I mean, if there's a black character who is the best friend of the white MC who just so happens to be 2 days away from retirement and they're fighting an alien force that they have no clue how strong they are... is it REALLY spoilers to point out that he dies? It still is, because you might be reading/watching one of the MANY stories that deliberately subverts the trope and does the exact opposite. You may suspect what's going to happen, but you don't know, and subversion of expectations is still possible. But it's different if I flat out tell you who lives, who dies, how they beat the aliens, and which character was secretly a leprechaun the entire time. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:957121199] in Why do peo...
