For me, I think a dark tone is the only smart thing. When you have the type of cast we have, it seems natural for a gritty story. Myself, and many others feel is was a big mistake to try making these characters comedic. This is a book of mercenaries, assassins, and serial killers. They are the last cast members for sitcom humor. Occasional humor is good, but done a certain way. Like dark or more adult humor, rather than juvenile frat humor.
That's how Deadpool got ruined. In the 90's, he was a very dark & gritty character. Daniel Way came in & wanted to focus on comedy, and we're forever stuck with memepool. The movie followed suit, which hasn't helped. Now being a "joke character" is all Deadpool is known for -which is not what he started as. And of course Pak followed suit with lolrandom Deadpool. Plus, he seemed to be taking Domino & Sabretooth in the same direction, where they run the risk of being clown characters if this doesn't change gears fast.
