When will this forced comedy trend end?

Rating: 5/10 (6 September 2019)

To be honest, I enjoyed this chapter more than the first one which i actually disliked because of the fact that protagonists are now adults, i hate it when pre teens take the lead because they make the total experience childish and just dull. But, what's the point of forcing comedy elements into horror movies nowadays? Why big budgeted horror movies tend to follow this route of adding a stupid character that throw jokes all the time and ruin the total atmosphere of the movie? Horror movies are becoming less serious that i will stop going to the cinema anymore because all i here there people laughing!
This movie is a fantasy/comedy horror and wow with this blend, we get to see strange and stupid looking pointless zombie creatures that even Disney wouldn't do.
Surprisingly though, the movie has a very strong and promising dark/sinister opening scene even darker the first chapter but then everything went downhill when they split up.
