I love watching the olympics since I was little, since 2008 in Beijing. I personally think Paris opening ceremony was one of the best I’ve seen.

It was really creative, and they thought outside the box. The artists were amazing, the boat introduction was cool as hell, overall the entire thing was great.

I know about the controversy of the drag queens imitating the last supper or something, but I thought it was really pretty, and my mum, who is catholic, thought it was great.

I don’t know why else people think it was bad. What are your thoughts about it?

TIA and please be nice (and to each other too!)

    Gaga is not even French, Camera shots from the across the river would show things too far away, water droplets and fog made camera visual not great, boat idea could have been fun but it fell flat and weird with how some countries were shoved together and others got a tiny dingy, not to mention, once again cameras were so far away you couldn’t get good visuals. Flag bearers were useless and you couldn’t even see them behind those massive blue flags stating the nation. A 4-minute segment about a threesome was strange. And I know the controversy but I can’t comment on the blue man feast of dionysus because my broadcast didn’t even show it.

    Best parts were Gojira performance which was fucking rad, and I also liked the silver horse running down the Seine. But there were more cons than pros.

      I forgot about the library threesome. I wasn’t offended but it gave me GAP/old navy ad vibes which is not what I think they were going for. If you have to have what is going on literally written on books the characters are holding it is not good. And they didn’t tie them into the outside part of that segment. Like have them walking around so it seems cohesive or something?
