Thor entering Wakanda and the live crowd reactions never gets old

[Carthago Delenda Est]

Holy false equivalency, Batman.

Cheering in a theater isn't rude unless you are loud the entire movie. Being excited at an exciting moment is fine. Do you also not laugh out loud at jokes? If you do, YOU ASSHOLE!

Click to shrink...

It's not a false equivalency. Not remotely. I am showing you that the things some people find fun can be unpleasant to others.

Cheering in a theater is always rude even if you only do it for a second. Being excited at an exciting moment is fine. You don't need to hoot and holler because you're excited. Laughter is much harder to hide and I think we all expect people to laugh at funny parts in movies. Everyone who's not 15 should be well aware that screaming during a movie because you think it's cool is not acceptable.

 

[Kevers]

Gotta stay quiet during those loud headache inducing scenes or else.

 

[LegendofJoe]

You gotta just go with the flow. You've entered a public space and can't expect the same rules for everyone. I find where I live that Thursday showings will almost always get a loud crowd for big releases, but anytime after that is pretty quiet.

But I love hearing people enjoy a movie. It makes me so happy. I got a bit emotional watching that video. Having a huge crowd of strangers get excited about a big moment is the reason we like sports so much and why the theatre experience should never die.

The live sports analogy is perfect. I don't understand why some people can't understand the fun and joy that comes with a shared and exciting experience.

 

[Sparks]

Goddam, the attitude of some people. It's a big Marvel movie at opening night, what do you want? Be a normal person and just watch this at home if it bothers you that much.

It's not like this is a screening of The Favourite and people are cheering and yelling throughout it.

It's such an embarrassing attitude to have, "Don't clap in my movies!!"

I need to hear the nuances of the thunder sounds.

 

[Prolepro]

I didnt get that excited watching this movie but for basically the entire last 2 hours of Devil May Cry 5 I sounded like everyone in that first video.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

How dare we want to hear the movie we're paying for, instead of being pulled out of our the experience so you can whoop and clap for nobody present, because you can't control yourself in a public setting. Do you do the same thing in an art gallery when a work moves you?

Click to shrink...

That Avengers theme was for sure too quiet to hear during that scene. For sure.

 

[Scullibundo]

Pretty sure an art gallery tends to not create hype and excitement like a blockbuster movie does.

Click to shrink...

Being hyped and excited gives you free reign to act like a toddler who can't control themselves? Again, you're negatively affecting others who do not feel the same way you do. Other people have paid to see and hear the movie, not your fucking hyena screeches as your emotionally climax to a Marvel film going where it telegraphed it was going to go about an hour earlier.

 

[More_Badass]

How is Thor going to know we appreciate his effort if we're not screaming? If you're over 16 then you shouldn't be verbally reacting to fucking movies unless it's laughter.

Click to shrink...

Remember, don't scream or gasp during horror movies either.

 

[Carthago Delenda Est]

If you don't want to be around people when watching a movie, you can always wait for the BluRay or y'know go see it a few weeks later. It's really not that big of a deal. You go to a fan filled showing, that's what your going to get, fans!

Click to shrink...

Except my watching of the film quietly does not actually make their experience worse (arguably it only makes theirs not quite as good). Their hollering makes my experience worse. That balances out in my favor, so I expect them to extend proper courtesy. I'd do the same for them. We don't get a choice in whether we go to a fan showing or not, so keep that shit out.

 

[Christian]

I watched it on Blu ray alone and didn't even think twice about it.

It might be crazy if you hadn't been watching the first 90 minutes. It's not like it comes out of nowhere. What were people expecting?

Click to shrink...

I think a lot of people that aren't familiar with the comics, or with the fact that Thanos wins, really thought Thor showing up would turn the tide. Made the Snap at the end even more powerful, after that shot of hope. My theater had a really nice reaction to the Asgardians of the Galaxy showing up, and was devastated by the Snap, therefore I am going to accept this personal experience as a suitable explanation for the entire phenomenon.l.

 

[Deleted member 19003]

Haha, my theater cheered too. It was an awesome moment.

For real. It's why I see the midnight premiere of every new Star Wars movie - it's a whole different experience, and much more enjoyable. Pure enthusiasm and giddiness, untainted by the incoming years of internet argument over what you saw.

That scene is pretty hype I can't lie

Given the character arc of Thor in the movie, it was expertly pulled off. Bravo!

Have some self control and wait to see it alone or when it's less busy.

You absolutely do get that choice. Try not seeing a movie literally at 7 pm when it comes out and I guarantee you that it wont be this loud.

Pretty sure the scale of people who get excited during a movie to people who don't is quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite a bit more equal than people who enjoy peeing in food.
What PornHub channels are you on.

That being said, I don't like loud people in movies either, but there are certain scenes that warrant a cheer. Exactly the same as how jokes warrant a laugh. As long as you aren't cheering or laughing continuously for 3 hours it's fine.

I'm pretty sure if you're at opening night screenings for a Star Wars or Marvel movie, the person not reacting with the crowd is the odd one there.

