I don't know if it was underestimated demand or deliberate scarcity but good luck getting an order in for the 'Loki' or 'Wandavision' Steelbooks.

My kingdom for a single reference to Coulson surviving.

I'm still sad that Loki didn't slip in a reference when Mobius reviewed Loki's history with a comment like "He got better."
Visual effects workers at Disney are unionizing! Not a moment too soon.
“Today, courageous Visual Effects workers at Walt Disney Pictures overcame the fear and silence that have kept our community from having a voice on the job for decades. With an overwhelming supermajority of these crews demanding an end to ‘the way VFX has always been,’ this is a clear sign that our campaign is not about one studio or corporation. It’s about VFX workers across the industry using the tools at our disposal to uplift ourselves and forge a better path forward,” IATSE VFX organizer Mark Patch said in a statement.
“The determination of these VFX workers is not just commendable, it’s groundbreaking. Their collective action against the status quo represents a seismic shift in this critical moment in our industry. The chorus of voices demanding change is unprecedented, and demonstrates our united movement is not about any one company, but about setting a precedent of dignity, respect, and fairness for all,” International President of IATSE Matthew D. Loeb said.

"The Marvels" will be the shortest MCU movie to date. Run time reportedly clocking in at 1 hour 33 minutes (without credits)

That seems unfortunate for a movie that needs to showcase three distinct heroes. It seems like giving them short shrift, semi-literally.
We'll see. I'm hoping for tight storytelling.
Either way, silly me, I'll wait until I've seen the film to judge.

So in situations like this, are unions seen as a good thing?
I admit my experience with unions is not that great. When I was working at Wal-Mart, we were warned if if it got back to management we had even said the word union, we would be fired instantly. Then when I was working at Fry's they were unionized and that meant they were forced to give me the late night closing shift, no matter how desperate I was to not work so late.
I just hope it warrants being a theatrical level movie instead of a glorified extended episode of "Ms. Marvel"
I'm seeing other rumors saying 1 hr 47m, which would still be the shortest MCU film but not as dramatically so.
So apparently I'm supposed to be angry/confused/upset because a movie is going to be a normal length for a movie, but I'm just not feeling it to be honest.
Everything doesn't need to be three hours long.

Suggests a jaunty pace. Excellent.
12 Angry Men (et al) did alright with similar run times
Aye.
So 11 minutes of credits? Sounds legit. Will still be a nice, jaunty pace.
By all accounts it's a fun romp with no big connection to the ongoing story, so need to drag on.
I'm imagining we'll get a quick recap from Kamila to bring people who didn't watch the Disney+ shows up to speed and then away we go.
