There are probably all of two quips in that trailer, haha.
And maybe I'm just being overly sensitive about it. I am bathosed out. Humor is better when it is genuine and not snark and sarcasm. But comic book movies can't seem to understand this.

So how was Ant-Man & The Wasp? I haven't seen it. I assume it delivers a potent bathos drenching.

I must be missing something here, as I genuinely find sarcasm, in movies, when done well, funny as heck, ie Deadpool movies and Seinfeld's humor. It can be overdone, misplaced and disingenuous in the wrong hands though, it has to flow naturally.

Sarcasm has its place, but it seems that it is the only form of humor that super hero movies use. Too much of a good thing can go bad.
JAWS is very funny in parts. None of it is sarcastic. Same with RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK or ALIENS or APOCALYPSE NOW or STAR WARS.

In Jaws, you had certain characters who were naturally sarcastic and that worked, same as in "Deadpool", though, I didn't feel it worked for one or two characters in DP, but, the main character, definitely, it works. And I have seen it overdone for a few in other movies now and again. If too much, I do start to and get impatient, so I guess I get where you're coming from. I personally think it's overdone in "Star Wars", but, then I'm not much of a fan to begin with, so, my judgment there may be skewed.

That wasn't where the humorous parts of Jaws were.
For instance, the scene where Quint and Hooper are doing war-story bonding by comparing scars. Brody thinks for a moment about mentioning the only scar he has--an appendectomy scar--and thinks better about mentioning it. That was funny.
Or the classic scene of "We're gonna need a bigger boat." It wasn't delivered as a quip or sarcasm. It was a bleat, one of those moments when someone is faced with something completely out of his experience and his brain climbs out of his scull and yammers the first thing it can think of.
