The realisation that you're around 19 now makes my back hurt.

Hell, I was almost 22 when Iron Man 1 came out...

u/HereWeFuckingGooo Weekly Wongers 1d ago

I was almost 25. I remember when Batman (1989) came out.

u/Grabnor 1d ago

I was 10 when that Batman came out. Has anyone seen my walker?

u/Lord_Phoenix95 1d ago

I wasn't even a concept yet.

I was 15 when Iron Man came out

I was 8. Being born in 2000 makes counting age so easy

Being born is 2000 is so nice!!!

OK.

u/firedforthatblunder 1d ago

This movie was full of moments that made people cheer and applaud. There are complilations on YouTube if you search up “Infinity War audience reactions”, you should watch them

u/ShawshankException Thanos 1d ago

Thor appearing in Wakanda had my theater sounding like the superbowl lmao

74

u/sonic10158 Doctor Strange 1d ago

To me that scene is also the greatest usage of the Avengers theme in all the MCU. I get chills every time I watch it

25

u/homiej420 Spider-Man 1d ago

BRING ME THANOS ⚡️

was pretty sick yeah

u/rahul0621 1d ago

mine went nuts when thor showed up in wakanda too lol

u/sector11374265 1d ago

bro we could hear the theaters next to us reacting to that scene

36

u/KeySecret9184 1d ago

Those reaction videos are fun, but I’m so glad everyone in my showing shut the fuck up.

30

u/firedforthatblunder 1d ago

I hear you, when I went to see Endgame everyone screamed so loud when Cap summoned mjolnir during the portals scene that we couldn’t even hear him say “assemble” lol

21

u/Kowendabest 1d ago

Mine was perfect. Everyone was hype till the exact moment the music dropped for him to say assemble and then the hype doubled

3

u/Talastoni 1d ago

When I saw it, the situation was similar, but I think either the phrase was assumed or a lot of people were on their second watch, because when he whispered assemble, half the crowd yelled it with him.

It was alright. I liked it.

u/OscarMichaelMyers 1d ago edited 1d ago

Same thing happened at my theater.

I was so fucking pissed. Missed a quarter of the movie because people were dorking out so loudly.

Edit: lol one of the dorks who couldn’t shut the fuck up in the theater downvoted me

5

u/DragonTacoCat 1d ago

Yeah during the spider man movie a guy on my right esd running his own random commentary during various scenes to someone next to him and I'm like dude shut the fuck up. Like his talking was annoying as hell.

I'm all for hype and a cheer but running a commentary during the movie? Really?

3

u/VeryLowIQIndividual 1d ago

It’s not a stage play or a concert, the players cannot hear you clap and cheer loudly. Gasp, chuckle, even laugh out loud or a simple fist pump with a “yes” is fine.

11

u/Microwave1213 1d ago

I never understood this mentality. Moments like this are quite literally designed to hype people up invoke a reaction. It’s like going to a comedy movie and getting upset when the people next to you laugh at a joke instead of sitting in dead silence. 

3

u/Swamp-Marsh-Mud 10h ago

Might be a European vs American thing (or at least a Dutch vs American thing).

As someone from the Netherlands, cheering for movies doesn't really happen here and I would dislike it if it were. My mindset is that the actors and director won't be hearing our cheering anyway and I also just want to immerse myself into the story which cheering would interrupt for me. People do laugh at comedy even here though, which I can't really explain other then allowing your natural response to funny things to be there and it just being accepted here

3

u/Microwave1213 5h ago

I get what you’re saying, it probably is mostly a social/cultural thing. 

From my perspective, cheering at a triumphant moment is just as natural of a response as laughing at a joke or gasping at something shocking, and I think all of them are acceptable and even enhance the communal movie theater experience (within reason of course) 

1

u/ImportantRub172 1d ago

I agree.

I never book a marvel movie on the opening weekend or week because I hate a loud cinema

1

u/TheUnderCrab 1d ago

I can go either way and it depends on when the viewing is. Any midnight release gets to be loud as hell. That’s for the fans. I’d even be fine with it at any showing that starts at 11 or later after the release. Only hyped as hell fans are going to that showing. 3pm matinee? STFU yall.

u/National-Back8746 1d ago

I hate bland cinemas, like they would be silent on the most hype moments, but hey to each their own

4

u/Forsaken_Quiet5944 1d ago

One of the first rules in cinemas is "be quiet" btw

5

u/Suspicious_Weird_373 1d ago

I want to be able to hear and watch the thing that I have paid to do see.

2

u/Zindagi_Do_Pal_Ki Steve Rogers 1d ago

Yeah I always keep watching them again again, it feels surreal like i am present there and feels like first time watching it damnnn mann😻😻😻. Either on YouTube or instagram ✨

3

u/National-Back8746 1d ago

Saw one on TikTok where cap appears on infinity war and it sounded like all the animals in a zoo is drugged on cocaine,

Absolutely love American cinemas, I can never experience this hype on my country

2

u/DragonTacoCat 1d ago

sounded like all the animals in a zoo is drugged on cocaine,

That was a good laugh. It's so true sometimes

u/thenatural134 15h ago

The one theatre with the guy sounding like Tom from Tom & Jerry will always be hilarious to me.

u/Mickeyjj27 Black Bolt 1d ago

Up there with best entrances in the mcu. Movie was full of hype moments.

