Spoiler culture and people obsessing over ‘twists’ is honestly just. Fucking exhausting, and is gonna keep fucking up media until people realize this.
I casually mention something about Black Sails at work…a show, you will note, that has been out and finished for several years…and two people yell “Don’t say anything! I haven’t watched that yet I don’t want spoilers!”
My dudes. Bro. My guys. That show was concluded two years ago. I’m gonna talk about it and if you knowing that Captain Flint finds the Urca wrecked at the end of season 1, which has been out since 2014, ruins the experience for you, well, how’s about you go and fuck yerself, K?
I have re-watched Lord of the Rings approximately 300 times, after reading it about 500 times, and you know what?
I still enjoy it even when I’ve got every scene basically memorized.
I had one co-worker tell me not to spoil the end of Spartacus for him.
SPARTACUS.
Like, my man, if it happened in 71 BCE, I don’t think it CAN be spoiled.
But anyway, when you have directors so obsessed with keeping absolute plot secrecy that they literally do not tell the actors what is going on in the movie they are making you are GOING to have negative impacts on the performance of the actors and the quality of the end product.
And when you have ‘twists’ just for the sake of twists, it sometimes (often) isn’t gonna make a goddamn bit of fucking sense.
And if you ask me not to ‘spoil’ a historical event that took place literally two thousand goddamn years ago, I may have to slap you.
i mostly agree with you but i think there are a few exceptions. for example if it’s a murder mystery/“who done it” kind of show/movie then i like to try to figure out the mystery along with the characters so if i’m told who the murderer is ahead of time it kind of ruins it for me. but in most cases you’re right, people get way too worked up over spoilers
I forgot that my favorite part about Queer Eye is when they first get to someone’s house and they’re all commenting on some aspect of that person’s life and then it just cuts to clips of Antoni digging through the fridge and either making faces of disgust or confusion
hey not to start talking about twilight before I even get out of bed but
I’m absolutely haunted by the fact that according to the twilight wiki Carlisle was only 23 when he got vampired. that’s nothing. that’s a man only a year older than I am, with 5 fucking teenage children. what the fuck. what the hell. why did smeyer sit down to figure out who should be the wise patriarch of her vampire family and decide on “23 year old dilf”?
that. that means he would have been six years old when he supposedly had his kids. and no one is forks noticed anything off about that scenario
I mean they did very much claim to have adopted all their kids, the Cullens weren’t trying to pass themselves off as biological parents and children
but that’s only one of like 900 questions raised
To throw Meyers a bone: My brother and I have been routinely asked about our “university courses” and “job positions” since we were eighth-graders. (I guess it’s better than my friend, whose less-than-5ft self is constantly getting ID-carded even at 24.)
Maybe book!Carlisle just happens to have an “older” face or bearing.
listening to Edward for a century ages you like a motherfucker
One of my favorite things to see is random people trying to interact with unfamiliar outdoor cats. Just standing there with a hand out, making kissy noises, maybe meowing at the cat while it ignores them. Mankind at its best and least dignified
