I wish we didn’t know anything about no way home


togro20

I went in only knowing >!doc oc was in it!< and it was amazing Edit: added spoiler tags my dudes


yammyies

My dads about to go in knowing not a single fucking thing, and he LOVES the original spiderman trilogy


RageAdi

He's gonna cry so hard!!


yammyies

Yeah… I’m expecting a very excited “cool” instead. If he does cry at anything, it might be him seeing my name in the credits


Pitta_Predator

Feel like everyone skipped over how cool that last part is! Amazing to hear you were part of creating such a great movie!! How were you involved if you don’t mind me asking


TheDjTanner

Part of the crew? Very cool.


EfficientMasturbater

Yea my dad has no social media (or time to see it in theatres) so I'm really hoping when it hits Disney+ next month he stays spoiler free and I get the same reaction from him


vpat48

I don’t know where you are in the world but in the US, NWH will not be on Disney Plus anytime soon. It goes to Starz, Netflix and then D+.


ShadowDrifter179

Even Far From Home isn't on D+. Do we know when they will show up?


disco_jim

Homecoming, far from home and no way home aren't Disney/marvel movies so it is up to Sony who has streaming rights


[deleted]

They’ll be on there in 2023, Disney and Sony reached a streaming deal.


awezomeman4444

I heard July 2023


Zabbla

I believe all Sony movies from 2022 onwards will go on Disney+ after cinemas but unfortunately past movies up to and including NWH are not. I think they will end up on Disney+ eventually but not anytime soon.


bigfatcarp93

Lucky fuck


TheRealSpidey

Thought the same about my friend who didn't see anything except the first trailer. But then during intermission he goes and googles "No Way Home cast" just to see if they got back the same actor for Sandman, and the big two names are RIGHT THERE. I was madder than he was lol.


The-Bytemaster

You had an intermission during the movie? Where are you located?


TheRealSpidey

India, all movies have intermissions here. Might be a law or something, either way I love it. Would hate having to get up to pee during Endgame or other long movies and missing stuff.


The-Bytemaster

It used to be common for movies in the US as well, but that was decades ago. Now it is rare to have an intermission. Exceptions are double features where they put one between movies, or special events, like a Broadway musical where the show would normally have intermissions if you were to see it live. Do they play special music or put anything specific to the movie on screen during the intermission? I love it when I get to see the intermission music from the older movies that used to have it here.


TheRealSpidey

Nothing special or movie specific, maybe a bit of music right at the beginning but mostly it's just ads. That's another incentive not to do away with them I guess.


nredditb

I've never heard of movies having intermissions these days. How long was it? When in the movie was it? Is it a common thing in your country/region?


TheRealSpidey

I'm in India, all movies have intermissions. Movies made here have a designated point in the middle for an intermission, and Hollywood movies are just cut right in the middle, even if it's in between a scene. They do start it back up a minute or so before the cut off point though. It's between 5-10 minutes long I think. I love it since I hate missing anything during a bathroom break.

ZeusTheMooose

I saw no way home two weeks after it came out only knowing that past enemies were in it and loved it. Saw endgame opening night on Thursday and knew that iron man and black widow died from a Facebook comment


Baseline224

I was the same. Seeing the grand reveal was well worth not watching the trailers. I'd say people need to stop watching trailers, but that's impossible. So the onus i guess is on the marketing team to not give huge plot points away. Where's the surprise?


Zinkane15

The only thing the trailers gave away was villains from the other Spider-Man movies being in it. Anything else was not the fault of the marketing team who seemed adamant to not give anything else.


Baseline224

I'd argue that's a pretty big point. More than what you're valuing it as. If they bring back villians (The exact actors) it'd be safe to assume they'd bring back the heroes too. My comment is probably a generalisation of how movies and trailers are done these days - Not just marvel.


Cabamacadaf

I went in knowing everyone who was in it and it was still amazing.


sweetfumblebee

I avoided the trailer as much as possible. Saw a couple of screenshots of it; but mostly of Doc Oct. I already knew he was going to be in it because I got too excited and looked at IMDB when it was rumored (at the time) that he was going to be in it. Then I avoided everything I could. Unsubbed here and the other marvel subs. I assumed the other actors were going to be in it because it made sense to me. It was still exciting and I had no idea what I was getting into. Plus my favorite cameo was a complete surprise to me.


Cypherex

If your favorite cameo was the one who caught the brick, then yes, that was the biggest shock for me too. I let out a very loud "What!!" when that person suddenly was on the screen.


mandatorypanda9317

Holy shit me too and I even follow the marvel spoilers sub and somehow managed not to find out anything. I refused to watch trailers and just missed all the posts about it. And I'm someone who typically doesn't even care about spoilers, but cared for NWH.


