Jesus fucking Christ, most of the books came out years ago. Nobody complained about LOTR fans talking about how Frodo would destroy the ring and Aragorn would become king before the movie came out. Nobody complains about people talking about how any Anna Karenina adaptation will end with her killing herself. Nobody complains about Les Mis fans talking about Javert's suicide.

But for some reason Game of Thrones fans are a special kind of snowflake who ~can't handle spoilers~ and book fans who don't go out of their way to cater to their needs are dicks now. Either read the books or stop complaining about spoilers.

They very much did with LotR. I was a book fan, and had read the books about two years before the movies were announced, and couldn't understand how someone could get upset with me mentioning something the title itself spoiled (Aragorn becoming king), but I had more than one person get mad at me. It just didn't occur to me that someone would want to watch something like LotR without first reading the books.

I feel bad when people get spoiled, because I totally get the desire, but the movies were always nothing more than a representation of the books, not a thing in and of themselves. So, I have trouble truly getting that someone might not want to take in the original form of a given work.

I really hate the people who complain about knowing the plot, though. I mean, I'll avoid telling someone anything if they ask me too, but don't get mad at me if I mention that the whole point is to destroy the Ring. (How are you even interested if you have no idea what it's about, anyway?)

I love the movie but I find Tolkein's writing style very plodding and tough for me to get through. I know there are people who love the detailed descriptions but for me it's rather in one ear and out the other. However, I wouldn't come down on someone for spoiling things unless I had said "please don't tell me." and they did anyway. But only jerks do that.
