Considering what I've heard about that cat. Meme would be
"Missing an eye in 3....2....1...."

The cat is obviously more than a typical cat, the way it pushes Fury's hand away from its tag.
Hm. Better than the first trailer, but her delivery on the last line, 'I'm going to end it' was a let-down from the first half of the sentence, IMO. The delivery was too teen-valley-girl-ish. Still, the music is good - whoever cut this trailer made those lights go on in perfect sync with the percussion - and it's a first-rate production, from what I can see. Will watch it on DVD/Rental when it comes out that way.
One thing - she seems to bleed dark green, then they show a snippet of something green going into her as the voice-over says they made her like them. Did they replace all of her blood?

Yes, I think when they saved her life, there was a lot of medical that went into it. So, yes, she bleeds green.
The Skrulls (enemy of the Kree... who saved Danvers) are shape-shifters as are which ever alien beings have sent one of their own to hide as a cat (starts with an "F" I think). Would be really nice if they could have Jackman or someone in this one as Logan/Wolverine as he and Danvers were old friends.

One thing that bothered me - well, two things in the trailer but they're the same thing - the way Danvers treats Fury. I mentioned in another thread that SGT Fury (and his Howling Commandos) was a favorite character of mine (absolute fave from that series was DumDum Dugan) and I think I've seen enough of him during WWII to know that he isn't the idiot she's implying. 'Heroes. We're something-something... heroes.' 'Stop playing with the cat and come on.' The whole cat scene, in the trailer at least, makes Fury look like, "Ooh! Squirrel!" The cat scene was so out-of-left-field for Fury that it's like he's playing Jake Fury, not Nick Fury.
Now, maybe the writers were thinking to portray him as younger and, therefore, more naive, but they didn't do their homework on the character if so. I was offended.

Yep, he is younger (90s, remember?). He has hair, both of his eyes, is relatively new to S.H.I.E.L.D. and hasn't needed that emotional armor to develop yet. He still capable of that open trust. But, yeah, didn't see him as a cat person.
But, who knows, that may not make even actually make it into the movie.

I wish we'd see trailers that have scenes from the movies.
As for Fury, I didn't follow the character after the Howling Commandos comics disappeared from our local store, but as far as I know, he has a military background, having fought in a war (WWII in my universe). Someone who fought in a war isn't naive in the way they're presenting him in the trailer.

Movieverse Fury could (I think) be young enough to have fought in Operation: Desert Shield (which would have been apropos)in 1989 for his active duty part of his military resume and then went to SHIELD when Desert Shield became Desert Storm months later. And still been there for the Captain Marvel stuff. And, maybe, even that mention of Bogota by Pierce to Rogers in Winter Soldier (unless Pierce was lying, for what ever reason, about the dates of Bogota).
We fanfic folk are very good at explaining away continuity and time line errors. There is a group that writes Transformer fanfic and Michael Bay and company used the same actor, but for two sort of different characters in Transformers and Revenge of the Fallen. Both were Generals (I think Marines). So, the fanfic folks said they were twin brothers and explained why they had different last names as well.

Desert Shield started in late summer of 1990, Desert Storm started, IIRC, in January of 1991. Hubby went, and I was glued to CNN for the duration, except when I needed to work or sleep. Not sure when CPT Marvel takes place, but they still had Blockbusters. I'm thinking that maybe Fury could have been in Grenada, or in Panama. Grenada's Operation Urgent Fury, 1983: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_invasion_of_GrenadaPanama's Operation Just Cause, 1987-1994: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_invasion_of_PanamaU. S. military operations 1980-1989: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_military_operations#1980%E2%80%931989So, there are a few places he could have gotten wartime experience within the apparent time-frame of the CPT Marvel universe. |

Don't remember now where it was, but was doing research for a Transformer fic (you might get to see it it I ever finish it) one site said Operation Desert Shield began in mid to late 1989. I just know that I was in my first semester of junior college and had three Pern fandom friends that suddenly dropped off the face of the planet. One of them was my writing partner who, I later found out, spent most of that with a Puerto Rican National Guard unit. Their English was as bad as his Spanish (so, I thought of him during those scene in the first live action Transformers with the Special Ops unit that wound up fighting beside the Autobots later in the movie with their "English, dude" comments.)

Nope, it was the invasion of Kuwait that started it, and that was in the summer of 1990. I'm guessing people are going on memory - where was I, what was I doing, therefore it must have been about this year sort of thing. The internet wasn't as chock-full of factoids as it is now.