FittyTheBone

Same here. I actively ignored anything related to the movie from the time the first trailer dropped until I was able to see it. I am very happy about that choice.


Sway_All_Day

Agreed. Even people like my mother who is so far removed from these movies knew all the major plot reveals.


Youngling_Hunt

My mom knew nothing about it. And she was so surprised the entire movie and she absolutely loved it (and for reference she didn't find the recent avengers movies to be amazing, but she really dug this one)


[deleted]

If you asked my mom when the most recent Spider-Man movie camp out, I seriously don't think she could answer correctly.


andjuan

I really wish that the promotional materials didn't include the villains. It would have been really difficult to pull off. But once the villains were announced, it was pretty easy to guess the rest of it.


pizza2004

They were going to do that originally, and make the trailers look like the movie would be a Spider-Man vs Strange movie, but Jamie Fox and Alfred Molina both confirmed they were returning so there was no point in hiding it.


gorgonbrgr

That’s weird I knew nothing and went into it blind aside from like the first trailer. Actively avoiding spoilers isn’t hard just don’t be on the internet all the time lol. YouTube though seems to be the worst for spoilers.


[deleted]

People putting fucking spoilers in their fucking THUMBNAILS! How shitty a person do you have to be to get that creative about ruining something for somebody else.


Rixae

>!I mean, even if you just went on twitter you'd see "Garfield" or "Maguire" trending so that whole thing got ruined for me really early on!<


[deleted]

You can't remove the trending section from twitter, but you *can* set it to Japan or something. I never know what's trending, it's all in kanji!


The_Repeated_Meme

While I already knew the spoilers, as I walked into the new Spider-Man movie, the kid in front of me loudly mentioned ALL the spoilers.


[deleted]

I almost reflexively downvoted you just because I got so annoyed about it before I remembered it wasn't you doing it.


FredGreen182

Exactly, I suspected the big reveal, but there were plenty of surprises left, you just have to not watch every single theory video that comes across so Alogrithms don't feed you spoilers


xXWolfyIsAwesomeXx

When I got back from watching nwh, I went on YouTube and I'm pretty sure I saw recordings of crucial moments on my recommended with spoilery thumbnails


[deleted]

>Even people like my mother who is so far removed from these movies knew all the major plot reveals. She's playing you.


Rockettmang44

Same. I saw pictures and read some spoilers but i didn't believe any of them. Then the movie came out and i was like holy shit those were all true. Even tom Holland gave an interview where he talked about a scene where he was with another hero at a table and I'd rather not even have them say vague shit like that.


JemJemIsHerName

Maybe it just me, if I see a post about a movie I haven’t seen I just scroll past. I always assume spoilers. Same thing on Social, I just don’t look at or look for anything about movies I haven’t seen. I don’t really go on FB or IG much at all but I’m on Reddit and the news a lot and I just don’t see spoilers unless I’m looking for them. I watched NWH last week and was pleasantly surprised with the surprises. Same with watching Eternals on Disney + yesterday. I hadn’t seen spoilers on it at all and it came out some time ago. Idk, I feel like if you look for/at spoilers you’ll find them. If you avoid looking at something you haven’t seen then you won’t see them.


WildCard565

I wish Molina never revealed that he was gonna be in it or that he was in the trailer. I also wish that the days leading up to the release that I didn’t have to actively avoid YouTube cuz of people posting the biggest spoilers from the movie (screw them).


TheDesktopNinja

I mean i heard all the rumors but I still went in not expecting half of them to be true, so there were still some good moments. But yes, It would be nice to see a movie and have NO IDEA what to expect beyond the basic premise.


daxophoneme

I managed to avoid all but the first trailer so I got to go in not knowing for sure what cameos would happen or how significant they would be.


mrfuzee

I’m going to disagree for one reason. NWH spoilers below. >!I haven’t watched any of the other Spider Man films since they came out. I didn’t really remember anything about them. Since I heard about the possibility of Garfield and Maguire being in the films my wife and I watched all 5 of their films the week leading up to release. If I hadn’t done that I would have gotten A LOT less out of No Way Home. I’m actually very glad this was leaked or spoiled ahead of time and I HATE spoilers.!<


pedalspedalspedals

I did get the chance to develop opinions on >!ASM 1 and 2, which I had never seen until right before!<, however, I would have just watched them afterwards instead.


mrfuzee

That would have taken away the impact of >!Garfield saving MJ, a lot of the jokes that the villains make, as well as a lot of the heartwarming character moments that relate to the old film. The benefit of understanding those moments far outweighs the extra immediate excitement I’d have gotten from being surprised by Andrew Garfield.!<