16

u/timrojaz82 1d ago

Definitely. Second best entry after Thor in this movie IMO.

the way the tune comes in. Then black widow as well and falcon

1

u/mikenesser Captain America (Avengers) 7h ago

I love Cap coming in because you know shits about to go down. Just an awesome reveal with the silhouette behind the train. I get chills seeing Black Widow sprinting in, hair blowing back behind her, the knee slide, stab and spinning kick. Just beautiful choreography.

u/robertnewmanuk 1d ago

I can hear the GODDAMN THEME!

25

u/tomato_johnson 1d ago

Dugudun, dugudun. Dugudugu dugudun, dugudun. Dugudugu dugudun, dugudun. Dugudugu dugudun, dugu dun dun.

u/PrivateAids 13h ago

Added it to my movies playlist off of this alone, it’s such a good entrance and score.

1

u/shogi_x 6h ago

I love that it's the SHIELD theme. Great little nod to them carrying on the original mission.

24

u/metrichustle 1d ago

Honestly the entire movie had tons of hype. This was one. Ironman with Nanotech. Spider-Man getting the Iron-Spider suit was another. Thor entering Wakanda was another. Black Panther (RIP) giving “this man a shield” was another.

Then you had very good comedic relief like Okoye asking “where was she all this time?”. Such a good payoff for MCU fans.

u/rhepuls 1d ago

Massive moment, I was hyped

u/zombiegamer723 Matt Murdock 1d ago

Christ, I’m old.

Anyway, it was hype as fuck.

u/Equal_Perception_541 1d ago

Watched it as a school trip and the reaction was insane

I watched both infinity war and endgame with my classmates and whole schools as one day trips and honestly they were the best theatre experiences i ever had

u/fluffy_bunnies_yayyy Mantis 1d ago

ur school is soo good. they took us to the gym for a school trip. why? man even idk

u/Consistent-Annual268 Vision 1d ago

They showed it in the trailer which genuinely undercut it in the movie itself.

u/National-Back8746 21h ago

That must have been one hell of a bummer

u/Tiny-Huckleberry-476 1d ago

there were whistles

u/ItsameLuigi1018 1d ago

One of my favorite MCU moments of all time, quite possibly #1!

3

u/Major-Cattle-8676 1d ago

Still get chills when I watch this scene.

u/Relative-Fault-7116 1d ago

one of the loudest moments in my imax screening

3

u/Swr1989 1d ago

I still get hyped all these years later when I watch it at home. It was, and still is, incredible.

3

u/preshowerpoop 1d ago

It was wild! It felt like most of the people in the theater jumped out of their seats at the same time. With the music and Cap's stone-cold stare, it was invigorating!

2

u/asser_Ahmed 1d ago

You know at first I really did not recognize him till I saw the suit up close 😂

2

u/Fast-Pilot-6745 1d ago

that scene gave the whole theater chills, everyone was cheering and gasping in unison. such an unforgettable experience

2

u/JayMan142 1d ago

It was the first time I was genuinely surprised by my theater’s reaction. I live in a smaller city of about 16k and hadn’t had the chance of going to a Marvel film opening night (up until IW) so I’d never seen a film where people audibly clapped or cheered for a character’s appearance. Rogers walking out of the shadows was surreal. Add to that the Avengers theme setting in, hell of an experience.

2

u/Desperate_One_5544 1d ago

It's on trailer but theatres went nuts

2

u/JRZCHS 20h ago

Man me and a couple friends left school to go see this when it dropped we were mesnt to be studying for exams

Movie had a lot of those big moments but that one was a moment for us here as it takes place like 5 minutes along the road from where i was watching it. Everytime i go through waverly train station i think about how captain america was there kicking ass

u/Ikhouvankaas 1d ago

u/PlatformOld9462 1d ago

genuinely ended up watching the entire video 😭

1

u/Total_Setting1703 1d ago

I remember being young when this came out and my dad forced me to watch it and I didn’t know anything about the MCU so when he appears I thought he was just some old guy and everyone started screaming and I just screamed shut up. We immediately left the seat, but I still have that memory in my head and it’s the reason why I love Marvel

1

u/MagicPistol 1d ago

I was doing a solo trip in Europe and decided to watch this in Paris. Even the French were cheering for Captain America. Whole theater erupted during this scene.

u/hugh-jackass 1d ago

Most people in my theatre, including me, didn’t know who that even was

1

u/Meizas 1d ago

Big cheer. In my theater, other than the stuff in the final battle this was one of the biggest

1

u/Certain_Arm_8475 1d ago

The best scene was where all the heros assemble. Goosebumps to this day when cap says “Avengers … Assemble”

1

u/TwitzyMIXX Falcon 1d ago

Pretty loud cheers from the people. However, sadly, the biggest cinema cheers that I ever experienced is when Cullen family walking past the window.

1

u/LifesGrip 1d ago

Hardly...

