I haven't seen Civil War and I have no idea why this lego box spoils the movie.

I was thinking of having this, it would need to be lightened and resized a bit

Eh still doesn't make sense, the caption explains it but you gotta get a magnifying glass to find Waldo err Deadpool.

It says Deadpool on the box.

The original is a spoiler because Gi-AntMan was supposed to be a surprise but he is right there on the box. However that isn't an obvious spoiler if you don't know the characters or movie.

The Dead Pool one is funny, but it is a parody. The alleged scene isn't in the movie.

The issue is that it needs an It Was His Sled level spoiler which also has merchandise for it.

Does The Force Awakens have enough Pop Culture Osmosis to allow for Rey with a lightsaber to count as an obvious spoiler?

This signature says something else when you aren't looking at it.

I think a juxaposition of this and [this would work.

How about this famous example, where the soundtrack of The Phantom Menace (released before the movie came out) spoiled a character's death at the end of the movie?

Or this Batman toy? Even if you haven't seen Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, it's pretty obvious that the toy spoils the true identity of a masked character.

Either of the last two are good with me.

9 looks good.

We could go for 9, I was thinking a caption would be "the identity of the phantasm was supposed to remain a mystery..."

I'll give a [tup] for 9. As a tweak on [up], "So much for the Phantasm's Secret Identity."

I'll go with 9+17.

9+17 Yes. Good. And I say that as someone who hasn't any interest at all in the Batman franchise,