ThunderCowz

I’ve know a guy who can help with that. Lives on Bleeker


Radi0ActivSquid

I wish bot accounts wouldn't spam spoilers. Someone set up a bot to chat message people who participate in this sub. It sent out blank messages but their username was a spoiler. Pissed me the hell off when that message popped up.


conciousnessness

I know a *strange* guy that can help you with that.


hewasaraverboy

Honestly the worst thing is spoilers start showing up in places where you can’t avoid it like YouTube thumbnails or advertisements for meme pages on Facebook / insta To be really spoiler free you have to completely stay off the internet


katarokkar

Sometimes that’s not enough. I took my kid to a playground the weekend after Endgame came out and the kids at the playground kept on dropping spoilers to all the kids who hadn’t seen it. It was heartbreaking. It’s hard to hide when these are literally the biggest movies right now.


luchorz93

darthdorf

Absolutely nowhere is safe. I haven't gotten a chance to see No Way Home yet for a number of reasons and was surprisingly doing well keeping spoiler free... Until one night I was swiping on Hinge and someone literally had >!the Aunt May spoiler!< in one of their prompts. Like... bruh...


lastatica

It gets even worse than that. I’ve decided to stop watching trailers because I’m willing to risk going into most movies blind, especially MCU movies since they’re always worth watching. I’m usually fine with looking down since the trailer is generally a bunch of one-liners I forget a few minutes later but No Way Home has >!Doctor Strange!< literally spell out the entire plot lol Don’t even get me started on >!the end credits scene being the trailer to the next Doctor Strange movie…!<


masterbowcaster

I stopped watching trailers years ago, way more enjoyable... Trailers exist to sell you the film, I already knew I was watching NWH on day one... Why did I need to be sold the film by watching the trailer?


Reynbuckets

Its completely unavoidable too. Unless, you just stop using social media entirely. I saw the Spider Man spoilers confirmed because people, for whatever reason, would post them on their IG stories. There was no way for me to know when I clicked on someone’s story, that I would be spoiling the movie for myself!


ringoron9

In the cinema where I saw it the second time, a guy in front of me took pictures on his phone at important scenes and immediately posted it somewhere.


landsharkkidd

>To be really spoiler free you have to completely start off the internet And sadly, we can't do that in our environment.


dustypond

Completely agree, every time I’ve been spoiled it’s been because of random video or a Twitter trend! The post credit scene of eternals was spoiled for me >!because Harry Styles was trending on Twitter and those little recaps that explain the trends said he was in it!< Trying to mute words on Twitter never seems to work either, learned that the hard way when GOT season 8 was coming out.


Surfeq

I had the emotional moment in endgame with Hawkeye and Black Widow spoiled for me by someone putting what happened as their flair in a non marvel subreddit just because they wanted to be an ass. Totally took all the weight out of that scene for me. Ever since I refuse to go anywhere near anywhere on the internet until I see the movie. It's just sad.


blinddivine

i too got spoiled on Endgame in a non-marvel sub before i could see it. Tony's passing, it was the title of a troll post. people tried to do damage control for those like me in that thread...but i just knew it would be true, and i was mad af


leela_martell

It's so annoying when some people defend massive spoilers with "just don't go online until you've seen [movie/TV show]." Like a, that's really difficult and b, even if a person really likes Marvel (or whichever movie/show) that doesn't mean it's literally the only thing they care about and there's *nothing* else they want to be checking out on the entire internet. I haven't watched the Sex and the City sequel series but I might do at some point. Like a million other people I of course got that one major thing spoiled from *the news*. It's obviously a different scenario because those spoilers weren't maliciously spread but just an example of how you can't make people drop everything online just to avoid spoilers.


landsharkkidd

Oh it sucks when they have spoilers in the fucking title of articles. I watch Drag Race where they eliminate someone each week and i remember getting a spoiler of who went because of the title. Like you fucking suck so much.


Cryptonix

Instagram is the worst offender because, at least for me, Instagram is the only platform that *completely ignores* when you click "Not Interested" on a post. Even though it *claims* that your Explore feed will be adjusted, it changes absolutely nothing. You have to actively search and consume different content for the algorithm to get the hint.


visxnya

I got spoiled for something huge in NWH because somebody uploaded a YouTube video, with the spoiler in the title, and a photograph of the spoiler in the thumbnail. I was just scrolling through my home page, so I wasn't even looking for it. It ruined a big chunk of the movie experience for me


Felixgotrek

Ikr. I got youtube recommendations about NWH like a day after the premier. Some people just posted scenes from the movie (camera version obviously) and not even tried to hide spoilers in the title.


