A lot of us were drawn into this discussion because what's being described is so far removed from what our typical cinema experience is that you'd probably get removed from the cinema (to the relief of the other 99% of the people in the room) for behaving like such a clueless prick.
Cheering really only happens during the opening weekend, if you buy a ticket for said weekend, you are willingly buying a ticket for something that there's a really good chance will have cheering. It's socially accepted to cheer in that setting, it's never socially accepted to talk during a movie or take out your phone unless you buy a ticket for special screenings where that is allowed.
Report people cheering for a few seconds in one of these movies and report back here with what happens.
Damn you, you made me laugh in real life LMAO.Was that a cinema filled with humans or howler monkeys?
Is this the norm in US cinemas? That would drive me insane.
Butthurt, in 2019. Nice.

At the very least someone would tell you to sit down and shut the fuck up, because here people typically pay to see the film, not clowns.
That said those of us outside the US are noticing this shit beginning creep out of that country and spread to the rest of the world, like childhood diabetes.
Lol thanks for proving my point, your post makes you sound like one of those socially broken people that I was describing.
Perhaps some therapy would help you overcome this issue.
EXACTLY. Thor saying "What more could I lose?" Was fucking heart breaking.One of the greatest things the MCU has done is take characters I was very familiar with - I knew and read Thor comics, Captain America comics, Black Panther comics - and just push them in such interesting and character-driven directions that, even though I had ALWAYS been familiar with them, now I truly CARED about them.
For all the aliens and robots and magic and powers and bombastic action... it's the personal stories that I'm invested in, and Thor's journey from juvenile braggart eager for glory to broken, humbled man who has lost his father, mother, brother, best friends, lover, and entire country has been brutally fascinating, and you can tell so much of his wit and humor is trying to just mask that pain. That's such good writing.
Generally people can be trusted to have a basic level of self control here if you avoid hours which are likely to be rammed with school kids or opening weekend, so it's cool. And like I said, people who are continually disruptive (there are just so many exciting moments in these comic book films!) will either get kicked out or told to STFU, whichever comes first.
I can imagine it now.It's funny that you don't realize you're the one being selfish here.

*Dude sits quietly in the cinema, watching the movie. Wrapped up in the story.*
*Einchy stalks down the cinema aisle, taps dude on the shoulder*
Excuse me. Could you cut that shit out, please? This isn't about you, you selfish asshole.
Explain to me how the poster you're responding to is being selfish, exactly? As opposed to the person deciding to yell and clap in a screening where others have paid their ticket price to watch the movie?
How is he the selfish one for just wanting to watch the goddamn movie?
I know. I know. His surly, robotic opinion is stifling your right to express yourself. To engage in the communal experience where you KNOW everybody there is there for the same thing. Because it's opening weekend. People couldn't have just bought tickets for opening weekend because they're excited for the film or don't want to be spoiled? If they were excited for the film, they would obviously be on their feet, clapping and whooping like a seal in heat. How can they not? It's as involuntary as sneezing or laughing. What kind of sick asshole thinks people can control that behaviour? Why do these robots continue to voice their discomfort with the behaviour? I know. They don't know how to experience joy. Or any emotion whatsoever. If they did, they couldn't possibly still be seated and quiet. Yes. Yes... they're obviously socially inept robots.
I just don't get clapping to a screen, at something with actual people in front of you, clap away, you're showing people you appreciate what they are doing, don't clap a fucking screen.
Nobody is saying complete silence. Jesus.
Voluntary noise is the problem. Gasps, laughter, screams at jump scares are involuntary and fine.
Oh you're the 1 guy that sits there, arms folded with a face liked a slapped arse whilst everyone around you has a fantastic time. And you call THEM sad?
It's a matter of respect. I guess in todays world you have to be a grinch to have respect for citizens around you.Wtf is this post. You and all the other grinches in this thread need to get over yourselves.
Awesome reference. 😂Oh you're the 1 guy that sits there, arms folded with a face liked a slapped arse whilst everyone around you has a fantastic time. And you call THEM sad?
You're one lucky individual.This was probably on opening night or something? I personally never heard a mass reaction like that in a theater, ever.
I mean, I just asked my coworkers and everyone said its unnaceptable to scream/cheer/clap during a movie, it can be understood AFTER a movie (even if its still dumb) so I'm guessing this is just a culturla difference (I'm from South America).
Bring your wife some flowers and tell her she's right. Bucky was screwed up and still is. Cap should not let that guy drag him down.EXACTLY. Thor saying "What more could I lose?" Was fucking heart breaking.
Marvel has realized these characters so wet wife and I fought about who was right, Cap or Tony when it came to civil war. I was team cap. She's still tram Tony. It's still a sore spot. Lol
You can definitely tell who here calls the police when their neighbors have any type of social gathering.
This.That sounds really annoying. Shut up while the movie is going on

Its an US specific thing. Nobody Germany does that. Everyone is quiet (laughter is allowed tho).There is a difference between a public social gathering in a backyard, or a bar, or a party or whatever and a gathering at a dark theater that specifically urges people to put away their phones and be quiet during the movie.
It literally is stated at the start of the movie to be quiet and put away your cellphones - both are equally unacceptable when seeing a movie in theaters - respect other peoples money because they all paid to see a movie in peace.
If the scene doesn't deliver when watching solo then it might be a shitty scene.That's really part of the movie-going experience. The scene does not pack the same punch when you watch it alone in your house. I remember a big one being in the first Avenger film when Hulk completely demolishes Loki and calls him a puny god. My theater went wild for that.

The people around you are all cheering. You sitting in stony silence makes them feel bad for being hyped with the rest of theater.It's a matter of respect. I guess in todays world you have to be a grinch to have respect for citizens around you.
I don't believe writers, directors, etc. go, "We need to add this scene to hype up the theatre." Build up and climax is what is being cheered and those aren't designed around theatre patrons.Sure, but there's context. These movies are absolutely made with this in mind. Things like Fast and Furious series are really bad outside of the context of a theater with the crowd eating up the fan service. Those movies are absolutely not made to watch at home by yourself. Avengers is a bit better in quality but it's really the same thing, it's totally a theater crowd movie.
It's like trying to listen to trance or whatever club music in your car on the way to work, it'll probably not pack the same punch as when you're listening to it at a club at irresponsible volumes and you're pretty wasted and going wild.
