> At least in the 90's, most movies were around 90 minutes. Nowadays, if it's less than 2.5 hours, it's a minor miracle.

I didn't even notice this inflation in movie length until I went back to try to watch older 90 minute movies. They feel short now, almost unfulfilling. Gladiator (2000) at 2h35m feels like the right pace.

I think after Game of Thrones (ex the last 2 seasons), I'm used to more drawn out scenes and development

I think it has more to do with directors not planning effectively for runtime and no longer being constrained by the cost of shooting on film.
