I'd bet the people that most vehemently against the 1st trailer are those "fans" that only care for a TF media presented to them "their way" and just plain refuse to try and/or support anything too different from what they hope for.
The non-fans proabably just care whether trailer(s) show them if there's enough appeal for kids but got enough plot for the adults to also have a good time. And on that, I think the 1st trailer was... fine? At least that's what I think why the 1st trailer is too saturated wiht jokes.
I have friends who are non-fans that have dismissed the movie entirely based on the first trailer, saying it looked like it was too much "Marvel humor" for them. The movie itself isn't very bad, but I remember having the same impression of the first trailer.
I think the trailer probably did more damage for non-fans than it did for fans. Fans are invested in the property and may see the movie despite the trailer, but if non-fans don't like the trailer that can kill any and all interest in the movie.
