The hovering flame is pretty kino
>>143021642The technical aspects (other than the rain) where pretty based. Would have been a great show if they could have kept it short to 2-3 hours.

Someone is going to pop it.
>>143021642one of the nicer aspects of it, i like when they showed the city, the arc de triomphe, and the louvre and the light shows on the eiffel tower. they did make it beautiful in the end. it almost made up for all the other BS.
>>143021701The heavy rain limited the skyviews but made the laser show more impressive
>>1430216543 hour show + no hamfisted obese women and drag queens and it would have been near perfect.
>>143021642Especially considering hot air balloons are a french invention
>>143021654I think the big difference with other ceremonies is that you had the athletes parade at the same time. Most of the time you have the ceremony, then you could skip the parade. Also the rain fucked up the pacing a bit, and we had way less camera angles than expected (drones couldn't work).
>>143021642It's just a fucking ball, would have been WAY cooler to light the Eiffel Tower on fire
