For people older and more experienced, it's harder to grasp why people don't HELP EACH OTHER. That used to be a normal thing to do, so when they see a scene where someone is slowly being eaten, or dragged away, or whatever, and someone is just standing there, filming every gory detail, it's hard not to shout in frustration, "Put down the camera you idiot, and clobber that thing over the head!"

Yes! Exactly. (well said Never).

People act as if narcissism, self-indulgence, and selfishness didn't exist in the perfect generation that they grew up in. And are you fucking kidding me? I laughed so hard when he said that people don't help each other anymore. It's not just old people who think that they should put down the camera; it's almost every age that watches that sort of movie.

I have nieces & nephews your age. They would lose their suspension of disbelief when seeing a character keep videotaping instead of helping a loved one. I think it's a valid criticism of a FF movie. Unless the character was revealed as having serious moral deficiencies. Characters acting illogical -within it's own reality- really wrecks the SOD for me.
