Marvel's Editing Is the Cruelest Cut of All | The Backdrop

If you’re even casually familiar with film or television, you’re familiar with the phrase “saved in the edit.” Editing is something of an invisible artform, and it’s rarely given the attention or credit that it deserves.

It is so good to see a technical analysis of what made these two projects fail to hit their mark rather than predictable (and often misguided/exaggerated) criticism you get for lack luster MCU releases. You actually made me realise why these were so distinctly uncomfortable to watch, even though I didn't actually dislike them overall. I think I was feeling the better story buried in both of them that was lost in post-production.

Damn this was interesting. I’ve largely checked out of the MCU but it was nice to see why it’s actually gone downhill instead of endless cries of “woke”. I will say that sometimes films are getting longer over a series. John Wick 4 was the first time I thought one of the films was too long, No Time to Die and Spectre felt so much longer than the other Craig Bonds and although I’m happy that Dune and Dune 2 have the confidence and time to be a long and epic story, it’s not a trend I’m necessarily liking in some of my other fare.
