#but he doesn't feel... paul enough..

[greeneldritchfurby]

I'm still a bit conflicted on Reprised.

(Very light proshot spoilers)

On one hand I ADORE the lighting, choreography, and even new characterizations. (Like, for example, Ted and Charlotte.)

But the one thing I'm still iffy on is one of the reasons I love the show: that being the characterization of Paul himself. I do love how active he in Reprised, he really does feel like hes in constant peril. There's an almost slapstick nature to him, which I find really endearing.

Admittedly though, I do feel like he's a bit... nicer? Than og Paul?? Hes still awkward and can be rude, but he seems more.. smiley? I don't know how to describe it. Polite?

I just really liked in the original how blunt he was. For lack of a better word, its like 1am for me rn, I enjoyed how unintenionally dickwadish he was.

Though it could be I'm just annoyed that my character analysis of Paul in the og is kinda undone by Reprised.
