In The Avengers, Hulk and Thor are standing side-by-side fighting against some Chitauri. After they beat up all the Chitauri, all of a sudden Hulk punches Thor for no reason at all and Thor goes flying across the room. That was intended to be a joke scene and makes the battle against the Chitauri look like a joke. It would be like if in Wonder Woman, after Wonder Woman takes out the sniper at the top of the tower, Sameer suddenly punches and knocks out Charlie for no reason at all.
Wonder Woman balances the lighter moments (Diana and Steve talking on the boat ride to London, Diana shopping for civilian clothes, Diana and Steve dancing in the snow) with the more serious moments (the No Man's Land scene, the scenes of the injured soldiers with amputated limbs, the scene of women and children killed by poisonous gas). That's something that MCU, which always treats war and people getting injured or killed as a big joke, still hasn't figured out how to do right after 16 movies.

The entire opening of Civil War, from the battle with Crossbones, to Tony's speech at MIT, was all focused around what it means when even a small group of people or simply one boy whom you put a name and a face to, perish as a result of super shenanigans. The puppeteer in Zemo was the result of a few random unheard of (to us) casualties of the Sokovia battle. There are also different kinds of battle against varying enemies. The Avengers NY incident was fought against alien fodder and the focus was on the team coming together, stopping Loki, and sealing off the portal. With those goons they can easily showcase abilities and throw in moments of levity. When the enemies are human, the foes are treated with more identifiable seriousness. The helicarrier battle when Hawkeye attacked and Hulk was rampaging had a more serious tone throughout than the lighter moments of the climax. Hulk punching Thor was payback for the bout on the helicarrier last time he was freed since they just finished off the direct threat and was used to break the mood. TFA treated fighting with the utmost seriousness throughout. It's all about perspective.

I sometimes doubt if you actually see the MCU films you criticise. And sometimes wonder if you understand them. Wasn't that a quick and convenient journey by the way. Time just flew by Such an oh so original scene So beautiful, so poignant...so cliched, so dull The way you first described this I was expecting some harrowing depiction of war. Then I saw the film. Paul McCartney's "Pipes Of Peace" video was more harrowing Maybe it's about what Wonder Woman believes. And she believes in love. Only love will truly save the world. |

You clearly have never served in the armed forces before, soldiers make jokes all the time even in the heat of battle. The MCU has definitely not portrayed the Chitauri invasion or Sokovia in AOU as being laughing stocks, all related media referencing it paints them both as major events that changed the lives of everybody around. |

Do soldiers ever sucker-punch a fellow soldier who's fighting side-by-side with them after a battle? Are soldiers invulnerable ancient warrior godlike aliens and gamma-irradiated rage monsters with dry senses of humor and a comedic bro rivalry? It's levity on super level. The physical version of a callback wisecrack to alleviate a tense moment. |

The answer...No. |
