In topic: "how do you feel about the characterization?"

not that anyone here has done it, but i've seen people complaining about jade seeming infantilised which i think is kind of dumb since she's literally shown to be asleep at the end of the pilot. it's dream jade! and she's goofy! i do think swearing fits j[une] and it's VERY refreshing to see that acknowledged as a part of [her] character, since a lot of times it feels like fans turn [her] into some goody two shoes, which [she] just... isn't. LOL. i just wish [she] seemed more Anti-Dad. "aw." in response to [her] dad's note on [her] gift is not something 13 year old j[une] would say!

i dont really gaf about dave and rose in the pilot since everyone's already had their critiques, but i do wish the level of "this is a front they put up" matched between the two, instead of dave's being so high energy and rose being nearly 100% in line with her front. but honestly i think it's more in character than most people think.
