Avoiding spoilers can be difficult
You missed “The Walking Dead” Sunday night, so you recorded the show and planned to watch it on Monday night after school.
But while browsing Facebook Monday morning, you see a post that spoils the episode.
Spoilers have become a very common event that you see in media. With social media and the internet, a review or spoiler can be seen all over the world and can be seen by everyone on sites like Twitter or Facebook.
Spoilers differ between movies and TV shows. A movie is a singular medium and people see it at different times and I think that it causes it to be spoiled. A movie can be reviewed anytime because it is released as one thing and you can watch whole unlike a weekly TV shows.
But TV episodes air at a specific time on a specific day, and I believe that you should watch the show when it airs; if you don’t, it’s on you to avoid spoilers.
If you don’t, that is your fault.
Spoilers can be a problem. When a reviewer writes a review that is going to spoil a movie or TV show, they should put up a disclaimer that says that the review has spoilers in it; if the reader reads it anyway, then that is the reader’s fault.
Spoilers are also problems with movie trailers. Movie studios sometimes put in key scenes that can ruin the movie.
Recently, DC released a new trailer for their movie “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” that gave away a major key villain and it spoils the experience of sitting in the theater and seeing that villain or character for the first time and being amazed by it.
When on the internet, you need to be cautious about what reviews you read or what video reviews you watch because you never know what could happen or what could be spoiled.
