Discussion expands to broader pattern of spoiler titles across platforms

Commenters cite parallel examples: Netflix episode descriptions for original Star Trek that spoil plot mysteries, YouTube horror game playthrough titles that reveal twists, and Paramount+'s own YouTube channel adopting the same approach. One commenter notes that even the framing of General Grievous's backstory in Star Wars III follows this pattern.
“the episode descriptions were constantly doing this. The first half of Amok Time is all about the mystery of why Spock is acting strange, but the description was like 'Spock must return home for the Vulcan mating season.'”

"Count Dooku taught me how to wind up my torso like a Beyblade and spin all four of my arms in different directions"

An early stage of this evolution was when, in Star Wars III, we first see coughing robot General Grievous engage in personal combat. He says "I was trained to use a lightsaber... by Count Dooku!" as if the last part was the twist. Dawg just say "Count Dooku trained me... to use a lightsaber!"

Man finds out the leader of the evil imperial army is really his dad

it's funny though how they found a frame where the guy is making a "uber driver sucked me off" face

And Paramount+’s own YT channel. Where they assume TZ watchers have all watched the series in reruns for the last twenty years and come to celebrate pop culture “content”. (Over on YT Reactors, kids are seeing the entire episodes for the first time, and still floored by the Obsolete Man.)

Like, yeah the movie to this point already established that you and Captain Dooky are on the same side. The fact that you can spin four laser swords around at the same time is the new part. You gotta ESCALATE that tension! And this was the best of its trilogy!