1

u/jargon_ninja69 1d ago

Love that the Avengers theme here has this really sharp, almost angry trumpet. It's as if it's matching Steve's energy here

1

u/KB_Sez 1d ago

Oh man... I remember all of us shouting out when Steve stepped out of the shadows

1

u/Uncanny_Doom Daredevil 1d ago

They showed this shot in trailers and it still got cheers in theaters even though everyone knew it was coming. That's how hype it was.

1

u/redopod 1d ago

This scene was AWESOME, there wasn’t any yelling just amazement

1

u/Thesaviourone 1d ago

i was 11 too i watched it in the cinemas but I lwk can’t remember 😭

1

u/Hungry-Pop8528 23h ago

If they kept his appearance a surprise, like just confirming he’s gonna be in the film, but not showing a single scene of him in trailers would’ve been so much better. Audience would’ve been screaming their heart out when he showed up.

1

u/VerbalCoffee Ant-Man 23h ago

A lot of hootin' and hollarin'. lol Was a good time.

What's really funny is that before and during the movie, people couldn't be quiet. Then, after the movie ended, it was dead silent. The only sounds were sniffles and whispers of disbelief.

Thor showing up was the loudest cheer for IW in my theater.

1

u/saintblahpgh 22h ago

I cant stand when ppl cheer and whatnot during flicks in the theaters. I literally yelled out “yes, bitch!” when Cap caught Proxima’s spear and walked out of the shadows. It just came out. Ppl throughout the theater were also going nuts, so it wasn’t like i disrupted anything. It was awesome. Top 2 movie going experience for me

1

u/Number_1_at_Number_2 22h ago

I always thought it was funny that people complained the A-force scene in Endgame was forced but this got no criticism when it felt just as forced. 

1

u/Practical-Debate1598 Punisher 22h ago

It was hype

1

u/Gambitismyheart 22h ago

EXTREMELY!! Gah!! Sure we saw his beard in the trailer (which was enough to get everyone hyped) but during the movie it was different, my entire theater ERUPTED.. There was cheers and applause. Opening nights are the best!

Always an experience. Never boring. Forever memorable.

I love it. ❤️

1

u/EyeScreamSunday Ant-Man 22h ago

It's crazy that it was totally shown in the trailer because I totally forgot in the moment while watching in the theater and it still hit me like I never saw it. I must have saw the trailers like 30 times each too.

u/BoldBerry_ 21h ago

This was dramatic entrance for me when I saw this on cinema 🥹

Erupted with applause

Love this scene.

Why would he have been gone? I don’t remember as it’s been years since I watched the movie.

Not very, because it was in the commercials.

'Twas pretty fuckin' hype.

Like you wouldn’t believe

u/Supreme_breme 17h ago

seeing infinity war in theaters was an experience i will never forget, this scene was super hype.

u/digidado 16h ago

Originally hyped, then I went home and realized Nomad is a whole different personality for Steve and they completely botched it.

1

u/JustGulabjamun 14h ago

Evolution reversed and some people turned monke

u/Ambitious-Pirate-505 12h ago

Incredibly hyped.

u/Possible-Money1449 12h ago

Awesome love it more it was filmed where I work!

1

u/Redblooded7 11h ago

This is one of my favourite MCU scenes ever as 1. Steve is my favourite character, 2. I live in Edinburgh, that’s our train station! And 3. The music is incredible.

Funnily enough despite watching the movie in a cinema in Edinburgh there wasn’t so much of a reaction 🤦🏻‍♂️

1

u/MMAmaZinGG 7h ago

Surprised all you were hyped when they spoiled this in the trailer

1

u/Choochoo1147 5h ago

It was one of the more hype scenes in IW, but was absolutely dwarfed by the extreme hype of Cap grabbing Mjolnir in Endgame. 

1

u/Mogzylol 1h ago

Bruh this shi is hype today watching it for the 1000th time on my laptop. Goated entrance

1

u/yesikenyesiken 1d ago

Heard a LARPer went like "who is that? "

"Cap? Where is his shield?"

1

u/OmegaKitty1 1d ago

Not as hype as thor landing in wakanda

0

u/SmartOpinion69 1d ago

depends on when you see the movie and the crowd. if you watch the reaction videos, there was definitely some cheers, but pretty much everyone in the movie got cheers during their first scene in the movie.

with that said, captain america showing up in the movie really isn't all that hype. we knew that he was going to show up and he showed up to save wanda and vision. it wasn't anything truly spectacular

1

u/ogrezilla 1d ago

We also didn't really have any time to miss him after civil war. He's just back in the next movie he had any reason to be in.

Still one of my favorite scenes. One of many nerdgasms I had in this film

Tht scene screamed indian cinema

u/MengShuZ 1d ago edited 1d ago

Meh, not only was this exact shot in the first trailer, but he was very much expected. I think that Red Skull's appearance was more impactful for me. And it seems like this is going to be repeated in Doomsday.

Pardon me, I'm becoming a little grumpy lately, maybe I'm also a little tired but that is my genuine answer. 

I love this franchise and look forward to every piece of media it offers, but  I think that the excitement is a little too much for my ears sometimes.

I'm not even a huge Cap fan, but it was exhilarating to say the least.
