Dark_Angel13 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I think it really depends on what you're spoiling, like I went into Olympus has fallen the other day not knowing a thing, I hadnt even seen the trailer and I loved it, I feel if I had of researched that it wouldnt of been as good an experience.

† Emotional Outlet Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Here's an experimental study about the effect spoilers have, or don't, on the enjoyment of media. It's pretty interesting. I avoid mentioning spoilers for the sake of others because I don't like to unnecessarily incur people's wrath if I can help it, but I spoil pretty much everything I consume, unless I manage to consume the entire thing in a short amount of time. I didn't have time to spoil the Hunger Games because I read the trilogy in the space of three days. I also like to analyse and think about my media, and I think, as is implied/mentioned in the study, that knowing these details beforehand can help in a person's analysis of the product. Either way, for me it's all about the journey. I might know ahead of time that Person A and Person B end up married, like I did for one of my webcomics, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the buildup to that relationship. Perhaps even enjoyed it more, because I was trying to figure out how the pieces fit together to form the final conclusion. Perhaps one day I will spoil something and it will so thoroughly ruin my enjoyment that I will swear never to spoil myself again, only to do it again the next day. Some days I can't tear myself away from TV Tropes, haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanco Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I've sworn never to speak of 3 things that have happened in my life... and eat a Chick-Fil-A. Which I haven't done since the second time I ate Chick-Fil-A, but never again... OH GOD THE NIGHT TERRORS I GOT FROM THAT PLACE. q ~q What happened at Chick-fil-A? I don't eat there a lot, I'm still really angry they got rid of the spicy chicken nuggets. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME I MADE MY MISTAKES Anyway, I like their lemonade. it is delicious. I ate there is what happened. Their food tastes like ass and it sends me straight to the bathroom, it's like a war-zone in there man!
