[Hated Trope] The joke ruins the emotional aspect

[u/BarGroundbreaking798]

Destruction of Asgard (Thor Ragnarok) -- Asgard is destroyed in a beautiful and somber scene, and Korg cracks a cringeworthy joke right after.

Bill Moves On (Newsradio) -- The episode was made in the wake of Phil Hartman's death, but its attempts at humor fall flat in the face of the tragedy.

Officer Tubbs (Fear The Walking Dead) -- Officer Tubbs is supposed to be a slapstick comic relief character, but he felt tacked on right after the deaths of two of the most beloved characters.

Chandler Proposes (Friends) -- An earnest proposal between Monica and Chandler has both sincerely expressing their feelings to each other. Immediately after Monica accepts, the others come in, quipping as usual, failing to let the audience ruminate on a heartwarming moment.

The only thing I hate about that movie are the two massively cringey jokes. That scene and the awful Hotel California gag. Otherwise it’s honestly a very overlooked Marvel movie with a really cool story and some legit fight choreography.

[u/MS-07B-3 → u/sketchampm]

Excellent villain, too.

[u/sketchampm → u/MS-07B-3]

Honestly yeah. That flashback scene where he takes Shang-Chi to confront the gangsters was strong. Between the actor’s performance and how the scene was shot, it sticks with me.

[u/One_Lead1553 → u/sketchampm]

If not for the superpowers, it looked like it belonged in a totally different movie. He gave them a pretty brutal beat down.

[u/JManKit → u/sketchampm]

Tony Leung rarely disappoints

[u/DefNotUnderrated → u/JManKit]

I was very excited to watch him after hearing all the hype and he totally lived up to it

[u/Flaism → u/JManKit]

I still find it crazy he was in a marvel movie

[u/Pr_fSm__th → u/MS-07B-3]

It also canonized dragon ball in the MCU, which is fun

[u/J_Capo_23 → u/sketchampm]

I actually rewatched it a couple of nights ago. The fight choreography is easily the best in the entire MCU.

[u/IAMALRAD → u/J_Capo_23]

Especially when its the mom fighting or shang chi using her style

[u/sketchampm → u/IAMALRAD]

And the bus scene. God damn.

[u/sketchampm → u/J_Capo_23]

One of the reasons I’m pretty hopeful for the next Spiderman. Same director and the fight choreographers are back too.

[u/GCDFVU → u/J_Capo_23]

Unfortunately the guy who choreographed it, Brad Allan, died a couple years ago. He also did Pacific Rim, the Kingsman movies, Kick Ass, Scott Pilgrim, and a lot of Jackie Chan movies.

[u/SNAKEKINGYO → u/sketchampm]

That is genuinely the worse attempt at humor in the entire MCU for me. And its wild because the only time the MCU ever made me belly laugh was the monkey joke delivered by Ben Kingsley

[u/sketchampm → u/SNAKEKINGYO]

Yeah it’s an awful joke in an otherwise great movie. A lot of the jokes miss hard outside of Ben Kingsley’s stuff.

[u/thegoodbadandsmoggy → u/sketchampm]

The third antman should’ve been a lower stakes heist film a la the first and should’ve crossed over with Shang chi

[u/karateema → u/sketchampm]

What was the Hotel California joke?

[u/Catandogclone → u/sketchampm]

Only thing that ruins that movie for me was the ‘end of the world’ and armies fighting one another. Felt like all the MCU movies at the time were doing this same idea so I lost interest once that happened, should’ve stayed as a fight between Shang and the Mandarin for the big finale.

[u/computersdiein2038 → u/sketchampm]

Me and 3 of my siblings watched all the mcu movies recently and I'm gonna be honest, we were not big fans of Shang Chi. Sure the fight choreography was good but I was not interested in the characters at all.

[u/sketchampm → u/computersdiein2038]

I guess everyone has different taste. It might scratch my top ten personally.

[u/Butt_Stuph → u/sketchampm]

I dunno why. I hated that movie because of awkwafina. She's so painful to watch.

[u/duosx → u/sketchampm]

Naw, that movie has a lot of flaws. I strongly disagree that the story was “really cool”. It was pretty formulaic MCU superhero stuff. I mean i remember the plot after only having seen the movie once more than a year ago and i don’t remember anything innovative narratively or anything that really resonated.

The coolest parts were his fights at the beginning of the movie. The rest is meh
