in Lights, Camera, Action!
Some people want to experience tv and movies completely new, seeing everything for the first time while watching. Others don't.

For me, it depends on the tv show or movie. If it's a movie I don't plan on seeing or something I wouldn't go out of my way to see (Transformers 4, TMNT), then I'll check out some spoilers to see if it's worth watching.

But if it's something I know for a fact that I'm going to watch (Batman v. Superman, Mockingjay) then I want to know bare minimum.

Should people who post spoilers be banned (Suicide Squad spoilers specifically)?

    Comic book movies idc...how can you be spoiled when some of the source material is damn near half a century old?

    Other stuff it depends...like tv shows i usually don't wana know anything. The general direction a season is going is about as far as i wana know. HOWEVER shows like masters of sex or the americans that are based on real people/events or other shows that just have really good writing and not much action like that...I'll see what's coming up next cuz the bulk of the show is how ? goes down, not necessarily what goes down.

    ? like game of thrones tho...i will ? somebody up. Don't tell me ? .

    cs gabi.

    Movies i dont mind getting some spoilers out of. especially comicbook movies. Spoilers help me decide if i want to fork out the money to experience it in a big theater. I hate TV spoilers though.

    Couldn't care less. If i see a spoiler and i don't want to know, I don't click it....

    If I start reading something, then realise it's a spoiler, I stop reading.

    I usually don't come into threads until I'm halfway through the episode.

    Just because you know what is going to happen, you don't know how it is going to happen or portrayed.

    The source material is old. Not the adaptions. Every studio, WB, Fox, Sony, Universal, Marvel, every one of them have taken drastic libterties with the source material to give the audience a freshly new experience.

    Most movies are predictable in that we know:

    1. The hero wins
    2. The protagonist gets the girl
    3. The villian loses
    4. The antagonist gets their comeuppance
    5. In the event that there is a potential sequel, certain story threads will not be resolved

    Those things you can't possibly spoil because we know that they happen. I'm talking about particular story nuances, character appearances/actions, and set pieces that make each movie or tv show unique. The things where if you see it before you're supposed to, then see it when it comes out, you think to yourself, "Damn... I kinda wish I hadn't seen that part already." because it takes the impact out of the moment for you.

    It's like being a kid and being told what gifts you're getting for Christmas months beforehand. You're still looking toward to getting the gifts, but if for nothing else the same of surprise, there is nothing left to be desired other than getting your hands on what you already know you'll eventually have anyway.

    ehhh...

    i mean, the best example i can think of is the walking dead comic vs the show. There are going to be people that have watched/read both and some that just watch the show

    As a comic book reader, i think not spoilering future events especially if they havent completely deviated from the source material altogether is a ? move. Some of us still like to be surprised

    but a show like GOT, i aint reading all those damn books so i dont mind reading proposed theories on stuff even if its a leaked script
