3 main points of contention are:

• Marvel/millennial writing

This trailer didn't win any favors because all I saw was "Marvel quirky writing in generic space setting".

I really didn't get that impression. "Marvel writing" is quickly becoming a meaningless term.

one liners, jokes, and sarcasm every other line of dialogue is what people mean by marvel writing

millennial writing, im good

• Excessive amount of product placement, which kills the game for no fun chuds and makes it better and more immersive to soylennials. Also media literacy or something

Sony record player? Porsche spaceship? Addias shoes? Fricking DXRacer gaming cockpit chair? What was with all of the absurdly distracting product placement

Kids, they did that because the style is 80S RETRO FUTURISM.

this whole subreddit is wooshing so hard on the aesthetic of the game

That has literally nothing to do with the point he's making. They could use fake brands and achieve the same aesthetic.

No, you couldn't have. Because those of us who saw it immediately, saw it BECAUSE of the very visible brand placement. Some of you are just to young to have actually gotten it.

I hate the brands in real life just as much.

Wow, so edgy.

Sounds exhausting.

It's creating a more relatable alternate reality that captures a vibe that we can sort of intuitively know and feel based on our real experiences with known brands

It kinda gives you the tone of the character imo. Like if Porsche is making space ships in this alternate timeline, it sort of informs us about the character a bit. It's not a junker rebel ship- it's badass, high-performance, and perhaps ostentatious and egotistical even.

Why were 3 massive brands planted so obviously in the trailer? Porsche, Adidas, Sony?

Obvious 90s inspired retro futurism aesthetic. How are people not seeing this??

G*mers have some of the worst media literacy of anyone on the internet, are you really surprised?

I can already see people freaking out about this online, when it's such an obvious artistic direction.

Sony has such a fricking hardon for themselves with the product placement in their movies, now games too?

I can't wait to play as a bald woman with my adidas shoes, my sony record player, my porsche spaceship. Wow! Thanks for the ultimate marketing game!

• That last comment brings us to most discussed part of the trailer - is having a tattooed, bald Black woman protagonist (and a character with an eye patch) woke Sweet Baby globohomo propaganda or are they just strong, diverse and inclusive characters that enrich the players' experience?

Looks like a cool setting and concept. But why... why do I gotta play as a bald chick? I'll play the game if it's got a good story and gameplay but i wish it didn't have to be... that. Just let me create my own character

We wanted masculine character lead again. Naughty Dog gave us their best: A bald lesbian

I mean the main character looks expectedly like a Neil Druckmann design.

I remember when bald badass women were celebrated. I see people pooping on the character and I just don't get it. She's has an obvious feminine build she's just bald lol.

Female, Asian, black, bald! The perfect combination ❤️ (can't tell if this is a or a lmao)

I immediately said "Naughty Dog" once I saw the bald and tattooed female protagonist

Oh man it features a non-feminine looking, woman of colour protagonist, the people who still vomit hate about TLOU2 and Neil Druckmann to this day are going to absolutely lose their minds.

Also, a truke at the end

TLoU2 and TLoU gameplay loops are honestly really boring. The only reason I made it through TLoU was because of the story. The gameplay loop of move from cover to cover throwing rocks and assassinating people gets really boring really quickly.
