Gemnist 2.0 wrote: those movies have several noticeable problems; for example, TFA and Doctor Strange having really bad editing/pacing that makes them feel like they are better suited for multiple movies at once. I hope this isn't the case, but we of course will have to see. I've never thought of those movies having said issues, and I've not seen many other people bring that up. And I've seen both movies multiple times, especially 'Doctor Strange', which I thought the story it was telling was fitting for just one movie (with other stuff like Dormammu and making Mordo a villain being used for later movies). And with 'Captain Marvel', in my opinion I didn't think it was cramming lots of stuff into one. There are several things established in it that I can see being explored in the future.

I was basically just making it clear that though I have pointed out that the movie is getting relatively subpar reviews TWICE in this forum, I'm not one of THOSE people. Sorry if it came off as inflammatory.

I should probably elaborate on the TFA and Doctor Strange problems. The way TFA is constructed, personally almost feels like two separate movies, separated by the montage where Cap has actually become Cap (just before the train sequence). I haven't heard many people complain about this, but for me it does feel like a lazy attempt to show the passage of time.

As for Doctor Strange, Strange's training period takes place over several months, but there are no indicators to the passage of time, so it makes the events feel as if they are happening over just a few days, and then leaps straight into the New York sequence leading towards the end without any warning. I've heard this complaint a lot more often, and that (coupled with its Phase 1 feel) is why it's often considered one of the weaker Phase 3 movies from an aggregate standpoint.
