I would claim that the trailer showing a sinking Titanic wasn't that big of a spoiler.

Pan the movie all you want, but the trailers for The Phantom Menace were outstanding.
It revealed mauls lightsaber though.
Was that ever a thing? Not revealing lightsabers? I certainly don't remember that and I lived through it.
Yeah, it was.
I can only find people on Reddit talking about it but we don't use that here

Here it is near the end.
But I'm also sure they dropped the scene of him extending it on TV somewhere too
Sorry I kind of miss understood I think.
I'm saying revealing the double lightsaber in the trailer was a mistake
Oh yeah, I got you. I remember the trailer quite vividly - I used to listen to Duel Of Fates on Winamp (remember that?) with the visualer effect!
But I don't think it was a mistake at all. It got you excited for the movie because you knew there was a kick ass lightsaber fight in the movie - which there was.
Anyways each to their own. We can at least agree the movie did not live up to the hype of the trailer.
Without wanting to start another SW flame war, I actually think the prequels (as bad as they were) are better than the new age Disney sequels for one massive reason. They were original movies, with original stories, and original characters (ok interpretations of characters π). They were at least creative. The new movies, to me, are rehashed committee designed waffle. As wonderful as the cinematography is in them, I am deeply disappointed as to why they didn't simple film Timothy Zahn's Heir To Thr Empire and Kevin J Anderson's Jedi Academy. They could have done that as a trilogy slightly condensed.
The Into the Spider-Verse trailer avoids the plot twists and reveals while showing off their new animation style. I think thereβs one or two lines and scenes in the trailer that didnβt make the movie itself, I donβt remember Miles and Peter sitting on a subway bench having a conversation. (It may have been a red herring, to avoid showing the actual scene with additional characters.)
The trailers to the Matrix just made you want to watch the movie.
Watched the trailer for civil war recently, and that has me interested without giving very much away
The trailer for Koe no katachi (A Silent Voice) is powerful and conveys its theme without spoiling anything (imho):
