Todays episode of Ms Marvel made me realise something that I have been thinking about for a while and that is the length of their seasons. This is as most Disney Plus seasons have 6 episodes that are all around 35-55 minutes. The problem with this is is that it feels like they aren’t giving themselves enough time do do everything they want to do.
For example in Ms Marvel they have spent 2 episodes now focusing on the past and the origin of the bracelet with very little action and instead it has been just a lot explaining. This wouldn’t be as bad if it wasn’t nearly half of the series but as there is only 6 episodes it slows down the show too much.
I had the same problem with Obi Wan where everything seemed to become slow in the middle of these season and then it wraps up very quickly at the end.
Stranger Things 4 shows how longer seasons and episodes benefit a story and that can in fact benefit the show. Disney Plus should follow in their footsteps as with more time to breathe these shows can be the best of the best and will in turn help the streaming service overall.
