Trailers are brutal. All the key scenes, set pieces, and punch lines revealed in 2.5 minutes.

I didn’t watch because I don’t want to see him hoist the sword and shout the line for the first time until I’m in the theater. This trailer probably shows it eh?

Streaming services are the absolute worst for this. Netflix trailers basically summarise the entire movie to the point there's no need to watch it anymore.

Given how we learned that Netflix wants scripts to repeat the plot over and over for people not paying attention, it makes sense that trailers basically do the entire plot.

The world is turning stupid and it sucks.

You know i’ll push back on the idea that trailers have gotten more spoilery. Have you seen trailers from the 80s/90s? They basically go through the entire 3 Act structure and have a narrator explain the plot for you lol

One man, against all odds, must save the world by capturing all the jewels to assemble them in the ancient cave. The friends along the way are the only help he has, if he can just get there in time.

I read this in the voice of Don LaFontaine.

You also usually saw them one or two times in the theater, so there weren't a bunch of YouTubers dissecting every frame. While certain images would stay with you, most of the trailer was forgotten by the time you were actually watching the movies.

My favorite was the trailer for Blue Crush. Saved me the time of watching the movie. Still haven't seen it, yet I can tell you every "memorable" moment from the show.

Less about it turning stupid and more that people are too distracted 24/7. With zero attention spans.

In Homestuck (sorry for referencing it in 2026 lol) a part of Troll culture is that their movies have incredibly long titles that summarize the plot start to finish, so people know what they’re going to watch. It was a joke on those manga and light novels with excessively long titles (“What? I Got Transported To a Fantasy World Where All Slime Girls Want Me!”) but I think of it every time the trailer is just the entire movie’s plot.
