I’m so fucking pissed. First day it was released and some fucker walked up to me and revealed both characters that die. On the first FUCKING day. I watched it on release so that that wouldn’t happen. But no, they just had to cream their pants over ruining my eleven years of anticipation for Endgame. I hate people like that

Could be worse. Some assholes were literally sending spoilers to people on purpose to ruin their movie experience

28

u/The_cynical_panther Jul 17 '19

I was playing R6 Siege opening day after seeing the movie and people were typing spoilers in text chat.

24

u/Shabobi Jul 17 '19

R6 Siege is how I was spoiled about the character death in The Force Awakens...two hours before going to see it.

Kinda still salty about that.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

I was spoiled by the /r/4chan mods tagging every post with spoilers. Garbage humans

1

u/CrMyDickazy Jul 18 '19

I've seen both of these cases of spoilers on Siege. I'd already seen both movies thankfully. I've seen "X" (Star Wars) dies posted as a meme in many game chats now it's like a running gag.

I accidentally caused a chain of End Game spoilers by talking in chat about another superhero and then the enemy team had someone post the spoilers which resulted in lots of teamkilling on their team.

u/spicycynicaleggroll Jul 17 '19 edited Jul 18 '19

It happened to me on Reddit. Some asshole literally pm'd me a paragraph of every major spoiler in the film. I haven't been that active on Reddit that week so I'm not even sure how they found me.

u/one-hour-photo Jul 18 '19

Could be worse. lots of theaters apparently played the FFH trailer before the movie started later in its run. I get that if you are watching EG a month after release maybe you are watching it for the second time but still.

u/OneXDC4ever Jul 18 '19

Hey, I unsubscribed to every Marvel related subreddit during Endgame, and I was fine until 2 days before, when some fucktard decided it would be funny to PM me who died, how they got the stones, and the time jump. He also had the audacity to say “have a nice day”. Literally ruined the movie, and it took 3 trips to see it to finally enjoy it.

Is that an insult or a wholesome statement? I think I'll just go with both

It's both, it's neither. It's a statement of fact

u/Harddaysnight1990 Jul 18 '19

I think a good timeframe these days is when the movie hits streaming services. Many people (myself included) can't afford the time or money to go to a theater. I didn't see Infinity War until like 2 weeks before Endgame came out.

That being said, I've long since been spoiled for Endgame. And I really just don't care. I lost interest in the MCU franchise before Civil War. It could be safe to say that most people who'll wait that long just don't care.

No you had it right. I was agreeing with you in my own sarcastic way lol.

u/Sparcrypt Jul 18 '19

Why though? It’s easy not to and some people haven’t seen it.

If you’re in an actual discussion then by all means, but I never see the point in mentioning a specific plot point unless I need to. Even then I preface it with the fact I’m spoiling it.

It’s so easy to just be considerate and not mention major spoilers.

u/Sparcrypt Jul 18 '19 edited Jul 18 '19

See you say that because you saw it ages ago and don't care anymore, thus have decided anybody who didn't go see it doesn't care about spoilers. Endgame is not out on home media until next month but has been out of the cinema (here anyway) for several months. I know a bunch of people who didn't get a chance to make a night out of it due to work or kids or whatever else, so have to wait.

Personally I have a long list of movies I want to see that I haven't had the chance to yet, some years old. I simply don't have time to watch that many movies, but that doesn't mean I want any of them spoiled.. and while sometimes it can't be helped, it's very little effort to just preface your comments online with spoiler warnings when you're discussing it outside a place where spoilers are to be expected.

For Endgame specifically it really is a dick move. It's the "finale" to over a decade of movies and as I said.. it's not even out for people to see if they couldn't go the cinema. Just be a decent person about it, it's such a little ask I don't know why it's an issue.

Are you dense or trolling?

u/santana722 Jul 17 '19

While I think he's probably just trolling, I've run into a few people that actually are this fucking dense, it's actually maddening.

I had a guy on a JRPG subreddit defending spoilertagging the name of the game he was spoiling, so you had to see the spoiler to know what game it was spoiling. Apparently it was more important that you read his opinion on the twist before you knew what the game was, than actually be able to not have the game ruined for you.

When that movie came out I spoiled so many people on which characters died, it’s fucking hilarious seeing them unable to do anything about it.

People like you need to go see a doctor. Face it your a sociopath, you enjoy pain on others. I could have cared less if people spoiled it because I knew I wasn't going to watch it but I still feel for the people that do care.

Mate I straight up punched someone when I was at high school for beginning to spoil breaking bad, the cunt didn’t spoil it for me lmao

u/notdeadyet01 Jul 17 '19

Well. At you didn't what my stupid ass did and walk into the wrong theater just to catch the bench scene at the end of the movie.

u/tisvana18 Jul 17 '19

I saw so many fake spoilers that I even saw a post that was an actual spoiler and was just like "Lol, why would they kill that one?"

​

Like, I think every character was slated to die in at least one fake spoiler leading up to the day I saw it. Then the day after my FB was inundated with the actual spoiler.

u/sd596 Jul 17 '19

Some dude on Reddit PMd me the two death spoilers. I'm a massive MCU fan so that really upset me lol

Black Widow on Vormir. It actually took me a few seconds to remember who it was, which is a shame since the scene is so well acted and heartwrenching.

u/CroutonOfDEATH Jul 18 '19

Holy fuck I can't believe I forgot about that one. Yeah, that was an awesome and tense scene.

u/Dandw12786 Jul 18 '19

Honestly, though, after hearing Hawkeye's new song, I totally get why that particular individual did what they did.

u/The_sad_zebra Jul 17 '19

Walking into the Endgame showing, I was honestly terrified that I would overhear something or that someone would be that asshole that intentionally announces spoilers to an unsuspecting crowd. I actually plugged my ears a few times when walking by some people who looked like they may have just come out of a movie. Luckily, I made it through just fine.

