lol...I don't think that Shinigami357 or I were even hinting that we would ever actively or intentionally spoil a story for someone... we're merely in agreement that it's nothing to get your panties in a bunch over.
I "care" about every story I read/see. Even the shitty ones. I try to figure out what the writer/director was going for and whether I feel they accomplished what they set out to do. A good story sucks you in, evokes some sort of feeling (much like a good song), regardless of whether you already know what's going to happen and to whom.
I can admit that sometimes a plot twist can be effective. However, over the past couple decades the plot twist has become a gimmick. Often times the plot twist at the end is written first and the rest of the story is merely filler leading up to it.