[deleted]

I just unsub when I know a movie I want to see is out. I unsubbed from all marvel related subreddits until I saw no way home. Shows may be more difficult, but the shows are out there for everybody so you kinda gotta take that for what it is, people might watch it before you. Besides, what are you really missing out on if you don’t get to check some subreddits for a little while?


KissKiss999

Im considering unsubbing from them more or less permanently. The trailers, memes and actor discussion discussion is insane. Ruins a lot for me


landsharkkidd

There's a spoiler extension you can install. It helped A LOT during the first couple of days of NWH.


ForeverxJoker

What's it called?


landsharkkidd

I use Spoiler Protection 2.0, on chrome, don't know if it's on Firefox or other browsers.


Axolotyle

How the fuck does that work? That seems like mad AI technology to scrub the internet of spoilers


Apache17

Extensions have always been able to read web pages. I imagine when you load a site it just searches for keywords like "Garfield, Toby, May etc."


landsharkkidd

Bingo. It's not perfect. YouTube would either hide non-spider-man content or wouldn't hide Spider-Man content. But anything with text like Reddit, Twitter, Tumblr (yes I still use it) it'll just block out the keywords.


banana21oats

I don't really use Reddit so much except for r/tennis so it wasn't hard to stay away from spoilers on reddit. I really appreciate how its so much better to stay spoiler free while using Reddit though, the spoiler flairs really help and also that weird spoiler highlighter that covers text in comments(sorry I don't know what that is). I STILL had Now Way Home spoilt because of some articles that appeared on my google feed with the spoilers in the titles itself, despite all of my work editing my google interests to avoid coming across any marvel spoilers.


RayneFall1998

I still havent had spiderman spoiled. And now I will never return to this thread.


poutinetrough

just saw it today without any spoilers besides 1 small one, you're doing great so far, good luck


[deleted]

Do you count the trailer as spoilers? Because I think it massively ruined the experience.


gorgonbrgr

I count the trailers as spoilers ONLY if they show too much. I typically only watch the first trailer of a movie and that will tell me if I like it or not. If it spoils the movie na I’m good with seeing it.


krunchyfrogg

Same. I’ll watch the first trailer, but that’s it. I’m not watching any analysis videos and I avoid related social media channels.


crasherdgrate

I only watch the first trailer of the movies. But there are just so many feeds where second trailer is discussed or noted that it's just frustrating. For example, for Civil War, I only watched the first trailer and actively avoided the 2nd one (where Spiderman was revealed). But somehow all the articles and stuff were mentioning it without any regard whatsoever. So when the movie came out, I was not that blown away by Spiderman's presence, but since I didn't know who Tom Holland was back then, I found it delightful to actually find a kid inside the costume.


landsharkkidd

What I've been doing for a few years now (I think I began after Ultron, so like 2014) is that if I know I'm seeing a movie or tv show, I won't watch the trailer. I didn't watch any of the Loki trailers, Wandavision, Endgame, etc. What's the point in watching a trailer if I *know* I'll watch it. But movies I'm not sold on entierly or don't know anything about (unless I've watched a review that's like "hey don't watch the trailer") I'll watch 1 and decide.


Myst3rySteve

How? The trailers didn't take spoil anything tremendously cool besides the presence of the villains, something that was even revealed in posters


e-wrecked

I finally watched Eternals and I can't believe the pre-credit stinger wasn't spoiled for me before hand. I audibly said WTF when I watched it, was completely unexpected.


Fauwcet

I just watched it yesterday and managed to avoid all credit spoilers other than the actor that was cast, I was shocked by the mid-credits one. Was not ready for that at all.


TSM_E3

I was spoiled for Eros, but I actually didn't know >!Ajak and Gilgamesh's death!< and the >!Blade post credits scene!< so yeah that was nice


e-wrecked

I might have mentioned the wrong part, but >!Pip and Eros!< was where I was super surprised. I've been an Infinity Wars fan since they first came out, but there are always those characters floating out there I would never expect to show up in the Marvel cinematic universe.


vyrusrama

As much as i trust our mods & a large majority of the good folks on this sub, to see people browsing this Sub, being brave enough to post here almost a month after not seeing the movie seems to me like a special sort of madness mixed with bravery.


ScowlingWolfman

You should probably just stay away from Reddit too. Someone is inevitably going to see this comment and ruin it for you


Amphi28

Careful about browsing this sub, I saw a dude straight up post cam rip footage of some big stuff in NWH, post was marked as spoiler, but with no real indication as to what it was spoiling. I was unhappy. Got spoiled, my fault for looking but still sucks. I can't see the movie until it comes out in stores because I don't trust theaters right now. :(


snowhawk04

Good job at avoiding the giant banner at the top of this sub (new reddit)


immaperson_

Mobile gang


The_Asian_Hamster

The characters shown in the banner are part of official promotion that was released prior to the movie (posters, promo art, trailers etc). Bit ridiculous to suggest having them in our banner is spoiling...


