Don't get me wrong, they're both funny to watch in a "so bad they're good" kinda way, but I truly feel that the modern MCU movies strike the right balance of seriousness and humor. We're in a golden age of comic book movies right now.

I thoroughly enjoyed Shazam far more than Endgame, personally. I like movies that embrace the enjoyment. Heroes cracking jokes and confident one-liners, villains with ridiculous machines for global destruction, and overall hammy comicbook-style dialog. If I want serious drama, there are thousands of independent films shot in Italy for that.

With Civil War, Infinity War and definitely Endgame and Spider-Man FFH, it's fallen closer to the Nolan "serious movie" over the "Hey, we're comicbook characters, let's do this!" fun of movies like Deadpool, Ragnarok, Antman, Venom, Shazam, Aquaman, Superman 1978, etc. I'm almost Marvel'd out. Doctor Strange 2 will be my gauge.
