Before we get started:
SPOILERS. ALL THE SPOILERS.
You've been warned.
Reddit user, u/amoss_303, wanted to know how the ending was ruined for you when they asked:
What movie got ruined for you before you got to see it?
The Most Infamous Of All
The 6th Sense, some kid told me the ending in class while all the hype was still there
Right before my wife and I got married I found out that not only had she never seen it, but I quickly understood she had no knowledge of a twist whatsoever. My mind was blown, but at least I got to witness her genuine reaction when she put it together. This was 2015 by the way. No idea how she avoided it.
Thanks...Dad.
My dad came home from watching The Force Awakens and spoiled Han's death for me. Took me until after The Last Jedi was released on DVD for me to actually sit down and watch The Force Awakens, by which time my dad had a) forgotten that he spoiled that reveal for me, and b) forgotten that I still hadn't seen it.
So I've now watched Force Awakens with it being much less impactful and interesting, and haven't managed to work up the heart to continue with the next two. I'd been looking forward to the new movie coming out, but didn't feel like watching a movie that specific day Dad went to see it. Then he spoiled it and it's kinda ruined my interest in the entire series a little bit 😕
Never Trust Public Message Boards
Someone on the Smash 4 stage that allowed you to see public messages and pictures wrote Han Solo died in The Force Awakens...I was going to watch it that night.
...And Hopefully You Still Haven't?
A Quiet Place.
I was doing an education observation at my old high school and some geek in band class talked about the ending right there in front of me.
Until thay day I had never punched a kid.
Curse You, Franchises!
Star Trek II. I had known that Spock appeared in TNG so therefore his death at the end of TWOK wasn't as much of an emotional moment for me.
I can imagine it being one of the most shocking and sad moments when it came out however.
It Drains All Meaning From The Story
Gravity.
My mom brought it up, and even though I told her not to spoil anything REPEATEDLY that night she kept telling spoilers and why she thought the movie was bad. I've still never seen it, and even though I can't remember much of anything she said I just have no desire to watch it now. I could have loved it, hated it or just found it meh, but It just won't mean anything to me now.
You Have To Have Watched ALL The Movies Before Ever Watching The Simpsons
I still haven't seen it but Citizen Kane.
Thanks Matt Groening.
Check Your Copy, Netflix! Geez...
Most recently. Sergio.
I knew nothing about the original story.
The day I planned to watch it on Netflix I went on to see if it was there and then I noticed that there was another version of Sergio right beside it. I clicked on the other version. Turns out it was the documentary which in the tagline
Spoiler alert says that the dude dies in Iraq.
Fail Him, Sir! Fail That Man!
We were about to watch 12 Angry Men in english class and as the teacher is talking about it some guy says "he gets off!" and the teacher just scoffs at him for spoiling the ending for everybody lol
When The Trailer Gives It Away.
Not a movie, but the next season of Stranger Things. They answered the biggest question from the last season in the first few moments of the trailer and cut all suspense.
Don't Want To Say Get A New Husband, But...
Shutter Island.
I was watching with my husband and about half way through, he asked "Isn't this the one where Leonardo DiCaprio [insert twist ending]?"
Breaking The Key Rule Of The Movie
Fight Club.
On the plus side that movie is definitely fun on the second viewing (which was my first).
Whoever spoiled it for you didn't follow the first rule of Fight Club.
Spoiling It As IT HAPPENS
[Monty Python and the] Holy Grail
Spent two weeks camping with a kid who knew the whole goddamn script.
The very first time I watched it, my boyfriend's cousins joined in shortly after.
