@kermishy: i’ll try to describe their humor in more detail here: cat is more doing crazy / unhinged / ditzy things NEXT to her friends (carrying a box of batteries, bibble, making incorrect observations) while pepper is more likely to respond to conversation completely out of touch with reality (the thing about trina’s car, “what will OUR band name be >:(“ ) but also pepper’s nuttiness is a lot more rooted in reality, stupid as some of the bits may be. anyway! shes also more likely to be experiencing her own story than cat, who’s plots are more likely other people dealing with her stupidity. that explanation takes a lot of generalization on both side lmk if you agree or not. #victorious #catvalentine #nickelodeon #creatorsearchinsights #hollywoodartsvictorious trina vega hollywood arts show pepper vs cat valentines new cast writing analysis netflix
unpopular opinion but i prefer pepper’s dumbness to lobotomized cat. like pepper’s dumbness lowkey feels like she’s just joking around and can still function normally while cat felt like an actual baby

Maybe they’re going to do a reverse Cat and make her ridiculously smart by the end of the show lol

Pepper’s a fun character, but i think the writers need to rework her character a lil bit. I don’t think she needs to be a complete airhead. Her energetic and bubbly personality is genuinely sufficient and distinct enough- she would have worked way better as a ‘harper from wizards style character’

Cat isnt just dumb, shes also written as a toddler. Pepper isnt infantilized

Yeah I feel like we should retire the “ dumb “ character, it’s just demeaning and not funny

as Pepper said "someone has to be the dumb one". I feel like they are more consistent with her intelligence than in the victorious show. since in the original cat was supposed to be just bi polar but then became a full blown airhead

I think Cat is more socially airheaded while Pepper is more intellectually airheaded. Pepper is aware of what’s going on around her (most of the time) while Cat is not. However Pepper isn’t great at problem solving. I like Pepper’s character and I think it’s pretty different from Cat’s :)

I don’t think they should have even made characters close to the og because it will make people compare them

i think it’s a huge misstep in general to make the characters mirror the characters in the original. all it’s going to do is create comparison, in the form of “the original is better”

I fell like Pepper is just much more unaware than reaaallly dumb I mean she was perfectly learning different languages in episode 2 just to compete with Jen. Cat could never do that because Cat was like mentally ill type of dumb

utterly useless :
I kinda wish they would like make her secretly smart as an excuse to unlabotomize her bc she is so self aware it would make sense that she is smarter than she seems

i actually rlly liked how they did pepper being an airhead. she feels a lot more grounded than cat, because she's really aware of others emotionally, unlike cat who seemed to not be very present in spirit most of the time 😭

jerome_evans02 :
I think in some episodes they take the ditzyness too far I feel most the times it does a good job feeling like someone who is incredibly smart nd talented playing up being goofy as a joke as opposed to late series cat who was always over the top stupid

there are many clips u can use to say pepper is a similar kind of dumb to lobotomisedcat but the one u chose is literally sarcasam? personally i think she reads as playing dumb for the most part like joking around with her friends but i totally understand ppl not liking it (also i havent finished all the eps yet but from what ive seen its much more palatable than cat)
