I will use the Marvel movies as an example of this trope, because i think that most people who come here will have seen them, so you know what scenes i am referring to. This is obviously not exclusive to Marvel.
My question is this: Are most people uncomfortable by deep emotions, that is not related to a guy punching someone or joking around? I'm hoping that this is not the case of writers/director giving people what they actually want.
The scene in Guardians of the Galaxy where the camera spins around. Cool, right? Oh, wait, it has to end with Mantis being hit. Strange why they felt the need to do that, when the Avengers have similar scene with no joke, if i remember correctly.
Is an emotional scene, that does not end with a quip, joke or sarcastic comment really that hard to watch? Is the act of genuinely discussing an emotion without sarcasm so terrifying? I would like to hear from those of you who dislike emotion focused moments in moments, and your reasoning.
I should not have to add that having some jokes does not ruin a film.
Hopefully we can start a good discussion.
