it's bias you think I am right about the Toad scene but not right about the Mandarin scene when that is worse in story because the trailers and synopsises for Iron Man 3 so far has established that the Mandarin was supposed to be a big threat of James Bond meets Mission Impossible CIA level also backed up by the fact that although Iron Man does not have a strong rogues gallery in the comics, the mandarin was among his better villains, so the movie making him into a joke was a bad idea that derailed the entire movie and even destroyed the tone of the film completely.
To say that that is not bad but the toad joke or martha scene that were just one off and did not even harm the overall reception or tone of those films as the mandarin did with Iron Man 3 is 100% bias.
You can cut the toad line joke in xmen 1 and it wont hurt that film or change anything about that film. you can still make some sense of the martha scene and just say the execution was poor but we get what Snyder was trying to, have them bond because both can say they have a human mother who was in danger, there was nothing to save, understand or take away from the Mandarin twist.
I don't feel this is been standard. a lot of fans agreed with marvel itself that they were wrong with the mandarin twist, when marvel built it up as something else and accepted or understood marvel's apology that they got it wrong, it makes no sense that can still be defended, when marvel cannot even defend it themselves and have said, sorry to fans of the joke that did not land in Iron Man 3 but instead cost a big backlash.

How Marvel Reacted To Iron Man 3 Villain Backlash
Lastly my opinions are not shallow, this is the reason I look beyond the narrative that comic films are just about humor, action, colourful costumes or generic cinematography. The vampire genre is like the comic genre , it evolved and every fiction had to be looked at on that same level of where a genre has been or already been. this is why humor has become very problematic not just in MCU but also DCU but I think some fans now calling out too much humor even with this Eternals trailer is a good thing because maybe marvel will listen and tone the humor down.
