I think it depends how he actually carries himself. Look at Batman: The Brave and the Bold. That Arthur was a full on parody of the superhero archetype, but he was F U N. He stole the show in every scene. It didn't matter that he was a joke (in a show where everyone was), it mattered that you wanted Batman to have a showdown at a public pool so Arthur would show up and scream like Brian Blessed stepping on a Lego brick.
I get where you're coming from insofar as Starfire hasn't been the same since 2003 when the animated series aired (with people demanding she change entirely to accommodate their love of the show), but Arthur going full farce in the public eye would have infinitely more to do with Momoa coming off like a fratboy than an animated show looking to crib some of that Regular Show/Adventure Time/Rick and Morty vibe.

Even if its intended for kids, the art is awful
No wonder people are driven towards Japanese anime, it is so attractive with great art.

It's not just the art. It's the variety. Regular Show/Adventure Time/Steve Universe/Teen Titans sells so now everything has to look like that. I wish WB would allow for some variation instead of trying to fit everything into the same mold.
The only serious action cartoon we are getting is Young Justice and that show hasn't been doing it for me with it's ever bloating cast. I wish we could get another action show.
This is where I'm at with it. I'm also not as adverse to the calarts style as I know a lot of people are.
It's wacky and wild and I've found a few shows with similar style that I enjoy. The kids are definitely gonna eat it up!
I'm also in the minority but I dig the blue-green hair. It's different but a fun little nod to Poseidon.
