How come Netflix and Amazon originals are so awful outside of animation ones? Pointless dialogues, dozens of characters, dragging on for hours and hours on end.

Another thing we're not considering here is episode count
Netflixs marvel shows have something like 13 episodes per season
So I ask you which is potentially wasting more of my time, 23 x 44minutes or 13x 60 minute episodes
Honestly if you're into the thing you wouldn't even think about this but its still sort of interesting.
I've honestly wished The Flash had less episodes because they clearly can't keep the momentum up for 23 episodes every time.

13x60 obviously, but unlike Netflix, they don't dump them all at once. Weak consolation, but still something

1. The problem of not sticking to 44" slot goes FAR beyond capesh*t shows, it's just that they are perfect examples of why, in most cases, padding out makes the show boring.
2. I get paid to translate stuff, and not always can choose what to translate. so sometimes. I get to do superhero shows

I feel like Netflix 10x60 and 13x60 offer much tighter plots than TheCW Arrowverse 23x44. Usually by mid-season Arrowverse they've completely ran out of steam for the season and are just kind of whimpering towards the season finale. While the Netflix Marvel shows seem to stay steady for the entire season (aside from LC S1). So yeah I've had that complaint as well EssentricOne, where I've voiced that I've felt the Arrowverse should condense their seasons into shorter runs or split seasons into two separate story arcs like Once Upon a Time did often.
I have no problem with the hour long run time per episode.
Hell shows like Sons of Anarchy and Mayans M.C. often have 60-80 minute run-time episodes not counting the commercials cause Sutter likes to often fill 1hr30min and 2hr time-slots, but those episodes often due seem to be dragged out at times just for the sake of dragging it out.
