Anyone else planning on avoiding the trailers or spoilers and go in almost blind.

I know everything can't be avoided but I've done it during Endgame and no way home. It almost worked. I believe trailers do spoil a movie and cut the enjoyment a ton (looking at you Fire and Ash).

I remember in 2019, I avoided all clips before the release and successfully ditched that scene with Thor and Captain Marvel "I like this one" and I exclaimed when strombreaker flew across barely touching her. I was the only one so happy during it because that was the first time I saw it and I earned another good memory...

BUT.

I'm also contemplating on getting on the hype train as I know the xmen teaser/superbowl trailer are going to be bonkers and avoiding it for a whole ass year is impossible, so why not watch it right now and farm your dopamine now (at the cost of not being so entertained because you know THAT next line from the trailer...you know NOW Thor will beg Odin [already spoiled])...

Previews and cool trailers help one build good hype for your pleasure and they help the makers attract masses but it makes a bit sense to avoid the promotion when you're already hyped...

im planning on doing this too

LegalError4042025-12-29 14:01

Frfr after seeing the new thor trailer I have a strong feeling that thor might die… but thats the whole point of these trailers, build up curiosity and bring in more viewers

someapeonearth2025-12-29 14:05

Seeing as trailers now show most of the best bits of the film I avoid them like the plague.

I made the mistake of watching the Avatar fire and ash trailer and now no longer need to watch the movie.

poopoobuttholes2025-12-29 15:30

Oh? What happens to the Fire Navi clan? What happens to the Sully family? What happens to the Metkayinas?

someapeonearth2025-12-29 15:48

That's the thing, I don't care anymore after the trailer spoiled it so much.

It's so long and shows so much of the movie, that it could be a recap for the next one.

Trailers are supposed to tease you into wanting to see more, not show you half the film.

jenkinsmi2025-12-30 16:28

that's sad as well cos avatar is all about those sick visuals and moments, if you've already seen a 10 sec snapshot of every location it kinda kills it IMHO

Mother_Event_67362025-12-29 14:14

The live, unspoiled scene will ALWAYS hit harder in a theatre surrounded by other fans, than reading spoilers or watching a clip at home alone on our phone. It’s just something that has to be practiced keeping in mind.

Big_Epsilon2025-12-29 14:15

I’m trying to. Probably going to have to leave this sub though as there’s news from the trailers blazed across it each time. Which is my problem, not blaming others

alteredbeef2025-12-29 14:24

Ah this brings me back to the “Spoiler Free Til Episode 3” flair on the force.net message boards

Greedy-Physics-98012025-12-29 14:26

Watching these little teasers, never watch a trailer from the actual movie.

Most trailers these days pretty much spoil everything.

22LOVESBALL2025-12-29 16:15

Yup i told myself im done after the teasers we’ve seen. I literally dont wanna see Doom for the first time until im in the theater

-_The_Dark_Knight_--2025-12-30 05:34

How can you resist yourself?

Krimreaper12025-12-30 21:35

I usually watch the first real trailer. And then I try to avoid everything else after that.

-Words-Words-Words-2025-12-29 14:32

I used to try to find out as much as I could about the movies before they came out, but now I’ll watch the first trailer and then that’s it. As you get closer to the release the tv/online commercials reveal too much.

Apprehensive_You78712025-12-29 14:42

I'm avoiding leaks and spoilers until Marvel officially uploads it on YouTube. They uploaded the Steve Rogers one so far.

omysweede2025-12-29 14:52

I assume all trailers to be AI wish fulfillment slop, so avoiding them all for that reason alone.

SirWobblyOfSausage2025-12-29 14:55

Trying. But not possible. Google news feed on phone spoiled who was in it outside of the original cast reveal. Annoying

0LoveAnonymous02025-12-29 15:03

The teasers don't even get me excited. I feel like there is no plot, just nostalgia

YourFellowMiguelo2025-12-29 15:06

I'm trying to, but Reddit, (cough, cough,) keeps posting spoilers 😒... 🤦🏽

116morningside2025-12-29 19:56

And complex on IG. All these publications want to be the inside source and post about it. Somethings shouldn’t be posted unless it’s in an actual rumours leak profile.