Think an assorted chorus of 15 or so voices announcing or reciting every single joke and gag 10s before it happened on screen.
A Legendary, Lost Reveal
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
I really wish I could've seen the Darth Vader reveal when it came out but alas, I was a decade too late...
My dad told me the whole plot to Star Wars right before we watched it together when I was little. Even at that age (7 or so) I was so pissed off that he spoiled the Darth Vader reveal. Like, he wanted to explain how shocking and impactful it was to see it in theaters but I could have just had that experience myself. Did the same thing with Sixth Sense. Whyyyy
Dad! Again??
Force Awakens. Some a--hole I knew texted me "Han solo dies" and I was pissed.
My dad and I went to one of the early Thursday screenings of that, so when we left there were hundreds of people lined up still for later screenings. My dad, being the excited Star Wars nerd he is and not at all intending to be malicious, loudly yells "I can't believe they killed Han Solo!"
The people around him were so, so mad.
*thinks about it for 6 seconds* Oh Yeah...
Free Willy.
The poster is the ending. Always thought that was weird.
Trailers?! Again!?
Cast Away.
I had seen a preview for it ... which showed the final outcome of this suspenseful movie. Why??
Seriously, Movies, What The Heck?
My dad spoiled the original Planet of the Apes just before I was about to watch it
I still can't believe the movie is spoiling itself with the Staue of Liberty Advertising. The whole point is that the characters arrive on an ALIEN planet, and then it's a literally last-second twist.
Awful Human
Infinity War got spoiled for me. I still went and saw it, but goddamn was I pissed about the Spiderman scene being spoiled.
Same! I saw a meme that spoiled it the NIGHT it came out.
What An Awful, Awful Human
Avengers Endgame
About to go watch the movie with my girlfriend who wanted Starbucks. Two baristas behind the counter. One of them was talking about how they don't want it spoiled for them while the other was talking about how great it was.
This b-tch proceeds to stop what she's doing with five customers in line, ignore her coworkers wish, and blabs to her exactly what happens in the movie including who dies.
I look back and there is a middle aged mother visibly frustrated and sad, not only that she can't get her pink drink fast enough, but because the one thing she had to look forward in the week was ruined.
Nope. Nevermind. This Is The Worst Person.
My Physics teacher had Avengers Endgame ruined by a student. They wrote 'Iron Man dies in Endgame' on the last question of their test 2 days before my teacher planned to see it.
"Did you do it?"
"Yes."
"What did it cost?"
F on final for both terms, mandatory 20 hours after school suspension
"Everything."
It's Not What They Say, It's How They Say It.
Basically any movie that people sit and say "you havent seen it? Oh my god you gotta see it."
Maybe it hypes it up too much, or maybe Im just an a--hole and when they say i have to, I instantly decide I'm not gonna like it just because they say i should.
My brain is an idiot like that.
Do you have something to confess to George? Text "Secrets" or "" to +1 (310) 299-9390 to talk him about it.
Experiencing death is a fascinating and frightening idea.
Who doesn't want to know what is waiting for us on the other side?
But so many of us want to know and then come back and live a little longer.
It would be so great to be sure there is something else.
But the whole dying part is not that great, so we'll have to rely on other people's accounts.
Redditor AlaskaStiletto wanted to hear from everyone who has returned to life, so they asked:
"Redditors who have 'died' and come back to life, what did you see?"
Sensations
Happy Good Vibes GIF by Major League SoccerGiphy"My dad's heart stopped when he had a heart attack and he had to be brought back to life. He kept the paper copy of the heart monitor which shows he flatlined. He said he felt an overwhelming sensation of peace, like nothing he had felt before."

