MODERATORS
I understand where you're coming from on this. I love it when genres are mixed successfully, but the key there is "successfully". Everything needs to be consistent with the situation and the characters for it to work. It's realistic for people to be funny, tragic, romantic, and angry in sequence. Sometimes even all at the same time. But there have to be motivations for all of it that make sense in context.
Most humor in action movies is completely inappropriate. It destroys the suspension of disbelief. That is the result of bad writing and, sometimes, bad acting. It can also be done well.