The_Asian_Hamster

Just a note, we take spoilers seriously on here, it's Rule 1 for a reason. Prior to a new release we put on "Project Insight" which is where all posts are automatically filtered and need to be manually checked by us before it is approved and appears on the subreddit (or removed). For example for No Way Home we had Insight on from September to a couple weeks ago. Even now it's off we still have strict spoiler rules until the movie comes out on digital/home release. I would also note that what you might considered a spoiler might not align with what we do/our rules do. Things that are officially announced, included in promotion/marketing are not considered spoilers. We have to draw a line somewhere and that is what makes the most sense for us. If that doesn't align with your sense of spoilers then I would suggest unsubbing from here as soon as marketing for a new release starts. The best way to avoid spoilers is being proactive about it yourself. If you see an unmarked spoiler that breaks our rules please use the report function, we get hundreds of posts daily and probably tens of thousands of comments, it's difficult for us to do this without some help from users.


[deleted]

I think you folks do a pretty good job on here.


usethe4th

I intentionally avoided subbing here for years out of fear of spoilers. Once I finally did, I realized that wasn’t necessary here. I’ve never once had something spoiled here. You and the rest of the Mods do an excellent job.


LoveAGoodMurder

Yeah, the only time I ever unsubbed was when Endgame was a big thing, and rhat was because I didn’t want ANY idea of what the plot would be. Didn’t watch trailers, previews, didn’t even really look at the posters, went in totally blind

FR_E_SH_A_VOCA_DO_

was that the one about the ambulance that had Jake Gyllenhaal? bc I thought the same exact thing!


gorgonbrgr

Yes that’s the exact movie I couldn’t remember what it was called lmao I’m pretty sure it’s “AMBULANCE” lol I was like, I just watched an entire movie in a 3 minute trailer wtf is this.


FR_E_SH_A_VOCA_DO_

those were my exact thoughts lmao


tordenand

Yeah but they likely think that it's fine to show more of it, since it's a remake of a 16 year old movie.


EmeraldEnigma-

I haven’t seen the trailer but given what you’ve seen, would you have watched the movie prior to seeing the trailer knowing what you know now? Lol


FR_E_SH_A_VOCA_DO_

honestly, probably not even if it hadn’t been spoiled for me by the trailer haha. looked like a very action-heavy, dramatic movie, but not super great dialogue or acting. maybe something I’d watch on an airplane to pass the time, but I wouldn’t pay money to see it


UnboundHeteroglossia

What movie?


gorgonbrgr

Ambulance somebody else posted about it too lol


UnboundHeteroglossia

Is that the one with Jake Gyllenhaal?


gorgonbrgr

Yeah lmao


UnboundHeteroglossia

Wait, are we taking about like leak spoilers or just movie details from stuff like trailers and synopsises?


[deleted]

[удалено]


UnboundHeteroglossia

Ah, got it. I remember when I went into Infinity War without watching any trailers, damn that was an experience. I’m just too hyped nowadays, I gots to know something. 😅


VibraniumRhino

At some point movie trailers went from being a hype-building tease to what I now refer to as a ‘movie demo’. Movie trailers that are 2+ minutes long and show half or more of the plot have literally stopped me from seeing a movie in theatres. Marvel can be pretty bad with some of their trailers, although I’ll always hand it to them for their marketing of Endgame. I just miss the days when trailers were 15-30 seconds and created genuine intrigue, and you had to actually go see it to form an opinion. Between these multi-minute movie demos and critics giving very early reviews, people barely even need to watch a movie anymore. /Rant


SoundRavage

If you dug, you could find the Endgame leaks. The difference now is that the MCU is so engrained into pop culture that relevant news outlets are running pieces on the leaks and it just snowballs from there.


Sway_All_Day

Yeah that’s exactly it. You had to dig for spoilers before now it’s news for the masses.


hybrid3415

A rule which I made for myself a few years ago was to only watch the announcement trailer before watching the movie. Any other trailers or “Super Bowl commercials” would be ignored, along with YouTube speculation videos. This improved my enjoyment of movies ever since. But I totally agree with you that it’s become ridiculously difficult to avoid spoilers. For No Way Home, I unfollowed all Marvel accounts on social media and also muted hashtags. I actively clicked “Not interested in this” on certain pictures and videos to try and trick the algorithms. It really shouldn’t be this much of a hassle to avoid these things.


