They're both live reactions to information Hulu watchers don't have access to in real time. Do you get mad when movie posters or trailers reveal something about a movie?

I think it's silly to expect to be able to walk the earth in 2018 and entirely avoid the information that the media publisher wants you to have. Hope, maybe; expect, no.

quote:SPOILER RULES: Are you talking about something that's already aired in an episode on the East Coast? Then you don't need spoiler tags. Are you talking about something that you only saw in a preview, or a commercial, or or due to a leaked ANYTHING? Then you need spoiler tags. Casting information is not a spoiler. Unless it obviously IS a spoiler, like a recurring character that was presumed dead or something coming back. Honestly, just use common sense. Netflix shows "air" all at once, so once they go up, there's no need for spoiler tags in that show's thread. You should still use them in other threads that might mention the show for at least a month. poo poo like this falls under the "common sense" clause. This isn't the place to discuss spoiler policy. Just abide by the rules or discuss it with mods if you want it changed.

But complaining about spoilers after an episode airs is just silly. If you are a Hulu watcher, why would you check the thread after the episode aired but before you have seen it?

As a Hulu and CW Website user, I wait until I have watched the latest episode before accessing the thread relating to any given TV show that I am interested in. It is a small sacrifice but worth it to avoid spoilers. As a matter of fact, the number of posts in a thread may encourage me to change the order in which I watch TV shows if it looks like an episode has generated a big discussion (which is hopefully not about the fact that someone shared a spoiler from a commercial).

homullus posted:Do you get mad when movie posters or trailers reveal something about a movie? (DISCLAIMER: If you've never seen 28 Weeks Later that is a pretty major spoiler in the spoiler text. I liked the movie better than 28 Days, minority as I am, so I'd recommend just watching it and skipping that spoiler if you plan to.) loving YES! Do you know how many Goddamn trailers give away the twists or outright end of the Goddamn movie obviously? Way too many to Goddamn count and it happens way too loving much. I have nothing but admiration for trailers that change things so they're not exactly as they are in the movie. My favorite ever being 28 Weeks Later. In the trailer, there's this moment at the end of the trailer that seems really out of place was Jeremy Renner stops and gives this slow motion wink to the camera that's really focused on. In the actual film right when he winks he instead explodes in a fireball from getting lit up by flame throwers. It doubled the moment for me and is my gold-star in trailer manipulation. But most of the time it sucks and is blatantly obvious so I either sit in the theater going "X isn't dead, X was in the trailer a lot more," or "Welp I bet that scene of that person's eye getting hit with glass, or dragged down a hall, etc." It ruins the loving movie. Or the hilarious beat-by-beat trailers I've seen (some war dog movie I saw recently had a trailer pop up on youtube that showed the entire plot, in all the acts!), or the bullshit of Terminator Genisys, which sucked anyway but the trailer already threw it's cards onto the table. I really hate it. If you want some Marvel related good trailer fuckery, it's got to go to Thor Ragnarok though. Several major scenes in the trailer show Thor with two good eyes way after the point he lost it. Given he wasn't even wearing an eye patch, it's likely that footage was made specifically for the trailers. Again, props. 90% of lesser movies would have absolutely shown off the eye patch, so you'd spent the whole movie going "When the gently caress is Thor losing an eye? I know it happens, I saw the trailer." ... so yeah, I hate trailer spoilers. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Mar 13, 2018 |

Teek posted:This could work to possibly explain a stealth cameo in Infinity War. Possibly easier to explain than Tahiti if they even want to attempt it. The easiest way to connect the films to AoS and do it in such a way that people might be OK with is to basically suggest AoS is "one dimension over" in the multiverse. Given how loosely they are linked these days, I kind of already see it that way. By the way, for all the people noticing the reduced budget on AoS I have to sadly say it still looks like it's budget is 500x that of The Walking Dead these days, where they can't even afford blanks so they use CGI muzzle flashes and a .50 call makes tiny little flicks of light hitting glass. Not to mention poo poo like this:  This actually aired on national TV and is not the only example of this level of quality.. AoS's production value, even now, blows the doors off that poo poo. How the gently caress is WD the most watched show on TV even with the ratings freefall I don't know, while Shield is the black sheep of TV with an A+ production effort..

Fun trivia: Walking Dead started strong because of Frank Darabont and his demand for movie like quality. They fired his rear end on season 2 so they spent 20+ episodes bitching at each other on a farm.

I feel confident that absolutely no one who will go to see Infinity War gives half a poo poo about how you connect the movies to the show if they hadn't already spent the last few years interested enough to check out the show. If they want Coulson in Infinity War they can just use him and handwave an explanation. 99% of viewers will forget it by the time the next of the 40 super heroes comes crashing in or dies or something.

4000 Dollar Suit posted:Ahh the Sons of Anarchy method (aka Dexter method) To be fair, the main reason Dexter started its downfall in S3 was because CBS made them purposely dumb down the writing so they could show edited episodes on network TV to try to get people to subscribe to Showtime. SoA probably started the trend of "Losing interest? Ratings slipping? Let's kill someone the audience is invested in!" that shows like TWD hammered on like crazy.

I find it funny that this thread has been defiant about cancellation from the second season onward, yet everyone seems to be bummed out and acting like this is the final season at a point where all the TV renewal sites have it at likely to lock-in. ABC wiped too many other shows and AoS's performance isn't as bad versus the new budget among the whole political issues so it's actually looking really likely for a season 6. Plus ABC is happy for some critical success overall, and AoS has done well there for a while now.Proteus Jones posted:I have a feeling Creel is going to come into contact with Gravitonium and cause problems.

You have to unpack it yourself a little, but at one point they mention there was an original LMD initiative before the mad doctor guy (good lord I've already forgotten his name) finally achieved it, which would jive with Tony knowing about it. And the people it was stolen from? That's right. The Koenig brothers.
