DOFP trailer uses music that tons of other trailers have already used. Its basically musical programming to elicit a reaction from the audience the scenes in the trailer aren't actually emitting.

i liked the variety of genres we are getting next year,cap is a political thriller with cap confronting the politics of today and looks to be marvel studios most emotional and serious movie yet and the directors have confirmed that there is less comedy then ou would expect because it is a thriller and to have thrills you have to have stakes,The amazing spiderman 2 is the more straightforward superhero film which is fine,X men days of future past looks very emotional,somber and character focused and guardians looks be avery FUN space adventure film

Captain America..............YES!!!
X-Men trailer???.....looks like its the Lifetime movie of the week. .....whats up with that sappy music? Its anything but epic or exciting. That's sad. This is the X-Men for crying out loud. I hope time and talent wasn't wasted, if so I'd rather watch an X-men animated feature. Not saying that the movie can't have its dramatic elements but that trailer was trying too hard to look cool and the cheesy music was only there to add gravitas to it. Damn that looks weak. I hope the actual movie is waaaaayyy better.

Character piece my ass...DOFP is banking on Wolverine. AGAIN!

wtf...there are dozens of other XMEN that can carry a movie.

At least make Kitty Pryde go back in time!

The Cap trailer made me more excited but I'm definitely looking forward to both.

And to those complaining about the lack of action and money shots in the DOFP trailer, it would be because they are still working on the CGI in the film. I imagine they wouldn't have anything to show at this point. The next trailer will be more action based.

Personally I liked both a lot and am excited for both..but the DOFP trailer gave me chills..the Cap one didn't (as awesome as it was)

LOL! Why do we even have a poll on this? Cap hands down!

AlegendaryPanda-what are your other three and what did you think of the big three superhero films of this year?

This isn't close. Cap's trailer is better by a mile.

Cap by a mile for me. Cant wait for the GotG trailer
WarnerBrother

One film is worthy of a summer release and the other one with AMERICA in the title ain't.

DOFP>GI Joe/Winter Soldier.

capcyclopsftw - 10/29/2013, 2:57 PM
blkyank - I guess he needs to be crying to deliver it with emotion huh? Just like ALL the [frick]ing whining we've gotten out of XMEN movies in the past and will continue to get.

jonnytheshirt - 10/29/2013, 2:59 PM
Cap one just didn't get me, cap two looks better, but DOFP all the way... The cast alone could make 90210 worthy.
TheWolverine08
TheWolverine08 - 10/29/2013, 3:00 PM
@Braniac I'm doing great man. Thanks for asking. The Marvelites and Foxites on this site like to argue about whether Marvel Studios or Fox CBMs are better. That's why I said a flame war is coming.

DVonShakari - 10/29/2013, 3:00 PM
I also find it funny how they need to remind us of just who the hell Bryan Singer is. Usual Suspects is pretty old and probably the best movie he's ever done. They probably didn't want to mention Jack The Giant Slayer cuz it sucked so bad. They're really reaching with that X-Men trailer...

1. MOS

10. Iron Man 3
I'm hoping Thor can make the top 10 but I haven't seen anything that makes me think otherwise.

2014
1. Cap 2
2. Spidey 2
3. GOTG
99. DOFP

Rormachine-the days of future past trailer did give me chills especially the last scene but what gave me bigger chills is the last shot of winter soldier catching caps shield as a fanboy thing and just knowing who it is just,,oh man
