History Main / SpoilerTitle

* ''Literature/GhastlyMacaroni'': "YOU WERE THE FROGS" ends with the revelation that the protagonist was the frogs all along. Lampshaded, with the first line of the story being "WARNING SPOILER TITLE".

* Many ''Website/GoAnimate'' videos describe the main event that will happen in the video in their title.

* {{Invoked|Trope}} by ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-QQpL1YjeU The Name of This Cartoon Would Ruin It]]", aka "[[spoiler:Front-Facing Homestar]]". That title is only displayed at the end of the cartoon.

* ''Webcomic/DerekAndNicole'': The chapter "Cerise and Daisy" wasn't named in the tags or captions until was finished, to avoid spoiling the identity of Cerise's mystery lover.

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' episode "First Name Ashley" has Randall finding out Spinelli's EmbarrassingFirstName and attempting to blackmail her. Guess what it is.

* In ''Series/{{Castle}}'', "Hell Hath No Fury": the "woman scorned" is obviously the dead man's wife, and the ending comes as no surprise.

* Similarly, there's an issue of the (Will Payton) ''ComicBook/{{Starman}}'' comic where the title was placed at the end: "Your Mother Should Know".

* Fanfic/NjalGetsBurned. Granted, the original is often titled [[NjalsSaga "The Saga of Burned Njal."]]

-->'''[[http://www.agonybooth.com/eddie-and-the-cruisers-ii-eddie-lives-1989-part-3-3376 Agony Booth]]:''' Is it even ''possible'' in movies for [[NeverFoundTheBody someone whose body was never found]] to ''actually be dead?''

* Played with on the ''[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]'' showing of ''Film/ItConqueredTheWorld'' -- Tom Servo riffs over the title "Hey, they're giving away the ending!" But it didn't conquer the world. Also PlayedWith in another ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' movie, ''Film/TheThingThatCouldntDie''. It dies.

* The title of the ''Literature/EncyclopediaBrown'' mystery "The Case of the Happy Nephew" gives away the fact that the suspect's young nephew (who's otherwise a very minor character in the story) is a vital clue, as is the fact that he's ''happy''. Encylopedia figures out that the suspect's alibi is a lie when he notices the nephew happily smiling while walking barefoot on the hood of his car, [[SpotTheThread proving that he wasn't on a long car trip when the crime took place (if he were, the hood of his car would still be hot, and his nephew would have burned his feet)]].

* The soundtrack for ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' contains the dual pieces of "Farewell to X" and "The Funeral", hinting at [[Characters/MarvelComicsProfessorX Professor Xavier]]'s [[DeathIsCheap Comic Book Death]].
* Two tracks on the ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' soundtrack album have one: "A Bunny Can Go Savage", which gives away a plot point, and "Ewe Fell for It", whose PunnyTitle reveals the identity of the BigBad: Assistant Mayor Dawn Bellwether, a sheep.

* The first ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance game has a story where Spider-Man investigates weird occurrences and thefts, in an attempt to determine who could be behind it all. In the story as presented (always from Spider-Man's point-of-view), he does not find the culprit's identity until the start of the final stage. The full title of the game: ''Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace''.

* Happened with the French translation of ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan''. Who is manipulating the events to create a gang war between Tombstone, Silvermane, and Dr. Octopus? Find out in "The Return of the Green Goblin"!

** {{Defied}} with "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E20Bismuth Bismuth]]", which has a title held off until Steven encounters the title character herself.

* [[Fanfic/NjalGetsBurned.]] Granted, the original is often titled [[NjalsSaga "The Saga of Burned Njal."]]

* NjalsSaga is frequently titled "The Saga of Burned Njal."

* The episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' where the Earth Queen is asphyxiated to death by Zaheer is called “Long Live the Queen”. For a bit of context, the title is the latter half of the historical proclamation, "The queen is dead, long live the queen!", typically used following the death of a monarch.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies2018 Muppet Babies]]'': The episode "Animal and the Little Accident" deals with Animal not wanting to go to the bathroom during his trip to Ratlantis. The title confirms the fact that [[PottyFailure he doesn't make it in time]].

** The original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' has some of these, with "Garma's Fate" being a particularly bad one, along with Big Zam's Last Stand. These become hilarious when the narrator asks "[[OnTheNextEpisodeOfCatchphrase Who will survive?]]" after revealing the title.

* ''Franchise/XenobladeChronicles:''
** In ''VideoGame/TornaTheGoldenCountry,'' one sidequest involves searching for a missing soldier. Why are they missing? The sidequest is called "Duplicity."

** The manga's title, "Shimeji Simulation", spoils the TomatoSurprise twist and TheReveal that everything about this world is a reality simulation.
** Chapter 10 is titled Dream. In that chapter Shijima travels through the Dream World by herself.
** Chapter 30 is titled "Change". It doesn't hide the fact that it blatantly spoils the manga's first WhamEpisode where reality gets ''permanently changed'' by Sis almost at the end of the chapter.

** Chapter 30 is titled Change. It doesn't hide the fact that it blatantly spoils the manga's first WhamEpisode where reality gets ''permanently changed'' by Sis almost at the end of the chapter.
** Chapter 45 is titled Reverse. That spoils the plot point where Shijima has to reverse the damage of the simulation which happens at the end.
** Chapter 46 is titled Genesis. Not only it blatantly spoils Majime's ascendance to godhood, but it also spoils the revelation that she becomes TheMaker of her new world.
** Chapter 47 is titled Empty. If the chapter's SpoilerCover is not an indication of what the chapter is all about, the chapter shows the exact fate of Shijima's fate as TheAloner.

* The title of ''Manga/ShimejiSimulation'' did not become a major deal from most of its chapters. In Chapters 30 and 44, however, the title spoils the reveal of the world's true nature: the whole world is revealed to be a simulated reality. Hence the title name ''Shimeji '''Simulation'''''.

* ''Film/TronLegacy'''s soundtrack (by Music/DaftPunk) spoils the movie with the song "Flynn Lives". Double Subversion in that case: on the one hand, it's a reference to the "Flynn Lives" AlternateRealityGame, but on the other, one Flynn "lives," the other is [[NeverFoundTheBody presumed dead]]...

* Here are the Japanese titles for a pair of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' episodes that aired in May 2010. If the second title was revealed in the first's OnTheNext, it wouldn't be this trope. However, they were revealed [[http://www.serebii.net/archive/April-2010.shtml at the same time, so...:

** A certain very famous ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' issue had a totally spoilerish title. Well, the writers figured that out, so they [[CloseOnTitle stuck the title at the end of the issue instead]]. The title was, of course, "ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied".

* The first ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance game has a story where Spider-Man investigates weird occurrences and thefts, in an attempt to determine who could be behind it all. In the story as presented (always from Spider-Man's point-of-view), he does not find the culprit's identity until the start of the final stage. The full title of the game: ''Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace''.
