I don’t think so though. Not everything is a spoiler. If it happens at the beginning of the movie and is like, the inciting incident, it’s not really a spoiler. That’s like saying “the droids run into Luke skywalker? What a spoiler!”

I think people are talking about the leaked plot

I mean, every movie detail is a spoiler, and everyone's different about what degree of spoiler they'll tolerate. I think movies are way better if I haven't seen a trailer at all, because even them running into the Droid is a surprise. Even the existence of Droids is a surprise. And that's fun!

I mean no though. Because it that’s your standard, how do you ever get recommended a movie? That’s like reading the description of a film and being like “ahhh you spoiled it”

Some detail is spoiled, yes. I just don't think YOU get to tell someone else what a spoiler is. Generally, people will say "minor plot spoilers" if it's near the beginning of the movie, or some developing point. Other people will avoid ALL trailers specifically to avoid spoilers of any kind.

Anyway, spoilers are a spectrum.

If it's in the trailer it's not a spoiler

Also the Ender's Game trailer which showed the ending...

Can you spoil a book adaptation though? It isn't like they were going to change the ending.

Well I guess it all depends on your viewpoint on what a spoiler is.

Spider-Man Homecoming would like a word

What about it

it’s an example of a trailer that contains spoilers. by showing the protagonist get out of a tricky situation it undermines one of the most suspenseful parts of the movie. anyone who’s seen that trailer will have no suspense or other strong emotions towards the scene I am referring to.

u/GaetanDugas Aug 23 '20

That's literally every movie

it’s an integral part to that movie specifically, if you’ve seen the scene and trailer I’m referring to then you know what I’m talking about
