Yeah I know watching movies backwards is dumb. Hopefully no one actually does that. Spoilers don't do that for you either, you still watch the movie aka experience the experience yourself in correct order.

Spoiling things is very stupid, but one of my friends is a total bitch who freaks out if you say anything at all about a movie or show he hasn't seen even stuff that isn't really a spoiler and basically that's even worse.

[spolier]suicide squad ends with the joker looking into the camera and saying "sequel?" and then doing his joker laugh while the credits roll. as a meta joke he keeps talking over the credits, critiquing the names of people who worked on the film and making references to the funny parts of the movie that you just saw.[/spoiler]

If spoilers really do diminish your enjoyment of a story, why do people watch their favorite films and read their favorite books multiple times? Shouldn't a beloved story get less and less enjoyable each time you experience it?

repeat viewing lets you look at and appreciate things you might not have seen the first time.

i'm ok with people spoiling things, a lot of the time i'll look for the spoilers before i bother watching something that looks like it might be lovely, but it is kind of a dick move to force it on people who don't want it and then somehow say its their fault for not wanting it

I'm the same way, and I do take care not to spoil things for people unless I know for a fact they want spoilers, but that doesn't mean I think the whole "spoilers ruin stories" attitude makes sense.

He gets better though. But then he goes to heaven so it's like he died anyway?