Recovery
"I had surgical complications in 2010 that caused a great deal of blood loss. As a result, I had extremely low blood pressure and could barely stay awake. I remember feeling like I was surrounded by loved ones who had passed. They were in a circle around me and I knew they were there to guide me onwards. I told them I was not ready to go because my kids needed me and I came back."
"My nurse later said she was afraid she’d find me dead every time she came into the room."
"It took months, and blood transfusions, but I recovered."

Take Me Back
"Overwhelming peace and happiness. A bright airy and floating feeling. I live a very stressful life. Imagine finding out the person you have had a crush on reveals they have the same feelings for you and then you win the lotto later that day - that was the feeling I had."
"I never feared death afterward and am relieved when I hear of people dying after suffering from an illness."

Free
The Light Minnie GIF by (G)I-DLEGiphy"I had a heart surgery with near-death experience, for me at least (well the possibility that those effects are caused by morphine is also there) I just saw black and nothing else but it was warm and I had such inner peace, its weird as I sometimes still think about it and wish this feeling of being so light and free again."
TooReDTooHigh
This is why I hate surgery.
You just never know.
Shocked
Giphy"More of a near-death experience. I was electrocuted. I felt like I was in a deep hole looking straight up in the sky. My life flashed before me. Felt sad for my family, but I had a deep sense of peace."
Admirable_Buyer6528
The SOB
"Nursing in the ICU, we’ve had people try to die on us many times during the years, some successfully. One guy stood out to me. His heart stopped. We called a code, are working on him, and suddenly he comes to. We hadn’t vented him yet, so he was able to talk, and he started screaming, 'Don’t let them take me, don’t let them take me, they are coming,' he was scared and yelling."
"Then he yelled a little more, as we tried to calm him down, he screamed, 'No, No,' and gestured towards the end of the bed, and died again. We didn’t get him back. It was seriously creepy. We called his son to tell him the news, and the son said basically, 'Good, he was an SOB.'”

Colors
"My sister died and said it was extremely peaceful. She said it was very loud like a train station and lots of talking and she was stuck in this area that was like a curtain with lots of beautiful colors (colors that you don’t see in real life according to her) a man told her 'He was sorry, but she had to go back as it wasn’t her time.'"
Hannah_LL7
"I had a really similar experience except I was in an endless garden with flowers that were colors I had never seen before. It was quiet and peaceful and a woman in a dress looked at me, shook her head, and just said 'Not yet.' As I was coming back, it was extremely loud, like everyone in the world was trying to talk all at once. It was all very disorienting but it changed my perspective on life!"

The Fog
"I was in a gray fog with a girl who looked a lot like a young version of my grandmother (who was still alive) but dressed like a pioneer in the 1800s she didn't say anything but kept pulling me towards an opening in the wall. I kept refusing to go because I was so tired."
"I finally got tired of her nagging and went and that's when I came to. I had bled out during a c-section and my heart could not beat without blood. They had to deliver the baby and sew up the bleeders. refill me with blood before they could restart my heart so, like, at least 12 minutes gone."

Through the Walls
"My spouse was dead for a couple of minutes one miserable night. She maintains that she saw nothing, but only heard people talking about her like through a wall. The only thing she remembers for absolute certain was begging an ER nurse that she didn't want to die."
"She's quite alive and well today."