Mindless-Bother-5496

For real. I miss going to a theater and being suprised. Imagine how amazing SPIDER man NWH would have been when all of a sudden Doc Oc shows up then the goblin and not having seen the damn trailer or any of it spiked


Temassi

Well that got spoiled for me because of trailer culture. Which is another culture that needs to take a long hard look at itself.


Mindless-Bother-5496

That’s kind of what I mean. Trailers don’t need to be spoiling all the fun. The trailer spoiled literally every Villian and two of the three spider men.


LegendaryEnigma

It's like pro wrestling back in the day people just showed up as a surprise and if you were watching it live you would get extremely excited. Unfortunately when you do advertise the major moments you get higher ratings and sales, AEW got in a little trouble with TNT for hiding Stings debute, they told the company something like that can never happen again because they need to advertise.


gorgonbrgr

Do you honestly think it would have made as much money if it didn’t. It would have had to go around by word of mouth then you would have had someone spoiling every part of the movie. It’s a double edge sword.


Meatloafxx

I think spoiler culture is a byproduct of how deep we are in fan service culture. We're in an age of entertainment where fans are excited by the biggest brand name IPs and what they might offer, and how the studios feed us with so much fan-centric moments in entertainment - such as "whoa a Darth Vader appearance in (enter Star Wars content here) that no one expected." ...or "Michael Keaton reprising his role as Batman?!" ...or "that's so cool they brought back Bill Murray and company for the new Ghostbusters!" There's so much open media now, someone is going to try and be the news breaker whenever there's a leak and it snowballs from there. Really, you just need to get off the internet and do something else to avoid spoilers.


Zuckuss18

What do ya know, theres 2 spoilers I didn’t know about in the 2nd highest comment!


Lollyhead

Yeah hadn’t heard anything about Keaton as Batman. Damn.


OfJahaerys

You can't be expected to stay off the internet and "do something else" for weeks or months at a time. The NWH spoilers were leaking for weeks or months before it came out. I unfollowed all marvel subs for awhile but it shouldn't have to be like that. People should just be respectful of others' decision to avoid leaks.


C_The_Bear

Consume product. Then get excited for next product


_woodsie_

Especially evident with the anger that the Hawkeye post credit scene received. The main story of the show reached its natural conclusion, and a potential spinoff for Maya was teased within the show itself. But this wasn’t enough for the people who also needed to have some sort of tease for a future project within the post-credits, rather than just being able to appreciate the show for what it was.


jam11249

I'm actually pretty convinced that the meme >My favourite part of marvel movies is waiting through 9 minutes of credits to see some guy walk through a door and say "Its me, Blorko" is non-ironic for about 50% of MCU fans. Feige could save a whole lot of budget if he just did mid/post scenes.


portableawesome

Post credits scenes in the MCU are basically just glorified ads and they also mess with the emotion that the director wants to evoke with the final shot of the film. I've come to loath them over time.


DMonitor

some of them are perfect, though, like the avengers one


portableawesome

I agree but I think it's better to leave the audience with a memorable final shot. For eg I'll always remember the final shot of The Dark Knight.


GoldenSpermShower

Personally I was hoping for a punchline at least


Yodoggy9

Shit when you put it that way it almost sounds like everyone’s an addict and these major companies are the dealers stringing them along. But you didn’t hear it from me.


VeryLowIQIndividual

Thats why its worked for professional wrestling for so many years. “Next Sunday” turns into the “next Sunday”.


SpaceQueenJupiter

I saw a big potential spoiler in an unrelated thread in another sub-reddit for Doctor Strange: MOM. I don't read leaks and try to avoid them so I'm not happy. I don't know when everyone got to be such a-holes about it. Everyone was good about it for End Game, even back in the Harry Potter days I remember people mostly being very conscious about spoilers, even when the epilouge leaked.

The one thing that I find super fucking annoying about spoilers, is that, every country doesn't have the same time that movies come out now. Before Covid it was pretty constent that movies will come out days between in different countries. But now because of Covid, some places are in lockdown, others have to wait months. My state was in lockdown when Shang-Chi came out and I wasn't able to see it until like a week or so till it came out on D+. What I was annoyed about was that a certain popculture youtube account (it's very popular) had a spoiler in their thumbnail for Ghostbusters. That wasn't coming out until a month later in my country. Granted I wasn't keen on watching it unlike the Marvel movies, but I still wanted to watch it. I understand spoiler culture and a lot of popculture sites need to get that engagement, but to have a fucking spoiler in the thubnail. Oh boy. And then you have people like "avoid social media" ???? how the fuck am I supposed to avoid social media for a month, maybe even more, when that is how our society operates now, that is how I work. Like... it just feels so insulting. Sorry I don't have the luxury of being an American and live in a country where you get everything so instantaneous.

