Listen to these raucous miscreants, hooting and hollering like fucking animals.
Why is it disingenuous for marvel movies? Millions of people have been with these characters for over a decade, and have grown with them. You make it sound like it's someone crying at like bayformers or something. Some people just have some unreasonable hate for the mcu for no reason.Rewatching this movie yesterday, I was able to confirm that, yes this is a very cool moment and by far one of the best scenes of the entire movie. It brings a smile to my face to see this scene.
But watching it in a theater at midnight on release day, I couldn't help but be embarrassed by the hooting and hollering. I'm fine with thinking a thing is cool, but cheering at fan service in a theater just makes me cringe. I had the same reaction to the tears and gasps at the film's conclusion. I don't normally have an issue with myself or others being personally affected by art, but for some reason it just feels hollow and disingenuous to me when it's presented in the context of a Marvel movie.
I will probably be watching Endgame a few days late as a result.
Using a phone isn't a response to the events taking place in a film. Yelling can be. People in theaters can scream when something scary happens. They can cry when something sad happens. Why shouldn't they cheer when something amazing happens?ERA movie logic

Are there live reactions to the snap? I assume that at least a large portion of the general movie-going audience was not expecting that.
Yea, totally comparable to have what a new movie at the time to a decade worth of build up of characters.
Well yea, I thought they were saying because people were clapping, but not cheering. To attack people cheering specifically made applause moments is ironic with people calling people who cheer disingenuous. It's just so obvious who irrationally hates the mcu because they don't think its earned the mega popularity it has. Do people cheering during a part with just the blaring avengers theme have the movie ruined for them? They make it seem like people are doing it during the climax of the godfather or something.I think you're reading the wrong thing from that post. The poster is likely in agreeance with you; they're just showing that this isn't some MAHVEL millennial thing, but natural reactions from regular human beings when they're engrossed in cinema such as this.
People have been screaming, laughing, and cheering in theaters since the silent age. Marvel might be the franchise to really earn it though as you said in your next post - people have gotten to know these characters over the course of a decade. It does add a little extra sauce to the more standard "big damn hero" moments that are popular everywhere.
Uh....are you serious? Did you know there were also white people fighting there? I'd say it's the fact that Thor is a literal God and the avengers/wakandans were losing to a near unstoppable force.Corny. White savior swoops in to help the Africans. I was utterly appalled.
To be clear, I don't hate the MCU. I've seen every movie outside of Captain Marvel (I'm saving it until I can meet with a friend) and I have almost exclusively enjoyed them. Though, to be fair, I don't think there's as huge a gulf between crying at Transformers and crying at Infinity War as you imply. I grew up with the MCU. They have been a central part of my cultural/filmic education they are a regular fixture of social interactions. I can remember rabidly discussing Iron Man with my friends in middle school. But I still don't jive with the fanaticism that surrounds them.Why is it disingenuous for marvel movies?

The fanaticism surrounds them because it's a cinematic universe that has actually worked out great, for over a decade. There hasn't been anything like this.To be clear, I don't hate the MCU.

I haven'f fully processed why it feels disingenuous to me with regard to Marvel as opposed to other films. Honestly, the only reason why I qualified my statement so that it included only Marvel movies was because I remember how much I loved the audience reactions in my viewing of "Get Out." Perhaps that film was simply the exception to my rule, rather than the embodiment of the rule itself.
Once again, I have been unclear in my terminology. I understand why the films are popular. I agree that it is an unprecedented feat. I just do not find myself to be in the same mindset as the contingent of fans who find it necessary to cheer for expected plot developments in a film.The fanaticism surrounds them because it's a cinematic universe that has actually worked out great, for over a decade.

I must be the only person that thinks these movies are just rushed cash grabs... This is getting to Star Wars level of absurdity.
You're not the only person, but you're definitely in the squawking minority ;)I must be the only person that thinks these movies are just rushed cash grabs... This is getting to Star Wars level of absurdity.

And obviously you know the context every single time when somebody looks at their phone, right?
That's not for you to decide.Yes, to spell it out:
Looking at phone: a selfish action that detracts from the collective experience.
Sincere cheering at the right point in a film that's designed to get the audience to pop off: adds to the collective experience.
There is NO context in which looking at your phone is anything but a selfish act.
My god, shut the hell up and let me enjoy my movie.
This is a benifit of British people, well at least in my city.
Somebody looking at their phone is less distracting than somebody - even if it's just one person - flat out yelling and screamingGive me an example where someone looking at their phone benefits the rest of the audience.

This idea that this "benefits the audience" is ludicrous. Some people maybe enjoy it, for others it flat out ruins a scene.
Is this behavior only okay if it's a Marvel movie? Like when I watch, I dunno, Roma and suddenly start howling because I think a scene is great is that also beneficial to the audience?
It IS the same context as sports arenas or concerts, period. And it also varies wildly depending on cultural context - don't get mad if you're a Brit watching a DBZ movie in Latin America and the crowd tears the roof down. YOU'RE the outsider.
Yep, that's the crux here.Fun is allowed, just don't spoil the fun for other people by acting like an insane person, I really do not understand this behavior and thankfully I have never experienced this level of absurdity in the cinema here in Denmark.

everything about this
i could cry i'm so happy
i do hope they are talking to more actors than just Chopra though
I do wonder how what the reaction from India would be if the first MCU superhero from South Asia is a Pakistani American woman. I mean, Chopra had to apologise for the Quantico plot line. They would probably cast someone much younger than Chopra for that role though.
The posters in this thread who repeatedly attempt to shame people for reacting to movies at the theater should be even more embarrassed.Russo brothers love these reaction clip and listen to them to relax
