I'm so tired of people trying to defend three hour movies when people complain. Listen, sure, stories are different, and should take different lengths to be told.
My problem is that all stories now have to be told in three hours. All of them. This is the new industry standard, everything is three hours long. You go to the cinema and sit for three hours in a dark room to watch a movie. Go home and binge a three hours long season of a tv show.
I'm tired of it. If you want to tell a wee little fun horror story in 80min, no can do sweetheart, studios now only want big movies, better make it 3h.
Want to make a 10 ep long TV show with one hour long episodes? No you don't, make it 6 eps long and only half an hour an episode.
Want to make a fun serial that runs weekly for months, you better forget it.
I'm tired of the three hour long industry standard.
