The problem with Captain Marvel is that he works best when he's at his corniest. He's still a great character when he's darkened and made serious, but his claim to fame is that his lighter, brighter, more fun series of comics outsold Superman

I don't know if I agree w/you when you say he works best when he's corny.

Now there was a lot of cheese back in the classic comics but that was more due to the comics code being so lame.

I think some of his best stories have easily been the darker ones.

Being brainwashed in Kingdome Come, his unfortunate encounter w/Superman in InJustice: Gods Among Us, and the more recent JSA where he is dating the teenage Stargirl which looks like a pedo relationship to the heroes who dont know he is actually a kid are some of the more memorable story lines in the last 20 years.

hell, the whole reason there is a Captain Marvel Junior (is b/c CM was fighting Captain Nazi which lead to CN crippling Freddy Freemon and murdering his grandfather.

Now, I do agree that is very important for him to still hold some wide eyed child like naivete for the comic to work. But that doesn't necessarily have to be cheesy. (and yes I am aware that Tawny is extremely difficult to pull off w/o being cheesy)
