Spoiler Alert!

On April 27, the new Avengers movie came out. I just saw the movie a yesterday and the most shocking ending. Unfortunately, I already knew how it would end because I previously saw a spoiler on someone's Snapchat story. One of my friends actually filmed the entire ending of the movie and posted it (which is illegal anyway). I was so annoyed because I did not get to experience the ending while in the movie theatre. 

Whenever I want to watch a new movie or tv show, I always have to be careful to avoid spoilers in social media. It is so easy to have the entire movie ruined by some post or story and even though it's illegal, people film movies on their phones and post it about it on social media. It's almost impossible to watch something without it being spoiled. 

I should not be this invested in a movie in the first place. It's not real and it the film does not affect me. It's a little alarming how so many people including myself, get so invested in a movie. I should not be angry that the ending of the Avengers was spoiled but it still bothers me. Marvel is just one example of how people can get obsessed with something that ultimately does not matter.

This specific situation was especially maddening because I was really looking forward to watching the movie and the ending was so unexpected. If I look at this objectively, I know it's not a huge deal however it's still frustrating.

  1. I think you are completely justified in being upset about having the ending spoiled for you. I saw the same person’s story. Luckily I had already seen the movie, but I would have been very mad if I had not. I frequently find myself avoiding the internet as a whole whenever something I want to see comes out. I don’t think getting mad about having something spoiled for you is necessarily a bad thing. It just shows that you really care about whatever it is that you want to watch and you want to be surprised by it.

  2. I think it is completely justifiable to be angry at a person for spoiling a movie or ending of anything. Not only do people spread around the actual ending of the movie through social media, people also say spread fake endings which makes me really angry. It just ruins the overall experience.
