Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Question: a friend who has also not yet seen Winter Soldier tells me that I shouldn't watch this week's Agents of Shield until I do because something will be spoiled. Is this true?
Yes. You should see the movie first.
I would posit that one should also avoid reading the Jossverse thread, for said movie spoilerage is thence spoilerated, at least in part.
Yeah, your friend is looking out for you. ETA: as is billytea.
Oh, I don't got into the Jossverse thread until I've seen the episode.
So, I will wait.
We were out last night, and, as we are DVR-less, can't watch SHIELD until tonight. (Technically I could watch it right now, since I've already downloaded it from iTunes, but I'm going to be nice and wait for Tim.) So the numbers in the Jossverse thread going up and up are KILLING ME.
Honestly, I watched SHIELD without having seen Winter Soldier and it was fine. But I was already spoiled, so.
The issue isn't that watching SHIELD without seeing Winter Soldier will detract from the episode, but rather watching the episode first will spoil plot elements of the film.