LeonSnakeKennedy2025-12-29 23:53

Spoilers and leaks yet the mods do absolutely nothing. Fuck leak culture to death

photon1701d2025-12-30 02:21

reddit is not that bad. the moderators do a good job in this sub for the most part. It's youtube that drive me nuts. Blatant spoilers right in the thumbnail tag

skronk612025-12-29 15:07

The best thing to try and avoid is the negative fans online who’re going to nitpick the hell out of this one.

I’ve been rewatching all the MCU movies over the past year and it’s so much better without having a little bitch in your ear as they say 😆

Equivalent_Boss_99382025-12-29 15:53

Especially twitter people there are so miserable they want to be unique and do engagement farming they will make you hate the thing you love the most and their tweets get so many likes too like i was so excited for steve to be back and twitter just ruined it but i have learnt the lesson im not going to that hell of a place again

skronk612025-12-29 16:00

Yeah I deleted Twitter when the change happened and I’m glad I did. For the record, the Reddits seem much more well adjusted for that stuff. Hot takes are fine in moderation but Twitter is full of extremists.

CaptHayfever2025-12-29 18:19

And the ones who brigade this sub.

Segwaye2025-12-29 17:39

Yes, true. My first Bale Batman movie I watched was Rises. I loved it!

Then I went home and was convinced by the internet that it sucked.

blondemf2025-12-30 00:41

REAL

yoursweetlord702025-12-30 02:01

For me it's the comments of the trailers that have to be avoided. Theorizing on what we see in a teaser is fun, having people talk about things they saw in leaks on the comments of trailers sucks.

skronk612025-12-30 14:24

Yeah they’re always gonna make up some magical version in their head and get disappointed. Online theory channels have ruined a lot of fan’s brains 😆

RhaegarJ2025-12-29 15:08

Alicia Masters will be going in blind

Maatjuhhh2025-12-29 15:10

I only watch a teaser if it’s a totally brand new story. If it’s a sequel or anything in regards to that, I go in blind day 1.

Grizzle1932025-12-29 15:14

I did as much as I could to avoid anything for F4. I saw a couple things here and there. I’ll try my best for Doomsday, but I’m planning on buying tickets for as early of a screening as I possibly can

Fi1thyMick2025-12-29 15:15

I've been a fan of marvel since 87. I don't have the luxury of going into anything blind

JANTlvr2025-12-29 15:32

No. I don't have the self-control.

LookyLou42025-12-29 15:35

Yes

Consistent-Annual2682025-12-29 15:37

Did you just f**king give away a Thor spoiler in your very post? FFS, not all of us are watching leaked trailers or news. You're part of the problem and why one needs an entire internet blackout these days, even for a film a year away.

evapotranspire2025-12-29 22:46

Dude. The OP's post had a spoiler tag. Why are you reading an MCU post with a spoiler tag on it, and then complaining that OP gave away an MCU spoiler?

jenkinsmi2025-12-30 16:27

bro needs a brain blackout with opening spoiler posts on Marvel studios reddit

Madmonkeman2025-12-29 15:38

Yes I haven’t really watched any Marvel trailers

ExpressMud80382025-12-29 15:39

almost impossible to avoid unless you delete all social media (reddit included)

DigitalBackpack2025-12-29 15:42

Trying to, but there’s all these leak photos in my FB feed from pages I don’t even follow

demonoddy2025-12-29 15:45

I would but it’s almost impossible to avoid. I see so many movies in theaters I’m going to see trailers regardless

Heart-Lights4202025-12-29 15:49

Well… I personally don’t watch sports, so almost never exposed to commercials. I avoid all trailers or previews because I want to be fully surprised in a movie.

It was amazing experience to watch Avengers Infinity War, End Game and Spider-Man No Way Home, not knowing anything. I was screaming in surprise throughout the movies.

wheremyturtles2025-12-29 15:50

I avoid everything as much as possible. I close my eyes and cover my ears if they play a trailer at the movie theater. I want to know as little as possible going in so I can enjoy the surprises.

