Moving into Phase 4 Proud Tofu Eating Guardian Reading Wokerati shirt . MCU fans have become enamored with the runtimes of the latest outings across both theaters and Disney+. Both Thor: Love and Thunder and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness were bombarded with backlash for only clocking in close to the two-hour mark, while Disney+ viewers continue to call for full hour-long episodes. Generally, most of the MCU’s Disney+ episodes have clocked in between 40 and 50 minutes, but there have been exceptions.

Doctor Strange 2 and Thor 4 arguably needed more time to explore their stories and characters in proper depth, and several of the Disney+ series have suffered from rushed endings.

Creatives should be free to stretch or condense their tales as they see fit, instead of being forced to drag out stories to match this mythical gold standard invented by the fandom, as that leads to other pacing issues. Who knows whether this problem will ever fade away in the fandom, but Marvel Studios’ announcement of an 18-episode first season for Daredevil: Born Again suggests they are aware of the problem. Perhaps that may lead to more shows playing around with longer seasons down the line, as opposed to longer episodes. The first two episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law are streaming now, exclusively on Disney+.
