To you, less goofy means going for that bankrupt "grounded" approach where it's all "See, there's no elements of a superhero world here! It's all REALISTIC AND JUST LIKE THE REAL WORLD!" garbage. IE, no aliens or magic, boring costumes, etc.
Smart to the point Kinglsey started to joke around and play a silly bafoon. Why couldn't he be just a normal person who Killian framed to be the Mandarin. No need for stupid, lame over the top jokes and a comedy sketch.
To show a total contrast between his "stage performance" and his real self. Like with real actors.
No the jokes just added to the stupidity of the fight itself. No one really wanted to hurt each other, yet they evacuate the airport incase citizens dont get hurt whilst throwing trucks at each other and launching people into airplanes. The premise of the fight doesn't add up. Rhodey gets paralysed which shows how idiotic Stark was again by bringing Spider kid when the same could have easily happened to him.
Which was to show, once again, that Tony is a flawed person who doesn't always make the right choices. He sent Peter home once he realized the kid could've gotten hurt. Unlike X-Men where no one calls out Xavier on how he's a Cult Leader (no, Mystique and Magneto don't count because they're no better).
They turned Ronan into a Disney villain.
If he was a Disney villain, it wouldn't have taken as much as an Infinity Stone to stop him.
Its like the same trick used by Marty in Back to the Future where he points & says, he whats that, to Biff who falls for it every time.
And no one complains there.
Ultron should have used similar speech to Apocalypse.
Pompous and empty?
No one takes a evil villain who jokes/quips seriously about destroying the world.
Tell that to the Joker or Angelus from Buffy.
Just wasnt convincing.
If you wanted something pretentious instead of more organic.
Na X-Men movies get the balance and timing between levity and darkness perfectly more than any other studio.
No, they're just pretentious and are the last bastion for people ashamed of comics.[/quote][/quote]
