Listen. I like The Concourse. It does some great things with film culture commentary. This article is not one of those things. If you guys want to troll, go play LoL.

The way that you are defending it makes it crystal clear that the article’s title was a deliberate attempt to drive page views by people upset about the embedded spoiler.
Samer, maybe you should grow up and learn from your co-workers at io9 and Kotaku. They avoid crap like this.
I follow this site daily so fuck off—spoilers are bullshit and you assholes knew what you were doing with the headline. So of course people object and what do you do? Double-down on the assholery, ‘natch. Fuck you, douche canoe.
Or you could, and get this, not post spoiler filled article titles for movies that came out THREE DAYS AGO and then repost it to the sports board.
Because I’m sure that’s the only person who’s going to care about spoilers for one of the most hyped movies of the year being published in the headlines on opening weekend - not like anybody else cares, right? I mean if they didn’t bother to go opening weekend, they clearly must not care.
I’m not sure you’re the person to tell someone to “grow up”
Such a dick. It’s not even your article.
No, but you’re trying to attract readers. Pissing a bunch off by spoiling a movie less than a week after it’s release seems unwise. It’s not like the article is so important it couldn’t wait. Or that it would be hurt with a warning or less explicit title.
Hey, maybe if I wasn’t normally such a fan of the site that I follow it on Twitter and Facebook so that the spoiler title had an extra two chances to do its work, it wouldn’t be such a big deal. No reason to be a dick about it, particularly when the article doesn’t exist for any reason other than to be a spoiler.
The movie’s just 3 days old, in America at least. No one’s asking for the article to be edited - just the title.
Normally I’d agree with this sentiment, but given that it just released this past Friday the title could have been worded better.
No one said it should. But it’s common sense to avoid spoilers in a title.
Hey, thanks for the fucking spoiler right in the title.
