Yah, they all look like they can’t wait to leave.
MasterTolkien2025-10-26 21:38
Which is pretty rare in my experience. Stars doing these shoots sometimes get “tired smiles” because they are posing for sooooo many pics. But the celebs still smile even when people say cringey stuff or chatter a little too long about how much they love them.
But damn, OP, you and your friend paid for pics that your friend ruined with a poor joke? And then you posted these pics up? Yikes.
Guzod2025-10-26 21:56
I wouldn’t call it ruined. This is gold
WeirdIndividualGuy2025-10-27 03:31
And OP has not responded further on the topic. They’ve just now realized how cringe the joke was in hindsight
Adrien_Jabroni2025-10-26 23:30
Maybe because their arms are awkwardly going under hers to reach her back. It looks crazy uncomfortable Let them touch you for the photo if they want. Touching them feels out of bounds imo. I can’t imagine how even daring to frankly.
superbungalow2025-10-27 01:59
I assume she put her arms up over their arms first, I can't imagine any other way that pose is achieved, if they initiated the hug surely their arms would be over the top?

That is correct.

So does Elizabeth Olsen. I think they don’t like that weird arm linking.
Bruhimonlyeleven2025-10-27 13:36
Rofl about to say the same thing.
It must suck being just famous enough that people recognise you, but you don't have any money.
British celebrities have it so much better. People don't bug them as much, they live in Modest homes, and you'll see them at grocery stores, and pubs, etc.. all over England.
They don't make nearly as much money either.
XingXiaoRen2025-10-26 21:06
I know they charge for photos but what other incentives do they have to be there? Is the convention paying them as well?
ClownsAteMyBaby2025-10-26 21:28
Yes. They are paid a fee and also get the majority of the price people pay. The venue takes a cut.

I think it must be pretty socially draining having to stand there for a long time meeting random people who you don't know, but apparently know everything about you and your MCU roles.
Does not surprise me that they might eventually struggle to put on the happy faces.
Plus, OP said in another comment that their friend said a bad joke, which probably doesn't help.
schubox632025-10-26 21:58
I don’t really disagree, but I looked it up and it $200 for a photo with Olsen. Looks like Gregg is $70. If I’m paying that much pretend you’re happy
omicron7e2025-10-26 22:18
First, why would you ever pay that? Second, if they’re going to charge you for a photo, then I agree they need to put more effort into it. I can’t imagine they’re contractually obligated to do these things.
kbean8262025-10-26 22:59
Imagine you’re meeting 500 people at a work event. Your job is to stand there and engage with 500 random strangers who feel like they know you and are entitled to your time and energy. And then one of them is a fucking weirdo. Not saying OP was, but he admits his friend told an awful joke and won’t say what it was, so I’m extrapolating. But he paid to take a photo with you. So. There you are. I know I’d look displeased if I felt like it. I’ve been to many of these conventions. The social awareness is 0 and entitlement is high. I give these humans some grace in these moments.
HyruleBalverine2025-10-27 00:11
Imagine charging $200 to take a photo with somebody and getting upset that they expect you to smile for that $200 - when you literally pretend to be things for a living.
thatdudewillyd2025-10-26 22:31
Especially their literal job is a professional pretender and they can’t even muster a smile lmao. Tough cashing those paychecks
jamesbondswanson2025-10-27 02:21
ITS ALL ON OP. I’ve done these photos ops many times and it’s all about the energy ***YOU*** bring to the photo session! Dress nicely, have a big smile, don’t say anything weird except “it’s so nice to meet you how are you today!”. Every photo I’ve ever had is full of big smiles from everyone. OP and or his friend definitely said something and bright bad energy.
Valentinee1052025-10-27 02:24
I feel like it's because they're touching the actors which is usually a no no in fan photos.

Imagine you had the opportunity to do something nice for your friend that he would absolutely love and would NEVER do for himself. Would you take that opportunity? I would and did. If you have a negative opinion about it, that's your right, but it's my right to tell you my opinion: you don't know why people do things if you don't ask. Wait, that's not even an opinion.
I love my people and will go out of my way to make their lives better if I can.

