#AmITheAsshole for insisting we skip/fast forward through the credits?
Basically, my brother-in-law and I got into a dispute earlier this evening. The short version is I insisted we fast forward through the credits, but he and my wife insisted we just let them roll and watch the scene at the end. I insisted that we could just fast forward, because we're not in a theater. Furthermore, I made the point that I hate sitting through 10 minutes of credits to watch 30 seconds of extra movie that doesn't contribute anything to anything. IE, if it were important, they wouldn't make you wait till the end of the credits to watch it.
One thing led to another, and my brother-in-law started telling me all about how my father-in-law would sit through the credits all the time and read every single name because it meant something to him, and then maybe I should stop being such a prick about it. Okay, those weren't his EXACT words, but it definitely had that kind of tone to it all the same.
So yeah, am I an asshole?
I guess, at best, I came from a different generation. The credits hit, and everybody leaves. That's just how movies worked when I was younger. But not anymore. Thanks a lot, marvel. đ
