I can find several reasons why I dislike him.

1. His old-fashioned "nice-guy" and heroic alignment makes him a generic protagonist, something that Tari, Saiko, and even Boopkins and Bob suffer from. It's good to have a break with someone like Francis as the polar opposite, but Axol would have definitely been a more interesting character as the villain from the anime arc and have him using Francis as a pawn. It's kind of disappointing to see his potential go down significantly the moment he's revealed as a captive from Francis.

2. Voice lines are below-average. Something Boopkins and notoriously Tari get hindered by. His voices conjure up a person that suffers from diseases or from a sickly man that came out from the hospital. Additionally, while the visuals clearly show him as happy and nice, the emotions clearly don't tell so. It's almost like no heart is put in there, and the dialogue feels like scrapped from a Nick Jr. TV show. Boopkins' whininess at least has genuine emotion in there, unlike Axol and Tari.

3. As an OC that's not part of Mario or even Nintendo itself, he demands a more precise execution curve in order to fit into SMG4's bloopers. As videos symbolize randomness and satire, he deviates from the standards, displaying the personality and unecessary voice lines from above. While one character like Meggy could balance out the retardedness and humor, too many characters (Tari, Saiko, and even Boopkins and Bob) in order to even the scales is just takes away from the main themes. While Meggy becoming a main cast member was a shallow decision, making Tari and Saiko is just clearly meant to suit the younger fans. As such, Axol has the potential of being a character that cashes in with the more inexperienced and underaged viewers, with limited character development and being unfit for the main parts of SMG4.

I consider Axol to be one of the worst characters of SMG4, alongside Saiko and Tari due to his overwhelming flaws. This is why I never enjoy his screen time in bloopers.
