Its because it felt dragged out, not important to some viewers ( like myself ) and therefore it felt too long. Maybe switch it up with having it be revealed in parts or something instead of what they did.
But i get both opinions, as a fate fan i was on the other side of the fence for a while :')
Yeah, I agree that the backstory felt force fed at once in the end. It’s a feeling I’ve had with all the final arc overall, there’s a lot of flashbacks and explanations with very little prior foreshadowing. Idk if it’s true but it feels like a lot of the final arc’s enemies’ backstory and their link to the main characters was either retconned or written right there. It’s a pity, is we were given some sort of foreshadowing for several of these “revelations” they would have felt more impactful.
I think a lot of them will become relevant in the future, with nr 1 and all that ( to try and stay spoiler free ).
I didnt read the manga though.
However, you are dead on the money with how it feels.
I did try to stay spoiler free in my opinion piece above, but I have read the manga.
Spoilers for the movie: all the context on the second moon about killing Miss Bug’s sister was said in the movie for the first time, there were zero foreshadowing both in the manga and anime. (Well, anime did have some foreshadowing in the filler arc. In fact all the foreshadowing for most of the stuff exists in the filler anime arc that didn’t exist in the manga, so I guess the author also recognised it and tried to fix it somehow.)

And dont get me wrong, movie was good overall!
