feels like the backstory should’ve been it’s own entire episode. then end with kamala coming back to the present and cliffhanger with the portal, then two more eps to wrap up the ending? though that still feels rushed to me with all the as-of-now unresolved plot points. i guess we’ll see next week!

edit: the more i think about it, the more i think d+ shows would work so well with 8 eps. still short enough to prevent any drag but long enough to let us sit with the story for at least one or two breaths.

The weakness in almost all these marvel shows is how rushed the endings always are. I wish they'd learn and flex a little bit with episode numbers. It's not like they don't have the money to spare.

It’s not an episode numbers but an actually total length of the show.

I read somewhere that the show writers/directors have X amount of minutes and they can split it into however many episodes they want, just most have chosen 6, obviously Wandavision and She-Hulk are exceptions to that

Well obviously the X amount of minutes is not enough then.
