Maybe they only rip up the postcard parts of Sydney
Have the comics ever had a mutant or other meta-human with phenomenal destructive powers, but only against iconic landmarks?
Because I suddenly want one. They'd obliterate Mt Rushmore with a sneeze, but not be able to scratch the average unremarkable building.

They'd be a villain with deep influence in the governing bodies that declare Historical Sites, to gradually spread their power. But their degree of influence over a specific location within that sphere of influence would be linked to the cultural prominence of the site. So they could make the Eiffel Tower explode so violently that the shockwave would push the moon out of orbit, but like the house that has a plaque on it that says Jimmy Carter lived there for part of his childhood, they could maybe give that building dry rot if they concentrated for a couple days.
Name possibilities: The Monumenace? The Landmarksman?

Name can't hint at what he does, because you need the 5-issue story arc about <SUPER TEAM> running around the world trying to chase down this terrifying new menace who's trying to intimidate nations into submission with massive displays of power, until ultimately they piece together enough clues to his secret and manage to engage him somewhere with no historical significance whatsoever - at which point he gets punched in the face once or twice and gives up.
His return plot arc starts with the prison he's in being declared a landmark.

Isn't, in some ways, what you guys are describing a sort of evil version of Power Man?
Like, he steals the emotional resonance/chi energy/whatever in these locations as a sort of power vampire, as opposed to attuning with the environment and using its power temporarily?

It looks super cheap and fake, like the "action" back half of that with characters in it all looks like some Lucas "filmed all on greenscreen sound stages" shit. And J. Law seems like she gives NO shits about this.
Oh, and Christ, I love Oscar Issac but this...everything about his look and performance...this might be the movie that drives me to dislike the man.
I hope it's just a shitty (series of, haven't liked any of them) trailer like Future and it's actually an alright movie but MAN.

Also oh my gosh you guys I am so excited for this X-Men movie
That trailer gives a much better plot outline than any of the other ones have, and I actually really like the sounds of where they're going with the plot and how it's negotiating that weird school vs paramilitary organization thing that the X-Men always have
Plus it has like, 3/5 of my favorite X-Men characters at this point
Also, there's an unexpected character coming back, probably in a pretty minor role, that I'm inexplicably excited about:
Many stories are told of Nathan Fillion castings. Ten percent of them are ninety-five percent true, fourteen percent of them are sixty-five percent true, thirty-five percent of them are only five percent true, and all the rest of them are… told by Nathan Fillion.
Nobody remembers the singer. The song remains.

Yes! He's just shopping at a Wal Mart, and Spider-man's there buying socks and he's like "Heeeeey... isn't that the guy? From the thing? At the place? OH CRAP", so he ducks into the dressing room and switches into his costume, and then busts out and fights the monument exploding guy!
But the guy's not a total pushover! He's got a trenchcoat full of gimmick weapons made from tourist souvenirs. Like, throwing darts made from little Washington Monuments, and Leaning Tower of Pisa nunchucks, and a fencing foil with a handle that looks like the Space Needle, and he chucks little Pyramid-caltrops all over, but Spidey doesn't care because he's not touching the ground anyway.
And then later Spidey has to break back into the Wal Mart, because he left his civilian clothes in a bundle webbed to the roof of the changing room, all his subway tokens are in his pockets, and he doesn't have enough web goo left to swing all the way back to his apartment.

Yeah but does New-York-616?

The actually interesting part of this to me is-- what is the context for this in a GOTG film?
The only thing that makes sense is a flashback, but that also doesn't make sense because there's a Tony Stark biopic
Tony Stark was already known as "the Merchant of Death."
If Steve Jobs can get a bio-pic, pre-hero Tony could too.
Right, but
Quill was abducted in the early/mid-eighties
Howard wasn't killed until the 90's and Stane ran the company for a bit before Tony came in, he wouldn't have been notorious enough for a movie until the late nineties
plus Tony was a little kid in the Stark Expo video, which was the early 70's

haha I didnt even think of that, and now I'M mad too.

MAN, I think that looks actively bad.
It looks super cheap and fake, like the "action" back half of that with characters in it all looks like some Lucas "filmed all on greenscreen sound stages" shit. And J. Law seems like she gives NO shits about this.

except psyloche, she looks terrible
Rumored, but not confirmed.

Of course, she only has two claws, but they could change that for the movies.
To be honest unless they go with 80s Metal I don't know a good 80s song that would fit with this trailer. Also, needs more neon.
But hey everyone else is cool. Should be fun.

so this can't be a flashback to Quill's childhood
It's not like the place is unheard of, presumably people know where it is.
But hey man Rocket Racoon and Drax and Gamora ain't give a fuck about no earth
