It has a decent amount of humor in it, including the way it ends.
I guess Sammy L Jackson's Glass taking comic books so seriously is what really nudged my opinion in this direction. He has his monologues about comic books (where he goes full Jules), the art of comic books and of course the way it motivates his actions. Bruce Willis' more reluctant hero isn't nearly as unbelievable (besides his powers ofc).
