the wilhelm scream. FUCK the wilhelm scream
I just think of it like a funny little easter egg tbh.
Which is totally fine in a movie where little callbacks and winks to the audience make sense--like Tarantino flicks or cheesy slashers. Where it gets annoying is when it's plopped into something like a serious historical drama or atmospheric sci fi. In so many cases it's just jarring and snaps you out of the movie world for awhile
My good thank you so much, I FINALLY found that super annoying cheesy scream that sticks out like a sore thumb! I noticed it all the time and wondered why it is used so much. It ruins a good atmosphere by making me either frustrated or chuckle depending on the situation haha.
I almost walked out of Love and Thunder because of this. It's so fucking obnoxious.
It's tradition.
