Reflection During this work, the major challenge that I faced on this project was hard to find the consolidated group of spoilers. Defining this group blurred in the definition for a long time, and people would use "spoilers" to describe a wide range of people. So I decided to focus on the specific category under this group of people, revealing the online community's details, including what aspects I should view and how the members integrated. And while I penetrated this group, I was surprised to find out that their aim and purpose were pure and the group communication is efficient and friendly indeed. Interestingly, not every category of spoiler group shares the same characteristics, and each has its unique way of sharing opinions.   Marvel Studio Spoilers Group (Reddit)    FA-2 Draft Introduction Marvel Studio Spoilers is a community group on Reddit that focuses on alerting its members on new movies and what to expect (spoilers). Here's the link to the online community . The Reddit platform also includes a link to another site of the same community on Discord, but my focus will remain on the Reddit platform. Typically, spoilers are pieces of information that reflect a plot in a movie that ruins the excitement to watch or read. Marvel Spoiler group has more than 2000 members, and it gives details of new Marvel productions and their respective spoilers. Such spoiler groups are tailored towards the needs of fans of the Marvel Universe, who enjoy discussing and speculating about upcoming projects. The community is also great for movie lovers who want spoilers. Cresci states that some people enjoy spoilers as it helps them understand the plot (Cresci). A study carried out by Professor Christenfeld gave individuals twelve short stories, two of which had the ending explained. The interviewers said they preferred the stories they already knew the end (Cresci). Spoilers give people an advantage in understanding the plot (Cresci). If you want to join this community group, you can access it from the Reddit platform, sign up with your email to become a member. It does not take long before the admins verify you. It will take less than five minutes to join, and then verification goes through immediately. The community aims to provide a platform where movie enthusiasts can meet and discuss new films. They do not have a specific genre of movies, giving every member the freedom to discuss their films. However, the site does not allow the posting of any pornographic content. The community shares its content through original posts where members can comment and discuss the latest news on Marvel Movies. Other posts are links to other social media platforms such as Twitter and websites with information on upcoming Marvel projects or the already released movies. The majority of the posts are links to stories and websites that detail new Marvel or Disney projects.   Summary I have observed several things in this group; for example, members are pretty courteous, and they follow the rules set by the group admin. Rules and regulations are pinned on the group page's upper side; any new member joining the group should see it. In this case, it is easier to learn the culture and way of life in this particular group. The Marvel Spoiler community has laid some strict rules, especially regarding culture, race, and sexuality. For instance, everyone should respect the other one despite their sexuality. In this case, no abuse to the LGBT+ community, some movies have transexual actors; therefore, no member is supposed to speak ill about them. Additionally, no one should be discriminated against by skin color or ethnicity, and it applies to movies and lives chats. Another important observation is that the group is open 24/7; hence you can post or read comments any time of the day. The other rules of the community are:

• The rules prohibit any self-advertisements. No member of the community is allowed to post content that advertises themselves or their products.
• The community is rigorous in streamlining its content, so it prohibits posts or links that are not related to production leaks, spoilers of Marvel productions.
• Members of the community also should abide by their apolitical rule, barring political discussions within the community.
• Piracy is also prohibited. Any posts to torrents, illegal films, or any content that infringes on copyrights violate the community's rules ("Marvel Studios Spoilers"). 

Most importantly, if you violate the rules, you will be banned from the group, especially after the second warning.   Discussion In this paragraph, I intend to answer the following key questions:

1. What kind of members does the community allow to join? Is the community appropriate for all ages, or is there a restriction?
2. What is the culture of the community? Do members feel comfortable discussing freely and share opinions?
3. What is the aim of the community? What do they hope to achieve?
4. What values does the community uphold?

The Marvel Studio Spoilers is a phenomenal group that observes its culture, and it gives everyone equal opportunities to express themselves. As discussed earlier, everyone is bound by the group's rules, and no one is supposed to abuse or threaten the other person. These are rules that reflect the family culture, which i...
