I Watched The New Trailers For 'Captain Marvel' And 'Mary Poppins Returns' And I'm Now Hopelessly Confused

I'm just a little confused right now. I recently watched two brand new movie trailers, and now I simply have no idea what's going on with either film.

I watched the trailer for the upcoming movie "Captain Marvel," and for some strange reason, I still don't know everything there is to know about the movie. I mean, how is this possible? It's almost as if I am expected to actually go see the movie once it comes out in order to know the intricate details of the plot and the way that the characters interact with each other.

I'm just so confused. From what I can gather, Captain Marvel is some sort of human-alien hybrid with memories of Earth that may or may not be true. Then Samuel L. Jackson shows up, with special effects being used to make his character look younger since the film takes place in the 1990s. Sam gives some wonderful Sam L. Jackson-like lines, then suddenly we see Jude Law looking very stressed out, and that's basically all that I could gather from the trailer. Don't the people at Marvel understand that they are supposed to reveal every single spoiler and every single detail during the trailer, ensuring there are no surprises once the movie comes out?

It makes no sense. Why would I want to go see a movie without learning every plot twist and spoiler there is to know ahead of time. They can't really expect me to go into this movie blindly, learning the plot twists as they unfold while I watch the movie for the first time. That's just not something that people do. If a Captain Marvel trailer doesn't come out soon that explains all the film's secrets in exquisite detail, I will be forced to google all the spoilers once the film is actually released. It's a last resort, but if I must, then I must.

After watching the trailer for "Captain Marvel," I decided to watch the one for "Mary Poppins Returns," the sequel to the beloved classic film, hoping that this trailer would leave me less confused than the last one I watched. Unfortunately, it made things even worse. Maybe it's just me, but Mary Poppins looks completely different in this movie, almost like a different person entirely.

I spent the entire trailer waiting for Mary Poppins to show up. Actress Emily Blunt does appear in the trailer and identifies herself as Mary Poppins, which made me think that the film must feature a plot where an imposter pretends to be Mary Poppins until the real Mary Poppins shows up and has a showdown with the imposter. Unfortunately, Julie Andrews never showed up in the trailer to take her place as the rightful Mary Poppins, which had me thoroughly confused.

I simply don't understand what's wrong with the people responsible for producing movie trailers these days. The "Captain Marvel" trailer does not reveal hardly anything about the film and the trailer for "Mary Poppins Returns" does not even include the original Mary Poppins. I just hope that these mystical questions are cleared up in future trailers for these films, and if not, then hopefully things will become more clear once the films are actually released.

As of right now, I'm hopelessly confused.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
