I have a particular problem when it comes to upcoming films: I hear the premise, or see the trailer, and my imagination runs away with it and makes the movie I want to see rather than waiting to see what the filmmakers deliver. This almost always leads to disappointment, as much fun as it may be at the time ... I worry I will be unable to enjoy Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them when it finally comes out, because I've already made it into a thaumazoological adventure mashing up Indiana Jones and Road to Perdition, starring an eccentric English wizard in roaring 1920s New York and just enough great creature animation to complement the strong characters and engaging story. I've even imagined the poster. It's awesome

Never gonna happen.

The same thing happened yesterday at the release of the teaser for the next Avengersas I was watching it I was already leaping ahead and connecting dots that probably ought not to be connected, and injecting far too much wishful thinking. Will it be good? Probably. Will it be the film I expect it to be? Almost certainly not. But I drew up my reactions to it anyway, so you can see the phenomenon in action:
