Current Events > Reminder: Spoilers are okay so long as they are SUPER obvious. MCU SPOILERS

(+) Yeah! (+)

In fact if you get mad at super obvious spoilers than you're in the wrong.

Infinity Wars ended with many of the heroes "dying" which included Spiderman but before Endgame even came out, Spiderman No Way Home was announced implying Spiderman some how "survived and came back" from his death from Infinity Wars. Now, it was pretty obvious that all the people who "died" in Infinity Wars was going to come back if you read the comics or just know how business works in general. But because we all knew this then this type of spoilers don't matter.

How was anyone supposed to know that Iron Man or Black Widow die permanently? The latter even had a movie come out after End Game, so it's not obvious what happened. That's why regardless of the medium you should still tread lightly with spoilers.

Iron Man and Black Widow was not super obvious or expected. It was a surprise so that kinda spoilers is okay to be outraged with. However, Spiderman dying in IW and coming back in Endgame was expected and not shocking at all so there fore no one should be outraged by it.

Iron Man dying wasn't super obvious, but if you compare Black Widow to Spider-Man then you have this situation where both characters have movies that come out after the movie where it's end of the world but it's not obvious what their status is. You can't say its obvious that Spider-Man isn't dead for real because he has a movie that came out after the Thanos kerfuffle and then turn around and say the same exact thing for Black Widow.

Since it's almost never "obvious" what a spoiler actually is, you should just watch your mouth regardless.

Yes you can because Spiderman FFH was set after IW and Black Widow was set before IW in their premise.

You also never know who even has that outside knowledge, I'm sure lots of people went to see IW not knowing that another Spider-Man was coming out. Some people don't care enough to read into it but still don't want it ruined.

Based on what a lot of people on CE previous told me, if you didn't know Spiderman was gonna come back then that's a YOU problem.

You see the team Jagr owns had so many players sick that he suited up and played a game, got 2 assists?

Even though it was obvious to me, with the specific example of Spider-Man, I think it's better to be safe and spoiler tag anything story related. It's almost zero effort to tag text and it's just a nice thing to do.

Well, since the spoilers was released by its own companies then by our own ToS it wouldn't be modded for spoilers.