One of you must’ve done something that made at least two of them really uncomfortable or annoyed. Olsen looks really uncomfortable.
Valentinee1052025-10-27 02:24
Ya, they're touching her.
Most fan pictures don't have the fans touching the actors at all. Because they're doing a fan shoot it puts the actors in an awkward situation where they can't say no, and then they also put their hands on the fans too because of reflex or to relieve some of that awkwardness.
badhombre132025-10-27 05:25
>Most fan pictures don't have the fans touching the actors at all.
Every single picture I've seen of fans with celebs there's always some form of *appropriate* touching going on; hugs, handshakes, fist bumps, you name it. There are also celebs that go way overboard with this stuff, like Momoa who is famous for giving hugs and lifting people in their pics.
OP confirmed it was due to a bad joke by his friend, and it's also why Glen looks like he wants to gtfo.
Valentinee1052025-10-27 05:29
That's why Elizabeth olsen looks like she's been kidnapped?
GigaFluxx2025-10-27 07:22
She was though. These were taken in OP’s basement.
Busy-Rip23722025-10-27 05:51
You're allowed to touch actors. I do photo ops all the time if the actor does not want it, the people running the photo ops will tell you that.
Valentinee1052025-10-27 05:52
Well then this is a photo of Elisabeth Olsen being held hostage and no one is doing anything about it.
jamesbondswanson2025-10-27 02:24
Yup. I’ve had many of these photo sessions and the stars always are hyped and excited even after a long day. It’s all about be bringing a good energy to the session. Dress nicely and wear good cologne. Say something like: “It’s so nice to meet you how is your day going?”. They are always happy when someone asks about how they are doing because they are used to sweaty rude nerds. OPs said his friend made a shitty joke and that would bring the bad energy to effect the photo session. EDIT: OP has described the joke and it was innocent and they said it was just bad photo timing. My points still stand though. Take my advice if you want to guarantee a perfect photo sesh.

I’ve met Clark a few times IRL and he’s always been the nicest guy alive in the times I’ve been around him…obviously not exactly shining through in this photo, but just to clear the man’s name haha
sentient_luggage2025-10-26 22:00
Okay, since so many of you want to know: the joke was not off color. It was a callback to a joke Gregg kept making at the panel the day before, regarding him not remembering being in San Antonio before. My pal said, "welcome back to San Antonio." That's all. I don't know that he even acknowledged the joke. Gregg shook his hand, and was much more smiley in the solo pic (which happened afterward). I think this was bad timing on the photo, not actually the result of him being offended or upset. Both of us find it funny that he looks angry.
Olsen may have been slightly annoyed because they had us retake the picture. She was also more smiley in the first one, but they didn't let us keep it as my buddy blinked. Even said she liked my shirt! Who knows.
EDIT: we had already left our photo op with Elizabeth Olsen and had the picture in our hand before the photo guy said "BLINKER" and quite literally took the photo away from my friend before tossing us at a guy that guided us through multiple lines. These are people that have been waiting longer than we already had. He shuffled us THROUGH two sets of curtains, cut the line for us, and none of this was quiet. Neither of us knew what to do with our bags. They told us to throw them on the floor. It was WWEO. I've never felt so important in my life. I've never been so insignificant. Never cared less about retaking a photo and being made to RUN to retake a photo.
They basically threw us at Elizabeth Olsen. It was an ugly fx for a problem that didnt exist.I did what I had done a few minutes before when she complimented my shirt. She put her arm up, so did I. Looked better the first time around, but it was a bit of shell shock. END EDIT
Someone else mentioned tired smiles. We saw them all day long on and off. This was at the end of a long weekend. It happens.
EDIT TWO:
I didn't realize so many of you were in the room with all of us and knew exactly how things went down. I didn't realize y'all saw my picture with Carrie Anne Moss, or Mr Bettany. I am so happy that all of you know exactly what went into this picture.
I sure as hell don't.
What i do know is that none of y'all mentioned Chloe Bennett fixing her shirt and then thanking me for being patient before smushing against me while Clark Gregg groaned. It's been said before: goddamn, reddit loves a scandal.

Reddit will let you pin posts, but not comments. It would kinda defeat the purpose of updoots and obliviating a comment. Ultimately what I should do is edit the body of my post, but I don't care enough to do so. Apparently everyone was in the room and they're all appalled even though we did the exact same pose 4 minutes earlier and it was a great picture.
