Do trailers reveal too much now?

[QuantumKnight]

Absolutely. A lot of modern trailers feel less like teasers and more like condensed versions of the entire plot. By the time I sit down to watch the film, I've already seen the big action scenes, the emotional speech, and usually at least one twist.

I've started watching only the first 30 seconds of trailers now. Enough to get the vibe without getting the whole movie spoiled

I kind of disagree. I think people remember the trailers that spoil too much and forget the dozens that don't.

That said, studios really need to stop putting scenes from the final act into marketing. If the hero is standing triumphantly in a shot that can only happen after the climax, that's not exactly subtle

I love when a trailer drops and everyone online starts analyzing every frame for clues. At that point the trailer isn't just marketing anymore, it's a community event.

The downside is that collectively we end up spoiling the movie for ourselves
