Science Says That Knowing Spoilers Might Actually Make You Enjoy a Story More
When it comes to spoilers, I’m not really bothered by them. For the most part I read spoilers all the time. Very rarely do I pass up on the opportunity to know any spoilers for any number of movies or TV shows. I’ll take what I can get!
I’ve personally never felt that that my viewing experience of anything that I’ve known major plot points about has been hindered. In fact, I kind of like know what to expect. One of the most recent films for me for this was Avengers: Infinity War. I was told every major plot point of that film months before it came out and I still loved the hell out of it!
I know not everyone is going to agree with my opinion on spoilers, but now science and scholarly articles are backing me up! There’s a video essay for you below which breaks down the reasons why spoilers might actually be good. They may even make you enjoy a story even more!
