What a strange take.

The city is currently in lockdown. The show was distanced. It wasn't cheap.

It was so depressing.

I’m just glad that the shirtless flag bearer from Tonga is back

It was a boring opening ceremony. It seemed very sparse. The space was so big, and the number of performers was so small. I didn’t expect a ceremony as large as China or London, but geez, it’s like they didn’t even try. I’ll admit the drones were awesome.

“Imagine” was a terrible song to feature.

I watched it on demand on Peacock, NBC’s streaming service. It cost $5/month but I’ll cancel it after the Olympics is over.


And I think you have more Olympic events to,watch, not just what is televised on TV.

Agreed it was very spare. Honestly, I feel somewhat bad for Japan as the host country. I’m sure they were planning on putting on quite a show pre-COVID. Not to mention the influx of international athletes, trainers, and TV personnel during a global pandemic…

We watched it. It was very spare. Also parts were hard to see, in the lighting.

The Parade of Nations was good, even without spectators.

One of the most boring and depressing openings ever! And I had high hopes it would be great.
