Seb and Charles are so similar and different when it comes to Ferrari. The team was a dream for both of them. They wanted to be in Ferrari, and ofc, their goal was a championship.
For Seb it was a dream, a thing he physically wanted. And in his 6(?) seasons with them, he always fell short. But just that much, it was just out of reach. He knew he could win if he truly wanted to, he did it four times with Red Bull. And despite everything, he just kept trying. Per his words "The target to win the championship with Ferrari, I have failed, I didn't, I didn't manage to do that"
I always take the use of the words "I have failed" a lot stronger snd more personal than "I didn't succeed", cause it shows more...inner personal conflict with the inability to complete the task/goal they have set out to do, that they wanted to do. At least that it how I tend to perceive things like that.
Then there is Charles. There are many personally important reasons he strives towards Ferrari and continues to stay with them despite the poor performance. Because of Jules, because of his father. He told his dad on his death bed that he signed with Ferrari because he knew that is what his dad wanted, despite the fact Charles hadn't been signed at that point. Jules was in the Ferrari Academy, and was set to get a Ferrari seat in the future if things didn't go the way it did. Both of those people are dead. And Ferrari is a link to them, one I strongly doubt he will ever get rid of.
And ofc, the goal is a championship. But unlike Seb, I think it feel like something he needs to do. To fulfill the legacy set out for him. And he hasn't, he can't (for now). Ferrari continues to let him down, over and over again. Like Seb, he takes that inability to win very personally. Like a dream that was physically impossible to ever fulfill, despite the fact it realistically should be.

Something so important to me about Kabru is the way so many of his experiences with humans parallel Laios', and yet they ended up with exact opposite feelings about them. Laios loves monsters, Kabru hates them. Laios wished he was a monster (so he wouldn't have to deal with people who hated him), Kabru grew up believing he already was one (his father being an incubus would explain why people hated him). Laios is aware that people tend not to like him, so he's given up on trying to endear himself to them. Kabru is aware he doesn't fit in anywhere he goes, and is desperate to trick people into thinking otherwise. When Laios was a kid he would fantasise about the exact type of event that ruined Kabru's life.
Laios loves monsters, and he excells at killing them. Kabru is exactly the same for people, despite having every opportunity to choose to hate them instead.

regarding the shot of homura (or at least a homura, we have established that there is more than one of those in this movie) with the pocket mirror in the new trailer
the writing is "dumme venus". dumme is a german word meaning "fool" or "sucker", while "venus" obviously refers to venus, the goddess of love and beauty. i just thought that was interesting, given that homura's whole thing post-rebellion is that she became who she is now because of love (as supported by wraith arc, rebellion, and her image song mebius ash)
