There is a constant danger when you are surfing
through the internet. I'm talking about spoilers! Is there
anything else that could flatten your excitement? You start watching
new series, you start loving it, you can't wait to see what happens
next, and then some airhead from internet manages to spoil it to you!
And most likely could not see it coming. That sweet feeling you have,
when you are waiting to know what happens next is lost. Element of
surprise is destroyed. All you feel is hate and disappointment. This
all happens so often, at least if I can believe the angry tweets my
friends are making in Twitter.
I might be over dramatic, but I honestly don't like
spoilers, they kill my purpose to watch the series. Does this mean
that I'm a bad watcher? If only reason I watch something is to be
surprised I should not be watching any of mass films. They are full
of cliches and often I can even predict exact words they are going to
say. But I still watch them! Why? I hope I might get positively
surprised!
My hate towards spoilers is quite extreme and that's
why I have some sort of weird respect for people like Patricia, she
said she doesn't mind hearing spoilers. She actually even asked to
hear them! But I could not tell her any because I thought it would be
wrong thing to do. You would not hurt your friend even if they asked,
so why should I tell them any spoilers ether? But I think it is great
that people can enjoy stories even if they know what is going to
happen.
This is one the faults I have when it comes to
consuming media. If I know the story it's very hard for me to be
interested. I can't even watch any trailers of movies because nowadays they
tell you everything. Maybe I should try to grow mentally and learn something from
Patricia.
I have to accept that
internet will always be dangerous place, you can't make it completely
spoiler free. My solution for now is just to stay away. No more tumblr
for me!
I love spoilers :D I do get why people hate them though, I'm probably just a weirdo.
