Yep, the T2 trailer giving away the biggest twist comes to mind. Older trailers straight up went over the key plot points.
I used to watch trailers religiously and completely stopped. Getting fully surprised by the movie itself is so great.
I read up people's reaction to the trailers but no longer watch them. Or only after watching the movie because some trailers are amazingly well made.
It's kind of weird at cinemas where I would close my eyes or look around and ignore the trailers.
I'm bringing back that feeling of watching a movie and knowing only what the poster looks like and remembering how fun that was. Sometimes I don't even know the genre of the movie.
