It's official. Marvel crossed the line with Spider-man spoilers: they revealed the Stan Lee cameo in a promotional video. *facepalm*

Re: Marvel Movies *SPOILERS* Thread
That's an understatement. I'm seriously thinking that it's not Marvel Studios proper that's handling the marketing. #1: I found the website of the company that has done a lot of promotional work for Marvel (including Civil War, Doctor Strange, and Inhumans) and Disney (including Moana and Coco), but I don't see anything Spider-man on there. #2: I seem to remember a YouTuber saying something about how Sony gave spoilers in all the trailers for the previous Spider-man films. I want to go to either the marketing team or the promotional company (or both) to smack someone upside the head for releasing this much information in their trailers and teasers.

I'm assuming they've got a legit advertising company, unless Sony does it in-house or something. But whoever is in charge of giving footage to the promotional editors is giving way too much (this I know with absolute certainty) and whoever is editing these videos is either instructed to share all that information, has little else but spoilers to work with, and/or is incompetent in the area of /not/ handing out spoilers.

I have no particular proof for this (haven't come across the sort of details I'm looking for on the subject), but I'm thinking that these flub-ups are due to the cross-company partnership. In other words, I don't think Marvel Studios proper would be showing this much if it was just Marvel Studios doing it.
I did just come across something that sounded like the Stan Lee cameo was just for the NBA promo? That's the way it sounds on wikipedia, but I don't know. I can say that even the character teasers contain spoilers though, so avoid if you don't want spoilers.

Re: Marvel Movies *SPOILERS* Thread
Ah yes. That would make sense. In all honesty I think that Marvel Studios does things a LOT better than any other Marvel-partnered company out there.
I will take your advice. I am not particular about spoilers, but I am not nearly as into Marvel as I used to be. XD So all the better that I don't get all the details before I actually see the movies.

Re: Marvel Movies *SPOILERS* Thread
That's true, in Amazing Spider-man 2, though, the basic plot was already leaked while they were filming because Gwen Stacy was basically wearing the same outfit at the end of the movie as she did in the comic from the 1960s and bystanders photographed her while she was on set.Ariel.of.Narnia wrote: I seem to remember a YouTuber saying something about how Sony gave spoilers in all the trailers for the previous Spider-man films.
Anyone who's read Spider-man comics would automatically be spoilered by this because Spider-man often remembers what happens and they always show Gwen in the exact same outfit.
But I also remember hearing that Sony had been hacked and all of its upcoming movies leaked at that point, so maybe they thought that leaking spoilers wouldn't matter in their trailers (but it does matter to people who are trying to avoid spoilers).
But, the Spider-man franchise in and of itself is generally predictable, because they do cater to the fans of the comics. So anyone who has read the comics will be able to tell which story arc the newest movie is catering to, from the trailers. For example, the latest movie seems to be catering to the Ultimate Marvel 1610 universe of comics that the Marvel comics company officially closed the chapter on a year or two ago - that is, they closed it after transferring Miles Morales and some other heroes over to their regular comics universe.
It's very fun trying to find the Stan Lee cameo in each Marvel movie, I think it is something most people look forward to, so spoiling it ruins the "Where's Waldo" effect of keeping your eyes peeled for Stan Lee.
