Serious?

I'll give you these two...maybe.

Look, those were plot points in CA, but not major spoilers. You knew all of this by watching the previews.


ETA: This thread has be sidetracked and I apologize.


For the OP..It is my opinion that you do not need to watch Arrow before the Flash. Others may disagree. However, you should watch Arrow and The Flash....IMO.

Not in the Winter Soldier. It wasn't revealed that Hydra was behind everything in the new movie until Captain America and Black Widow discovered that huge computer system in that bunker.

Yes, I'm serious. Director Fury was supposedly killed in the first 30 minutes of Winter Soldier. For those who hadn't seen the movie yet, and were watching Agents of SHIELD the week after Winter Soldier's release, the news of Nick Fury's "death" would be classified as a spoiler from the movie.

All I know is that after watching AoS I knew from the start of CA:WS that the movie was going to be about Hydra infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D, and destroying it from the inside (that was a huge spoiler). Now granted, I waited a couple of weeks from the premiere before I got around to watching CA:WS (so I had 2 weeks of post-CA:WS AoS that spoiled a heck of a lot for me), but that doesn't nullify the fact that AoS spoiled a lot of the plot points of CA:WS.

If you didn't see The Winter Soldier before you saw episode 17 of Agents of SHIELD, those are MASSIVE spoilers.

Episode 16 was released before Winter Soldier. Episode 17 was released 4 days AFTER Winter Soldier.

The takeover of Hydra and the subsequent dissolution of SHIELD are not mentioned at all in the previews.
