But that’s part of the culture.You'd get shot in America
Ganna. Also that was a great moment. Those olympics made little sense to us. Crap in fencing then 3 gold medals in track and fieldI have PTSD from the Italians stealing the 4000m last time. Not fair.
We will do greatYou'd get shot in America
Wonderful indeed. I loved it.This was by far the best opening ceremony. Los Angeles 2028 will have a hard time beating this! Can Hollywood produce something equally spectacular?

The worst bit about the whole show.Celine showing that class is permanent
Memorable performances by a singer who is almost a consensus around the world.Celine showing that class is permanent
Trump will make it the bestest ozempic games in history. It will be huuuuge.
You mean Kamala. By then, Trump will be in prison!
ShockingTwitter is not happy
Lovely take!I thought that was brilliant. Wonderful idea to use Paris itself rather just a stadium. It opened the whole thing up and it felt bigger and more expansive. Technology wise, that's a very, very challenging thing to do, so props to them for giving that a go and pulling it off.
I personally loved the ceremony and the experience. It's memorable, it's different, and it's not going to please everyone. But, that's France. I hope it's a good and memorable Olympics for all of the right reasons.
Loved it too. There’s usually so much pessimism surrounding these major events, particularly in our media, but there’s also so much magic if you choose to see it.I thought that was brilliant.

The rain was against them, terror threats, sunset is at 10 pm, it’s a new idea (and therefore they would look fools if it doesn’t work well enough), and so on.Loved it too.

Incredible city and they managed to include so much of it in that ceremony. Hats off to everyone involved, and to all the Olympians who’ve made it to Paris. We really can do wonderful things.
Whoa. This picture makes me feel the uncontrollable urge to take to the streets and go behead kings and nobles
Twitter has a point. The way people can make fun of Christianity and its business as usual is shocking. No other religion can be disrespected like that without a serious uproar. Weird part is that they are the most tolerant group of all religious groups. Maybe that’s their downfall.Twitter is not happy about them recreating the Last Supper with some transgender people in it.
Can any of them prove none of Jesus or the disciples were trans though? They all had long hair and the same people giving out - always depict them as white, so they must’ve been wearing loads of makeup.
The pair who finally got to light the thing (the highest honor) are both black, so there's that.I liked it, had it in background all night and I thought it was interesting, balloon looked great.
Saying that, they are representing equality, and they had something like 50 people carrying a torch, and just one or two were black? How is that representing equality in France, when most of their athletes are black?

I don't know the background of all the athletes pictured but the final torch squad looked more diverse than that.I liked it, had it in background all night and I thought it was interesting, balloon looked great.

US remit isn't to compete with Paris 24, but with Beijing 08.This was by far the best opening ceremony. Los Angeles 2028 will have a hard time beating this! Can Hollywood produce something equally spectacular?

I really liked that they showed a bit of spirit and weren't shy about reminding the world that they basically invented transgressive art.
Plenty of conservatives losing their shit over this show. job well done.
