I'm the exact opposite. I LOVED the humor. For me, Infinity War, Endgame, and many other MCU movies over the past couple of years have taken themselves WAAAY to seriously. The MCU is becoming the DCU, and Shazam and Aquaman are more MCU than a lot of the post Civil War films.

I'm really old school in my comics and their movies. I LOVE the 70's/80's Superman films. The first is STILL the greatest comicbook hero film ever imho. It's a sweet, soft film. It has tons of personality. Today, every movie is trying to be a harder, darker take of it's predecessor. Thor Ragnarok threw that all off. It had humor, Thor had a real personality (instead of hammer this, hammer that, flex, repeat), and Hulk was the best from ANY of his appearances. Jeff Goldblum was just a peach. Everything about it just really meshed well. Sadly, everything after it was really mediocre. I'm in a minority as well, since I see Infinity War and Endgame as 2001-era video game cutscenes. Those movies are BORING.
