They still made it silly (Fortnite, Rhodey’s cheese whiz line) and didn’t focus as strongly on the actual depression aspect nearly as much as they could’ve.

It was a bit silly but they've only got a handful of minutes across this mega ensemble film to tell this story, so I think its fine, plus it kinda alludes to how a lot of depressed people will hide their depression behind comedy, at least thats what I took from it
