I personally love the setting/world of a game/movie which is why I tend to read the “what you missed about x” kind of content. its like extra world building, at the same time it keeps the content fresh.
Some video games do this to me depending on how good the storytelling is. 10 Dead Doves still has me thinking about it two weeks after my second playthrough.
“The Movie’s clear-cut ending that has no room for interpretation explained”
Even worse when you accidentally see the video/article title before seeing the movie, and now expect an ending open to interpretation.
(After seeing movie) “What was there to explain??”
Sopranos ending
Then there are the people who, after watching the entirety of the captain marvel movie in a theater, ask “which one was captain marvel?”
Or during the movie that you’re both seeing for the first time, “Why is that person doing/saying that?”
I don’t fucking know! Why don’t we watch and see what happens?!
To be fair I think she uses and is referred to as Carol during the entire film. In the sequel two characters use the name “Marvel”, one “Ms” and one “Captain”.
Of course it’s still surprising that you could watch a whole film and not be clear. In the first film there a very clear main character, and you know what film you’re watching, so that’s simple enough. In the second film one of the main characters fangirls over the character named “Captain Marvel”, so that’s straightforward.
I’m the bottom, so is my wife. Only difference is she does it DURING the movie. It can be pretty annoying, hard to get used to.

I do this but I have to stop, not because it’s obsessive or anything, it’s because YouTube will just recommend me videos full of spoilers. Great.
