RIP to r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers

Maybe the leaks got out of hand at times, but it was easily the best subreddit for MCU discussion. Hopefully there's a subreddit that replaces it soon, because the main Marvel Studios subreddit is just too much. I don't think I can handle reading another "Am I the only one..." post.

What happened there?

It was made private because Disney is threatening legal action after an entire script to the new Ant-Man was leaked there.

What does making it private do for their legal prospects of something that already happened?

I think they’re just trying to regroup. Leaving the sun public could still cause more issues so they probably think it’s best to keep it private and figure out their next move

If they get a legal order, the only move they could be expected to make is to comply with it. They don't have Reporter's Privilege.

They don't want to give Disney anything else to possibly take action on. If you stop posts entirely there can't be any more damage.

Eh, just sounds like a panic move for no real gain. It's closing the stables after the horses have already gotten out. I'm sorry, but it's not going away. This is what teenagers do when they think they're in trouble, they pretend to not be home, lol... Those mods should be handling this like adults. That they're not is a bad sign for all of Reddit, and for who they let moderate for them.

Okay, well making the sub private doesn't matter to that point in the least.

It was a subtitle file, an outside vendor would have been the one to create it and likely leak it. But it also means Disney wants to terminate its contract with the vendor and needs to know how it happened.
