My thoughts are that it would have been a nice surprise
This is a thought I had for Hulk being in ragnarok. That would have been an amazing surprise in the move theater.
Oh boy it was an amazing surprise for me. I hadn't been keeping up with the Marvel films and my friends invited me to Thor: Ragnarok (I hadn't seem the first two).
I was absolutely flabbergasted to see the Hulk there. I was like "What the fuck is he doing here! This is awesome!"
Sometimes it's great to be out-of-the-loop
Same. Haven't seen anything about the movie yet and this post spoiled it.
I didn't care much for the first one, so likely wasn't going to see this - but I do agree. Stuff like this is a nice surprise to find out in the movie, though I'm certain there are people that were not going to see this film previously that now will because of this. Hoping for their sake it's not a 3 second little easter egg, haha.
I felt similarly for when Captain America: Civil War advertised Spider-Man.
I feel like it was supposed to be a surprise, hence the almost total lack of StarFox stuff in the trailers, but then people who looked really carefully at the trailer noticed a leg that looks like Fox's and posted it all over social media, so Illumination (and Nintendo maybe) decided to embrace the publicity.
On an personal sidenote, when Nintendo and Illumination announced their partnership, I threw together an outline of how I would do it. I would have adapted Galaxy as the grand finale, and would have also brought in Team StarFox (and also the Triforce bearers). Heh.
Anyway, I kind of suspect they're doing Galaxy precisely because it lets them introduce the StarFox characters relatively seamlessly. The heroes chase Bowser across the galaxy, somebody says they're going to need help, and Rosalina says she knows just the team... Then if reception is positive, they can spin off Team StarFox into their own movies.
Hmm. Perhaps the second Zelda movie will see Samus land in Hyrule.
