Recent trailers have revealed plot points that would normally be considered spoilers. Should studios stop doing this?

Yes, although it has been that way for many many years. I also hate the concept of teaser trailers for trailers, as well as “THE. TRAILER. STARTS. NOW!” as if it’s meant to build some kind of hype.

The problem with those videos is that they’re designed for the YouTube advert system. Show the big moments to get them interested and then they sit and watch the ad/trailer rather than skip it.

It looks odd when you’re viewing it separately though.
