When Hux gave his speech in TFA he was a serious character, they should have kept him as someone to be feared, not ridiculed.

Disagree.
The context following Rogue One has Leia basically flipping Vader the bird after he boards the ship "What plans? I don't got any plans."
"Tarkin, I should have known you'd be here holding Vaders leash."
Tarkin and Leia had a pretty great casual back and forth before it was revealed they were going to blow up her planet.
I dunno. I loved Poe trolling Hux. I thought it fit his character perfectly. Are they all supposed to be super serious wooden soldiers all the time? I thought the humor was one of the best parts of the film. BB8 fixing the X-Wing like trying to plug a dam had me laughing pretty hard.
I also never really considered the First Order to be the force that the Empire was and it was obvious that their leadership was thin. I saw them more as a decently organized terrorist group than a fully integrated and functioning government entity like the empire.
