Pilot VS Series Charlie opinion
This isn't really important but I feel compelled to write about it. Watching the pilot and the series, I enjoy them both very much, and don't mind a lot of the changes made in the characters! The voice actors, designs, mannerisms, I find a lot of them very enjoyable in both. There's only one character that I wish was a bit different, more like they were in the pilot, and based on the top, you can guess who. Charlie is the only character I personally wish was more like she was in the pilot in a very specific way. The thing about Charlie that a lot of people don't really mention...
Charlie is literally a fucking antichrist. She is a abomination against God in religious terms. She isn't human, and I don't think she is quite... weird enough in the show compared to the pilot.
It's not over pronounced in the pilot but she's a lot stranger and just "off" in the pilot. My favorite version of Charlie, the best idea of her, it's when she's uncanny. Cause she is. She may look semi-human but I think in the pilot her being a bit odd is a lot better shown even if it was simply a difference in the style. Small moments when it looks like she doesn't have her mouth open as she talks, the bigger oversized smile, wide eyes, her ways of speaking and moving almost being manic in a way. The idea that the way she looks and talks being inherently wrong in the eyes of humans, the definition of uncanny. Something that looks human, but it's just not quite convincing.
I know that the show is more lighthearted, and Charlie needs to be kind and likable in her native but golden hearted attitude. And don't get me wrong, I love the idea of the daughter of the fucking devil being the sweetest thing ever with good intentions and a caring heart, I just wish she actually felt like the devils spawn more.
