Film Twitter claims Doomsday is cooked because nobody's cheering for the Steve Rogers trailer in theaters, to which I ask: Do Americans really clap for trailers? Specially in this day and age when the trailers always drop online first?
>>151856213>Do Americans really clap for trailers?Why do you think we call them Americlaps?
>>151856213People here clap when the plane lands man.
>>151856213If you went to Endgame on opening night. One really weird element was watching the big climax. There are so many moments where it feels like the audience is conditioned to clap. Not just the payoffs happening but the way it's all paced and timed.America mastered the blockbuster, certain films are advertised as "experiences". If you pay attention to how a lot of scenes in big action blockbusters are shot and paced, you notice the conditioning more and more. It's uncanny
>>151856213Wait I thought he got old and retired
>>151856213You don't understand how America works. If you like a movie, you don't clap, you take out your gun and shoot the person next to you in the head.
>>151856213The whole American's clapping in theaters is one of those dumb internet hysteria things I have never once seen it actually happen in all my life
>>151856327>witness dramatic pause>witness hanging shot>assumes a physical / auditory reaction must occurits funny all this talk of 'get in my frame' or 'stay out of others frames' you see on social media and in person seminars. it must be a byproduct of mass scale ADHD. like how kids cant watch something past a couple of seconds unless it is autistically crafted by AI out of all their favorite algorithms. personally i find it relaxing to quietly observe on some occasions. and to simply feel something in a passive way. maybe its just cause i read books as a child. but who knows really
>>151856213STOP FUCKING GIVING TWITTER ATTENTION
>>151856213Making noise in the theater is generally frowned upon.
>>151856475>I'm a sophisticated film expert, not like the autistic young people of today. That's why I only defend and consume the finest Marvel slop.>Mmmm, yes, none of you are mature enough to understand the comedy genius of such lines as "he's right behind me isn't he" and "well THAT just happened." I suppose it's because I had books shoved up my butt as a child that I can appreciate the wit and genius if "I am Groot." You see, the joke is that he is Groot. You'll understand someday, perhaps.
>>151856475No it's deliberate.The thing is, filmmaking isn't simply an art. There's a science to it all and the bigger the budget or just the more mainstream/viral it's trying to go, the more you should expect that to be applied. The shot, the color palette, the editing, the sound cue, it's all much more measured in the average blockbuster these days. Even the timing between the "activate instant kill" and the "arms come out" is perfectly timed to make the audience gasp and then cheer. Giving the audience just the split seconds to recognize the callback before the payoff comes in.That's what's so insane about the Endgame scene. I was in my cynical "smarter than everyone else" phase when I went to see it with my friends, so part of me was looking for the "production assistant's payoff checklist". So maybe I sorta ruined my own enjoyment, but I remember even as I enjoyed the movie and did enjoy a lot of the final battle, that endless barrage of carefully planned fanservice bugged me and still kinda does. To the point I was actively picturing the checklist the moment I started noticing the pattern and was able to predict which payoffs would be coming next based on the character on screen.The moment "on your left" comes so shortly after the hammer, then you get all the portals, it clicked that it was gonna be a giant fanservice scene with moment after moment. Once you see the particular fanservice, you realize the checklist
>>151856213I've heard them cheer for characters (in Canada). There were also some trailers that came out where you got online video of the crowd reaction to favorite characters, but no one knows how representative they are.I can't prove one way or the other that people aren't excited for Doomsday. It doesn't seem crazy though. The MCU is not what it used to be.
>>151856773I don't believe any of the over acted reaction videos where people lose their mind over an X-wing or some shit
>>151856213No one stays for trailers and promosAssuming this is playing in front of say Avatar or Zootopia, why would any there fucking care about Marvel slop?Also the clapping is a meme that does not happen
>>151856760It's most apparent in musicals, for obvious reasons. Katzenberg famously told them to add an "APPLAUSE" sign after the "Friend Like Me" number in ALADDIN because he wanted to encourage audiences to clap.And of course, comedies are constantly cut in such a way that the audience can laugh at a big joke without missing important information right after.
>>151856213>is cookedsorry sonny but you have to speak clear
all this optimization and they still won’t add intermissions for bathroom breaks
>>151856621>"he's right behind me isn't he" and "well THAT just happened."Do any of the MCU movies actually have either of those lines?
>>151856977not since joss whedon fucked off to die.
>>151856213This just feels like confirmation bias for something that's already getting roasted for resorting to desperate nostalgia bait. Leave it to Twitter users to concoct some bigger statement of importance out of nothing.
>>151856213>xitter thread
>>151856908gotta get as many showings as possible
>>151856213>Do Americans really clap for trailersI've never seen or heard Americans clap for trailers. I've heard some "Woo!"s when a popular movie trailer is shown, but it's always only like 1 or 2 weirdos.
