ComicBookMovie.com, a site notorious for people trolling and posting spoilers in the comics section for big upcoming blockbusters. Particularly in the last few weeks leading up to the release of Iron Man 3.
Part of the excitement of big upcoming blockbusters, such as the comic book movies routinely covered on this site, is the mystery of them; the not knowing what to expect and whom to expect it from. But characters such as FuturePast,(any iteration of that name) and the lesser known, TheSpoiler.
They, to me, were the key players in the ruining of Iron Man 3 for everyone else. But this article is not meat to mindlessly bash them. it is to try understand why someone feels the need to spoil films for themselves and others, and what we as a community could do to fix this issue.
First, lets examine these people. We'll start with FuturePast, A big fan of the Iron Man comics who was particularly upset with the twist in the film. While he is certainly a douchebag, we cannot berate him for being this passionate about the comic book characters we all love. I am in no way defending his actions. Now lets move on to TheSpoiler. He is a troll.
Now what can we do to fix this issue that seems to be plaguing all huge comic blockbusters. How about, whenever someone posts something spoiler related in the comments section of an article, if it doesn't have the proper tags to distinguish to other the spoilerific nature of the comment; it be checked over by the editor of that article.
This is an issue that can be easily solved, but not just by my input. Let me, and the big guy, know what we can do to better this community, in the comments sections.
