[@Awson] Well I say that because disappointed implies you at least enjoyed the first movie. Though I was under the impression the first GoTG was good because it was "funny." which why I originally was turned off by it because most "comedies" are anything but.

Like tell me some jokes you think didn't work in the second one, (go ahead and put a hider if you must.) just so I have examples...it honestly reminded me of watching a Mel Brooks movie in the comedy parts. What exactly did you not like about the comedy? Was there a particular character that didn't work? Was the comedic timing off? Which jokes felt awkward? I ask because just saying they're dumb, is a little too vague.

It sounds like you feel the 2nd one was just more comedy focused (which is sort of what I expected going in.) But I felt there was plenty of action beats and emotional parts of the movie as well, did you not enjoy those parts either? Do you feel any of the other marvel movies look better visually? How'd you feel about the story itself? Details would be nice. (I've had arguments about movies, where the opponent never saw the movie. So just want to get a more specific baseline to go on.)

Like yeah, Avengers 2 was kind of a damn stupid movie for many reasons. Though I'd argue not really for the same reasons you'd described.

I take no pleasure in verbosity. I also dislike discussing movies with people who haven't seen the movie(s).

I did enjoy the first movie for the most part, yes. And no, I didn't like it only because it was funny. It was a nice, cool movie that had good funny moments. Vol. 2 not only pushed other things aside to add more jokes, but they actually changed the type of humor in my opinion. I don't think "dumb" is too vague of a description for humor. Immature and not very clever. Too forced at times.

I'll give you one particular. They did [s]twice[/s] thrice as many Drax bits as they probably should have.

The visuals were obviously very good. The action, story, and emotional moments were all fine, but all were at least slightly less good than the first.
