I certainly didn't think that it felt "long" at all. If anything, I didn't want it to end. But that might be due to the reality that this is the end of a Marvel "phase"... and some actors are moving on. In other words: things won't be the same after this... and it's hard to see how the future could be anything other than a "new beginning". I suppose that's why I didn't want it to end; Marvel did a good job of getting me to care about (most of) these characters. Some will keep going... others are done. It's like saying goodbye: it's hard... and sometimes you just don't want that last hug to end.
