I enjoy Stardust's character and I thought the addition of the Ascension was cool. Maybe they'll actually get some meaningful appearances now - wins or loses. I'm kind of tired of the "hissing like a cat" Stardust does. That's my one complaint.

Literally three posts above yours I stated how much I love it.
I love all the random weirdness honestly. He is more Joker (cartoon version) than a Golddust (not that you claimed that) and I like that. He is chaos in the WWE, and eventually if built right could play out greatly. I still want Golddust vs Stardust, but I want no face, and no heel. Anti-hero and villain, you decide which is which.
The question really has to be: is that a bad thing? Are you not entertained fella?

Cody Rhodes tells fantastic stories while wrestling as Cody Rhodes. He put on great matches routinely as 'Dashing', 'Un-Dashing' and 'Un-sure what his gimmick is' Rhodes. He doesn't need a lame rip-off gimmick to make him interesting.
Dashing Cody Rhodes, wasn't a character like Stardust, and he put on great matches with Rey Mysterio, Jack Swagger and Kofi Kingston during his time as Dashing Cody Rhodes in 2010. He was a midcard staple for SmackDown. Counted on to put on great matches.
Un-Dashing Cody Rhodes, once again wasn't like Stardust, and this put Rhodes in Apex mode. Some of the great matches and rivalries of his career are from this era. He single handedly made Ted Dibiase a viable face, and got him a following. Was probably the only one who put on a good feud with Big Zeke, and did great stuff with Intercontinental Championship. He was one of the few people since 2005 to do something great with it.
Cody Rhodes doesn't need to be Stardust, something toned down would do just fine. I'm not saying leave him in the same state as Cody Rhodes 2014, but don't waste his great in-ring talents with a shitty gimmick. imo at least.
Ring-work is secondary to me. I like guys who actually have some resemblance of character, and other than a few bright spots, normal Cody Rhodes was boring to me. Stardust is a character that is actually sort of fascinating to watch in his own right.
Cody Rhodes is ALWAYS better working a character. That's like rule 34215 of wrestling.
Cody Rhodes is bland as bland can be outside of his ring work. There are guys who work that by developing characters out of their ring work. See dickhead heel Daniel Bryan Danielson for further on this. He was amazing when he was just the dicking submission master in ROH. Cody does not have that.
But when he is given something, he jumps headfirst into it and he shines. He's so much like his brother in that way since Dustin Rhodes was absolutely dreaful before Goldust
