Apparently the forum’s markdown implementation does not support spoilers (and I can’t find it in the WYSIWIYG editor either).
I’m sympathetic to spoiler concerns in general, but where the medium doesn’t allow hiding them, the context has focused on analysis rather than appreciation, and major related points have been spoiled upthread, I think the benefits of leaving it here outweigh the downsides.
I’ve added a warning at the top, and put in spoiler markdown in case the forum upgrades its parsing.
Here’s the editor guide section for spoilers. (Note that I tested the instructions for markdown, and that does indeed seem broken in a weird way; the WYSIWYG spoilers still work normally but only support “block” spoilers; you can’t do it for partial bits of lines.)
In this case I think a warning at the top of the comment is sufficient, given the context of the rest of the thread, so up to whether you want to try to reformat your comment around our technical limitations.
Please remove the spoilers or use spoiler text?

It should support spoilers
