Humour in MCU & DCEU films

Humor in a superhero movie is not necessary (The Adventures of Captain Marvel proved that) but if you are going to have it, then it should not be at the expense of the characters.
It should arise from normal character behavior. Like when the president says "oh God" and Zod thinks he was misspeaking his name.


A no-no for me is the Thor line in the Avengers when he says

"He's my brother."

"He killed 200 people yesterday."

"He's adopted."

That's sitcom type humor. It undermines the seriousness of the character and of the discussion.
There is a lot of that kind of humor in the Marvel movies. Way too much of it.

I don't think I can take any of the dramatic situations in the post Iron Man movies seriously because the whole thing is treated like a joke.

Dramatic tension and suspense require that the subject matter be treated as serious and the Marvel movies never do that.
