Spider-Man: No Way Home *spoilers*

the audience I was with cheered

Has to be a US thing, do other parts of the world cheer at movies?

I suggest you go look up "One More Day/Brand new day"

Worst Spiderman series/set ever. Made possible even worse after (Doc Oc as Peter Parker and Spiderman, etc).

I hear they may be trying to repair the damage now (over a decade later, a little late I'd say as they lost me and a ton of other spiderman readers from the comic book, though I imagine that many still buy trade PBs of earlier collections of series prior to that, as well as watch the movies and other items). Perhaps I might try it again if I hear they repair that damage they did all that while ago, but they made me hate their take of Spidey.

At least this movie proved that Andrew Garfield deserved to be in much better films, because damn was he a good Peter Parker in this

He always was. I enoyed TAS movies. I think people were just upset because they did a reboot and did it rather soon after the classic spiderman trilogy (instead of doing what they needed to do to continue that trilogy into a longer movie series).

It was a great due of movies though. I thought the first was stronger than the second though. Gwen Staceys events at the end of the second movie (won't go into full spoiler) seemed tacked on, should have had a more full exploration of that event (IMO).

If it’s a cool or exciting scene, sure!
Folks in other countries don’t do that?

YOU DON'T VOME TO MY HOUSE AND SPEAK ILL OF THE SUPERIOR SPIDERMAN RUN!

Seriouslly now, I love that run. And the latter run of the superior spiderman with dock ock in San Francisco.

I have never heard anyone cheer at something occurring on screen in the cinema in the UK.

Someone trips coming in with their popcorn, of course. But anyone with manners will not make a sound during the film itself.

I’m assuming that wasn’t a back-handed shot at American movie audiences, right?

Being in a packed theater watching a movie like Avengers Endgame or Spider Man No Way Home and having everyone cheer during a big part is an awesome, collective experience. I feel kind of bad for places that don’t do that honestly …

There were shouts and cheers from the Kiwi audience with whom I saw this movie. It’s pretty rare for people to make noise in the cinema here, though.

I expect there’s still a strong element of politeness in UK society that results in no cheering from cinema audiences. (Not at all suggesting this is a bad thing, btw. I prefer a silent audience at the cinema myself, and I am American.)

I came back with a reply, but thought, what does it actually help. It might just foster bad attitudes, so am editing it out overall.

I will keep the writing that most of the time those in the US ARE quiet during movies, and anyone who thinks that those in Europe or the UK are simply just more polite than Americans are at events (go to a Football event for example) probably just haven't been exposed to certain groups of rowdy people on either side of the ocean.

The general movie showing in the US is a rather quiet one though with no cheering or clapping or anything else except watching the film.

Loved it.

I didn't like the idea of rebooting Spiderman after Toby. Aside from #3's problems, he did a good job. But then Andrew also did a good job. And then that was also swept aside.

This movie reached out to both of them and hugged them into canon. Now when somebody asks what's the MCU watching order, it better include Toby and Andrew's films. (for the record, I stand by Release Date order as it was originally experienced). It also redeemed their villain deaths, something Sony inflicted the Batman Solution (since all those movies also killed their villain).

The premise that Strange would attempt such a spell seemed iffy, especially when right after canceling the spell, Steven finds out what Peter really needed was an adult who knew how college admissions worked. That last bit was realistic, because families sending their first to college have no reference.

I'm not sure how I feel about Peter and his ending with MJ and Ned. The reality is, his core dumping all of that on them right then would have been crazy. He'd need to play it slower, and this is supposed to be the end of the movie. Plus, MJ's statement of "it doesn't hurt anymore" kinda signals a move-on, don't risk breaking them.

Not really cultures are different the world over. You guys probably wouldn't get pantomimes, or how offensive our football chants are for example.

I'm genuinely curious if it is just a US thing or does it happen in other parts of the world.
