Netflixhas now released a new trailer forThe Electric State. The trailer begins with a piece of propagandanarrated by Tucci’s character, Ethan Skate, who appears to be the movie’s villain. He explains that when the robots stopped following human commands, they were banished to an area known as the Electric State. The opening propaganda footage reveals Keats to be a soldier who fought against the robots during the rebellion. Nevertheless, Keats has now joined several robots and Millie as she searches for her brother. Check out the trailer below:

What This Means For The Electric State

It Is A Story About Regaining Humanity

The Electric State’s trailerprovides a better understanding of the world that is based on Simon Stålenhag’s graphic novelof the same name. It is not the robots, but humans like Tucci’s character, who are the villains in this world. His claim that he never trusted the robots, along with rounding them up and trapping them in a designated area, cements him as the primary antagonist. While the humans defeated the robots, it seems that many of them may have lost their humanity in the process.

Working with the robots and helping Millie to find her missing brother looks to be Keats' way of regaining the humanity that he lost when fighting during the robot uprising.

This is most apparent in Keats, a role that appears reminiscent of some ofChris Pratt’s best movies and television series. The staunchly anti-robot soldier featured in the opening footage isa far cry from the beaten-down man who joins Millie and several robots on their quest. Working with the robots and helping Millie to find her missing brother looks to be Keats' way of regaining the humanity that he lost when fighting during the robot uprising.
