Comedy can give you a much needed break between heavy moments. Sometimes when media is just pure bleak, it can be hard to feel like there’s a point to the hero’s victory if everything is going to suck, anyway. Characters having fun makes it seem like they have something to look forward to.
That being said, I hate it when movies and shows in particular get carried away and can’t let a serious moment play out without slipping in a quip. The emotional scenes need room to breathe, too.