The crowd reactions aren't a negative effect in the right context. Same with my theater trying to stay quiet during A Quiet Place

Man, some of the reactions here, you'd think people have never emotionally resonated with a film before.

If you want to equate seeing Avengers: Infinity War in a theater with going to an art gallery, no wonder you defend Avatar like it's high cinema.

 

[kittens]

I.... can't relate to this at all. It was just a standard "very powerful ally comes in to save the day at the last second" scene. It was cool but I don't get the hype I guess.

The cuts to reaction shots from heroes at their lowest point, the music ratcheting up and blasting the Avengers theme for the first time in the movie.

The reaction isn't one of surpise, it's the natural conclusion of the build up created by the Russo's.

Saying "I say it coming so I didn't feel anything" is like something a robot would say lol

[henhowc]

Yeah it was hype even when watching it by my lonesome in my man cave.

Fucking snap happening shortly after though :[

 

[Deleted member 13798]

Cap and Thor got insane reactions when they appeared. I normally don't like that stuff in theaters but honestly that was one of the times when it was something that actually enhance the experience for me.

 

[MasterYoshi]

That scene left me hoping Thor gets the W in Endgame. Of all the characters involved, he deserves it the most.


I would argue that losing Thor would be more heartbreaking than Tony or Steve at this point.

I mean, if the whole theater is doing it it clearly is acceeptable, the video in OP shows it, the thousands of similar videos on YT shows it, the experiences of most people posting here shows it. You can try to pee on someones food if you like, and then extrapolate from there if that is as acceptable as people getting excited in the theater.

Watch the movie later or at home, old man. The rest of us will be hollering opening night.

 

[Deleted member 10234]

I went to see it at noon on the opening Friday. There were like 15 people in the theatre so you can probably guess it wasn't quite like this.

Sculli was IN Wakanada until the person behind him gasped audibly and let out a whoop at which point the spell of cinema was broken.

Good lord at the number of "keep it down" posts. I didn't realize my dad was on Era. And had like 12 accounts.

 

[SweetNicole]

The amount of people upset by people getting excited about a movie is baffling. Just don't go the theater and wait for it come out at home if you don't want to deal with people expressing themselves.

 

[Kevers]

The people detracting from people getting hyped during those scenes are also doing a disservice to the people who made the film and put those scenes in specifically for those types of reactions.

Seeing The Last Jedi was awesome, all the jokes killed and all the hype moments got great reactions. There were a lot of 'wows' and 'holy shits' during the Holdo maneuver. If I could I would re-watch The Last Jedi over and over with that crowd.

 

[Laserdisk]

I'm so glad I live in the UK

 

[Marshall]

Old ass American here. I remember applause and cheering when Luke first appeared in Return of the Jedi. The only other time I heard applause or hollaring since then was during IW.

 

[Deleted member 19003]

TIL the word "screwed" is edited out in many foreign versions of the film. Weird!

 

[Wamb0wneD]

This is some idiocracy shit lmao. WHOOOOO. OOOUHH! FUCK YEAH! MURICA!!!

If the sound of an audience reacting to what they're watching annoys you, I'm not sure why you would ever go to a movie theater. Watch things in silence at home.

The cheering is part of the experience though! Especially for opening night on a movie like this. It makes the whole thing more fun and memorable. Theaters crowds are so fucking obnoxious now -- phones on at max brightness, talking through the whole thing, etc. -- that the theater experience is more often than not pretty terrible, but the crowds at opening nights on a movie like Star Wars or Avengers make it worth it. Everyone's into it, everyone's on the journey with you. It's like the only time I still get the genuine communal, social experience at a movie theater.

 

[A real sad boy]

I also hate it when people aren't dead silent at concerts. How dare you scream and cheer and sing along, would you do that at a funeral? I don't think so. Do it alone in your car listening to Spotify.

It's not that you can't emotionally resonate with a film. Something involuntary like laughing or crying is different to clapping your hands together and whooping like a seal in heat.

Again, involuntary reactions are completely fine. So if you literally can't control your urge to clap and whoop, then you're okay. You're also probably 5 years old.

My theater got hyped at Peter getting his new suit, Cap and co arriving to save Wanda and Vision, the Wakanda theme starting before cutting to the city, Thor arriving on the battlefield. And then the theater was deathly silent during the snap. The contrast between the excitement with Thor and the tension during the snap was palpable

 

[LakeEarth]

Thor's entrance there is basically a pro-wrestling run in and it's amazing.

BAH GAWD KING, THAT'S THOR'S MUSIC

This is exactly why it's so good. Good call.

 

[Convasse]

IW was the hypest movie viewing I've ever been too. Took my 3 siblings to the saturday night showing following opening and the crowd was lit, we reacted to everything. We were somber when we needed to be, laughed when we needed to laughed, and whooped like small children when grandiosity occurred. I had so much fun. I can only hope my Endgame showing stacks up.

 

[vectorj]

This is 100% correct.

Generally speaking, cheers of this caliber (at a Marvel movie anyway) tend to occur in climaxes of a chaotic moment. I definitely don't personally yell out myself, but if the people around me cheer, especially in a moment such as the one heavily featured in OP's video, I'm kinda all for it.
