title! what are y'all's thoughts on how the kids act and speak in the pilot?
my overall perspective is that they're not portrayed exactly how i see them in the comic, but that's to be expected because i wasn't the one that made it! i think these are all perfectly serviceable interpretations of them.
i know dave being so animated (pun) is controversial, and it's one of the roughest changes for me as well. i do prefer stoic-coolguy dave over outgoing-coolguy dave, but i think the change makes sense for adaptation to the medium and time that this is coming out in.
the pilot's take on rose is really funny to me! she's got a really fun balance of the cool sarcasm, teasing psychoanalysis, and light goffik vibes. her and jade are probably closest to how i see them.
john is a toughie. i feel like his brand of goofiness in the comic vs the pilot are just a liiittle disconnected; it disorients me a little but i'm here for it. i know this is such a lame criticism but i do think he swore a little too much lol