Well let's all be happy to be alive.
It seems to be all we have.
Trying to lose weight is a struggle understood by many people regardless of size.
The goal of reaching a healthy weight may seem unattainable, but with diet and exercise, it can pay off through persistence and discipline.
Seeing the pounds gradually drop off can also be a great motivator and incentivize people to stay the course.
Those who've achieved their respective weight goals shared their experiences when Redditor apprenti8455 asked:
"People who lost a lot of weight, what surprises you the most now?"
Redditors didn't see these coming.
Shiver Me Timbers
"I’m always cold now!"
– Telrom_1
"I had a coworker lose over 130 pounds five or six years ago. I’ve never seen him without a jacket on since."
– r7ndom
"140 lbs lost here starting just before COVID, I feel like that little old lady that's always cold, damn this top comment was on point lmao."
– mr_remy
Drawing Concern
"I lost 100 pounds over a year and a half but since I’m old(70’s) it seems few people comment on it because (I think) they think I’m wasting away from some terminal illness."
– dee-fondy
"Congrats on the weight loss! It’s honestly a real accomplishment 🙂"
"Working in oncology, I can never comment on someone’s weight loss unless I specifically know it was on purpose, regardless of their age. I think it kind of ruffles feathers at times, but like I don’t want to congratulate someone for having cancer or something. It’s a weird place to be in."
– LizardofDeath
Unleashing Insults
"I remember when I lost the first big chunk of weight (around 50 lbs) it was like it gave some people license to talk sh*t about the 'old' me. Old coworkers, friends, made a lot of not just negative, but harsh comments about what I used to look like. One person I met after the big loss saw a picture of me prior and said, 'Wow, we wouldn’t even be friends!'”
"It wasn’t extremely common, but I was a little alarmed by some of the attention. My weight has been up and down since then, but every time I gain a little it gets me a little down thinking about those things people said."
– alanamablamaspama
Not Everything Goes After Losing Weight
"The loose skin is a bit unexpected."
– KeltarCentauri
"I haven’t experienced it myself, but surgery to remove skin takes a long time to recover. Longer than bariatric surgery and usually isn’t covered by insurance unless you have both."
– KatMagic1977
"It definitely does take a long time to recover. My Dad dropped a little over 200 pounds a few years back and decided to go through with skin removal surgery to deal with the excess. His procedure was extensive, as in he had skin taken from just about every part of his body excluding his head, and he went through hell for weeks in recovery, and he was bedridden for a lot of it."
– Jaew96
These Redditors shared their pleasantly surprising experiences.
Shopping
"I can buy clothes in any store I want."
– WaySavvyD
"When I lost weight I was dying to go find cute, smaller clothes and I really struggled. As someone who had always been restricted to one or two stores that catered to plus-sized clothing, a full mall of shops with items in my size was daunting. Too many options and not enough knowledge of brands that were good vs cheap. I usually went home pretty frustrated."
– ganache98012
No More Symptoms
"Lost about 80 pounds in the past year and a half, biggest thing that I’ve noticed that I haven’t seen mentioned on here yet is my acid reflux and heartburn are basically gone. I used to be popping tums every couple hours and now they just sit in the medicine cabinet collecting dust."
– colleennicole93
Expanding Capabilities
"I'm all for not judging people by their appearance and I recognise that there are unhealthy, unachievable beauty standards, but one thing that is undeniable is that I can just do stuff now. Just stamina and flexibility alone are worth it, appearance is tertiary at best."
– Ramblonius
People Change Their Tune
"How much nicer people are to you."
"My feet weren't 'wide' they were 'fat.'"
– LiZZygsu
"Have to agree. Lost 220 lbs, people make eye contact and hold open doors and stuff"
"And on the foot thing, I also lost a full shoe size numerically and also wear regular width now 😅"
– awholedamngarden
It's gonna take some getting used to.
Bones Everywhere
"Having bones. Collarbones, wrist bones, knee bones, hip bones, ribs. I have so many bones sticking out everywhere and it’s weird as hell."
– Princess-Pancake-97
"I noticed the shadow of my ribs the other day and it threw me, there’s a whole skeleton in here."
– bekastrange
Knee Pillow
"Right?! And they’re so … pointy! Now I get why people sleep with pillows between their legs - the knee bones laying on top of each other (side sleeper here) is weird and jarring."
– snic2030
"I lost only 40 pounds within the last year or so. I’m struggling to relate to most of these comments as I feel like I just 'slimmed down' rather than dropped a ton. But wow, the pillow between the knees at night. YES! I can relate to this. I think a lot of my weight was in my thighs. I never needed to do this up until recently."
– Strongbad23
More Mobility
"I’ve lost 100 lbs since 2020. It’s a collection of little things that surprise me. For at least 10 years I couldn’t put on socks, or tie my shoes. I couldn’t bend over and pick something up. I couldn’t climb a ladder to fix something. Simple things like that I can do now that fascinate me."
"Edit: Some additional little things are sitting in a chair with arms, sitting in a booth in a restaurant, being able to shop in a normal store AND not needing to buy the biggest size there, being able to easily wipe my butt, and looking down and being able to see my penis."
– dma1965
People making significant changes, whether for mental or physical health, can surely find a newfound perspective on life.
But they can also discover different issues they never saw coming.
That being said, overcoming any challenge in life is laudable, especially if it leads to gaining confidence and ditching insecurities.
