It's been like that since The Sixth Sense.

Because modern media relies on the shock value of major twists to entertain an audience.
Adam Reyes
Because Eren and Zeke (beast titan) are brothers
Sasha dies
Erwin dies
Bertolt dies
Armin inherits the Collosal
Eren attacks Reiner's homeland
Levi gets greviously wounded by Zeke
Historia grts knocked up by a random farmer

It’s just marketing and hype spun up by studios. Spoilers used to mean something but nowadays they will say any predictable shit is a “spoiler”. Like in Avengers the bad guy dying is now a “spoiler”. As if we didn’t expect that shit.

Because the best way to enjoy something the first time is to know as little about it as is reasonably possible.

Cause incels actively use spoilers to troll people. You see it on Yea Forums all the time (especially from seething DCfags).
Sebastian Murphy
Shoo shoo zoomer
Samuel Garcia
yet so many trailers basically skin you through the entire fucking movie. they also make the most predictable shit in history these days
Nicholas Howard
Why do trailers exist then?
Jack Rodriguez
why does 4channel not have anonymize but Yea Forums does?

Today's stories have nothing to offer other than a mechanical rearrangement of characters and settings, no poetry no abstract themes no artistry. A modern movie is a sequence of events and once that sequence is understood there's just nothing left to say
A good story is still good even if you know what's going to happen

So it can be more like its sister site, reddit. Get hyped for the next feature, karma points, it will be very cool!

>Why do trailers exist then?
Trailers exist to inform you about a movie and get you to go see it. That's why I said "as little as reasonably possible." I know it's not reasonable to know nothing about a movie, otherwise how would you know you want to see it? But many trailers go way too far and show you every major story beat and leave nothing for you to discover.
Yeah, it's a real problem. I blame all those retarded "studies" that "proved" how people "enjoy movies more when they're spoiled." The basis of them is that people feel less stress while watching a movie when they know what the outcome will be, and of course stress is bad, right? Apparently those researchers never heard of the concept of tension or that people enjoy feeling those stressful tense feelings so they can be relieved later in the movie. But ever since those studies happened I noticed more and more trailers spoiling movies more completely and more news coverage that's just loose with spoilers and shit.

6th sense is probably the last movie I've seen where I'd have been annoyed if it got spoiled
Imagine caring if Captain Quip died in memewar
Who fucking gives a shit?
Connor Smith
Because modern marketing brainwashes people in convincing them that each product is an essential life experience. By spoilering they think you robbed them of an important part of their lifes.
Nolan Hernandez
I have no idea what any of that means
Camden Butler
some trailers reveal so fucking much that 6 months or a year later i'll see the movie on tv, netflix etc and think i already saw it.
Landon Jones
Used to be a retard geek thing that everyone scoffed at anyone who gave a shit about spoilers, but now that geek is chic then everyone overplays the importance of not being spoiled. TBBT did a joke about spoilers when Sheldon threw a fit because someone spoiled the ending of a comic book, so that pretty much cemented the paradigm shift.
Brandon Parker
There cannot seriously still be people who give a shit about that series.
Chase Mitchell
I've had that happen to me, too. It's a weird feeling.

reminder to report and filter this psychotic reddit shill.
tripfags are gay even when they aren't literally Russian IRA shills
but this tripfag is big gay
Angel Miller
they've always been touchy retard, but with the Internet it's much more common to run into them now
Jeremiah Harris
what media are you even talking about
Charles Long
Escapism is the dominant passtime now. When it was still a niche interest the medium of choice was a novel, so spoilers practically non-existent. The audience was also generally more intelligent for the same reasons.
Every notably popular production since the mid-2000s has been fantasy or sci-fi, before it was all realism: Friends, Titanic, Gone With the Wind, etc.

i try to avoid trailers not only because they completely ruin everything by showing all the “best” bits, but because of the way they’re edited. they will literally cut a character saying three words in three different scenes together to get him to say something like “let’s do this”, and then in the movie he’ll never actually say it. trailers are cancerous trash designed to stimulate a dumb person with flashy images, music popular at the time of release, and wacky characters saying and doing wacky things. there are good trailers, sure, but most of them completely ruin the movie they represent.
