Eggers agrees with you, and was willing to give up final cut to get it.

Robert Eggers posted:

Well, OK. I knew when I gave the script to the studio that I was not going to have final cut on this movie. And that was a risk I was willing to take. The studio took a big risk on letting somebody made two sensationalist arthouse movies to make a big loving Viking movie single-camera with all of his heads of departments. Frankly, our resumes did not warrant us making this movie, and they let us do it, which is amazing. I promised them the most entertaining Robert Eggers movie I could make.

......

I’m not saying this is a perfect movie, but at least I can say I stand behind my choices, because I had to consider all of them so carefully.

From this interview, which has some really interesting information on the process.

I saw it a matinee. Absolutely loved it. It had the occasional Dark Soulsian vibe that I was not expecting, but in retrospect seems kinda obvious. In a way it also has that feeling of Apocalypto, you're just on a roller coaster. There are peaks and valleys, but it's not stopping.
