I do see that there is more to him than that. and I really hope they don't keep bouncing him in and out of different beds in the future.
He's from a rough background, as we see in Homecoming, so they're marking that linguistically. I like piratical Porthos. Normally Porthos is very one-dimensional, the jokey vain buffoon, so I think one of the things they've done best is round him out. They've done that well with all the characters, actually. They're all somewhat one-dimensional in the source material (Athos probably the least), and many adaptations just double down on that. The D'Artagnan of the book is the world's biggest Mary Sue, for example. These guys feel real.
But it really doesn't matter, because I adore Athos and can allow him to distract me from almost everything else
