Homestuck animated show feels so tonally weird... I think Dave is the most bizzare case to me (Jade feels off too, but I can't formulate why yet). He is so extremely energetic to the point of it being obnoxious, while in canon his smiles were so rare I think I can list half of them. Yes, Dave is a pretty emotional guy, but I thought his personality was about those emotions being buried under layers of chill and unconcerned facade. He was ironic and a bit too much from the start but just compare his faces when talking to John in first acts and the pilot.
Same with the John vs dad fight. To me the whole charm of the first two strife segments was in obviously loving parents being in a typical clash with their teenager kids. Doting was litterally the only attack Dad did in the original scene. While in pilot, John gets kicked through a roof.
Which is once again plain weird from a narrative standpoint because in the comic we had four strife segments and only one of them went to an actual physical confrontation territory. This fight being Bro's and Dave's and this fight was important because it had Dave getting drop kicked from a litteral roof in contrast to John being fussy about his birthday present. Which is paid off later on in a litteral comic length arc about Dave coming to terms with the fact he was abused as a child.
But I guess kicking kids in the sky is just something we normally do now.
