What is it like to watch 22 Marvel movies in a row? Even Thanos can't stand it

Recently, AMC Cinemas in the United States held a "Marvel Movie Marathon" event, showing 22 movies from "Iron Man 1" to "Avengers 4" for 59 hours. Brian VanHooker, a reporter from Melmagazine, also participated in the event and insisted on staying up all the time. From the photos he posted, he went from being full of energy at the beginning to being exhausted, and at one point he had difficulty recognizing. In the theater, other participants slept on the floor.

Before watching, I was full of energy

After watching it, I felt bored and even nauseous.

The theater was in a mess

After the event, Brian VanHooker said in the article: "I won't discuss "Avengers 4" here, but as far as the entire Marvel marathon experience is concerned, I will say that my greatest fears and highest expectations were not realized. Due to the super ventilation effect in the AMC theater, I couldn't smell any strange smells and didn't have any hallucinations. When I left, I did see a man who painted himself purple like Thanos, but I'm pretty sure he was a real 'person'. On the other hand, I would say that depriving yourself of three days of sleep is not the best way to make up for the movie ticket, because your feeling of near-disorientation will hardly allow you to have a clear, open mind.

Another thing is that the whole experience put my entire body into surrender mode. I was so exhausted and disoriented that it was hard to read, let alone write. The symptoms kicked in on my way home, and my body finally waved the white flag as I struggled to get into a rest stop in New Jersey, where I gave in and started throwing up.
