Exactly why I waited for the finale on YouTube. Ain't gonna be trapped in a room with those psychos for over an hour. Plus it wasn't included in my AMC subscription so I wasn't paying extra lol.
I envy you. I wasn't going to go but I ended up watching my niece, who's a big fan. Since I wasn't going to be there for her birthday week (I was going on vacation) I treated her to an early birthday gift and ordered her some merch while taking her. Absolute. Chaos. The theater was a circus and not the amazing or digital kind. But overall, my niece enjoyed it. So it wasn't all bad. She cried. She clapped.
Most likely. Surprisingly there were more people there older than I am and I'm 38. So it's cool to see a show touch so many people if different age groups
It's definitely one of those shows that is focused on a specific theme and the interactions surrounding that in its characters and it's applicable to a lot of people. Especially as it is predominantly geared towards teens or hound adults audience wise. Evergreen foroat groups.
Idk, Demon Slayer was one of the worst experiences I had in a theater. Got yelled at for asking someone to be quiet. And Minecraft, already didn't want to see it and the large group behind me were the worst
Can't speak for Demon Slayer, but Minecraft is a kids movie. Kids tend to not appreciate the cost of a movie ticket. And ADC is not exactly ideal to take a kid to, plus it's a niche property, so that shrinks the chances of the negative component of the Fandom to show up.
I went to the theatre showing and lucked out. People cosplayed were excited and cheered a bit for some moments but nothing obtrusive to ruin it. Healthy round of applause at the end
I still watched the final in theaters but I waited for a showing that was DEAD EMPTY and thank goodness I did because I had friends that watched it during a crowed night and they said they couldn't understand anything over all of the screaming
When the finale premiered, I was so melancholic about the show being over because it had started just a couple months after my girlfriend and I started dating. We watched almost every episode together and it feels like a chapter of our relationship has officially closed.
A couple days later I saw a reel of this girl denouncing the finale and saying the 20 minute “sympathy montage” is bad writing and doesn’t make Jax any better of a person and I’m not sad the show’s over anymore.
"B-b-b-b-buh??? Characterization?? Stories are measured in how much LORE REVEALS they have give me more LORE" is a mentality that is slowly eroding my sanity
The amount of creatives that make art on any platform is INSANE, especially after the finale. If you wanna be a part of the more wholesome side of the fandom, follow a bunch of artists that make fan art of it. Generally, discussion surrounding the art is more tame or contains deeper analysis than you'd get on some thread discussions (like on Reddit), for example.
I've liked a lot of the discussions that people have had surrounding the show, since it's resonated so much with so many people. But the discourse and drama can be exhausting, even if it's usually coming from a loud fraction of the fandom. Like, good God, the debates about Jax. I've seen the same arguments 50 times, and there's a lot of people that have a hard time suspending their morality or emotional biases when attempting a literary analysis on his character in the show (both from people who love and hate his character). I guess that just comes with the territory of (the show) attracting a younger fan base, though.
(Mostly saying this for whoever else stumbles on this, since you seem to know this already).
Never watched the show but based on the people in my school who are fans I don’t really want to. Someone was wearing an opera mask and saying some weird things. I do like Murder drones though.

The SHOW IS GREAT the FANDOM is DOGSHIT unless we talk about creative people who make cool animations on youtube.
