I think the Wilhelm scream is just annoying. It's an unnatural and goofy scream. I still appreciate it as a tradition though.

- tshaddox 4y agoI’m honestly surprised they get away with it, given that these days there must be a fairly large audience that‘s familiar with it (and thus anyone who screens the movie with authority to demand changes, like the director, might notice and want that audience reaction).
- tirpen 4y ago> there must be a fairly large audience that‘s familiar with it That's exactly why they "get away" with it. Most of the people who are familiar think it's funny. And it is.
- tshaddox 4y agoEven if it were funny, my point is that I would expect directors to be deliberate with when and where they put funny things in their movies.
- Findecanor 4y agoI think these days it is so recognisable that sound editors tend to put it in just as an easter-egg.
- whywhywhywhy 4y agoJust comes across completely hackish when I hear that in a movie now. Cringe for the poor editor being forced to put it in as the director is giggling away to themselves about it.
