This thought is so specific to people who own animatronics.
Do you believe your version of a character is a doppelgänger of many clones (or brother/sister??) or do you believe your version of a character is the definitive, and every other version is just idek, someone playing them as a role?
Kinda like how the fandom can differentiate “Volo’s Beach Bear” or “BBWL’s Mitzi”, even “*insert collector’s name* character. There is differentiations between the same character across their appearances.
I really just be waking up with the most important questions in life, like am I fr rn? 😭 Anyway, to answer my own question, my version of a character is the definitive of them in my mind. I do not have the same connection to other versions of the same character. I still enjoy seeing them, and it’s not that I think no other version looks good, it’s that they just are not who I think of in my head when I think of the character as if they were sentient.