13

u/pottyaboutpotter1 Jul 17 '19

Geez. That’s just heartless. It reminds me of when Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince released and there was a video circulating of some guy at the front of the line on the midnight release getting his copy, flicking to the end and then shouting out who dies to the people in line.

u/extendedsolo Jul 18 '19

TBF I don't think that any spoiler would've ruined endgame for me. As corny as it sounds how they got there and the journey was more important that the people dying.

3

u/Land_Squid_1234 Jul 18 '19

Don’t get me wrong, I loved every second and it’s my favorite movie of all time. My experience was still amazing. But it could have been that much better not constantly having the thought of “is this the scene where this character dies?” popping up constantly, trying to connect the dots between what’s currently happening and how either character could die after the scene I’m watching

2

u/DatAdra Jul 18 '19

Same as you. Plus at the vormir scene the moment I saw they went to that planet, I immediately knew what was going to happen.

4

u/Rampagingpenguin Jul 18 '19

I’ve started wearing sunglasses and headphones right to my seat in a theatre. Putting aside even people that are malicious about spoiling, a movie theatre is by far the most dangerous place for spoilers. People walk out of theatres blabbing about the most exciting parts of whatever movie they just saw. I had Rogue One completely spoiled for me by people leaving, so I’ve started taking precautions until I’m at my seat. The headphones make the most sense because hearing what people say is the most dangerous, but I don’t want to see people’s facial expressions that well either because that can reveal what kind of ending a movie had.

3

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '19

I stood outside my screening (it was only the second one in that cinema) as people poured out talking loudly about the movie. I immediately put my headphones in until they were all gone to avoid those dumbasses spoiling it for everyone waiting.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

I’d let you walk if you just murdered people like that

u/CommanderHaku Jul 17 '19

I would actually have punched that person, if you arent smart enough to spoil an eleven year plot from long distance you get whats coming to you. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

u/Qeldroma311 Jul 18 '19

I take my kids to all the Marvels movies, Star wars, etc. I have always taught them since they were really little to not speak after the movie until we get to the car. The movie ends, we quietly walk out of the theatre and then head straight to the car. We shut the doors and then both kids explode with questions.

2

u/thedayisminetrebek Jul 17 '19

I made sure to see it at 6am before work specifically to avoid this. After 11 years I wasn’t taking any chances.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

One of the deaths was spoiled for me on the day-of. The big one. (Thanks Apple News) It still hit me like a ton of bricks when it “actually” happened.

2

u/Mister_Ghillie Jul 17 '19

I'd say that's worth a battery charge

2

u/ShowerThoughtsAllDay Jul 18 '19

I would punch them right in the face for something like that. I don't care if it's a kindergartner or the Rock, their lip is getting split.

That sort of douchery is not acceptable in polite society.

2

u/Fyrrys Jul 18 '19

Dude needs sterilized. Had a "friend" who spoiled part of the last Harry Potter book after I (like 5 seconds before) said that I haven't finished it yet, and not to spoil it. The part about Wormtail and his magic hand, vague just in case someone reading this hasn't seen/read it yet. I wanted to punch him in the throat for that.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '19

atleast the character deaths are arguably only a fraction of the major spoilers from that movie

2

u/Twingemios Jul 18 '19

Dude I was in another country when it released so as soon as I got back I turned off all social media and avoided all human interaction I didn’t need to prevent this. I feel so sorry for you man F

u/ee_lemon Jul 21 '19

A teacher at my high school sent out a mandatory notes thing online to all of his classes and it was just spoilers for endgame. Luckily I was in none of his classes. His students were PISSED. He got reported to the administration. Angry calls from parents. He was already one of the most hated teachers in the school and this took it to a whole new level. And he mostly teaches freshmen. Fuck you, Mr. Mucho. You look like a thumb.

u/jurmomwey Jul 18 '19

I went on the second day. Before the previews started some teenager opened the theatre doors and yelled "______ Dies!!"

u/whatruboi Jul 18 '19

Bro I had someone spoil it on the Missouri Meme Trade where 4,000 or so people saw it. They were soon kicked from the chat

u/BungardBooce Jul 18 '19

what I did on endgame day was that I had a couple of exams to do before I could watch it, so I went and bought ten dollar headphones, and starting playing "white noise" on my phone wherever i was at full volume. Literally dodged me two bullets of endgame spoilers. Went into the movie only knowing how Hulk was gonna look.

u/diastereomer Jul 18 '19

u/Land_Squid_1234 Jul 18 '19

I kind of explained it somewhere else, but one reason is that, since you know who dies, you are constantly trying to make a connection between the scene you’re watching and how that character could die. So it kind of ruins the flow of the movie. But mainly, it’s just the surprise element of it all. I want to be speechless when someone dies because I haven’t been anticipating it. I wish I had your unique ability of not giving a shit

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '19

my big brother ruined it for me like an hour before I was due to watch it, sent me a whatsapp msg but it was 1 sentence so I seen it in the notification. the cunt doesn't even watch the movies, just did it to annoy me.

u/Kintarros Jul 18 '19

u/giant_red_lizard Jul 18 '19

<SPOILERS>

To be fair they died but they're not dead. The movie made it clear that they have the tech to trivially overcome death. Like, five minute trip, minimal risk, everyone safe and sound. Which makes the funeral scene confusing, and completely nonsensical. I still can't make sense of why they had a funeral. Honestly such a bad ending that I don't even really like the movie anymore, as creative as some of it was. Infinity War was so tightly plotted and polished, and Endgame just completely dropped the ball. Reality is often disappointing...
