Avengers has probably the biggest audience reaction moment in the entire mcu (puny god, yes more than "on your left") and one of the two moments in the entire mcu that genuinely thrilled me (the Thanos reveal, Nick Fury at the end of the first Iron Man is the other) so for as much as Whedon is an rear end, the movie isn't all bad.

Entirely anecdotal because not every audience is the same, but Cap lifting Mjolnir and the “on your left” portals scene made puny god pale in comparison.

Just rewatched Iron Man 3. It’s a lot better than I remember. Kind of thought AIM was wasted, hope it get resurrected. At the end, Tony says he got Pepper ‘sorted out’ concerning the Extremis enhancement forced on her. Does that mean Tony completely removed it or simply stabilized the enhancement so she can’t go boom? Is Pepper still a super human? Could Extremis have been passed onto her daughter?

Right now, things are looking reasonably good for the viability of a theatrical-only release in September, let alone November, but that could change. Soph from Peep Show being an Oscar winner is one of those things that'll never be not surreal. It's like Eminem being a Tony away from the EGOT.

Polaron posted:Yeah, the show hasn't really said why the organization designed to help the half of humanity who died and came back is evil and needs resisting beyond "We're not special anymore" spite. Karli keeps saying the world was a utopia before everyone came back but it looked pretty dire in Endgame. She really doesn't say that. She says things were "better." And they probably were for some people - especially people which had things suck for them. Figure the U.S. Presidential election during that time would have had immigration as a huge issue in terms of "I can get way more immigrants than him!" Then, five years out, the "Snapped" return. They want their jobs back. And their homes/stuff back. And as much as it sucks for the new people, those are not unreasonable things for the "Snapped" to want or get. It's not like they volunteered to get Snapped. Fan-wanking it, the GRC was formed with the mission of getting the Snapped back into their lives again with the immigrants/displaced being a side issue to that. So the "side issue" got stuffed into "temporary housing" AKA camps and kind of forgotten. The GRC needs resisting because some of those forgotten side issues are dying from diseases because the medicine to cure them is gathering dust in GRC warehouses instead of going where it's needed.

Oh totally, I will say though, that the first time I saw Avengers in a theater, I didn't hear Hulk say puny god because the audience reaction to Hulk smashing the tar out of Loki was so loud. That wasn't the case with Endgame, which I saw in the same theater, but obviously not the same audience.

On that note, theaters offer a unique experience but I've enjoyed watching a movie for the first time in my own home since I pick up on more. Theaters are amazing for stuff like Rocky Horror Picture Show showings. Stuff where audience participation is basically expected.

If the audience is drowning out the dialogue of a new movie then either the volume is nowhere near loud enough or people need to shut the gently caress up and watch.

I would be of the opinion that while most movies are better seen at home, big action blockbusters are one of the few exceptions, because the huge screen and expensive sound system compliment them far more than they would the average comedy, romance film etc. I do think there are a few other exceptions though, notably 3D films. At least, properly made 3D films where the film is made from the ground up to be 3D, not just something that was tacked on later. Of which I can only think of a handful personally (Avatar and Dr. Strange are basically it). stev posted:If the audience is drowning out the dialogue of a new movie then either the volume is nowhere near loud enough or people need to shut the gently caress up and watch.

I generally avoid 3D movies at all costs, just because so many are of the style where it's just tacked on later (like you said). But the first movie I saw in 3D that made me think "this is cool" was TRON 2, it added depth to the screen without gratuitous pop-outs. quote:This seems to be an almost uniquely American phenomenon.

I think of the audience moments in Avengers vs. Endgame and maybe I'm stretching, but I think they've learned to play into the audience reaction beats a little more. Like, puny god is after the moment, the audience might still be reacting, and its a genuinely great line sorta muttered by a character that isn't the most intelligible anyway. Meanwhile, Cap lifting Mjolnir doesn't have particularly noteworthy lines associated with it, "On Your Left" kicks off the sequence, and "Avengers Assemble" is telegraphed by a lot of audio and visual cues to get the audience to settle down for just a moment. All that said, I see both sides. I'm glad I heard the lines the first time through in my theatre, but drat if the videos of packed auditoriums with cheering don't sound fun. I'm a whore for these things, it isn't like I didn't know I was going to watch it at least once more going in. I'd probably feel different if these movies weren't such cultural events.

Lol that you actually believe this. EDIT: If you're going to build big audience moments into your movie, it's on you to structure your pacing and dialogue to give those moments room to breathe and not step on your plotting. There's plenty of video of people reacting to big action/horror/dramatic moments in movies to make clear that it's not a uniquely American response.

One of the Marvel Studios VPs is leaving the door open to more Falcon and Winter Soldier, and possibly more Loki, but shoots down any idea that there could be more WandaVision (for obvious reasons). https://www.ign.com/articles/loki-and-falcon-winter-soldier-could-get-multiple-seasons-wandavision-far-less-likely

No one heard "puny god" in the theater and it was great. Bruce Banner / the Hulk had spent the movie being the guy that everyone was afraid of - even to the point where that fear was being used by the villain as a weapon. Getting to Loki and paying him back (along with being earlier accepted by the team) had a lot of punch. It was the loudest I've ever hear an audience laugh and it's no surprise the movie makers didn't expect the line to be drowned out. The first time I've ever heard an audience get totally silent was during Titanic when the band gave up on saving themselves and started to play. No shuffling feet, no one munching on popcorn.

I remember watching Infinity War in a relatively filled theatre, but not packed, and after the credits were all done and I walked out, there was a pair of ladies who had come out just before me. One was sitting on a bench and asked her friend "are you okay?" The other was on her hands and knees weeping and she replied "No I'm not okay I just wanna diiiiieeeee"

Adding to the fanwank, the GRC also have opportunists who want the displaced back to their country since it's likely there will be a lot of dissidents and political refugees fleeing their home country during the snap when working conditions became too much. Look at the pandemic and see how civil liberties just die under it, now imagine after the Snap, labor laws meant to protect you are suspended in the name of sustaining the infrastructure, assembly bans that don't go away to keep labor actions from happening. If you have a chance to get out, you would flee your country asap
