  My dreams exceed my real life

  I got spoilered by the subtitle for FYAD on SA, and then again by my 11 year old brother.

  the idea that spoilers have a date stamp on them has always kinda bugged me
  
  of course the prequels kinda spoil this one anyway, so if you watch the films for the first time in chronological order you're going to get spoiled

  We can do anything if we do it together.

  I think all this just represents people trying to push back against the whole instant social media culture, however ineffectually.

  i wasn't trying to avoid spoilers for The Force Awakens; my mum was
  
  and she ended up getting spoiled on probably the only major spoiler in the movie; i didn't

  There's only one real "twist" in the movie and it's not THAT big of a deal. Everything else is just storytelling

  i do generally feel that all stories are best experienced without foreknowledge
  
  a twist is never the same once you know what's coming, even a minor twist

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  And also people upset that people get upset about trigger warnings and safe spaces, but believe spoilers are sancrosanct.

  well, yes, that is ridiculous
  
  but you can never unexperience something, that's the thing
  
  i try not to get too worked up about spoilers anymore but being spoiled on something is irreversible, and can diminish enjoyment

  Munch munch, chomp chomp...

  Still going strong with ignoring spoilers and plot details and so forth, until I finally maybe probably binge the films.

  Touch the cow. Do it now.
  

  I deliberately read the whole plot summary on Wikipedia before ever seeing the movie which I probably never will.

  I looked it up so any possible desire I might have to see the thing would be extinguished

  I usually read summaries of things I want to read/watch ahead of time.
  
  Not sure why I do this. I guess I'm just a perverse human being

  Whores! we want "poems that kill."
  Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
  guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  If it's something I plan on experiencing with other human beings, then no. otherwise, yes.

  Funny, I think I'd be more likely to seek out spoilers if I were gonna experience it with others.
