12 MCU Mistakes Thor: Ragnarok Must Avoid
10. An Excessive Runtime
As the MCU has become increasingly successful, the scope of the individual films has grown considerably, resulting in movies with decidedly longer run-times.
Captain America: Civil War, for instance, is the longest MCU movie to date at a staggering 147 minutes, and the majority of the franchise's films clock in at between 130-140 minutes, with barely any daring to linger around the two-hour mark.
Do the movies really need to be that long? In a time where some audiences are experiencing fatigue with both blockbuster and Marvel formula, shouldn't less be more?
Will It Be Avoided?: Thankfully, Taika Waititi promised back in July that Ragnarok will be around the 100-minute mark, and even if that doesn't include credits, that means a likely final length of around 110-115 minutes.
Very reasonable by MCU standards, then, and hopefully an indication that the typical superhero bloat has been streamlined for maximum energy and entertainment value.