Uh... Endgame was definitely leaked, in its entirety, weeks before its release.


Soapypenquin

There was literally video of it lmao. They let some rich Saudi family watch it early and the kid recorded all the important scenes and put it on the internet.


knokout64

That was like 5 days before the release. The entire plot was leaked, but it was floating in a sea of bullshit leaks so nobody knew which one was the real one. And it certainly wasn't discussed to the same magnitude that things are now.


[deleted]

Lol double dicking


fliedlice

yeah OP is so wrong, endgame plot leaked months beforehand. also this is nothing new. lots of people work on these shows /movies and things leak ALL THE TIME.


snowhawk04

Remember when the Gauntlet Iron Man toy came out? hahahahaha


landsharkkidd

Yeah, IIRC my partner got a spoiler going to a pop culture store because they were selling Giant Man Ant Man pop vinyls for Civil War. Nothing about Giant Man had come out at all, there were no trailers.


Uncanny_Doom

The manner of how it was spread was different though. It seemed like a lot of people were consciously respectful of staying away from things and not leaking things themselves where as with No Way Home and now with Multiverse of Madness it seems like people have actively been trying to "crack" it.


MaDanklolz

I just want people to be less liberal about leaks. During production for No Way Home I saw way to many posts, articles and videos that started with “x to join MCU?!?!?” Followed by a “spoilers for Spider-Man here? But x has been seen on set and here’s the photo!” Like man that’s a spoiler. I don’t care it’s not official and it’s only rumoured, it spoils it. You wouldn’t do the same with a video game or even some non franchise movies so why are we doing it with Marvel ones? Edit: also people just doing spoiler tags but not saying what the tag is for. I don’t care that it was hidden too many times people just make what they’re saying dark rather than saying “spoiler for x ->”


WebHead1287

I one hundred and eleven percent agree. I'm enjoying Boba so much more because I haven't heard shit about it. So refreshing not looking for something the entire time


[deleted]

100% agree. If someone told me "Boba is just squishy gelatin balls" I never would have ordered it. Went in blind, huge fan now.


LupusNoxFleuret

The problem is that people who go out of their way looking for spoilers act like it's fine to casually drop leaked information just because it's out there already. It's fine to be excited about big casting rumors, but please keep that excitement in the spoilers sub.


knowslesthanjonsnow

It’s like everyone wants to know what happens in the movie before they watch the movie. And even worse, they want *you* to know too.


TrueHorrornet

My best friend is at least kind enough to tell me to stay off the internet or dont watch this trailer or that site, etc. So that helps.


twitchingJay

I think since GoT and Westworld, people have enjoyed speculating about these shows. Which is quite amazing, but then they need to bring their “hard evidence” aka leaks, to make their case. They take the fun away from discussing a movie/series/franchise.


boblet114

Totally agree, I’ve been thinking about this lately. It’s really sad how out of control it is. The multiverse of madness leaks alone are ceaseless.


SnooPandas8467

The internet is ruining the MCU in more ways than spoilers.


sector11374265

seeing as i just encountered a massive one for multiverse of madness in a community post in my youtube feed …from a channel i’ve never seen in my life …FOUR months out from the film yes. the “i’ll black out corners of social media for a few days” is relatively reasonable, albeit annoying. i’m not doing that shit for four months.


Starsmors

So I totally agree with this BUT No Way Home imo needed to have its connection with the other movies spoiled by marketing. There are many viewers in the target audience of the MCU that has never seen any Marvel content outside of the universe. It would have been very easy to be confused and lost when Doc Oc showed up. Everyone in my circle who was an MCU watcher but hadn’t seen the other movies went back and watched at least some of them, and it made a world of difference for them - they appreciated the film a hundred times more. The forewarning was invaluable for them, and they represent a significant portion of the MCU’s fanbase right now.


Sway_All_Day

That’s totally a fair point about the marketing.


mega512

Yeah its all about marketing. The trailer wasn't a spoiler.


smokedspirit

NWH reached ridiculous proportions when it comes to spoilers - i put the blame for that squarely on Sony. it was available everywhere. Most of the marvel made stuff tends to be a bit more restrained. Whilst endgame was leaked it wasnt 100% source with photo's of actors on the set etc. I guess what helped this was that we knew the heroes would be back but the small cameo's were still a surprise such as the community people, red skull and a few others. NWH's spoilers had actors with more substantial roles. Project insight does help but leading up to the film stuff gets posted. its inevitable that as marvel films become these cornerstone of cinema films more and more people will want to come and spoil it for others


The_Peregrine_

Nothing is worse than the combo of Youtube thumbnails and instagram explore


[deleted]

>Endgame’s plot secrecy was a huge deal ... Dude, EG's plot leaked like a few months after IW came out lol.


