[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8392282, member: 6879661"] So I’ve seen about 50% of those spoilers you’re talking about there. So I guess I’ve got the rest to look forward to. Or rather, I did. This isn’t necessarily about gotcha’s or film-hinging-twists. It’s about someone not telling you what’s gonna happen in a film you want to watch in advance… or if they want to talk about it, at least giving some advance warning to give people the chance to cover their ears/eyes. A film based on a twist may or may not be good. There are lots of objectively good films that do have twists though… and I think people should be able to enjoy them without spoilers if that’s what they want. You say the burden shouldn’t be on us to police what we say? Where does the burden lie then? How can someone, who doesn’t want to know how endgame ends avoid that fate? You’ve said you don’t need to warn people in advance through the thread title, or by pre-warning people so they can’t just avoid threads that are discussing the film. You could just drop the spoilers into any conversation because you don’t feel you should be constrained. I think it’s a bit old fashioned to think that shows have a time bound period of relevance any more. Streaming, Amazon prime etc means we no longer expect to watch things on terrestrial TV when it’s released. Any film is available any time. [/QUOTE]
