Bottom line though is it's a trailer approved by and released officially by the studio they must not think it's got spoilers.
After watching it frame by frame several times through I have to agree. To me, folks that are seeing nothing but spoilers are seeing stuff in that trailer with eyes that have seen the movie. If you view it without knowing what happened in the movie, it's taken quite differently (I asked a coworker who hadn't seen the movie).
Besides, it's 15 seconds long, and a 3 hour movie. Most of the 15 seconds have words/reviews flashing over the scenes. It can't reveal a wild amount spoilers when the only new things to reveal are the hammer and I guess transformed Hulk. I can't imagine either of those things ruined the entire movie for anyone. If they even spoiled something
I've yet to see overweight Thor in it. He's fully armored. This one is a good example of how anyone who's seen the movie sees something different than someone who hasn't. Those who have seen it know he's overweight and know he is it in that shot but those who haven't, can't see anything but Thor in is armor. It's on him for 2 whole seconds. Hardly long enough to determine he's got a beer gut. Long hair, sure. Not a spoiler to see him with long hair.
What spoiler does Pepper being in there reveal? Or Thanos with an army? That there's a battle? What kind of reveal is that? Who doesn't know there will be a battle? In the case of Thanos you don't even know from that clip it's his battle with the Avengers, just a battle.
It doesn't show who wins.
It doesn't show who lives.
It doesn't show how they got there.
My $0.02 worth,
I don't know how to devise exactly what counts as spoilers. But I am very very anti spoiler. So many trailers have so many details it feels like you know the entire movie plot before I show up. So for Endgame I avoided the trailers after watching the first one. So glad I did.
Take for instance Fat Thor, its great how its played in the movie, and I think even knowing that he gets fat isn't traditionally thought of as a spoiler, my enjoyment was maximized because I didn't know it was coming. If someone even said "Thor gets fat," it would have annoyed me. In fact, to me, knowing about Fat Thor is a bigger spoiler than saying "Thanos loses." Because there was no way Thanos wasn't going to lose.
All that said, if the marketing company is going to put out a trailer, its hard to say its not socially acceptable to discuss it.
