Maybe I missed it but didn't he get shot in the leg?
He was hurt and had to have those cranes get him to Oscorp. After everything is over that night he comes home with eggs for Aunt May. Doesn't he still have a massive leg wound?
shareHe webbed it up to stop the bleeding. The movies don't state this but Spider-Man heals faster than a normal human. It's not as fast as Wolverine's healing ability but it is still above a normal human. Though it's not like the Raimi films weren't guilty of giving him just as severe injuries. In Spider-Man 3, Sand Man pounded his body with a giant sledge hammer and yet he's perfectly fine and able to walk just a few minutes later. Heck, at the end of the first Raimi Spider-Man movie, he gets a pumpkin bomb to the face and also gets beat up pretty bad by the Green Goblin. Yet he has no visible injuries to his face at Norman's funeral.
shareYou probably don’t need spoiler tags for movies that are nearly 10 years old.
shareWell a lot of people constantly make big deals about it.
shareWhy not? I'd say you need them more than with a movie that came out a year ago. My kids range in ages from nine to 21. Are they supposed to catch up on every movie ever made, including before they were born, before they venture onto the internet?
shareNo they don't. Commenters shouldn't have to worry about spoilers years after a movie has been released. Heck, I don't think you should have to worry it a year later. If you haven't seen a movie a year or more old and come to a discussion board you should know you are risking finding out something you may not want to know.
Some concern about spoilers is appropriate for a movie just out. Otherwise, be aware that people are talking about all aspects of a film and you will see something you may not want to know.
I agree that people shouldn't have to worry about spoilers within the message board about a certain movie. So like in any of these threads I don't even think people should have to warn about spoilers for ASM1. If you come to this message board, you should be aware that you may get spoiled about this movie.
But the idea that you shouldn't have to care about whether you spoil any of the tens of thousands (or is it hundreds of thousands?) of movies that have ever been made, which people may still be interested in seeing unspoiled at some point and have no particular reason to be expect to be brought up in a board about an unrelated movie? That's just being a thoughtless jerk.
So where is the line? What should we suppress or mark off? When is the cut off date? I generally will put spoiler warnings on something less than a year old. After that point I don't.
People need to take responsibility for what they read. If they are going to site which discusses something (movie, TV, book, magazine, politics, or whatever) they should realize they may see or read something that will reveal a point of plot, character, or thought. The people on that discussion group should not have to twist and turn their language, or make labels, or black out lines to prevent someone else from accidental exposure. They should be concerned with making their point and enjoying the discussion with others who have an interest in the topic.
You ask when the cut off date is. There's no cut off date. You shouldn't spoil the ending to even a Shakespeare play, whatever. No matter how old it is, there are still going to be plenty of people who have not experienced it yet and you should let them experience it unspoiled.
I mean, you may as well argue that there should be no spoiler protection for anybody ever. Because your time guidelines make no sense. If it's bad to spoil things, then it's bad to spoil them no matter when they came out and no one is going to read every book and watch every movie before the first time they go on the Internet.
We are apparently of diametrically opposed positions. I'm sorry you think I should avoid spoilers for Gilgamesh. Its not going to happen and I don't think most people are going to work themselves into knots to avoid spoiling years old stories. You are on your own here. The real world awaits and it isn't going to care about your paranoia.
shareIt's not "paranoia", it's a simple preference not to be spoiled. I mean, you're not actually arguing that because something is old, everyone or even most people have already seen or read it. Right? You do understand that the more years go by, the more content there is, and the greater chance a random reader will be spoiled when you just blurt out spoilers. You just think it's fine to spoil people rather than have to spend five seconds typing a spoiler warning. Correct? Just want to make sure you are absolutely clear that you are asserting that your laziness is more important than consideration for others.
shareYes, I understand all of that. My point is this is a discussion board. It is meant to discuss movies. I will discuss movies. I do not believe in having to twist myself in a knot to prevent a spoiler for someone who hasn't seen it. If they come to a discussion forum, wherever it may be, they know, or should know, that spoilers are likely to be discussed. If they do not what to see/hear spoilers, then they should avoid those types of site/places until they have seen/read the material. It is not my responsibility to make sure other people do not have their experiences "spoiled." It is theirs.
Out of politeness I will avoid spoilers for recent content to allow folks to have a chance to see something. I understand that not everyone is going to be there opening day. I don't always see something for days, weeks, or months after opening depending on the item.
But I have a time limit for that. If I go to a board on something I haven't seen (and I do since, among other things, I check out any film/show that is currently trending on the home page of movie chat) then I take responsibility for what I see/read. If I happen to see something that is a "spoiler" I don't concern myself, I don't complain to the poster. Seeing it is MY fault, not anyone else's.
If you do not want to see spoilers, then do NOT go to discussion boards for those items until after you have seen them. If you want to know if you should see a film/show, find a reviewer you trust: by that I mean someone who, more often than not, shares your opinion of things you have seen. Follow them to evaluate the film. Check out the star rating here, IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes or other site without delving into the discussion.
OK, now I see we have had a giant misunderstanding, but I did try to make this clear earlier. I absolutely agree that if you go to a discussion board for movie X, you should expect you may run into spoilers for movie X. All I was ever saying is that if somebody brings up a comparison to movie Y, then they ought to give a spoiler warning.
In this case the lines are blurred a bit because although the spoiler was not for the movie this board is about (ASM1), it is about another Spider-Man movie--and I can see an argument being made that people should expect discussion of any Spider-Man movie to be fair game.
What I thought you were saying, in part because I have seen people argue this before, is that if a movie is a decade old or more, you ought to be able to make references to any part of the movie (including the ending) without a warning, even on a totally unrelated board.
Like let's say we were talking about DUNE on the DUNE board, and suddenly someone says "oh yeah, that's like when we find out _____ at the end of THE USUAL SUSPECTS." 😑
Anyway, if I understand you correctly now, it doesn't seem like we disagree at all.
