Pause, Rewind: Ranking the film and television trailers that aired during Super Bowl LI

Holy shit, what a Super Bowl.

The greatest quarterback of all time leads the greatest comeback of all time on the biggest stage of all, and New England comes home with another championship. It’s easy to forget that a ton of new movie trailers dropped during the game, but as we all catch our collective breaths and swim through a cultural sea of hot takes, Vanyaland has you covered with a ranked recap of what millions saw but maybe already forgot.

Now, thank Jesus Christ most of these ads aired in the first three quarters, because if they’d aired in the fourth quarter (or -- gasp! -- in overtime) we probably wouldn’t have paid any attention. It’s also a little bit bullshit that most of these ads are online in their extended forms, but what the hell. Let’s hope that doesn’t become a trend.

We’re absolutely astonished that this is only a month away from hitting theaters. Sweet Mary does this movie look intense as fuck, and we have to feel bad for all the 10 year olds watching when they saw that R-rating at the end of the ad. For those of us who grew up with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, it’s hard to imagine a better send off for the character he’s played for seventeen years now, and we’re sure, come March 3, there won’t be a dry eye at the comic book store.
