Reactions To 'The Fate Of The Furious' Trailer

My thoughts about the new Fast and Furious Trailer

Reactions To 'The Fate Of The Furious' Trailer
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

I love the Fast and Furious Series and it is one of my absolute favorites. I have loved each movie more with each new release even "Furious 7," the one that broke my heart. The one that I cried when it ended for obvious reasons (Brian O'Connor driving off into the sunset, knowing that Paul Walker would never grace the silver screen again.)

Yesterday, "The Fate of the Furious" (Furious 8) trailer was finally released after over a year's worth of waiting. I've been excitedly awaiting the release of the new trailer and after watching it I have some seriously mixed emotions about it.

"The Fate of the Furious" is a whole new game compared to the previous 7 films. In the movie, Dom turns on the one thing that means more to him than anything else. Family. Hobbs, the one usually doing the hunting, is thrown in prison and plot twist (not really) Dom is once again being hunted by Hobbs. To me, even the idea of Dom turning on his family infuriates me and makes me not want to see the movie. I will definitely see the movie even though in the back of my mind I'll be mad about them choosing this plotline. I cannot ever imagine Dom turning on his family and I am honestly shocked that this was the plotline selected.

I both love and hate the new trailer but, I can only hope that Dom returns to his family for good. I don't expect Furious 8 to do as well as the others mainly because of this huge plot twist and because Paul Walker is gone. But I might be surprised about how well it turns out. Who knows. I can understand why the producers had to make such a drastic change because of the loss of Paul and also a main character, so that the franchise could continue to succeed and do well, but I do wish it hadn't been this drastic.I wish that in some way (and they might've done it) F8 will show how the family is adjusting to working without Brian and Mia, and maybe even a brief scene or two featuring Mia begging Dom not to turn on the family. With the release of this trailer I defintely am questioning the entire movie and if its worth seeing, but the only way to get my questions answered is to go to the Midnight Premeire in April 2017. Until my questions are answered I'll just fill the agonizing wait with the 7 other films.

I'll just leave this here. The franchise won't be the same without Paul Walker, but I can't wait to see what Vin Diesel has come up with as an actor and a producer.

Movies 9 and 10 have been tentatively scheduled to release in 2019 and 2021, respectively.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
