I don't think it's a Disney thing.

[–] yessikg@fedia.io -1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, it is. It only truly started being a thing when Disney took over Marvel

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Huh? I don't care about Disney at all and I hate spoilers. People also complained when Battlestar Galactica did the same thing.

People complaining about spoilers have been a thing for longer, but this insistence on no spoilers at all started with Disney's super intense secret keeping for the MCU

I always didn't like how Battlestar Galactica did the same "show clips from the episode" in the intro either. I don't think many people did either.

That was the standard for years, Murder She Wrote would sometimes even show the murder in the intro

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 1 points 7 hours ago

That I would also hate.
