He's A Good Man
i'm learning to deal with it but that was a big reason i turned off the one Thor movie i tried to watch a few years ago..it was so many jokes thrown at you. i can deal with comedy on something like Spiderman tho because he's supposed to be kind of lame.
With the movies being pg13 I don’t think they care. James Gunn is the worst offender for me because you can tell he think them poop jokes and shyt are fire. Guardians 2 was mad corny because of those mid ass jokes. That whole taser face thing.
Nope.

There's some characters in the MCU where the comedy is great but there's a couple times where it fell flat or almost ruined a scene..
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 - The movie was funny and the characters are all great but the dance off at the end was just too much.. i felt at that point you have to have the villain be a threat not an afterthought. James Gunn has gotten a lot better with how to time the comedy and add drama to the script.
- Age of Ultron - Joss Whedon's style of comedy is just made for TV bullshyt. All the banter felt very Buffy... you don't want a huge Avengers movie having a Buffy script
- Civil War - Great movie all around and the Russos are the best MCU directors for sure but the airport scene had too much levity. Most of the movie is pretty serious and has adult themes so why was that needed. The action of the scene was top notch but the comedy was so out of place.

Too much trying to I think adlib humor and from characters who shouldn't be trying to be jokesters. I didn't like that Thor turned into a goofball.

To me, my board!
For you, maybe. Y’all gotta realize these movies don’t cater to one specific audience.

It’s comic book movies breh. They’re not supposed to be Citizen Kane
I let go when I realized Lois Lane is in a intimate relationship with a alien (Superman)

yeah it works for films like Thor: Ragnarok where you can tell it's designed to be very much a comedy
but in the more serious marvel films like Black Panther or Infinity War it comes off as jarring

It’s made for children and low iq adults. If you ask any child what you like better Spider-Man no way home or THe Batman 90% of them will say Spider-Man the Batman was boring . I’m not saying your low iq for enjoying it for what it is. I saw it too and had fun but if your like my favorite movie of all time is infinity war your probably low iq brehs.
If you liked it or not is personal taste, but it fits the film & character perfectly. It's Quill using his music/connection with Earth to do something completely unexpected/confusing/alien to Ronan to distract as Rocket fixes the weapon. It's him using his uniqueness as a Terran to literally have his humanity save the day. It's also a payoff to the Kevin Bacon/Footloose reference as Ronan would fit the bill of someone having a stick up his butt and Quill being the Kevin Bacon/hero in the moment to save the day by dancing.
I'd argue the humor is completely in place there b/c it's two sides that don't really want to fight each other but are forced in that position for various reasons (loyalty, revenge, recruited in, playing both sides, etc...). So the interactions are understandably awkward and most the humor is from that dynamic. It also holds as a contrast to the fight at the end of the film where they're legitimately trying to hurt each other and there's no jokes to be had.
I'd say where the humor gets overdone is when they try to get too quippy/ad-lib frenzy like the Iron Man sequels or Ant Man 2 (1 has a much tighter script & dialogue while still being jokey).
