if there& #39;s one thing i hate is how the MCU has convinced writers and audiences that good writing is when you put a sardonic quip after every beat in the script like the characters are lets-playing their own movies.
people always complain about it in terms of there being "too many jokes" but the problem is that none of those are jokes

there& #39;s no setup or comedic timing. It& #39;s just [ACTION] -> [SARCASTIC REMARK].
the only bit of characterization you can add to that is move the slider from ["Sarcastic" <-> "Incredulous" <-> "Whiny"] depending on which character is on screen and which other character has to play straight man to the bit
[SCENE: A BAD GUY DOES A BAD THING]
MARVEL HERO A: Looks like SOMEONE woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning
MARVEL HERO B: That is not funny, focus
MARVEL HERO A: Oh, you too?
[MARVEL HERO A BLOWS UP THE BAD GUY, CUT, REPEAT FOR 120 MINUTES]
