Black Adam Moments That Really Upset Fans The Most

There's a lot at play in the plot of "Black Adam," from the plight of the Kahndaq citizens to the JSA's mission to detain Black Adam, and even the main man himself coping with the reality of living in a world 5,000 years removed from his own. Overall, though, the narrative itself is a rather by-the-books approach as far as superhero cinema is concerned. Despite Black Adam having no qualms with killing, he still comes to the realization that he has a duty to uphold. Nowadays, it's pretty hard to make an unpredictable superhero film, but that doesn't change the fact that we can still enjoy the ride.

With that in mind, when trailers spoil what little revelations a movie still has to offer, it can be a tad infuriating for fans. This is one element of modern marketing that is becoming rampantly problematic for the film industry. All too often, trailers are being criticized for showing too much. The film eventually unveils that Teth-Adam wasn't the original champion selected by the council of wizards. We learn that his son was granted the honor, but sacrificed the power to save his father and died for it. 

Most would've been surprised by the revelation if it weren't for the trailer already spoiling this fact. Redditor mcfuddlebutt shared some of their most disliked elements of the film. One major detractor was "trying to play his son dying as a plot twist when they literally advertised it as the story." Another Redditor, shadowst17, wrote, "They even turned the 'I was the father not the son' into a reveal even though it's literally mentioned in the trailer."
