You also seem to prefer how they used to make superhero films prior to 2010. Spider-Man 2 forced me to watch Spider-Man refuse to be Spider-man for most of the film. That's not fun. I paid to see webslinging and crime-fighting. Instead I got a scene where Peter Parker leaves a man being brutally beaten to his fate. I'm not really going to burn my copy of Batman Begins, but I am getting tired of people saying the MCU needs to follow its example. No, it doesn't. In fact, the MCU has consistently made more money than BB did by not being BB. I like superhero films prior to and after 2010. No preference really. That's how I felt with Iron Man 3 when Tony barely wore the suit. So in a way, I get what you're saying. BB isn't all that different from MCU movies in my opinion. I don't see it as too dark or too serious. It has lots of humor and self awareness and comic book fun. The climax alone is pure comic book-y glee with all the hallucinations and stuff.
Ah no.. how is that comic book-y? You do realise they were under the effects of a psychotropic drug right?

Reading some of the reviews and noticing the constant praise for it being "hilarious". Take this conclusion for example Funnier than GotG. Ffs. Why do these critics get so hard by Marvels lame comedy. You wouldn't think this is a film about destruction and death from reading these reviews. Its just pathetic and I could care less about the RT score because when it comes to Marvel films I've found the opposite is true. The higher rating they give it, the more likely it actually sucks. Ive watched the spoiler-free review by Collider. It's not a comedy and has some dark scenes but yes it has jokes.

Thor- Getting hit by Jane's car the second time. Which was hilarious btw. I laughed at it. But I didn't originally mean slapstick per se. But rather self depreciating humor that comes close to being a parody of its source material. Thor and Ant Man are full of it. There's a lot of winking at the audience as if to say: "Yup, this is silly. We're aware. Wink wink." That's better than being unaware of how silly it is or being embarrassed by it. Under 20th Century Fox, anything even remotely resembling something "comic book-y" would have been removed altogether. I know it's subjective but I thought DoFP's Quicksilver's run when they were rescuing Magneto was comic book-y. Also just look at Deadpool...

Deadpool had more in common with an MCU film than anything else by Fox, really. It just used more blood and skin.

Ah no.. how is that comic book-y? You do realise they were under the effects of a psychotropic drug right? Because the hallucinations are slightly cartoonish and indulgent. Also the tone is very comic-y in my opinion. The effects of the drug itself is very comic book-y throughout.

Especially when he's doing so backed by an ancient doomsday cult.

Some of it does feel comic-book-y but Nolan's brilliance lies in being able to add psychological complexity to that tone. Case in point, in the scene below, Murphy's delivery is very much in a line with a Burton-style baddie at first but, by the end of the scene, a routine good-guy/bad-guy interrogation becomes something out of a gothic nightmare.

Excellent point/example! That's why I love TDK trilogy- it has the best of both worlds: realism and over the top comic bookiness.

Ok, so it only has 15 reviews so far, but that's still a promising start. What do you think its final score will be? Thor Ragnarok is STILL holding on to that 98. It's like it's avenging its brothers in the Franchise. Watch as every negative reviewer holds it back to the last possible second to drag that score into the abyss. The dude from Variety was too early and eager. Hee hee hee...
