Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.
Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

But you're adapting an existing story which already has a beginning, middle and end. It's much easier to split this up into two than 6+ if you want to keep to the original story. It's different when you're creating a new story from scratch specifically for the format, which is not the case here.
It's more difficult because there are more opportunities to fail, and you have to get more things right. You can't just focus on each episode, you also have to make the whole thing together a good experience. Doing so for two movies is much easier than 6+ episodes.
It boils down to a simple truth: making something smaller good is easier than making something bigger good. A movie is bigger than an episode, but it's smaller than a series.
