    I think it starts with the “Oh shit, get excited for what you’re about to watch” opening. I know what I’m about to watch, I chose that.

    For that part, blame Google. They use the trailers as ads on other videos on YouTube, but given the length it can only be the “skip after 5 seconds” kind. So they include as much as they can in the first 5 unskippable seconds and then put the rest of the trailer after. Otherwise, people just skip the ad during the MPAA notice and production credits and don’t have to see what it’s even an ad for.
