Re: Your thoughts on spoilers

That's a simplistic way to think of it. You can't think of the twist as just the clincher that everything hangs on. The media should build towards it. There should already be this sense of anticipation, either in forefront or the back of your mind. And, when it happens, you should be shocked, exhilarated, because you felt the coming storm but you did not know the extent of devastation it wrought. If you've been spoiled for the twist, your sense anticipation is dulled because you know all of what is coming and the cathartic outpouring of emotion, the release of that anticipation, is less satisfying.

This is why people dislike spoilers. They don't get the same emotional enjoyment out of the media otherwise.
