I love both those shows/Mangas, they're not even bad to me but Holy shit, those 2 series have little to no good balance with the comedy and serious stuff that it tends to feel like borderline tonal whiplash.

People will defend them with the "oh they're comedy anime" and that's not the issue but I just feel like those 2 series have a real bad habit where they can't take themselves seriously for more then a arc or minute and it just feels like they over-rely on comedy.

Like SpyXFamily will have(and did have) a moment where Loid will tell Yor about his mother and what she was like and it will be a genuinely sweet and romantic and even heartwarming moment..but then the next scene will have her forgetting about it due to her drinking a ton of wine and he has to tell her again.

like I said,a extreme amount of whiplash and even bigger issue is the fact that they take Yor drinking a ton of alcohol and wine and basically get herself drunk to deal with these things as Comedy instead of actual flaws for her to overcome and stop,like it was funny the first time but Yor does that almost all the time where she basically has to get herself wasted to do these things and it's like..sometimes I question what is even the humor,Yor gets insanely violent when drunk?

is that funny?

Also the insanely slow progression between Yor and Loid is so bad that it has people freaking out when the literal bare minimum happens and I'm not even asking for hard-core sex and fucking,just some more instead of literal crumbs but that's another conversation.

And a big problem is this series will also have a ton of dark shit with family members of cast members and other characters being revealed to have died and then the next arc will be about Anya having goofy moments and taking a test and it just feels like this series has no consistency in that kinda thing and gets defended with "oh its not a serious show" or "oh it's not a romantic show" or anything like that.

I just wish SpyXFamily took itself more seriously cause it has a real big problem where it tends to not do that when it genuinely should and the fact that the characters don't question anything cause of plot is a problem.

Dandadan has weirdly the same problems and such but this is more obvious cause this series is so weirdly aimless..it's like those shows where they basically have to battle alien/Yokai of the week.

Like this series has such a weird lack of urgency and there's no direction or nothing and the villains range from lackluster to forgettable to just wasted.

This isn't even coming from someone who hates Dandadan cause that kinda shit was fine at the beginning but as the story continues, the lack of direction and how aimless it is really starts to become obvious and is really obvious in this current arc cause surprise, you need a direction and story/drive when writing a long running manga cause you can only rely on Monster of the Week for so long.

These Characters might as well be running around like headless chickens and not doing jack shit and I'm not going to even talk about how there's no urgency on Momo's memories or nothing..like maybe if there was a time limit on to get Momo's memories back and they had to fight the clock,that would be something but no, it's no urgency and the characters aren't even trying to find ways to get her memories back other then just hoping for the best.

The Other Characters might as well be benchwarmers and it's not like actual important shit isn't happening but at the same time,we're stuck and focused on this literal Filler.

And I'm not going to even talk about how the main 4 Characters have been Castrated from all good likablity and growth thru had and might as well be cartoony caricatures.

And Here's the thing,Gintama shows you can do a comedy manga that knows when to take itself seriously when they have to cause they know how to goddamn Balance it and do a little thing called consistency.

SpyXFamily and Dandadan Have very sloppy consistency.

I can't tell if it's just cause How Popular Batman is or just the insane lack of media literacy but if you're gonna give shit to Batman for not killing his villains despite how bad they are/were, then you gotta give the same flack to characters like Spider-Man(who more or less let's sickos like Green Goblin and Carnage stay alive despite it all)or people like Reed Richards who lets Dr Doom stay alice despite the fact that bro is a insane sociopath who wants to ruin his and his family's lives.

Or hell,Daredevil doesn't get flack for keeping sickos like Kingpin and Bullseye alive.

I could keep going but Batman deadass shouldn't be the only one singled out for it and it's not even his fault his villains keep breaking out, that is explicitly on Gotham for being shit at containing them and Bruce could throw as much money to the problem as he wants but Gotham is corrupt.

Also Bruce has made it clear many times that he doesn't mind when others kill(i mean,one of his friends is Wonder Woman),has gone on record to let people like Joker die and also made it clear to Gordon that if he wanted to take Joker out, he wouldn't stop him.

Also Bruce has attempted to kill Joker a good chunk of times.

he almost killed Joker the first time had Jason not stopped him.

he also almost killed Joker after Jason's death but Superman stopped him.

He also threw a knife at Joker with the intent to kill in the Batman Beyond Move, Put Joker in a full body cast in the Red Hood Movie, almost killed him in the Batman:Hush Movies,etc.

Also I'm gonna be so real, if Jason and Punisher were really as "better Batman" as people claim they are, then the cities of where they live would be a lot more safe yet they don't kill any major villains and only go after unnamed thugs and mob bosses but that's another conversation.

Like,let's be real..people Just want the Punisher.

they don't Want Batman, they basically want the the Punisher,a edgy and black wearing Vigilante who has a ton of weapons who lost his family but uses Guns and kills.
