He acts like that when eyes aren't on him and saves face when they are. Extreme or not, it fits the role.

It sounds more like "This is violent ergo it's overly edgy" is the stance here when there's plenty of media out there with the same level, if not more, that also have something to say and say it well.

So the fact of the matter is that the Black Sun did not do it well. Or at least not good enough, because I remember the flurry of negativity that hit the show after the release. To me, he's more of a BvS rider version: few people like him, but those who get hooked just adore him.
Plus, your show is both mundane and extreme at the same time. I doubt that it can be combined in principle.
