Probably more of a bait and switch tactic, but Deadpool 2's trailer focused on setting up X-Force with some fantastic casting - then killing them off almost immediately in the film
You might wanna use spoilers tag
It's been years since it was released. If you haven't seen it at this point then saying *spoilers! * can only be seen as sarcastic.
You might wanna use a /s
So everyone oughta see it right away or they don't deserve to see the thing were praising here?
What about those too young to see it when it was released?
Empathy is what I'm asking for here.
I mean, I sorta get where you’re coming from, but it’s also unrealistic. So no movies can ever be discussed on the internet without spoiler tags? What would the cutoff be? Ten years? In my experience after like a year, people who care about spoilers have seen it already. Everyone else maybe would get around to seeing it, but expecting the rest of the world to cater to that is unreasonable.
You'll never guess who Luke's father is!
Did you hear what happened to that Jesus fellow?
Who?
WHO?
Luke Duke? I know he has a cousin called Bo but don't know his father. It can't be Boss Hog, surely?!
For one, tons of people learn about "well known" movies for the first time literally every day. The world isn't some static thing were everyone knows everything all the time. Furthermore, what's so hard about just typing "spoiler warning about [x movie]" before talking about critical plot elements? Just a quick heads up to people that are being cautious about it. It's such a minor thing to do just to be thoughtful, and people always freak out about the suggestion as if it's some monumental task.
I mean, I get it, it’s a nice thing to do. People who do it care about others. But the flip side of that isn’t “these people don’t care about others.” It’s just that it’s not expected after a while. See what I’m saying?
You’re right, it’s a nice thing to do. But it’s not really something we can get up in arms over after a certain point.
Wow, yeah. That really is just unhinged. How dare they have said something like that? 🙄
Um…did you read what I said?
Yes, I did. You're very committed to painting a basic, mild request as something pointless and unreasonable to ask of others, which is so backwards it's absurd. Thinking for 2 seconds about how what you say can affect those around you isn't some big ask. It shouldn't even have to be asked. It should be bog standard for anyone interacting in society.
lol you’re _sure_you read what I said?
Because I advocated for doing it. Multiple times. But I also said it’s reasonable to not expect it after a certain point.
Let me word it slightly differently, see if you can wrap your head around my position on it this way: “It’s a good thing to do for others. I’m all for it. But not everyone thinks of others that way. And it’s not helpful getting up in arms because while, yes, it’s a nice, considerate thing to do for people, people on the whole aren’t nice and considerate. Getting upset about it won’t change that.”
We shouldn’t have to ask people to grow their garbage in the can, or to say “please” and “thank you.” Or to not drive dangerously, to not disrespect other people’s property. If you spend all of your time bemoaning the fact that these things don’t happen, you’ll drive yourself crazy. Assume everyone is inconsiderate, and be pleasantly surprised when people are. Not upset when they aren’t. You’ll be much happier.
Please elaborate on how that is being "up in arms". That's literally all they said before users like you came in to frame the very act of asking as "unreasonable". Then you started getting upset replies like mine, because that's some backwards bs. If you're so invested in people being happier, maybe don't advocate so heavily for complacency and callousness. The world already has enough of that crap.
I’m not advocating. Do you know what “advocating” means? Because it’s very much the opposite of what I did. You gone, friend.
Yes
::: spoiler Is having to use spoiler tags really that inconvenient? :::
???
Just rewatched the offical trailer, and you're totally right! All you really know is that Deadpool is trying to protect some kid and forms the xforce. It doesn't spoil anything with why Cabal is there, any other villain's that show up, or the character arc of the kid.
Great example!
