It blew the roof off of Hall H.
The footage was delightful and scrappy and inventive, a welcome antidote to the bloated trajectory of superhero movies that decade, like the overstuffed bombast of Sony’s “Spider-Man 3,” which had debuted two months earlier, or 20th Century Fox’s buffoonish “X-Men: The Last Stand” from the previous summer. It felt like the kind of cultural shift that can happen when audiences en masse seize on something that feels thrillingly new.

Selome Hailu When I met Angus Cloud last summer, he was still adjusting to his life as the 24-year-old fan favorite of HBO’s then-second-biggest series of all time after “Game of Thrones.” Moving so quickly from being a waiter to starring in “Euphoria” would have driven anyone else to madness, trying to devise fervent strategies for making it all last. But on the day I grabbed dessert with him, all Cloud wanted was to buy the baseball cap worn by the ice cream parlor employees. Getting to know Cloud, who died on Monday at age 25, was the funniest, strangest experience of my career.
