AE was a continuation of AO, so of course it's going to have more characterization. You know, characters become more established as their story is told and what not.
THANKFULLY it doesn't look like the over the top cartooniness or failed attempt at making the protagonist seem badass of MO or I'm pretty sure I'd just drop the franchise as a whole
Basically, what I'm saying is, gradual characterization > BOOM OVER EXAGGERATION LOOK AT THE EXACT ARCHETYPE THIS CHARACTER IS RIGHT OFF THE BAT YEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH

But from what I've seen the humour coming from the characters seems no more goofy than it was in AE. I mean pretty much every cutscene in AE was filled with humour besides the Bad Ending.
EDIT: And I mean, Havoc, they took out the goofiest scene in AO and replaced it with a relatively dark one (Abe hitting his head versus the attack between two Scrabs).
