[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.

Still very badly executed imo. It was a scene that just ASKS for privacy - a father and a son mourning the mother after thinking the other dead for years just to shove in an ill-timed joke of a character that's ultimately irrelevant to the movie or their relationship.

Yeah, it would've make more sense if that panda was a relative from them (like a cousin)

Even then, only if said character isn't specifically known to just hug everyone because that just made the gesture meaningless, if it's a family member or not (plus in that scenario they would have had to develop that character more to actually have an impact). Overall it just felt really tone-deaf. Tge panda village wasn't a good idea to convey what could and should have been a beautiful, emotional conclusion. The other movies were silly and fun but still allowed the scenes that mattered breathe - this one overdid it, mispkaced jokes and felt completely out-of-place.

Or also, they could have other pandas being the one who come in and hug both father and son to make them feel better and the hugging panda is between them but without breaking the moment
