Pacing Verdict
The screenplay maintains strong narrative momentum, efficiently balancing high-energy action sequences with character-driven dialogue that never overstays its welcome. The three-act structure is well-served by clear escalation: Act 1 establishes stakes and Hela's threat with brisk pacing, Act 2 on Sakaar provides necessary breathing room for character development without losing forward drive, and Act 3 delivers a satisfyingly relentless climax. Minor rhythm issues arise from the Doctor Strange detour feeling slightly tangential and a few exposition-heavy exchanges in the second act, but overall the screenplay manages tension and release expertly.
