Honestly, in that case, I doubly recommend Legion to you. It walks the fine line of funny, lighthearted, and often leaving you with a big grin, while still dealing with the darker sides of reality in captivating ways. I like to describe it as “realer than real”, somehow its absurdity and its realism are intertwined. Each one facilitates and expresses the other, like Yin and Yang.
Hadn’t seen anything like it but I’ve already seen a few shows try to ape its style, while totally lacking its substance (namely umbrella academy and doom patrol, which were just pale imitations of this piece of art imo).

I'll throw it on the list and see sometime. I did always tend to favor X-Men over the traditional Marvel stuff (or whatever you'd call it)
