Marvelfan94 wrote: Oh geez. Thanks JP, but I'm kind of off trailers these days. I've been doing this thing since about late-2015 where I don't watch more than 1 or 2 trailers for a movie I'm anticipating. This past year I have on several occasions actually covered my ears and shut my eyes in the theaters whenever a given trailer would come on. It was mainly for the second trailer Cap3, the third BvS, the second and third Apocalypse trailers, and the second and third Suicide Squad trailers (despite the fact that I decided to skip that film due to my dislike of DoJ).

And infact, even this didn't go quite as wanted, since I still caught a few things that I really didn't want to know about. Like the repeat of the X1 line and the opening shot of Siberia and the HYDRA bunker (that one in particular really stung. Never show your first shot in the trailer guys!). I was even kind of bummed out when I saw Spidey's look on the web (no pun intended), since that was also something I would rather have remained ignorant to. Before that, I was still wondering if the Iron Spider suit would make an appearence. On the other hand, considering how easily I stumbled upon that photo and how widely it was being shared, I guess it would've been pretty much impossible to avoid that particular reveal. Though I was very happy that I didn't know about The Raft. Because that was a total surprise for me, and one that I really appreciated.

Also, looking back on the last few years, I find myself wishing I had employed this strategy earlier. I have already told you about how I had Cap2's plot completely spoiled for me in 14, but I also knew about Zola's return and the mid-credit stinger. I also kind of wished I'd stayed away from the later trailers for DoFP (who's ending I also knew about), AoU, and especially the second trailer for Spectre. That one turned out to be a really bad move.
