Went to a movie theater and saw a trailer for a movie where I was interested in the first 30 seconds of it, but the trailer then showed what looked like something probably from the last 10 minutes and spoiled the entire movie, so lost all interest.
So what movies come to mind as having done really good, where it makes you interested and gives you an idea of the movie, but doesn’t ruin any big reveals?
For one, tons of people learn about “well known” movies for the first time literally every day. The world isn’t some static thing were everyone knows everything all the time. Furthermore, what’s so hard about just typing “spoiler warning about [x movie]” before talking about critical plot elements? Just a quick heads up to people that are being cautious about it. It’s such a minor thing to do just to be thoughtful, and people always freak out about the suggestion as if it’s some monumental task.
I mean, I get it, it’s a nice thing to do. People who do it care about others. But the flip side of that isn’t “these people don’t care about others.” It’s just that it’s not expected after a while. See what I’m saying?
You’re right, it’s a nice thing to do. But it’s not really something we can get up in arms over after a certain point.
Wow, yeah. That really is just unhinged. How dare they have said something like that? 🙄
Um…did you read what I said?
Yes, I did. You’re very committed to painting a basic, mild request as something pointless and unreasonable to ask of others, which is so backwards it’s absurd. Thinking for 2 seconds about how what you say can affect those around you isn’t some big ask. It shouldn’t even have to be asked. It should be bog standard for anyone interacting in society.
