Tone down the quips

Again, the perfect example for a Marvel movie which managed to balance the tone between seriousness and funniness is Captain America: The Winter Soldier. At the opposite side, we have Iron Man 3 and Age of Ultron "“ and some of us feel a bit cheated, especially since the trailers all promised a turn towards a more dramatic side.

This doesn't come to say, nonetheless, that Marvel should renounce all the wittiness and all the quips coming from characters which are known to be this way. But can you imagine what will happen when Star Lord finally meets with Iron Man? You'll have an Infinity War filled with one-liners.

We're not saying that "“ by all means, these are movies based on comics, so funniness should be in here. But a line shouldn't be crossed.

For example, did we really need to hear Ultron saying that he was about to puke in his mouth? That was supposed to be a serious scene, in which (part of the) Avengers were facing for the first time Ultron "“ were they supposed to be scared when the robot made jokes about breaking eggs?
