When does this happen? Because every time there's a death in MCU it's been treated with seriousness.

Spoilers for "Black Widow" and "Falcon and the Winter Soldier"
In the recent "Black Widow" movie, they fire rockets and shit and cause an avalanche presumably killing a whole prison full of prisoners/guards, you can assume maybe the prisoners were evil and so it was ok they died, or you can assume the guards were evil because they were holding the dad captive, but you can't assume both were evil. so they kill a bunch of people and are joking like right after. They do this shit all the time and act like the audience is supposed to not notice death unless they underline it.

Like in the Falcon and Winter Soldier show we are supposed to be mad at new Captain America because he killed a dude who had a moment to say "hey don't kill me" even though Falcon killed loads of dudes starting in the opening action sequence.

They just don't take shit seriously often, and I'll have to rewatch it to find it but in one of the early "what if" episodes (maybe the first one) they were REALLY being informal about death and the threat of death so much so that I gave up on the whole series.

I can live with Starlord using quippyness around danger as a defense mechanism because of his personality, but when what are supposed to be serious characters don't treat death or the threat of death seriously, they shouldn't expect anybody to get invested in that show/movie.
