      When I watched Avengers Infinity War and Endgame in the cinema on launch day, the audience was very reactive. There was cheering, applause, laughter, etc.

      Was a great experience you rarely get in this extent, elsewhere. Every one in those theatre rooms was a big enough fan though, to go see the non dubbed version in a non English speaking country on launch day.

      Stuff like that is great and ads to the cinema experience. However, I very much believe the „brainrotification“ of cinema, as described by oop, would infinitely detract from the experience for everyone but the most late stage adhd brainrot gen z and gen alpha ppl. I would not go to a cinema like that.

        I feel like these kinds of movies are meant to be experienced in theatre’s with others, it adds to the experience when everyone is openly reacting to the scenes. But I sure as shit don’t want any of this behavior for more serious movies, so there’s a time and a place for everything.

          Yes absolutely. In a serious film that‘d be very much out of place. But also, actually serious films usually don’t have „epic“ twists and encourage cheering on the protagonist. And I can absolutely excuse an audibly sobbing seat neighbour, if the film was sufficiently impactful or laughter if I’m watching a comedy. Which all does happen. Unless either director or audience were utterly tone deaf, most movies make the audience react in a way that’s appropriate for the kind of film it is.

      Good movies still get good audiences. When I saw Deadpool & Wolverine, the audience was laughing and engaging the whole time, it was great.

      This behavior is acceptable for mass entertainers like the MCU movies or Mission Impossible etc but I want none of this for serious cinema
