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.

Avengers: Endgame

Ah, finally! The one Super Bowl trailer that did the absolute bare minimum to get us all excited didn’t disappoint in the slightest. What did it need to do, you might ask? Well, it needed to show us new footage presented to us in a compelling fashion, which is exactly what Marvel did here. It didn’t need to be long: It’s only 30 seconds and doesn’t even show us the full title of the film, but it does give us a glimpse of post-snap New York — the empty Citi Field and the abandoned boats around the Statue of Liberty, alongside our heroes’ collective depression goes a long way to establishing the tone here — and it gave us the most badass shot of the Super Bowl this year, as well, in which Captain America tightens his shield’s straps, giving us a hint of the purple ass-whooping to come. See how easy that is, everybody?
