Part 5/10:
DeCosta’s remarks have fueled a debate about the tone of Marvel films—many of which have been criticized for being overly comedic or self-referential. Films like Thor: Love and Thunder and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania have already pushed the boundaries of silliness, with some fans feeling that this approach diminishes the seriousness or emotional stakes.
Even Chris Hemsworth voiced concerns that Thor: Love and Thunder might have been too silly. This suggests an awareness within the industry of the risks tied to excessive comedic tone, yet DeCosta’s comments imply a continued commitment to this strategy.
