I think, for me, it's self-protective. I have PTSD and, while Marvel is obviously not going to hit any of my big triggers, it's still habit to prepare myself because I do have small things that can sometimes upset me if I see them without notice. They're not triggers, precisely, but more... sensitivities? Add in the fact that I'm more into the journey than the destination and I have no reason to not spoil myself.
