When I lived in the US, I *hated* when people would make noise during movies. But I wish I could have been a part of an American audience for Endgame. In Tokyo, the crowd was (as ever) totally silent...except for audible muffled sobbing after Tony saved the day. Agreed. Speaking as a Brit, its generally considered extremely rude to make noise at the movies, aside from laughing at jokes and reacting to jump scares, and that's just the way I like it. But man do I wish I'd been in a rowdy audience for Endgame.

I think most of that enjoyment from them is ironic and for the memes than genuine devotion...though I have seen some fangirls who are very high on Anakin's tragedy, but that makes it easier to become OT fans as a whole It's not ironic. Everyone I know under 30 that like Star Wars legit like the prequels. There’s definitely both. There’s a huge subset of prequel fans that ironically like it. As has been mentioned with memes and the like. But there are definitely people that are genuine fans of them. it's still foreign to me that people cheer out loud in a movie theatre, during the film. here we just sit and watch and frown on people who chat during the film. but at the same time, I'm happy to see such big reactions. I understand occasionally reacting viscerally to a movie. Like out of impulse. But Marvel has standardized the superhero moment where everyone hollers and cheers and claps and boy am I over that.

As has been mentioned with memes and the like. But there are definitely people that are genuine fans of them. From my personal experience, the people who "ironically" like the prequels seem to be the older OT fans that enjoy making fun of them, and people who like to ironically watch bad movies in general. Other people's experience may vary, but everyone I've met under 30 that likes Star Wars just views at all as one thing, and don't really differentiate between the prequels, the OT, or the ST, and they all seem to like Clone Wars and Rebels too. It's all just Star Wars to them. Edit: I don't know how I f***ed up that post. The first paragraph is Fade, the rest is me.

The lightsaber going to Rey wasn't just about Rey, it was as much about Kylo as it was her. The lightsaber flew past the last blood Skywalker, someone who is claiming Anakin's legacy as his own to continue, and instead went to a nobody scavenger from Jakku. I'm not saying it's better than the Captain America moment (I haven't see that, so I can't) but it's more than just the lightsaber going to Rey.

Everyone I know under 30 that like Star Wars legit like the prequels. Yeah, from the 20-somethings I know, it's genuine love of the prequels, even more than the original trilogy. Yes, there's a lot of memes especially from Episode III, but the love is there. These were their Star Wars movies as children, so it holds a special place in their hearts. They also had the excellent Clone Wars to further their attachment to the era and characters like Anakin, Padme, and Obi-Wan along with the original characters introduced like Ahsoka and Rex.

They're both well executed moments in a vacuum, but the build up of Cap and what it means to be able to lift Mjolnir makes it stand out more. Plus Rey was already confirmed to be Force sensitive by that point in the movie, while the closest we got to Cap being deemed worthy is the hint in Age of Ultron (though we arguably all knew he was getting that hammer the moment Thor brought it back from the past). Man, did that moment pop crowds. Everything is better with a crowd. God, I miss crowds.

Rey summoning the lightsaber is cool in retrospect, but honestly, right when that happened I was a little gutted because I really thought Luke was about to show up.
Cap? Mark out, no questions asked.

The Rey moment was nice and all but I don’t even think it’s fair to compare it to the Cap Moment. People had been speculating/hyping the scene for nearly a decade. Kids who remember when Steve Rogers was The Captain back in the late '80s already got that moment, so we were......a bit impressed with Endgame, I guess.

Cap wielding Mjolnir is without a doubt the most euphoric moment I’ve ever experienced in a movie. That entire battle gives me chills every single time I watch it (including just last night) but when he summoned Thor’s hammer after the wink in Ultron... god damn that was a moment.
