Humor in Superman very much did kill dramatic moments. Like when he sadistically took down General Zod in Superman II with a smile on his face.

And Robocop was a thorough satire, so it worked due to that.

There was over the top humor in Superman 2, but him pointing to his head as if to say "thinking" did not undermine the moment he tricked Zod. The dramatic tension was kept when needed.

Robocop had serious moments--the Murphy story itself is serious.

Difference with a MCU movie is that when humor comes, it is always undercutting any dramatic moment or aimed at the character. Like when the nerd in Winter Soldier is talking to Steve Rogers in the library.

Or the Ultron humor.
You'd have to understand the difference humor that is part of character behavior and humor that is added at expense of character.
"He's adopted" is at expense of character and tension.

Zod correcting the president is not.
