This extreme obsession with spoilers is a hallmark of the 21st century

The element of surprise, which is always unique to the first viewing, must be respected. For all the books, movies and television series around us, each of which means something to someone, the least we can do is help people enjoy what they love.

Endgame is the final chapter of the Avengers series of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which began in 2008. GoT premiered with its first season in 2011, as a television adaptation of George Martin’s long-running series of novels A Song of Ice and Fire.

In the world of popular entertainment, April and May marked the release of Marvel Studios’ billion-dollar superhero movie Avengers: Endgame, as well as the final season of HBO’s medieval fantasy series, Game of Thrones (GoT). Arguably two of the biggest entertainment spectacles of the decade, social media was, and still is, abuzz with discussions about both — the stories, their characters, fan theories. And spoilers.
