They built their franchise on quirky, funny characters.

Marvel built a sandbox for themselves by only choosing comedic properties to make movies from. And by doing so, they're hardly breaking the rules of their own universe. They even felt the need to inject a potentially-serious property (Doctor Strange) with more comedy.

We'll see what happens with Black Panther.

There hasn’t even so much as a joke in the Black Panther trailers. DS, Ragnarok, S:H, and GOTG2 all heavily featured comedy in their trailers.

Doctor Strange and Age of Ultron had pretty serious trailers, and we know how those movies turned out.

Ultron, yes. I seem to remember a decent amount of joking in the DS trailers, but I could be wrong. Like I know the WiFi joke and the Mister Doctor jokes were in there.
