well
we put the song in from those Batman games
from a few years back?
something about not being a place for a hero?
dude, that song is awesome
'cause
like
you do get to be a hero
you don't get that in life
in life you go to a job, your job follows you home, you do laundry, your laundry does you, you got no time to exercise, but you get all exercised over not having time to exercise, you suck at driving, but you try to drive safe, but you still crash, or someone crashes into you, so you give public transport a chance, but you resent that, even though it's better all the way 'round, and you get used to all this tedium, this over-and-over-again-ness of existence
but all the while
you're looking for the way out
right?
that's what the trailer is
it calls you to a better place
a Batman place at best
but we're not doing Batman
but if we use that Short Change Hero song
I knew I'd remember the title if I gave it a minute
but we use the Batman Change Hero Song
maybe people will think that it's Batman
even though it's not
but you just get 'em through the door
that trailer can be the door
build that sense of possibility, that hype-
look
all things disappoint
ultimately
most people don't finish the games they buy
this we know
even brilliant games
even best games of all times
the best reviewed games
even the tastiest bubblegum
right?
loses its flavor
that's why the trailer
that most potent vehicle of hope and anticipation
is
the truest and most beautiful
deliverable
in this life, at any rate
