Really? I thought TPM was the strongest of the prequels; AotC was by far the worst.
The original StarWars trilogy flipped this, too. In my mind Empire Strikes Back was literally the best of the originals.

My wife liked it better than Ragnarok. Nobody else in the family rated it better than "mediocre"
Man, I'm shocked people didn't like it It was one of my favorite Marvel movies. I was on the edge of my seat and/or laughing uproariously the whole time I'd say it proves I just don't have any taste, but you'd think that applies to anyone intentionally watching comic book movies..

> If you relieve immediately beforehand and can't hold it for 90 minutes, there is likely a medical issue (e.g. old man, or pregnant). Avengers Endgame is 3 hours and 1 minute long. Some of that is credits, and maybe you should be able to hold it for 3 hours anyway, but some people do have medical problems. They should still be allowed to enjoy movies.
> but some people do have medical problems. They should still be allowed to enjoy movies. I never understand statements like this. You're replying to someone who already mentioned the former statement, and didn't say anything about the latter.

#45The problem of going to the toilet all the time seems to be related to the bad habit of selling drinks by the bucket in theaters.

#46I forwent popcorn and soda for Avengers Endgame cause I didn't wanna get up to go to the bathroom. Just took tiny sips of water when my mouth got dry. Worked like a charm.
Unless your body is already quite dehydrated, this strategy will be hit-or-miss on it's own. Improvenent is possibe by combining the above with relieving yourself immediately before the performance begins. If you relieve immediately beforehand and can't hold it for 90 minutes, there is likely a medical issue (e.g. old man, pregnant, etc).
I suffer from what I've dubbed "Movie Bladder".
Being in a situation where it would be inconvenient to have to use the bathroom creates the urge, regardless of actual bladder fullness. As soon as the situation is resolved, the urge vanishes. It's all in my head.
Job interview? I'll hit the bathroom five minutes before it begins. As soon as I enter that Zoom call, the urge returns. As soon as we sign off, the urge goes away.
When I fly, I love the window seat, but have too much social anxiety to ask the people in the middle and aisle seats to let me out to use the bathroom. So naturally, as I get seated, the urge comes and remains the entire flight. As soon as we land, the urge is gone. Even after getting off the plane, I'll walk past the bathrooms, and not even the power of suggestion brings back the feeling of needing to urinate.
The urge isn't completely constant, and it's not overwhelming. After all, my bladder is anything but full, since I make it a habit to relieve myself as late as possible before entering the situation. It's still annoying to deal with though, since I know it's all in my head and is not an actual bladder issue.

#48Random but this app was founded by ex-NFL quarterback Carson Palmer's brother Jordan. Also still requires you to check your phone during a movie which should be immediate jail time across the board.
When I used this, that's how it worked for me.

#49Thor: Love and Thunder - Feel free to run and pee whenever you want.
Well, I mean, SOME people would, because SOME people get upset whenever a woman gets out of what they see as her lane, but the rest of us wouldn't.
(My top 5, today: Black Panther; Ragnarok; Winter Soldier; Iron Man; Endgame. But the only ones I'd rate below a B are Thor 2, Iron Man 2 & 3, and Eternals.)
