Thanks for your question (and sorry I'm so late in answering it!).

Since the application cycle only ends a couple days before the month mark, it's fine to app! The spirit of the rule is to give people who want to watch the movie spoiler-free enough time to watch it before interacting with characters in the game, and I think allowing them in this cycle would adhere to the spirit of the rule. Just mark your application for spoilers in the subject line and everything will be fine!

(For reference, I personally don't care about spoilers at all for any canon, so reading them doesn't bother me.)
