Going edgy doesn't save a show or series. Heck, it may turn off the original fans. DC, Marvel, Image and others fell for that trap in the 90's. I got sick of being angry, blood, and then fights for no good reason. I think Civil War by Disney was way better than the comics for that reason.
Yeah a lot of people complained about MCU Civil War not being as big and grandiose as in the comics, but I thought the movie adaptation was far superior in the sense that it was far more complex how it was staged and what the fallout was.
Captain America: Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, and Infinity War are basically the height of the Marvel film's cinematic storytelling. No surprise given that it has the same writers and directors and all three films connect wonderfully in terms of the character arcs and storytelling (especially Captain America, who never wavered from his moral convictions, even though him not being completely forthright with Tony is what caused a pretty big rift between the two).
Those are probably the only three films out of the whole MCU catalogue that I think fondly of in the same way I think fondly of the complexity and layers of themes that were covered with the TDK trilogy.

Even the language and culture in Civil War was great. That was the only time I've seen an American movie have someone speaking sweetly in German.
