>>86088724It's pretty much the same plot, yes, but it's brutally compressed to the point where you don't feel much emotional connection when the heartbreak comes.
The plot goes by awfully fast, even including all of the montages in the episode, the actual betrayal itself isn't focused on all that much, the battle is over in only a few minutes without really feeling personal, and the aftermath of Raven being stabbed in the back by the one person that's shown acceptance towards her is completely washed over and never brought up again.
It's my biggest problem with the animated show: they introduce a lot of good ideas, but the execution of those ideas are very poorly handled and extremely rushed, and what should be good character development is quickly forgotten.
>>86088749Oh, I'm aware of that series. The first volume was certainly interesting, so I'm planning on continuing following it.
I've heard that the second volume has Raven and Starfire interact for quite an extended period of time, but I've been trying to stay away from any spoilers.
