Although the reality is that Thor: Ragnarok also boasted a rather short runtime, and the push to shorten the length of the project seems to be more of a Taika Waititi quality, many fans feared how he would be able to tell such important and emotional stories with a clock as small as that.
The film that we all received is one that does make the best of its shorter time, but isn’t free from the pitfalls of its rapid pace; a lot of it feels like there just isnt enough time to sit and spend with these fantastic characters.

The veteran actress added, “It’s just amazing how much great material is not in the film, considering how much great material is in it. Usually, it’s like, you’re just trying to get enough good stuff to put in the film, and this had overflowed. So that was really surprising.”
Gorr himself, Chrisitan Bale, said much of the same during various press interviews; and it seems as though there were a lot of scenes that actors felt were good enough to make the final product, but didn’t.
