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. |

10 | * '''Inverted''': |
11 | ** The trailer spoils the beginning. |
12 | ** [[NeverTrustATrailer The trailer "spoils"]] [[MissingTrailerScene plot points that aren't actually in the movie.]] |

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''': ??? |
