this nbc feed is so shit man

I feel like im looking at the same group doing photo bombs and selfies

 

[Acorn]

That thing is cool

 

[LuuKyK]

Holy shit

 

[Dai101]

it's


BEAUTIFUL ;-;

 

[Memento]

it's the guy who got bumped by a spectator near the finish line right?

Yes

ALSO HOLY SHIT THE TORCH

 

[Winterblink]

What. That's cool as shit

 

[Disxo]

WOW, ;_;

 

[kAmui-]

That looks really cool. Some futuristic shit right there.

 

[NSESN]

it's the guy who got bumped by a spectator near the finish line right?

Yes, i was crushed as a kid

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Is that their cd collection?
That's different i suppose.

 

[Kjellson]

I always felt bad for Vanderlei Lima after the 2004 Olympics. Fuck that nutjob cunt who attacked him.

 

[Tempy]

Need a gif of that Sun moving.

 

[Alebrije]

 

[Cheat Code]

It's a great contraption but is it really going to be active through the entire games.

Surely it'd just be distracting.

 

[eyeball_kid]

ok, that's pretty cool. That fire suspension doesn't look totally safe, but definitely a cool idea.

 

[SilentRacoon]

That looks mesmerizingly beautiful.

 

[Volimar]

Enough with the USA chants, sheesh.

 

[Dany]

Still at M ogmgg

 

[Chakan]

Pretty cool ending.

 

[mclem]

I like that the torch was "Oh. Oh? Ohhh!".


(But Caliban's Dream followed by Eclipse was a better musical introduction to it!)

 

[Fuu]

goddamn

 

[RobotHaus]

Is the NBC stream shitting itself for anyone else?

 

[thebeeks]

FUCK that's a cool sun thing.

 

[Bold One]

INCREDIBLE

that cauldron is ART

I could stare at it forever

 

[Tubie]

Damn that was cool.

 

[Tempy]

it's the guy who got bumped by a spectator near the finish line right?

Yes. By the same crazy Irish priest who walked on track during an F1 race:

 

[Slowdive]

That was cool.

 

[Oersted]

This slightly look it isn't Jesus head, but someone sitting on the torso. Its jarring lol

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

composer?

 

[LuuKyK]

This ending sequence is fucking amazing.

 

[Cheat Code]

That final blast genuinely looked like something went very badly.

 

[Acorn]

Those last fireworks damn.

 

[Chuck]

I could use a few more cuts to the USA team yelling usausausa at the camera.

 

[ldcommando]

Dem fireworks though

 

[Tubie]

The flame, the music and the fireworks, simply incredible.

 

[Ganzlinger]

Fantastic!

 

[Quasenada]

That torch is crazy O_O

 

[Pedrito]

The cauldron is pretty cool but seems minuscule. Maybe it's because the stadium is so big.

 

[Memento]

We got our terrorist attack at that last blast of fireworks hum?

 

[yanipheonu]

Yeah it's super pretty and intricate and all, but way to not make the cauldron a little Torch in Jesus the Redeemer's Hand lol

 

[Slowdive]

Wow those fireworks.

 

[SilentRacoon]

What a way to end the ceremony, Brazil passing to Japan some huge shoes to fill.

The way the stadium literally ignited on fire, I said goddamn.

 

[Disxo]

10/10
Now fuck

 

[Berna]

The cauldron is pretty cool but seems minuscule. Maybe it's because the stadium is so big.

From the Brazilian broadcast, it seems the flame will be transported to the city center instead of being kept in the Maracanã Stadium.

 

[Brazil]

The cauldron is pretty cool but seems minuscule. Maybe it's because the stadium is so big.

It's kind of the point, haha.

 

[The Last One]

I mean, WOW

 

[Dinokill]

NBC went to commercial when Niger came out.

 

[El-Suave]

Great ceremony, modest with superb fresh ideas. That's a good template for future ceremonies.

 

[mclem]

That whole thing felt short compared to London. Which isn't a criticism!

 

[Delio]

I could use a few more cuts to the USA team yelling usausausa at the camera.

Yeah do you REALLY need that many cuts? It's stupid.
