No it's not.

Also there is an exception: pro wrestling spoilers have a 1-week expiration.

I was wondering this myself before i saw you posted it. I felt like it was known before the movie even came out. But, whatever. I do agree that spoilers actually have no expiration date. But I do think things in promotional videos shouldn't count. And older movies, took like 20+ movies. And why does wrestling have an exception?

I agree that spoilers do not have an expiration but what about it being shown in promotional material. Based on what the other mod said shouldn't that make it not a spoiler?

I would definitely agree with this. I know lots of people try to avoid previews. But I still agree that anything in promotional material shouldn't be considered a spoiler...

I don't think most spoilers should have an expiration date... However, extremely popular classic spoilers should be fair game imo.

For example, the whole "I am your father" quote from Star Wars has been referenced so much that I wouldn't consider it a spoiler.

even if they are a atheist I do believe most historians agree that jesus was a man who did in fact exist, and got crucified. whether or not he was truly the son of god is where the religious debate comes in.

while false religions are fictional, I don't think the average person views them as such, I mean when it comes to "spoilers" and crap like that. hardly anyone reads a religious thing like the bible or the Quran for entertainment purposes.

Yeah if it was in the trailer then it should be fine. But trailers kind of become irrelevant for old/classic movies - I'm not gonna watch a trailer of a 30 year old movie. I personally think any kind of spoilers no matter what should have some kind of warning before them.

It is not like the trailer is the only promotional material old movies get. The lion King for instance has 2 sequels, 2 direct to TV movies, 2 TV shows, a new DVD or Blu-ray Ray release every couple of years, regular showings on television and countless number of books and toys. They have mentioned mufasa dying or shown his ghost a good number of times in all of that.

During the original run they wanted to avoid the Bambi backlash so they made sure it was well known he was going to die, but now that lion King is so big they don't lead with that, it still crops up though.

Same with star wars the previously mentioned spoiler was big when the movie came out, but since has been made known in any number of commercials.

^That's the gray area. I was completely oblivious about The Lion King, never even heard of Mufasa. I'd hear about The Lion King every now and then but never actually saw the 1994 movie until now. Even now, I know Star Wars but have no idea about the popular father meme, and I'd prefer to keep it this way beceause I never know when I'd end up watching Star Wars.
The point being, you never know how oblivious a person might be to the pop culture.
