#MyWife won't let me watch #Marvel #Movies anymore because she is one of these people is all worried about "#spoilers" and she hasn't seen infinity wars, so we aren't allowed to watch anything that comes after it, and I think we got stuck even worse when the second part of a double feature we went to at the Ford Drive-In years ago was #Antman & The Wasp, which I think actually comes after Infinity Wars.
"spoilers" weren't a thing back in the 90s-00s and we could freely talk about what movies we saw, why we liked them, and we didn't have to time our arrival at the movie theater to make sure we got there after the trailers but before the movie started.
I find knowing how a movie ended is different than her being upset about knowing the joke before hand because of a trailer, or not getting understanding every nuanced inside-joke or time-line connection by not having seen every single episode before hand in the order it was release. It is not really the same thing, right? I often watch #sports #on-demand, but I won't if I already heard who won. (Occasionally I will for wrestling if I heard it was a great match, even though I inadvertently learned who won the match, but baseball/cricket/etc. not so much, highlights are always enough if I care).
This is why I haven't seen Star Trek: #Discovery, #Picard, etc. because she needs to have seen every episode from the #StarTrek pilot till the #Enterprise Series finale, even #Voyager, before she'll let me watch a new episode in her presence. Which would be OK if it meant I got to watch all those great old shows again, but we don't, because kids, and if we ever are able to get the #TV, she'd rather watch some "#streamer" play video games for some reason than watch Star Trek. 🖖

At what point does avoiding #Spoilers go to far?
