And plus, Marvel is still dark, but it still understands that people watch movies to enjoy them. Hmm the Marvel MCU movies are not dark to me because they're more light hearted than dark. The only Marvel movies I think are pretty dark are the X-Men movies and the upcoming Deadpool movie. They're not "depressing" type of dark. But there are moments that take themselves more seriously than others. eg. Project Insight, Quicksilver's death. But DC gets dark to the point that it's just downright dull. Well I don't think Project Insight was that much dark because we didn't get to see it taking out its targets, as for Quicksilver's death it wasn't dark either because it was force, predictable, and kind of stupid. Well, Quicksilver's death, while forced and stupid, wasn't exactly predictable. What's more predictable is the forced character arc they have to give Scarlet Witch now. I mean, Marvel said they killed QS to develop Wanda more, but I'm pretty sure "developing the character" and "forcing her into a relationship with that JARVIS sounding robot" are two different things.

And it's not a good idea to put Wanda's "getting-over-what-happened-in-AOU" arc in Civil War, because the film's already stuffed enough. This is supposed to be a story about a battle between friends turned enemies, and they can't pull the focus from that to this new character we've barely seen. For two main reasons

1. Captain America and Iron Man are more interesting and engaging than Scarlet Witch.

2. We've already seen that movie, and it's called Iron Man 3.
