We’ll go ahead and admit that three hours might be a little better than the seven-hour climate change town hall marathon CNN has scheduled for next week, but NBC News’ Alex Seitz-Wald tried to put it all into perspective:

For everyone complaining about a 3 hour debate…if you can sit through a comic book movie, you can handle this. pic.twitter.com/f0izRzO3Dr

Well, that’s one way to look at it.

“if you can sit through something you enjoy, you can sit through something you won’t enjoy."

Except Avengers End Game actually had interesting characters you wanted cheer for. https://t.co/qNJ0LtmH2o

Maybe a three-hour root canal would be a more fitting analogy to the next Dem debate than a comic book movie.

I would absolutely watch a 3-hour
Democratic debate if it involved the candidates going after each other with lasers and magic hammers. Unfortunately, that does not appear to be the direction the DNC has taken. https://t.co/7ck9DaYyTA

Comic book movies are fun and interesting.
