"I read the spoilers for Rise of Skywalker and i'll let you know in every single TROS thread by vaguely talking about spoilers"
- Thread starter Crossing Eden
- Start date
mentioning that spoilers are legit when directly referencing a short promo clip clearly means there are leaked parts in that small clip. You can't help wondering what those are
This is one of the few instances where I can agree with you, Crossing Eden, on a Star Wars related matter. I've read the spoilers as I don't really care too much anymore and am more interested in how they manage to execute the story but you'd never see me posting any '''vague''' '''hints''' in random Star Wars threads.
This is what is annoying. With all these people that wants you to know they read spoilers you can't know anymore when a prediction or theory is legit or just masked spoilers.
Yeah it is pretty annoying. Not as annoying as some cunt posting a meme on my facebook that seems to be a huge spoiler though.
I had to ignore the spoiler thread here: I guessed something after watching TFA and TLJ which appears to be true (and I figured was obvious), only I didn't know it became a popular leak topic years afterwards I guessed it. Some poster here, I forget who, was a real dick head about it, I guess because in their mind I was just repeating the spoilers and leaks they trafficked in but I never read. I put two and two together and found the spoiler thread and was immediately sorry that I read it for even ten seconds. So I put it on ignore.
So yea. Please, people who traffick in the spoiler threads, please leave that completely out of all other conversation. Just because some of us may have guessed something and speculate about it doesn't mean we want you barging into conversations with spoilers.

Hey!
Don't come into an overblown outrage thread about ninja space wizards and expect to realign perceptions with pithy appeals to reality.
I've read the spoilers just to watch people try to be slick and say
"oh maybe this happens"
all to get a rep when the movie comes out
it's super annoying.

I would be somewhat with you for a product which has already been released and people can go see. But come the fuck on. The movie isn't even out and people are trying to spoil it.
They are also the same people that will inevitably be disappointed by the movie and bitch about it for the next 50 years.
This is beyond annoying in the MHA and AoT threads as well. No, we can all tell you didn't intuit that very specific manga spoiler, you can stop patting yourself on the back. No, that conversation or flashback hasn't happened yet, you can stop acting like it's common knowledge.
If there's already a full plot discussion thread that's no holds barred (like there was for GoT) there is plenty of healthy debate to be had and speculation to read by others who are fully up to speed. They just do it for the attention.

They think they're clever and they're doing it because no one is getting banned for it. It's getting worst by the week and almost to a point where people need to blackout this place until they see it. In terms of spoilers, this site is worst than reddit right now.
with how much the KH3 trailers have revealed I pretty much stopped looking at trailers and stay away from threads based on star wars or for that matter anything about a new movie
KH3 really changed my view about spoilers, since the trailers pretty much spoiled everything about thast game

This is always annoying when things are based on something. Like you really aren't being that clever trying to pass off a spoiler as a prediction.
I typed "rise of skywalker" on youtube and 3 videos with headlines like "TEST SCREENINGS WERE SO BAD PEOPLE LEFT THE ROOM" appeared in the first page.
What a shit world we live in.

Isn't it funny how anytime there's discussion about spoilers you can bet, like clockwork, there'll be posts of Spoilers Don't Matter, It's Just A Movie, and/or If Knowing A Twist Ruins A Movie...
as if those are actual meaningful responses to the topic in question
Yeah, I agree on both account. Myself is spoilerphobic to some extent since I want to go in "pure". But it anoys me that people can't have the decency to not spoil and even argue against people that find spoilers... spoiling of the general experience.
but it is great when Will Smith and MC Hammer came out in the end of act 2 and did that song from the soundtrack
Lucasfilm doesn't do test screenings. Only close friends and family so you can dismiss any report about test screenings out of hand.
It doesn't necessarily mean there is a leaked part in the clips or trailers. It just means that certain scenes described in the leaked plot summary match what's shown in the trailer.

This is the crux of the issue. The worth of "well the spoilers are true" type posts is a toss up between
-pointless drive by
-an invitation to discuss spoilers
This is less an inherent problem with posting Star Wars spoilers, and more about how Star Wars discussion is often so insufferable because of how many insanely... uh.... "passionate" fans the series has, on both sides of any franchise-related topic. Need I remind you all that nobody complained about people dropping leaks in threads about Shane Black's Predator reboot, especially after the first trailer was released and everyone thought it sucked?
Posting TROS leaks has pretty much become the new "post opinions about The Last Jedi" on this site. Star Wars 'fans' just can't get enough of derailing threads with this kind of shit.

The reason people read spoilers in the first place is to know more than other people, so it's useless if they don't flaunt that knowledge for attention.
It's not harmless when the spoilers have already gone public by people spamming them all over the internet as "too crazy to be true" type stuff without any kind of spoiler warning. I had elements of that leak exposed to me from within Era without seeking them out. I didn't complain but I avoided Star Wars related threads for a time.
After that recent trailer, multiple posters said in various public threads "well this confirms the _____ version of the leak" (which is exactly what people were doing here), as a catch-all comment that immediately verified plot details to people who frequent this forum and had already been exposed to specific rumors without wanting to see them.
Saying "this trailer confirms the ___ leak" is thoughtless at best and malicious trolling at worst.
Maybe a permanent ban is too harsh, I get you but it's not "harmless".
It's really, really fucking aggrivating. It's like people who've read spoilers have this weird superiority complex.
I mean, you could just be satisfied wth your own personal curiosity being sated.
I read spoilers for MCU/SW/blockbusters pretty often but I'm not going to be an asshole and tease people, or even mention it at all in threads. That's just an internet jerk move for literally no other reason than to be shitty online. Why ruin the experience for others?
The drama surrounding spoilers is hardly limited to Star Wars fans.
"The spoilers are true." doesn't bother me too much. It's certainly a sign of immaturity when people do that, but it's whatever.
What I find more annoying is when people post coy responses that confirm certain things, or "speculate" having obviously read the spoilers, wanting to either feel like movie Nostradamus, be a dick, or both.
Yeah, I understand that legitimate theorycrafting is something people enjoy. Hell, I did tons of it back during Lost, but shit like that is now ruined by trolls who read actual spoilers.

Even "this confirms the spoilers" can be bad because the next reactions are invariably "popcorn.gif" or "oh god got 2.0" or something like that. Just a week ago I saw a "kylo theory" that was basically c/p from the leaks lol
It sucks though, I hate seeing spoilers about stuff I'm hyped for. Not really sure what the solution is.

Even beyond fake theorycrafting, there are people who have read the spoilers and completely made up their mind about the film and then that informs everything else they post about it. It informs the way they react or talk about the developments in the previous films or the franchise as a whole, it feeds back into whatever validation chamber they are stuck in. While they aren't always giving explicit details, they do a bad job hiding what they are actually reacting to and why they are reacting in a particular way.
And the phrase "this confirms the spoilers" isn't just some acknowledgement or signal that they know what you don't know, it's a signal to others as a sort of shorthand as validation of their own judgement. Like "hey guys looks like we are right to be excited/worried".
You saw this in the lead up to TLJ, when big spoilers finally got out, and big time with Endgame. It became a rallying cry of "welp this is gonna be an issue" for those who had made up their mind already.

This is why I don't generally visit those threads anymore. I had both Endgame and Infinity War plots largely given away here by 'speculation' when they were point for point exactly what happened, and had been leaked prior. I just visit the spoiler thread once the film is out and I've seen it. Shame, because it wasn't always that way around here, but maybe spoiler/leak culture is just bigger overall.
