Don't get me wrong, Joker is a fine villain. However, the rest of the show is goddamn unambitious. Somebody like him doesn't fit the show as it was, and if the show is comparable to Looney Tunes (your own description, not mine), then he does not belong there. If Smile Precure should be judged as a light-hearted show that deemphasizes story as you insist (and not like other Precure seasons), then the villains should be scaled down to get the tone and flow of the story more consistent.
