          Check out Behind the Mask: the Rise of Leslie Vernon. It’s a satirical horror comedy that takes the common horror tropes, deconstructs them and turns them inside out, upside down in a hysterical way.

          I mean, horror comedy is the junk food of movies.

          It’s almost supposed to be bad, and that’s what people like.

          Have you watched Cabin in the Woods yet?

          Because that movie is intentionally comedy-horror, but also because it’s a satire of the horror genre and Hollywood’s cinema industry as a whole.

              Yes, they do. Multiple times. It’s the whole premise of the movie that the characters are intentionally being drugged to behave stupidly in the most dire of situations. They crack jokes while characters are choosing the relics that determine who is going to kill them, they also crack jokes during the ending monster fight scene while people are being murdered left and right.

      Is Marvel even epic?

      I thought it was always kinda corny, just chuck some jokes in, then have the occasional fight scene. That’s what it is.

      If they tried to be too serious I think it would fail spectacularly.
