Factual Other

The first full-length trailer for The Rings of Power was released by 2022-07-14.

Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.

Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?

What would count as true or false

Judged as of 2022-07-14. True: a full-length trailer for The Rings of Power was officially released on or by that date, and it was the first full-length trailer (released at or around that date, for example in July 2022). Mostly true: it was released on or by that date, but its 'first' status is debatable because of earlier teasers. Mostly false: only teasers had been released by that date and the full trailer came later. False: no trailer of the series had been released by that date.

Set before the research began.

Reasoning

GeekWire, an independent source, reported on 2022-07-14 that Amazon released the first full-length trailer for the series that Thursday, and that Bezos tweeted it (E1, E2). Earlier material existed: a 1-minute Super Bowl spot in February 2022, which GeekWire called the "first official trailer" (E3) and Know Your Meme called a teaser (E4). That February spot was short, though, so it does not undercut the claim that the July trailer was the first full-length one. The proposition therefore holds as of 2022-07-14.
