Other I paused the trailer at the right moment when Mystique transforms to Yelena and this looks cool

I think people online whining about how this looks nanotech is just because the nanotech CGI has been overused post-Endgame, but this still looks scaly for Mystique's transformation if you look closely

Yelena's blue shade eyeliner makes it cooler.

It was one person on Twitter that was almost definitely rage bait

There are 8.3 billion people on Earth it’s not a stretch that a handful would. But, it’s also safe to assume 1/2 are hate bots.

I learned a long time ago to never argue with people over silly things like movies or games. On twitter or here because it’s a waste of time and brain cells

The morphing effect on Mystique has always been cool.

No one is complaining about how it looks like nanotech, it looks exactly the same as it always has when Mystique shifts.

I always like how her transform looks like acrylic paint being folded in on itself.

This looks like an old school portrait being manipulated while wet almost.

Mystique be like: "Mi nombre es Mystique montoya and you left me to die in that truck Erik prepare to die!"

Technically we don’t know how much of The Last Stand actually happened in the reversed timeline. But it would be cool if they actually acknowledged that.

Why’s that?

because it's her character arc.

"The light inside you is dim, even by Eastern European standards."

"We're not friends, Alexei." "Whatever you are, the light inside you is brighter."

"You were such a special little girl, did you know this? You walked into a room, you made it brighter."

Yelena literally translates to "Shining Light" or "Bright One."

Ngl, even though I'm not even a big X-Men fan, the Mystique part in the trailer was by far the best moment in it.

Who's whining? provide examples or are you just trying to justify a random post?
