To me spoilers are revealing anything in the movie that wouldn't be close to general knowledge before going in. Minor spoilers are all over reviews because of that, but I would say that telling somebody Oz goes from Black and White to Color would be a major spoiler because it reveals a pivotal stylistic choice in the movie that is meant to be kept hidden. However it would not be a spoiler to say a movie is well-shot, or has long drawn out shots, because those are equivalent to saying "There is funny dialogue in the movie," or "Jonah Hill gives a good performance that will make you uncomfortable." However it is a spoiler if you say what is going on in that specific shot.

We're Losing Our Strong Female Characters to Trinity Syndrome...
The Panda replied to Dementeleus's topic in The Speakeasy
I think to judge if a female character is a good female character is to judge if she is a good character, the same way you would judge if a male character is a good character. All of those extra rules just add complications and buts and what ifs. Just ask, is this character a developed and layered character? Yes or no. If it's a yes then you have a strong female character. A character can be a strong character without kicking ass, without rescuing/not being rescued, etc. A strong character means they are well-thought and created. For example, your typical 80s damsels in distress weren't good characters, therefore they weren't strong female characters. People are looking into this to much, it's really simple to figure out if a female character is a strong character or not, and the key is to take the female/male part out and just look at the character as a character in general. -