DaFrickinPOOPman2025-12-29 15:52

I feel like I spend too much time on YouTube to really avoid any spoilers. I could just NOT watch the videos, but content creators will sometimes post text with spoilers IN the thumbnail.

xyzsomething2025-12-29 15:57

That’s how I do all movies to be honest, unless I know nothing whatsoever about it, but Marvel /DC / Big franchises? Nah, no trailers, those are just spoilers and I don’t need convincing to go anyways

Defiant_Wheel48882025-12-29 15:59

It’s not wrong to watch trailers early. But once the movie releases in theaters, Marvel usually starts showing full scenes, which almost turns into spoilers. For example, during *Infinity War*, the Super Bowl trailer showed the entire Wakanda scene with Vision, which spoiled a big moment.

Additionally, Tony Stark being rescued by Captain Marvel in Endgame was revealed in one of the Super Bowl trailers, which significantly reduced the impact and suspense of that moment.

My advice is simple: watch trailers or teasers to get excited and to know what’s coming or not coming. But you can skip the Doctor Doom teaser. If you watch it, his first appearance in the movie won’t feel special anymore.

We’ve seen him as Tony Stark for years. Seeing his look as Doom in a teaser or trailer will reduce the surprise. Avoid it if you can—you’ll enjoy the movie more. Your mind will already accept that he is Doom, not Tony.

GeneralEl42025-12-29 16:00

I've avoided trailers the last few years, and the vast majority of online discussions. Just like magic, all movies since have been approximately infinitely more enjoyable. Hearing others opinions before you watch something colors your opinion on it more than you may realize.

TeacherManCT2025-12-29 16:19

I’ve been trying to, I figure that if I’m actually at the movies and I see a trailer, sure but that is rare these days.

Armandonerd2025-12-29 17:16

If they get uploaded by Marvel studios then I'll watch them. Otherwise, I'm not going to search for them.

the12ness2025-12-29 17:30

I only watch teasers. It's made the movies so much better for me.

shellexyz2025-12-29 17:54

I don’t mind watching trailers or teasers.

What I do mind is watching things that vaguely resemble non-official content but don’t make it clear whether this is a leak, a fan made project, or what. There are half a dozen “Avengers: Doomsday <character> teaser” on YouTubes and would very much like to be able to tell if it’s well made fan content or what.

Diablo_N_Doc2025-12-29 18:11

I try but I royally suck at it. I am good at avoiding horror movie trailers. You can really pick apart the plot and deaths.

highpl4insdrftr2025-12-29 18:18

This is the way

electric_boogaloo_722025-12-29 18:18

I hate getting spoiled, but I couldn’t resist seeing some Endgame set leaks, which spoiled the plot of a time heist for me.

Spent the last 6 years practicing in just watching each trailer once and that’s it, unless ofc it’s in theaters. But even then, no spoiler leaks, no set leaks, nothing else.

I need to feel the hype, but nothing more.

Avoiding Marvel social media as much as possible at least a month before release.

CaptHayfever2025-12-29 18:21

I'll watch official trailers, but nothing else. Anything marked as "rumors" or "leaks" can & should be ignored.

0x424d422025-12-29 18:45

This is how I handle *all* Marvel movies now. I actively try to avoid trailers, teasers, and reviews. It’s just better this way.

Electro_Llama2025-12-29 19:05

Teasers are weird when they introduce something you didn't see coming. Wouldn't that be a reveal in the movie itself? They have yet to show anything that conveys what the tone will be or whether it looks like a fun movie I'd want to see.

Aggravating-Mix20942025-12-29 19:10

I tried to go in after the trailers in avatar to avoid it and they went and placed it after Nicole so it literally couldn’t be avoided lol. Sadly I think they’ve forgotten how to save things for the actual movie. They used to put out literally fake trailers just to keep us from knowing plot points, now they are telling people everything all but begging them to come. But imagine how badass it would’ve been seeing Steve if we didn’t know it was coming? I miss phase 3

funnybillypro2025-12-29 19:14

That's how I've been about any movie I know I'm going to see.

mrbaryonyx2025-12-29 19:16

I'm not intentionally avoiding them, I just don't really give a shit

HillBillyEvans2025-12-29 19:24

I didn't watch a single Marvel movie until we watched them all after Endgame was released, Friday nights in Chrono order. I didn't watch any trailers. Infinity War and Endgame were so amazing to watch without any knowledge or expectations! Gonna try to go into the next batch of movies without seeing anything but it seems like it will be difficult!!

