Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today I had lunch with Coby and it made me realize something. I hate suspense and surprises, so most of the shows that I have watched had been spoiled for me before I started watching. It doesn’t affect my ability to watch the show, and make the experience better for me. The only thing that I can’t watch after knowing the result is sports, so if there is a game I want to watch, I have to stay off social media. However, that is not the case for most people. Most people find that knowing what happens defeats the purpose of watching in the first place and they avoid spoilers at all cost, Coby.
I realized after this conversation that this concept applies to many things. If someone tells you something is bad, do you take their word for it or want to experience it yourself? If someone tells you that someone is not trustworthy because of something they did to them, do you distance yourself from them, or be friends with who you want to be with? A few weeks ago I gave a terrible movie review and asked if you would still watch it after knowing that.
I’m curious what all of you think. Does knowing what happens in a show or movie stop you from watching it? Do you usually like suspense and surprises?
If anyone is looking for a new show, watch Teenage Bounty Hunters on Netflix.
You are crazy. IF someone tells me what's gonna happen it ruins the show. If I new Schmidt was gonna marry cece there would be no point in watching!
ReplyDeleteI can definately see why you think this. I also don't like surprises that much as you don't know what's coming and it could be either good or bad. But also,if something good will happen it makes it harder to wait for it even if it's good or bad.
