    Default Anyone worried about spoilers for TF3?

    There was a huge outcry about protecting spoilers during the lead up to the 2007 Movie, and even the 2009 Movie... but I'm just not feeling it this time around.

    Is anyone trying to avoid TF3 posts/news/reviews/acquisitions here?

    Or, are you not bothered about being spoiled anymore? And if so, is it because the 'fad' of the Movie Universe is no longer there to want to hold off until its release to be excited? Or you were so let down by the second one, you don't care what is in the third one to be spoilt? Or after 4 years of Movie Universe, you don't expect there to be much that is significantly new in the third movie? Or some other reason?


    At this time, as part of the running of this forum, I've kept Movie toy Reviews in the Movie section because of potential spoilers (but also because unreleased toys are news-worthy).
    If there isn't a significant avoidance of TF3 info/postings because of spoilers, I can relocate the reviews when the toys start to be released, instead of when the movie comes out 6 weeks later.
    It would also mean not having to create separate acquisitions and sightings topics for Movie toys.

    We will always have a separate Movie News section, due to the sheer volume of Movie News content - it makes it easier to follow or avoid Movie Universe news/info.

    Ive never avoided spoilers since movie 1. Doesn't bother me if there be any spoilers on any thread i might happen upon, but Im not actively seeking out info for the movies anyways. I dunno, mebbe I aint so excited anymore about it after movie one. Somehow it hasnt held any great WOW factor to me even though it is Transformers, but yeh, TF3 is kinda meh news to me...

    People have caught on what to expect from a Michael Bay movie (take that as you will).

    He follows a pretty straight formula which despite differences in quality, it was still pretty noticeable in both TF1 and TF2 so there is very little surprises to be had. The story is really little more than threads that string together his action set pieces and not much more than that so if you are familiar with Bay's work, you pretty much already know what to expect regardless if you like his style or not.

    Hard to avoid character spoilers what with comic covers, most other TF websites, some people's signatures () But I have watched only the teaser trailer and would prefer not to know any more of the plot than I've already picked up by osmosis.

    The first movie proved that toys don't mean an appearance in the film and with my attendance at BotCon it's pretty hard to not see what toys are coming. But I only know for sure that three new toys are in the movie and am happy to wait and see which of those other designs are in the movie. I don't need or want anyone spelling it out before hand.

    The first and second movies also proves that a G1 name given to a robot in the Bay movie doesn't mean a robot thats anything like the G1 character is in the movie.

    Still would be nice to get some surprises in DOTM. I don't get why people want to know everything about a movie years before they see it.

    So I'd been happy for DOTM toy reviews and sightings to be in regular sections but questions about movie plot to be kept separate from general discussions.

    I'm not concerned about spoilers for anything, let alone TF or TF3 movie news.

    It doesn't bother me in the slightest that I know in advance what's going to happen in a book/movie/game/life - I guess that's just me, even if I've been subjected to spoilers, they never 'spoil' it for me.

    Am not really fussed about spoilers. Haven't been looking or information on the story of the movie, but haven't been actively avoiding either.

    Toys end up being spoilers I guess, but that has always been the way with Transformers and I like to know whats cming out before it's out so I can plan, so having things spoiled in that respect is kind of expected.

    Considering this is the third movie, I'm fairly certain that most people already know what it's about and who the main characters will be. If I stumble across the odd spoiler here or there, I'm not fussed however I respect those that try to avoid all details prior to seeing the movie.
