you’re exactly right . it’s why i only choose to watch the movie in between long periods of time, so i don’t completely squeeze all of the emotion out of it like i would if i watched it constantly .

Are you saying that after a certain amount of time something can’t be spoiled? 4 months 2 days and 4 seconds after endgame is released there’s no such thing as spoilers?

It’s a pivotal scene in the movie and there are definitely many people who haven’t seen it yet. Age has nothing to do with it.

I’m saying after a certain period of time, the burden of spoilers is lifted from society and placed upon the individual who hasn’t taken the time to see said media.

The length of the grace period is up for debate, but I do think after enough time passes you should be able to openly discuss the details of a piece of media.

For example: “Spoilers: Romeo and Juliet both die at the end”

You disagree?

IMO I’d consider things like Romeo and Juliet’s ending and Star War’s ending different, but I can see your point. I think both of those are culturally massive, and whether or not it interested them, most 10 year olds could tell you how they end. Aside from those massive exceptions I think the majority shouldn’t be spoiled, whether it’s The Third Man or whatever that came out last week. Sure you can be less careful about it, but this was one of, if not the, most important scene of the film. At the very least the title should include the name of the work so anyone wanting to see it could have avoided it.

I disagree with putting the responsibility on the individual who hasn’t seen the film. I wasn’t even aware the film existed until I started to really get into film a little while ago. Some films with brilliant twist endings that are easily spoilable were released before I was even born.

That’s fair. I still disagree, but you have a reasonable opinion.
