06. [SPOILERS for K-pop Demon Hunters]

I didn't spoil myself, but 20 minutes in I realized that the whole film was literally just the main beats of Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar and Maya and the Three mashed together with a Korean Pop/Folklore theme instead of Death Metal and Mesoamerican mythology so it was fine.

I had a nice time.

I put this on one evening just because it looked like it might be fun and I had a good time. I didn't spoil myself but I get why did for your own reasons OP, I usually don't because I forget if I even want to look something up most of the time for a new show/movie.

I firmly believe that a story works well when even the whole thing is spoiled. There have been a lot of things spoiled for me and I still enjoyed it a lot.

I understand some good media are really impressive when you go in knowing nothing and the twists and turns are revealed as you go along.

If a thing sucks because you knew the spoilers ahead of time, it might have relied on the spectacle more than the story.
And for me, story is way more important than spectacle.

I knew about the many twists in The Matrix, The Sopranos ending, the Titanic ending, the Knives Out twist, the Murder on the Orient Express ending, and the twists in Gone Girl and I still enjoyed all of them!

I don't know if knowing the endings or twists to things I liked (like the ending to Pan's Labyrinth, the ending to Inception or the ending to Lost) would have dulled my experience but given that I didn't experience it that way I'll never know.
And why dwell on that? XD
If other people did feel like the twists or spoilers ruined a thing for them, that's valid.
We all can't experience things in the same ways.

Also, knowing the endings to some things didn't change the fact that a crappy thing was just crappy. It wasn't the spoiler that ruined the thing. It was the thing sucking that ruined the ending.
Looking at you, Game of Thrones.
When I read the spoilers I thought, "No, it can't end like this. That would be terrible."
It ended like that. It was terrible.
But I'd found GOT irritably bad since seasons 5 and 6. I wanted to believe it would get good again or have an ending that pays off, so I kept watching.
Same with Veronica Mars. I heard the ending to season 4 was terrible, but I thought "I recall liking season 3 more than most other viewers, and the VM movie was pretty good. Maybe season 4 isn't that bad."
It was that bad.
It wasn't the spoilers that ruined these shows.
It was the bad execution.

tl;dr spoilers aren't that high on the ratings scale in terms of what makes something bad/not good; enjoying things a specific way is not the end-all-be-all way to engage with a story/piece of media

+1. I'm a maniac who reads a chapter of a book, then peeks at the last few pages and then tries to figure out how we get from Point A to Point Z, though.

(Also, shoutout to "Gravity Falls" and how well it still works you get if the twist about The Author of the Journals" if spoiled ahead of time.)

I like spoilers. Sometimes it makes me MORE excited to get to that part. This mostly works with tv shows, but it also works for books and movies. There's a peace of mind knowing how things play out, especially if the journey is full of pain and angst.

I hate spoilers, but I think knowing a friendship gets resolved in a movie like this barely counts as a spoiler. It's in the same category as "the good guys win." Of course they do. And of course everyone becomes friends again.

Yeah sometimes spoiling yourself makes the experience better. When I watched Knives Out, I was getting *so anxious* about how they were setting up the undocumented immigrant as the problem that I looked up the ending so I could actually enjoy the rest of the movie. (and the sweet victory)

I have now learned more things about how on-screen murder mysteries are generally set up so I'm better prepared for them and have more fun trying to solve the mystery at the same time as the detectives are.