How did you guys go A FULL YEAR BETWEEN IW and Endgame?!?!?!?!?!?!

Cultural_Comfort58942025-12-29 19:43

I can know everything I can possibly find on a new film

Once the picture starts though I’m in the moment and most films are excellent with the pacing so there’s zero time to be reflecting or contemplating.

I’m not a try to figure out or anticipate what’s going to happen type person if there’s a mystery or question within the film I may try to figure it out but most of the time I discover as the characters in the fictional world discover.

MX24192025-12-29 19:55

Saw the three leaked trailers online unfortunately but won't be watching the official trailer, the second trailer, or tv spots from this point on. They spoil a lot and set photos just keep popping up. Learned my lesson from Age of Ultron. Won't be watching the re-released Endgame when they do it. I want to go in fresh.

Ordinary-Chain-80472025-12-29 19:57

I’m watching the teasers and the trailer at the Super Bowl (rumored) other then that I’m not watching any

GCB19862025-12-29 20:09

I don't watch trailers for anything that I already know I will watch.

INKatana2025-12-29 20:26

Nah, I like knowing things.

Tkdoom2025-12-29 20:32

My wife told me about the first teaser. I told her to not tell me anything else.

AmericanUpheaval3572025-12-29 21:01

Not me

onepostandbye2025-12-29 21:06

I can’t even find them

sarandipity-412025-12-29 22:01

I think it’s too late for me after the teasers haha

It would be better if Marvel didn’t spoil everything ahead of time (*ahem*, lookin’ at you, BNW) but I think avoiding Marvel and movie specific spaces will be the answer, unfortunately.

Sentry-10002025-12-29 23:49

Not really honestly, I'm too far down the rabbit hole at this point but I will avidly avoid spoilers when the film actually comes out especially for a film im excited for, I don't mind rumors or leaks since a lot of the time they aren't true

LeonSnakeKennedy2025-12-29 23:50

I want to but it will be impossible to avoid spoilers, the third trailer isn’t even out yet for me and I know what it is, and dickheads here discuss leaks like they’re common knowledge and love to tell you all about the plot of a movie that’s out in a year. I hate what has happened with leak culture becoming so prominent, it disgusts me as someone who wants nothing to do with it.

Defiant-Band45732025-12-30 00:03

I will know everything about the movie to determine if I want to see it. I don't think that I can sit through the Tony/Steve/Thor/everyone else show if that is what it becomes.

tonysnark812025-12-30 00:17

I won’t go out of my way to avoid trailers and teasers. I will do my best to avoid spoilers as much as possible, but that’s sometimes difficult in the modern media age.

UNSC_Spartan1222025-12-30 01:07

OMG, yes! And Reddit and YouTube are not helping

-c-black-2025-12-30 02:33

I do this for every movie I really want to see.

not_your_face2025-12-30 03:02

I go to the movie theater too often to avoid trailers

bangarang902102025-12-30 03:45

I’m doing gym best to avoid everything related to trailers/teasers/etc.

It’s going to be a long year lol

MesmraProspero2025-12-30 03:49

Teaser and the first trailer and then I stop paying attention.

cetinkaya2025-12-30 07:44

nope. sorry. i have to watch every god damn leaked scene.

rosyposy862025-12-30 08:45

I think avoiding social media accounts is more important, especially as people make posts straight after they see the movies or tv series.

jenkinsmi2025-12-30 16:25

Yeah i'm gonna watch these teasers so I can put a face to what everyones talking about in the run up, but the main trailer i'll avoid. I avoid trailers for all movies and it works well

phoenixrose22025-12-31 00:51

Yes, I have found I have the optimal theater experience this way.

hellofluffybear2026-01-07 10:25

I'm trying my best to avoid as much as possible!

luvu3330002026-01-07 15:14

Don't avoid the teasers they aren't revealing a lot. The trailer however, I won't watch it. I remember endgame trailer did not tell a lot so I think maybe Dday won't be very elaborate too. But we could be wrong the media and world has changed a lot since 2019
