I like a good mixture of both. Deadpool is a character who shouldn't be a total clown, but a tragic character who hides his insecurities behind a wall of humor. When a writer makes him just the typical funny man, or the serious stone cold killer they lose an aspect of what makes Deadpool an awesome character. When he's just a clown, he can't be taken seriously and then what's the point of reading his character? When he's too serious then he's just a typical badass assassin. The best Deadpool writers are ones that balance his humor with his tragic inner-self. But if I had to choose between an all serious Deadpool and a all jokey Deadpool......I guess I'd take the all serious Deadpool. At least the writer is kinda taking the character seriously, then making him a walking talking punchline.
