I saw the GotG trailer in theaters but didn't see Thanos in there. Haven't followed news about the movie either. Which trailers did he show up in?



If it's over, why did that guy just post about it
Yeah I got agree with this I haven't seen Thanos in any promotional material myself although I do remember the thread about the Brolin casting.

Serious post: what does it change for you guys that you now know that this character can be seen for a few moments in the post credit scene?

It is not like the death of a main character or something like that

Well he's in the actual movie not the post credit scene, so there's that.

Spoilers for GotG (IVE SEEN THE FILM SPOILERS FOR REAL)

It's not a post-credit scene. Thanos is a character in the film. If I had that spoiled I'd be a little miffed.

He's not even in the post credit scene, hes a featured character in the movie, which makes it even more ridiculous.
 
Brolin's got the chin for it but god damn does thanos look fucking corny

Marvel and DC are soon gonna turn into power rangers. I was half expecting Rita repulsa to show her nasty ass in the first Thor movie

Who is the impetus on for doing "the right thing" here? Is it more reasonable for people who want to avoid spoilers to justify why they want to avoid them, or is it more reasonable for people posting about spoilers to mark them?
 
I'm sorry to say that we're currently deliberating re: besada's de-modding.

You're all free to yea or nay.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
NIck Fury kills Thanos?

This thread is fucking ridiculous. So GAF overreacted to something and took it to heart and went with it and......this is new?

Why hasn't this been locked? The mods aren't helping the situation here but are prolonging it. I haven't been a member of GAF for long, but jesus christ. Everyone is overreacting to everything, including the mods.

Idk, maybe this topic has gone on for too long thus becoming a parody of itself, ultimately becoming a nothingness thread.

I don't want to get banned, but I'm sure I might for speaking against the mods, but come on.

Lulz. Guess I forgot. Like I said last night, this doesn't bother me because I haven't really been looking forward to GotG, so it's not something actively on my radar and doesn't really affect me. But I was contributing to the general discussion about spoiler practices.

You don't really care, but you still felt the need to come and complain incessantly, and now you did it for the general public? Right.

If this was some sort of TLOF thing or some Squaresoft game, there would be mass nuking going on in the gaming section, bans, posts being deleted, people threatening each other, and twitter orgies.

I don't care much for this franchise or anything, but i do feel that it's a spoiler, and for people who cares about this, it must suck.

Can i get a recap please?

Guy posts a picture of Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy, titles thread "First Look at Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy."

Couple people say "cool," couple other people go "Spoiler right in the title bro?" Thus ensues the back and forth over whether or not it's actually a spoiler.

Duckroll comes in and clarifies this isn't a spoiler, expresses frustration at knee-jerk spoilerphobia making legitimate discussion harder to engage in. People then begin to debate whether or not Marvel's announcing that the character is in the movie counts as a spoiler or not.

The typical arguments over perspective and consideration break out as people demand others keep their spoiler-blackouts in mind when having conversations, and others expressing their frustration at having to tiptoe around spoilerphobes who are trying to expand the definition of spoiler to include things movie studios are promoting and making public themselves.

Adding to the evidence that shows Marvel doesn't consider this a spoiler, and that the knowledge of Thanos' appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy is months old, a thread is discovered with an even more blatant title, and within that thread are some of the most vocal spoilerphobes, none of whom are acting like the information about Josh Brolin as Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy is a spoiler.

Then, as a means to comment on the total absurdity of people who have literally forgotten the non-spoiler they didn't think was a spoiler, complaining about being spoiled with information they've already known and forgotten - some mods went and changed thread titles to be Thanos-centric, including the Steam thread on Gaming side - where complaints were minimal, and even the complaints that DID occur were nowhere near as vitriolic or strenuous as the ones in this thread.

As a result of the thread-title changing, Besada is demodded.
