1	'''Basic Trope''': The trailer for a work spoils the major plot twists.
2	* '''Straight''': The trailer for the movie ''Tropetown'' shows [[TheHero Alice]] and [[TheLancer Bob's]] wedding, the death of [[SacrificialLion Charles,]] and the FiveManBand's defeat of Emperor Evulz.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': The trailer consists of the final five minutes of the movie, revealing every major twist from the film.
4	* '''Downplayed''':
5	** The trailer only reveals the ending of the B Plot, showing [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Darlene]] and [[TheSmartGuy Ethan's]] [[BabiesEverAfter baby.]]
6	** The trailer only reveals ''part'' of the big twist, usually by omitting a key detail that [[TheEndingChangesEverything puts everything into a new context]].
7	* '''Justified''':
8	** The ending is the only exciting part of the movie.
9	** It's a ForegoneConclusion - a film of ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' shows the lovers killing themselves in the trailer, with the assumption anyone going to see ''Romeo and Juliet'' already knows the ending.
10	* '''Inverted''':
11	** The trailer spoils the beginning.
12	** [[NeverTrustATrailer The trailer "spoils"]] [[MissingTrailerScene plot points that aren't actually in the movie.]]
13	* '''Subverted''': The trailer shows what initially looks like Charles dying, but it's actually [[TheBigGuy Frankie]] instead.
14	* '''Double Subverted''': Frankie has a DisneyDeath, but Charles actually dies in a scene not shown in the trailer.
15	* '''Parodied''':
16	** Alice and Bob have MediumAwareness, thus knowing the spoilers in the trailers. They begin to try to derail the story into weird nonsense.
17	** Just before Charles dies, he says "[[LastWords It's okay. Everyone knew I was going to die.]] [[MediumAwareness It was in the trailer.]]"
18	* '''Zig-Zagged''': Some scenes in the trailer spoil the ending, but others don't.
19	* '''Averted''': The trailer shows enough to get the audience interested, but not spoiling.
20	* '''Enforced''': The creators know that the ending is the only good part of the movie, and to get people to see it they put spoiling scenes, with no regard to spoiling.
21	* '''Lampshaded''': ???
22	* '''Invoked''': Evulz intentionally kills Charles in the way it is shown in the trailer, with Evulz quipping "I saw this in a movie trailer once."
23	* '''Exploited''': ???
24	* '''Defied''': The characters in the movie are aware of the trailer and intentionally try to make sure that the events of the trailer don't happen in the film.
25	* '''Discussed''': ???
26	* '''Conversed''': "Man, that trailer made me feel like I just watched the whole movie."
