11 Times Movie Studios Stupidly Spoiled Their Own Secrets

11. Terminator 2, Terminator Salvation & Terminator Genisys All Gave Their Twists Away In The Trailer

The Secret(s): In Terminator 2, the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger's new Terminator character is a good guy, in Terminator Salvation that Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) is part-man, part-machine, and in Terminator Genisys that resistance leader John Connor (Jason Clarke) is now a bad guy. How It Was Spoiled: It's become something of a running joke that the Terminator movies don't give a damn about ruining epic plot twists, considering that three of the five movies have given away their biggest secrets for free in the trailer. T2's trailer begins by painting Arnie as a villain once again, before flat-out revealing that he's a good guy, Salvation's spoils pretty much the only truly interesting plot point in the entire movie, and though Genisys isn't out yet, who wouldn't have preferred to go in not knowing about Evil John Connor? Though it did little to hamper most people's enjoyment of T2, it might've made Salvation a little more interesting upon first viewing, and Terminator fanboys are already busy decrying Genisys' marketing team for ruining what could've been a mighty twist, which they did presumably out of desperation to sell the movie.
