At the risk of straying the thread further off-topic, is it really that crazy?

As someone who's not at all averse to being spoiled, that seems like a narrow-minded viewpoint. I personally feel that if a story can't be enjoyed knowing the outcome, it probably isn't a very good story. I've seen lots of shows knowing tons of major plot details ahead of time, and I find it's more to fun to pick up on bits of foreshadowing you might not notice than it is to be in suspense all the time.

I actually had Blade's ending spoiled on this very forum while I was in the middle of watching it a couple years ago, and that didn't stop it from being the best ending a Kamen Rider show has ever had.

But that's the thing, I personally don't mind. New people are being born literally every day, and a lot of those people like to go into stuff they get interested in without knowing every little detail. It's not their fault they were born two decades too late, or that they'd never heard of it until a year ago.

I don't think it's too much to ask you type two words in brackets before mentioning that Darth Vader is Luke's dad, is all.
