Game Of Thrones spoilers: After getting through season 3 unscathed I decided to buy the remaining books and read them properly TO AVOID SPOILERS, and when I was buying A Dance With Dragons on barnesandnoble.com, the little synopsis on the purchase page said Tyrion Lannister, having killed his father...

someone spoiled the entirety of Thor 3 on facebook, but in reverse. ended the post with "oh, btw. Spoilers" thankfully, there wasn't anything too crazy to spoil in that one.

GoT: Red Wedding

Mistborn: Vin's Earring

Izual got me on something here, but it's been so long I can't even remember what it was. been on ignore ever since, though.

I desperately try to consume any media I'm interested in on day 1, though, to avoid spoiler issues as much as possible.

Spoilers don't bother me. Sometimes I'll spoil myself to see if I'm interested. It's more soul crushing to me to invest into something that turns out to be disappointing.

Kubo and the two strings. I went to Wikipedia to check the voice actors and release date.

It had the major plot spoilers in the character descriptions, right next to the links to the voice actor names. So, after seeing the first one, I thought ok there won't be one bigger spoiler than that one... Just to see a bigger one on the next character.

Yeah, same for me. Especially if its something like a TV show or book series that will eat up a lot of time.

I was spoiled on the red wedding, though only a little; I had seen on tvtropes someone mention Robb's wife leading to his downfall, but no more than that.

But I think what was worse for me was Sirius Black's death. I was flipping through the book a little when I first got it, probably to see the page count, and saw the beginning of the chapter where Harry says in all caps "SIRIUS IS NOT DEAD".

It didn't really affect me as I just thought the movie was okay but I accidentally walked in on the last ten minutes of Fight Club. Everyone had seen it so it was a pretty normal watch-party for them but when I said "Huh, that was interesting. What movie was that?" they acted like they just murdered my puppy or something.

I tend to drop off the internet once spoilers start circulating.

I guess the last major thing I got spoiled on was Avengers Infinity War ending but I was kind of expecting it anyway.

I got this one spoiled for me but only because I apparently answered the questions wrong, the game simply ended with the little girl dying, me asking Wait, is that really the ending of the game? and looking up how its supposed to end if you answer the questions right.

Been doing my damn best to avoid any news regarding TLOU2 for months now. Don't even know what all the hate is about. And like an hour ago, in yet another topic about easy modes in souls games, I believe somebody mentioned why all the hate for the game and why they felt lied to.

Asshole poster.

This is the wrong way to do spoiler tags, by the way. You tell people the media you are about to spoil first, then put the actual spoiler in a spoiler tag.

A big one for me was while I was reading Wheel of Time and was a few books in.

I went to search a character name to understand something better and it had the character name followed by death as the first suggestion

It was Egwene and I was really upset at myself for stumbling on that.

Star Wars The Force Awakens

I went to my regular gas station to buy beer, I casually kind of know the clerk, he's a middle aged guy. He asks me if I had seen the new Star Wars movie yet. I replied with "No, I plan on going tomorrow"

So he just fucking blurts out "Oh, well Han Solo dies! Can you believe that?"

I just stared at him blank for a few seconds and got my shit and left. I never went back to that gas station. Who does that?

The first thing you mentioned was really out of character too, but then Galactica clearly went way off the rails that last season. I honestly think the writers were drunk for some of the shit they pulled.

Harry Potter spoiler, it was a delayed effect. When I finally watched the part where Snape kills Dumbledore and everything that lead up to that point I realized I had been robbed of a truly impact ful moment. Really made me mad at gfaqs folk, cuz they spoiled it for me years in advance, I never forgot those spoilers cuz it was basically a meme to spoil that part of Harry Potter.
