Is the internet ruining movie going experience for highly anticipate and well known properties?

[Robbie3000]

I mean just in general, do you think the ability for fans to share predictions on highly anticipated and well known properties ruin the perception of the end product?

For example,(and these may be bad examples, but fukk it) if there were not thousands of fan prediction videos and threads on the last season of Game of Thrones or the Rise of Sky Walker, would they have been better received?

Or is a shytty product just a shytty product regardless of widely shared fan expectations?

I mean End Game delivered, but not too many do.

I’m just thinking out loud.

Well you can just stay off the internet and not being spoiled...

I don't be on Facebook, don't be on Instagram, don't be on Twitter etc. I don't go into threads about movies I'd be concerned about until I've seen the movie. It's just self control. As soon as you start to see some shyt

At times but not fully.

And the just stay off the internet thing doesn't work all the times. I googled a "why does..." question and a Rise of Skywalker spoiler was the first thing option. You literally can't avoid spoilers at times.

End Game delivered

Did it tho?

I feel like the internet gave voices to those who didn’t really matter to begin with. Every other release (trailers, etc) a studio decides to reveal is the studio’s fault though...

...so you have no self-control, then?

It's only hard to stay off the internet if you base part of your life on being on it (and what people think).

 

[Deltron]

nah, just learn self control and stay off

How hard is it to just not go into a spoiler thread?
Every now and then somebody might drop a spoiler out of nowhere in a thread, but I can't remember the last time I was forced to see a movie spoiler on the internet...But on the other hand I greatly appreciate the option to know all i need to know about a movie if i want. As was the case with Rise Of Skywalker

It is but more for some creators instead of fans imo.

I was a young kid before Phantom Menace came out and everyone was doing exactly what they're doing now, theorizing about young Obi-Wan and young Vader and whether Yoda would be in it etc.
NOBODY predicted "Star Wars will start because of taxation laws and we'll see a slimy politician scheme his way to being elected Chancellor of the Republic " or "We'll see more of a CGI rabbit creature than we will of Obi-Wan, also Obi-Wan will be kind of a douche and his master will actually be the one who discovers Anakin".
George had a vision and stuck to it, for better and worse - I don't like some of the decisions, but I respect him for telling his story.

Rise of Skywalker is like the opposite where it seems JJ and Terrihoe literally read all of the theories and tried to please all of them at the same time.

Game of Thrones, in turn, felt like the writers took some turns just to avoid theories - I know George gave them the overall ending but I'm pretty sure Arya killing the nightking was the writers going "haha nobody will see this coming!" instead of "hmmm does this make sense".
