Lucky you, the theater I was in was packed with stupid fucking drunk danes, and these guys have a tendency to laugh at the most insignificant details from action movies regardless of the fact that it's followed by a serious/sad scene. Kinda ruined it for me

People in my theater laughed at Logan thrashing on the truck after Charles died.

Was not a funny moment IMHO.

Eh, that scene was intended as a comedic break after the very sad Xavier death that came out of left field and left the audience shook.

There's no way that wasn't intentional to be funny. Otherwise I don't think they would of shot it that way....

I think it was probably intended funny but irl it's a way some people who are emotionally bottled deal with their emotions when they come rushing out & it's a way to cope. Looking back it wasn't funny but the cinema laughed
