Alright.

Just a note: if being a First-Episode Twist is irrelevant to the example, remove the wick. These end up as misleading sinkholes.

Okay, I'm currently at 666 wicks as of typing. So far, the wicks can be described as:

Requesting help since I fear I'll run into a lot of cases where I can't tell what the proper course of action is.

Hey, can First-Episode Twist refer to the first act of a movie?

I've been wanting to get to this thread after I'm done with the Literary Agent Hypothesis thread, but I currently have a cold, so I can't do much when it comes to TRS cleanup.

Alright, down to 489 by tackling the Anime/ section (or what was left of it? Idk) and some of the smaller ones until hitting Literature/. 487 if you count the to-be-cut ghost wick.

Is this an example?

Blade Runner: Blade Runners and LAPD:

  • First-Episode Spoiler:Well, first five minutes spoiler. He is established to be a Replicant early on, a fact which was left out of marketing.

Definitely an example. The marketing very conspicuously avoided mentioning that fact, even though the movie itself revealed it in literally the first five minutes. It was a clever meta-twist that mostly worked because of assumptions and marketing; the twist wasn't quite the twist itself, it was that it was the core of the movie. People were expecting a major reveal at the end.

The question is whether it needs spoiler tags. Because, again, it's a meta-twist that treats months of advertising as part of the story.

I moved it to the new name. I removed the spoiler tags because I don't think something revealed in the beginning of the work itself should be spoiled even its a twist / not expected.

Whether certain examples are "spoilers" is too debatable, especially when compared to "twist".
