Didnt mean an hour, but you could easily trim 20 from it though.

And yet Marvel seemed fine putting out multiple 2.5hr movies a year, mainly because they're such a cultural force that the larger theater count is assumed.
The 53 Best Movies Under 90 Minutes
Sometimes you just want a good story, capably told with no time to waste.
There are MCU and DCEU films shorter than 2 hours, and Birds Of Prey is better than many of the ~2:30 hour films. Then there are shorter comic book films that are great like Dredd, The Crow, Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker (74min!), Batman: Mask Of Phantasm (76min!) and more. Then there are non-MCU flicks like Spiderverse, X-Men and Deadpool. 90 minutes can be perfect for comedy, action, horror, thrillers, or even dramas (Ingmar Bergman), the script just have to be leaner and more focused, on the core theme and there will be less plot threads. Considering the unanimous criticism for the film was about the tone and mismatch with the themes, I think it would have helped to focus more on less stuff. Not every MCU film has to have several plotlines, cameos, crossovers, otherwise you end up with sequel bait and half-baked endings or things not feeling complete. I would assume filmmakers would like to make shorter, leaner, and even standalone films. Multiverse Of Madness could easily have been just about Wanda and Strange, and just be straight horror.
Never had a problem with the final act. Its the middle Falcone plot that drags.
This. A few scenes of him killing gods would've been great.
Oh, I do hear this but then that was important for the development of Selena.
Yes? What kind of question is that? I'm aware previous decades had their Apocalypse Nows, Lawrence of Arabias, Godfathers, Spartacus, etc., that doesn't mean most movies should be above 2 hours.

I never said you believed films under 2 hours are bad. But you never explained why 90min would be too short or ridiculous for superhero films, and I was making the case for why it could be fine.
I know what you mean, I adore slow burns, (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a great example of everything happening in slow motion) but they have to move the plot forwards too. The Falcone riddle grinded the movie to a halt and it should have focused more on The Riddler or the Waynes imo.
