Hot take but movie trailers show way too much now.
By @willaish · Hot Takes
Trailers are supposed to be teasers, not a 2-minute summary of the entire plot including the twist. It completely ruins the experience of actually watching the movie.
The full story
every time a new trailer for a big movie drops my whole timeline is talking about it. but i literally have to avoid them now. i saw a trailer for a horror movie recently and it literally showed the final jump scare. what is the point?? i miss when trailers just gave you a vibe and a premise. now you see the entire three-act structure in a minute and a half. it's like they don't trust the audience to go see it unless they know every single thing that happens. it's lowkey disrespectful to the filmmakers and the audience.

What people are saying
@piaok2 — This is so real. I literally close my eyes in the theater when trailers I don't want to see come on.
@colehm — Absolutely Agree. It's an actual problem. I shouldn't have to go on a complete social media blackout just to enjoy a movie I'm excited about.
@reed — What movie showed the final jump scare in the trailer?
@alex — i love knowing the beginning, middle, and end before i pay $20. saves me the stress.
@karaee — you can just not watch them
