The pacing got much faster over time. Comparing LotR with a new MCU film, you clearly notice the shift. (Admittedly, LotR was a little slower than the average movie at the time)
That’s not a valid comparison, lotr was waaaay slower and longer than movies of its time. If you want to compare against a modern mcu movie then you have to compare to a similar type of movie, like for example even years before lotr look at men in black from 1997
its the buildup of the story, its so much better that way. MCU is just cocaine for a quick fix, hence why its just garbage these days, other than having to push out that much garbage to fund thier streaming service.
You’re comparing episodic spectacle movies whose source is also episodic and based on visual spectacle to a set of multi book arced epic adventure movies that are all need to be viewed to complete the story.
LOTR is MEANT to be slower, that’s one of the things that makes the books so good as well!! They take their time. I’m also weird though; one of my favorite movies is 2001: A Space Odyssey.
