The Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the most consistently entertaining modern film franchises. One of the reasons that the MCU is so endearing is its sense of humor. Many of the Marvel films and shows feature the characters joking around and making pop culture references. This allows the universe to feel more relatable as if you are getting to know your friends. However, that doesn’t mean that the MCU lacks the ability to get dark. If the characters don’t face consequences for their decisions, then there isn’t any reason that viewers should fear for their survival. Some MCU projects are…
