I don’t mind the script being adjusted to read better, but I do not see stylized or fancy dialogue as a weakness. It’s a moot point since Hussie’s on the script, I trust her changes.

In all, I don’t disagree with your broad picture, but I disagree with the endgoal. I get the sense many want a Homestuck adaptation to make Homestuck more of the straightforward sci-fi/fantasy YA adventure it masks at being. Homestuck’s “empty space” serves this point (and that’s not unusual for a cartoon to be- Adventure Time and Steven Universe both do the same thing, and to this day this is still seen as an accidental misstep and not, like, the premise of those works?) and I would hope any adaptation of Homestuck would seek to if not maintain that to some degree find other ways to play against type.
