I have no problem with shocking humor, as long as it has an underlying purpose. This is devoid of wit. I realize we're only getting two minutes of footage, but if these are highlights, this movie is going to be absolutely awful.I'm hopeful. This trailer's purpose is to shock in order to differentiate the film from the usual family friendly fare, so I'm not sure it's safe to judge much from it. I'd wait til trailer 2. There's time.
I think you misunderstand the purpose of the first trailer. Clearly it was more important to them to shock people into realizing that this would not be the usual puppet fare from the Henson name than telling the plot. They could have done both, and future ones probably will. Even so, I like the ad. Lots of scrutiny for such a tiny sampling, but that's what we fans do.I have no problem with shocking humor, as long as it has an underlying purpose. This is devoid of wit.

No, I get that, and I hope that your optimism is rewarded. But if the level of cleverness is relegated to such quips as "F**k me." "Maybe I will!" then I will certainly be disappointed.I think you misunderstand the purpose of the first trailer.

Sure! He is still with Henson despite everything that happened. Yet Steve Whitmire can just flake off....I didn't expect for Kevin Clash to get involved!
