Sure he made jokes here & there, but he wasn't a looney toon until Way. And now we're stuck with that characterization coming back. It's Jobbertooth, who is a complete pussy as a villain. Sure he used to be scary & badass, but that was 16 years ago. Austen brought in Jobbertooth, and now all he's about is growling & getting his ass kicked. No intelligence, cunning, of effectiveness whatsoever.
Sadly, a good few characters were assassinated a while back & can't seem to escape the hole they fell into because no writer or editor is gonna go far back enough to see they've been messed up.
I was interested in RoguePool since it was different, and I did like how Duggan wrote them. But they got a good closing issue in Despicable Deadpool, so I am cool with the closure they received. Call me happy with that. Compared to Creed x Monet. I know that isn't gonna happen, otherwise it would've by now. But unlike RoguePool, they can't even be bothered to proper close that one. At least RP got closure. MC has been teased, then left wide open in two books. Like RoguePool, it would only take 1 chapter to close off that relationship.
