I agree that the MCU is cartoonish but that's exactly why I like it. I think it works better that way. There's been a plethora of "dark" and "gritty" superhero movies lately, and I'm getting a bit tired of that. It works for something like X-men which is entirely allegorical to issues of race in society, although the X-men movies strike a nice middle ground which is why they're by and large my favourite Marvel movies altogether.

I'm happy to see over the top cartoonish battles because I like the genre and it delivers exactly what I expect.

I also kind of disagree that Spiderman doesn't belong in that cartoon world. I think he does, and this is why I found the Amazing Spiderman movies incredibly drawn out and dull. Yes he's a kid and he has "issues" but they gel better in a comic background and not a teen drama background.

You can take a setting like Gotham and spin a dark, gritty noir story on the top of it because that's the tone of the story. This is why Batman as a campy cartoon is silly (although hilarious). I don't think the same applies to all of these guys.

The only real concern at this point is that there's going to be a clusterfuck in Infinity Wars trying to get too many characters in and it'll be just a checklist of "appearances".

Marvel isn't supposed to be cartoony like DC and vice versa (*cough*Dark Superman *cough*), another reason why the MCU bothers a bit. Though Batman and the original Avengers can get away a bit.

Agreed. I think the main problem is people thinking it should always be one way or the other. Different comic characters have different tones. Raimi's movies nailed Spiderman's tone perfectly

Most of Sam Raimi's movies.

I still think that was far from the biggest problem with that movie (:

but it kicked the tone in the balls...

It was a dumb scene but I wouldn't say it's tonally inconsistent. There's a lot of intentional camp in those movies