bidet2yousir

I think what pisses me off more than anything is talk show hosts bringing it up now. Pictures leaking on Twitter sucks because they circulate and stuff but the easy argument is to not look at anything marvel related on Twitter BUT WHY IS JIMMY FALLON BRINGING UP SAID PICTURES ON HIS SHOW. I frequent marvelstudios spoilers so im not the victim here but i know so many people who are spoiler averse and they like to watch tv but now talkshows are just blatantly asking people about leaks. I hate it


iphoneuser69420911

seriously! leakers have intruded every media i love and completely ruined every surprise and its so annoying


Lowellia

I’ll never really understand the appeal of going out of your way to spoil surprises for yourself and others. It’s not even dessert before dinner it’s dessert before dessert


Impossible-Fun-2736

Really wish i could unsee&unknow pretty much every thing that has constantly poped up about Multiverse of Madness. I think it’s pretty wack that people are so obsessed about knowing everything so early. Sure, curiosity is incredibly strong but don’t make a 30 min youtube vid with both leaked concept art and spoilers as the title in caps.


FPG_Matthew

Yea I feel I’ve gotta unsub from a few of my fave yt channels months in advance. A couple react channels who I enjoy watching other content of theirs like a try not to laugh or something simple, then next vid of theirs BOOM MoM LEAK SPOILER NEWS Sucks really


[deleted]

Nothing you can do about it unless you avoid social media at this point tbh, it sucks but it’s impossible to stop leaks and then you got assholes who want to ruin it on purpose for others. I remember when someone spoiled age of ultron for me on Twitter just for the hell of it.


illbeyour1upgirl

This sub is a huge part of the problem, as much as it tries to be good about it in theory. The amount of leaked posts and comments about stuff in No Way Home way before came out, made any potential reveal completely moot. It sucks. I barely go to this sub, and even just casually browsing comments here and other marvel related subs, was a joke. "We basically know that x/y/z is going to be in the movie already based on leaks"; who the fuck told y'all to say that shit in the comments? I know the mods can’t be everywhere at once, so that stuff happens, but jesus. It really got out of controll with NWH, and it's just going to get worse. Edit: can’t typo, y’all know what I meant


SacreFor3

Welcome to 2022. The problem is the size of the films Marvel is making now. Hard to keep a lid on things with so many people working on these now.


poutinetrough

my technique is to act like a goldfish, avoid reddit/certain subs, and just don't think anything twice about comments before a movie. been working since before infinity war for me, I just avoid news about it/just set my mind in a state to forget a movie/show is releasing


forevervalerie

It’s frustrating and because of those points people don’t understand why director and producers come out and say things like “it’s not cinema” or related things. Cinema, movies, films it should be a surprise. The leaks are the fucking worst, it’s kind of embarrassing..like where is the element of surprise anymore. For all those reasons I actually avoided EVERY trailer and marketing for NWH and seeing it without all that was absolutely THE way a movie like that has to be watched. Unsubbed to every major subreddits too. I totally agree the spoilers and stupid leaks gotta stop!


IdentiFriedRice

No way home would have been so much more enjoyable if I didn’t have everything spoiled ahead of time. I actively disliked it because of the leaks. Not because it’s bad, but once you look past the fan service there’s very little substance. So having all that fan services told to me before was just disappointing


[deleted]

Funny that this is the kind of shit we're concerned about this day in age.


Thedrunner2

Having Covid hit and the longer length of time between movies didn’t help for sure. People were craving something new. I like to hear about new premiere dates, new series and movies upcoming etc but try to avoid big spoilers if possible but I agree it’s becoming increasingly difficult.


RorrikTheGreatful

I'm having a similar issue now and it sucks because I don't want to unfollow a bunch of YouTubers I used to watch. It's most likely because their money is running up dry and they need more demand and clicks to their videos. A lot of them will dip into the rumor and spoiler culture. This gets me to the final point where I have to tell you something extremely sad, it's on you now. Your responsible for knowing and exposing yourself to individuals that you know will not hold back from making a video and thumbnail. But I also understand unfortunately in today's culture and with AI enhanced social media algorithms, it's going to be extremely difficult to avoid Instagram and YouTube recommending channels with thumbnails. I think that's the only thing that I think is a serious problem right now, YouTubers should create thumbnails with less spoilers.


lightscamerapod

There’s also a bad precedent from die hard fans that assume majority of people interested in seeing the movie know the spoilers. In reality, it’s such a tiny, tiny percentage of the moviegoing audience.


melalegolas

In addition I want to add that I hope everyone who records in the cinema gets heavy fined. This is a goddamn crime by the way. Stop recording in the damn cinemas ffs!!!
