Olympic Opening Ceremony

[P. Marlowe]

Never watched one before, but it’s on in the office. WTF am I watching? Are they all this weird? I’ve seen some squid game/assassins creed cosplayer do parkour with a torch, a bunch of headless Marie Antoinette’s singing, and some bisexual foreplay (insert jerrynottheresanythingwrongwiththat.gif). The outdoor team parade on the Seine is cool. The rest of it seems….something.

They showcase the culture of the hosting nation. Parkour, Moulin Rouge, Marie Antoinette, etc are all French

I have it on at the office as well. Kudos to the French for doing something different and "out of the box" in not doing the typical stadium thing. It would probably suck to be there in person as the athletes on parade and the entertainment seem to be a long distance from the spectators. The Opening Ceremonies can get a little weird but it is a showcase of the culture of that nation. London 2012 was pretty epic in my opinion as well at Beijing 2008. The weirdess can be summed up by the silence of Peyton Manning I suppose. NBC is paying him to commentate and I don't think he has said two words since the initial intro.

I didn't watch, however, flexing with 'remember that time we cut our queen's head off?' is not on my bingo card.

I'm watching, and think it's ok. A little avant garde, sure. But...they're French.

 

[Smiling_Tiger]

To answer your question- yes. They are all weird as **** and they are getting weirder. I do love the parade of athletes on boats down the Seine river instead of the typical march in

I kind of assumed it would be a lot of pomp early and then they’d quit a few minutes in….

Well done.

It’s a good thing colds are caused by viruses and not really by spending hours in the 60° rain with no rain gear like my grandmother said. Otherwise performances would be off the next two weeks.

NWO Intro

Thought it was fantastic start to finish

 

[Clem'sSon]

In typical French fashion they overdid it. Much of it was great, an equal amount was WTF?

The Olympic Flame in a Cauldron suspended from a hot air balloon? And yes I get the history, but still... Put it in the damned stadium.

Stadium wasn't even a part of tonight. Stade de France is in Saint Denis which is back towards the Olympic Village right at 10 miles from the Eifel

 

[Solid Orange Blood]

That last supper montage was purely Satanic. We're fuct.

 

[Silverstreak02]

I left the office around the time the parade of nations was wrapping up. Must’ve been a doozy with all the people who swore they weren’t gonna watch tweeting about the evil satanic rituals

I’m just glad they were able to hold a trans Last Supper, that really brings out the Olympic spirit.

Seriously?

 

[Cabotiger]

Lebron can’t stand for the National Anthem but has no problem as our flag carrier?

 

[mskoonce]

Man some people just want something to be mad about.

Although IOC+France+LeBron is an easy target.

Never watched an opening ceremony of Olympics?

Wow

 

[scartiger]

 

[other1]

They're making way too much of all the , supposed, celebrities on hand. It isn't about them. Total BS

 

[Spare Jock]

Never watched one either but it they all mock the last supper I'm not missing much

 

[Clemsontyger04]

Seriously?

Yup

 

[Chrisco11]

Yup

Wow. Thought it was appropriate for national television aka kids watching?

 

[CUPLAYER1]

Gojira performing Les Mis on the side of a castle is the most bad *** thing I've seen

 

[anon1753124268]

Non binary folks kissing. France, there are kids watching this.

 

[okclem]

There's a lot of people on Twitter demanding that Kamala Harris condemn the opening ceremony, so I'm assuming it must have made somebody feel tingly in a way they found inappropriate.

Ah that's it I knew it. Our children will get woke now from watching the Olympics. Typical moral outrage from the right.

You truly are an *** idiot. Really should Stfu

im not on the right.

 

[Jcobeebe]

“Moral outrage on the right.”

Would it be acceptable to do this to any other religion?

Do Islam next.

 

[okclem]

I feel like I've heard you say that before.

 

[Clemson-btc]

It’s funny how there is all of this buildup to them and they’re always incredibly boring and weird imo.

 

[okclem]

im not on the right.

No I didn't say you were. Didn't mean to imply it Your post just shed light on the moral outrage I'm seeing on Twitter, which is definitely coming from the right. I just hadn't seen anyone specify what it was that was so outrageous.

 

[Buzzards Roost]

I was sure it was sarcasm.

 

[okclem]

“Moral outrage on the right.”

Oh I would believe me. I like Islam even less than I like Christianity. If you heard my feelings on Islam you'd probably call me an Islamophobe. I dislke religion across the board.

Of course it would. Eff em

 

[Clemsontyger04]

Absolutely

 

[TC Tiger]

Parts of it were straight satanic. Mocking Christianity. Mocking Jesus. It was awful, but … Philippians 2:9-11.
