So you dislike the original Toad in his weird ass jester get-up, too? This kind of reminds me of how people go "I'm a Draco Malfoy fan!!! But I hate it when people write him mean and shallow and cowardly in their stories!!!" uh. that's what he is. Toad is pathetic, that's his character. His codename is Toad jfc.

Sounds to me like you don't actually like Toad, just an OC that you've given Toad's skill set to, or (more likely) you just like this actor.

Toad in the film and Toad in the original comics are two completely different characters. He wasn't a toady in the film at all, so I don't see how the comparison to Draco fits. Also, after the movie, the comic incarnation started to look a lot more like the Ray Park version. The name applies more now to his appearance/abilities than his toady behavior towards Magneto.

You realize Toad has been around since the 60s right? That's over 50 years of established canon where he's been a toady, almost countless different reimaginings of the character where he's been toady, EXCEPT for the movie version. Don't you think it's a little odd to call yourself a Toad fan, and not only that, to randomly condemn two versions of the character that have fit in with every other version of the character? OP should just say that they like movie!Toad best and just leave it like that. Again, the entire point of his character is to be a toady for Magneto. If you don't like that you're going to be very, very disappointed.

All that ages of canon just tells me there's a lot of different versions. What's wrong with preferring one?

Actually, not so much.

There's movie!Toad, where he's a snarky, competent martial artist (takes out all the X-men, would've won but didn't know about Storm's claustrophobia. Whoops).

There's ultimate!Toad, where he's snarky, best buddies with Cyclops (apparently), reasonably effective, and ends the series as the gym teacher at Xavier Institute.

There's evo!Toad, where he's a mouthy, twitchy teenager, more hyperactive weasel than toady, with a hopeless puppy-crush on Wanda (that even leads to him doing some heroic-ish things).

Countless? Eh, not so much. There's a handful more, here and there, in some less-known one-shots. 1602's Toad is a toady, but the one with Nate in X-man was apparently an actor/scholar. There's a lot of different versions. What stays consistent isn't so much that he's a toady, but that he's an eternal loser. That's an adorable sort of pathos to him, really.
