I don't like it. It feels really forced, like it's trying way too hard to ape the '90s comic. Falls into that general problem of "something trying to be good but which ends up bad can be endearing, something trying to be bad is just bad."

I'm sure it was aware of how tongue-in-cheek some lines were (e.g. rambling about the environment in the middle of his killing spree), but there are multiple kinds of self-awareness. "This is at least a little cheesy but we're rolling with it because it's fun" self-awareness is different from "dude we're making something bad on purpose it's going to be a MEME" self-awareness. It's why any attempt at making a "sequel" to one of those low-budget hack films like Birdemic or Sharknado leads to all the charm being sucked out; to generalize, doing something bad because you think it will be good can often be charming, while doing something bad because you're trying to be "so-bad-it's-good" will always just lead to something both bad and bland.
