All the Super Bowl LIII trailers, ranked

From 'Wonder Park' to 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark,' it was a pretty bad year for film and football fans

Between Adam Levine's ugly-ass chest tattoos and a "Sweet Victory" tease that pissed everybody off at halftime and the Los Angeles Rams total inability to advance the ball in any meaningful way for 60 minutes of excruciatingly bad football (especially for fans outside of New England), it's pretty safe to say that Super Bowl LIII was a disaster on almost every front [Editor's Note: Except for, you know, the Patriots winning the Super Bowl].

Even the trailers, a bellwether as to the evening's overall health, weren't that great -- some were undercut by big releases a few days before, others were for movies coming out in a week or so, others were 10 seconds long and therefore shorter than the Rams' time of possession -- but there were some that still excited and inflamed passions of the film fans in attendance at parties all over the country. We've compiled every trailer that aired during the Big Game for you in this article here, and ranked them from worst to best, for your viewing pleasure.

Alita: Battle Angel

Not a terrible trailer, but we’ve got to wonder why Fox decided to blow millions of dollars on advertising a movie that’s coming out in a week or two and whose near-release ad buys already ensured that anybody who turned to ESPN to watch Chris Berman and Randy Moss praise the Patriots would inevitably see a trailer for this movie. Still, we’re heartened by how the strong the advance word is on this one, and we can’t wait to see it. It’s also, perhaps, the introduction of the non-Papyrus Avatar font to the world at large, which is pretty funny.
