That's the spirit gun in the top left. Which is about all I know from YuYu Hakusho.
Still lost on wtf that promo is for.
Anyways,
Jamie Lee Curtis Calls 'Halloween Ends' A 'Cathartic' Bookend To Her 'Final Girl' Role
One of horror cinema's most enduring "final girls," the actor reflected on more than four decades of portraying Laurie Strode — the "Halloween" babysitter stalked by Michael Myers.
The Avatar Deleted Scene That Would've Set Up The Sequel - SlashFilm
The scene never made it past the previsualization stage, but fast forward 13 years, and now we're looking down the barrel of The Way of Water.

Letting people know they're making a live-action adaption of the anime/manga, Yu Yu Hakusho. It's not that hard to figure out.
It kinda is if you’ve never heard of it.
Could they try something simpler like Azumanga Daioh or something to see if they can even get a slice-of-life comedy right before launching into yet another big special effects fantasy/sci-fi holy cow after the disasters of their previous attempts?
And who or what is Yu Yu Hakusho when it’s at home?
Well, wouldn’t Azumanga Daioh just be any remotely not insipid tween/teen drama cartoon? Or on its better days, old school Degrassi?
I still say Gunsmith Cats is the way to go. Or if you’ve got real cash money to spend; Bubblegum Crisis. It’s either hot chick bounty hunters/gunsmiths in a cool car OR what if Blade Runner but also Iron Man as four hot chicks. Both concepts broadly familiar to many audiences.
I'm being generous by suggesting they try safety scissors because I barely trust them to manage that.
Now you know it exists. The strategy works.
Yu Yu "Motherfuckng" Hakusho! Can you dig iiitttttt?!
I like your thinking, but I rather trust Robert Rodriguez or Issac Florentine with either IP, than Netflix. The former two are by no means bad. Both directors know exactly what they're doing whenever making a film. RR especially could make a great BC movie. Florentine would be better at making a GC movie, but he would put more fist fighting in it. Which is why he should direct the now in production, Streets of Rage movie.
True, but someone still had to explain what it meant, because it was just a collection of unfamiliar images with no hint of a title. So really, it only works for people already familiar with it, and anyone else would have to do a reverse image lookup or something if they cared to even go that far in the first place.
I mean, yeah, If I looked up "Finger gun, rose, white cloth strips and blue....toga....robe?" I'm pretty sure google would just get confused and send me somewhere really wierd.
I read the previous posts before, and now reading yours again I realise I've totally forgotten whatever it was it was for, so maybe not. Actually, there seems to be a lot of that around nowdays, ads I can remember, but not whatever the product was, though maybe that's just me.
There’s also a site called Tineye that will search for references based on an uploaded/linked image, but results can vary.
I understand not knowing much of it but am I really on a forum of nerds that were alive during the 90's that don't even know the most tangential of things about Yu Yu Hakusho?
Edit: And I say this as someone who also hasn't ever watched Yu yu Hakusho. I've just seen it referenced or be in commercials and advertising enough to know at least surface level things.

You're right, but still gets people talking or looking up when curious. You being an example right now.
Even most casual anime fans know about Yusuke's iconic Spirit Gun. I know you don't know, nor watch all anime either, so I don't blame you. The guy with the blue is named Kuwabara. What he's holding is the top half of his gakuran. School uniforms for Japanese teenagers. The man holding the rose is Kurama, and the guy wearing the white cloth strip is Hiei. Now you are well acquainted.
