Eh, to an extent you're right but the math has a crack in the base.

See, the fights might be longer, at times, than what we've gotten before in V1-3 (emphasis on "might" since the only one that I think was actually longer than usual was the Nuck fight)....

...But how often do we get fights, period?

Let's say, hypothetically, that in Volume X fights are on average 3 minutes long, and in Volume Y they are 4:30 minutes long. Y has longer fights. But Volume X has fights on practically every episode, with a total number of fights of over 10, while Y doesn't have fights every episode and it's total number of fights is 7.

So even if Y has longer fights, the actual amount of action it delivers to the audience is much smaller.
